A Sermon for Today
Religion Brightens Life.
BIZ REV. JOHN r. GUM.

"Her ways are way Of pleasantness."
Proverbs iii.17.
Solomon was speaking of wisdom.
whose ways are ways of pleasantness."
But in his thought. wisdom meant
something far more than being wise in
the worldly sense; it meant being wise
in the religious sense. He warns US
against being wise in our own eyes, ="
and adds the exhortation: Trust in
the Lord with ell thin heart, and lean
not unto thine own understanding; in
all thy ways acknowledge Him and
He shall direct thy paths" 1t is,
therefore, the ways of religion that he
sees to be ways of pleasantness."
Some think of religion as a way Of
moroseness. melancholy and unhappi-
ness. Their idea is that religion is q
system Of suffering to which people are
willing to submit here that they may
not suffer hereafter. 1t is true that re-
hereafter, but at the same time it is a
thing of present Joy and blessedness.
1t is the gladdest. happiest thing in the
world. Her ways are ways of pleasant
ness. and all her paths are peace"
As nothing that man has ever dis
covered, religion gives us the bright
things of life. 1t frees us from the
guilt and power of sin. and removes
from us the shadow of the dark things
that sin brings into our lives. 1t brings
us into right relationship with God,
and makes us conscious of His love and
loving care 1t takes the sting out Of
the past, the worry out of the present
and fear out of the future. Religion
makes us love everybody. And how
our lives brighten when We begin to love
people and to do for them the things
that love bids us do. The happiest
hours we ever experience are the hours
in which We try to give others the very
best that love can give.
Religion not only makes for our moral
and spiritual well being; it makes for
our physical well being 1t makes for
peace Of mind. which in turn reduces
very greatly the wear and tear on the
human body. It helps men to coptSol
their fiery passions, thus preventing
premature old age and decay. It teaches
moderation, and thus helps men to
avoid the manifest evils Of excess. AL
this adds to physical health and
strength, as a result Of which we are
the better able to meet life's RESPONSE
bilities and enjoy its blessings.
From every viewpoint, religion
brightens our whole outlook upon life,
whether as to the here or the hereafter
It is true, as one said long ago, that
Goodness is profitable for all things,
having promise of the life which new
IS and Of that which Is to come"

1t does them good to be so cared for.
Mirrors are washed until no speck or

Everyday Psychology
~ DR.. JESSE ". sPRoWLs.
Mental Focus.

It seems that the human mind. indi-
vidual or collective. is not able to focus
upon more than one thing at a time.
The queer thing is that this human
mind prefers to focus upon the spec
tacular rather than upon the lasting.
Back in 1866 . lonely Moravian monk
discovered the laws of heredity which
now stand as the bedrock of the life
sciences. No one in 1866 cared to take
lock at this discovery, for every one
was arguing about some incidental
gossip which grew out Of Darwin S
Origin Of Species" published in 1859.
BY 1900 they were tired Of the Incl
dental and rather spectacular gossip
ing about Darwin. This gave the
scientists . chance to resMrect the
monk: And 30 the world Of funda-
mental information took on new life.
Here We are today wrangling about
economic questions. Specifically. about
dollars or taxes. Such things are in
cidental and more or less spectacular.
We will, Of course. keep on with such
subjects until some one finds a way to
focus our attention on men out Of work.
The man who succeeds in focusing the
public attention on this point will be
calling us back to something funda-
mental. There are those who seem to
think that discovery Is soon to be made.

When Responder's Hopes Are Only
for Game.
The bidding subsequent to the jump
raise is somewhat different as compared
with the major suit procedure. We
have decided to bid for game, but in
the suit contract that will necessitate
taking II tricks Consequently there is
much greater inducement to play the
hand in three no trumps and one must
strive to remain within that range I'M
til or unless it is clear that the hand
as whole is unsuitable for no trumps,
and that the best chances for game are
in contract for f1ve-odd in the suit.
Both in giving and in responding to
the jump raise in minor suit. regard
three no trumps as the preferable alter
native. and allow each other wide scope
for flexible bidding in feeling out the
no trump protection. Slip in a Sec
ondary bid in a weak off-suit If doubly
stopped. Only when there Is clearly an
open gap which neither Of you can
span should you abandon q contract
for nine tricks for one permitting the
loss OF only two tricks, in which more
over there is far less hope of being
helped by errors In the defensive play
Of your opponents.
Nevertheless, since you are giving a
game forcing response, you must be
willing to go on to the contract of five
odd in the minor suit II a contract for
three no trumps is found to be hopeless.
There is no stopping at four If you have
given the Jump raise-the bidding Is
destined to end up in either three no
trumps or five in the suit. Only rarely
will you discover a four-fcur fit in a
major suit bid secondarily.
Consequently. to make this response
you need at least two clear primary
tricks with some secondary value in
addition, and an uneven distribution to
make the hand attractive for suit play
in high contract.

ROMANCE AND
 THRILLS IN
 CAPITOL FILM
Joel McCrea and Fay Wray Shipwrecked in Most
 Dangerous Game

Adventure and romance was the decision of the public and the crit ics in a recent poll asking what type of film would be most well come and RKO-Radio Pictures answer was The Most Dangerous Game showing at the Capitol Theatore tonight.
 Based on Richard Councils clas- sic short story of the same title, l"The Most Dangerous Game" tells a weird tale of a savage nobleman, who, bored with the Inf1lls and perils of big game killing, has turned to hunting his casual guests as an advanced form of sport.
 A society girl and young Amer can are shipwrecked on the little island in the Caribbean, where this madman engages in his grue- some sport. The desperate fight of the young lovers through swamp and jungle, their efforts to coun- ter-trap the hunter, and finally, their last-minute victory over death, supply the sensational high lights of the unique story.
 Head Cast
 Joel McCrea, Fay Wray, Leslie Banks and Robert Armstrong head the cast which unfolds the eerie yarn, and in Banks, recruit from the New York and London stage, RKO-Radio Pictures has uncov- cred a new screen Iuminary of unusual brilliance.
 Banks gives a masterful per- formance as the obsessed man hunter. McCrea climbs one step nearer stardom with strong char acterization of the hunted hero, and Fay Wray lends a generous touch of romance and pulchritude to the startling story. Armstrong is seen in a brief but forceful role.
 The Most Dangerous Game" is the newest production of Merriam c. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoed- sack, whose globe e-trotting movie making accounted for such hits as Grass" Chang" and Four Fea- thers."

CHICAGO, H., March 8.-Spec- tacular advances in wholesale fresh pork prices, sometimes more than 100 per cent, have added to the problem of citizens to search for ready cash while the banks are closed.
 Sharply reduced marketings of live animals due to the uncertain ties regarding payment and threat ened closing of the stockyards in Chicago, led to the higher prices of all fresh meats. The order by which the stockyards were closed has been rescinded and the Ex- change will operate as usual under authority of the Secretary of the Treasury.
