ness comes because of something
that I do not intend to obey. Live
up to the knowledge that we now
have and God will provide know
ledge and truth as it is needed.
No man ever receives a knOWl-
edge of God without Immediately
being put to the test over it. We
disobey and the wonder why we do
not grow spiritually. The teach
ings of Jesus hit us where we live
Many times the light or the COM
mand to do something is the very
thing that we have cherished most
and hesitate to part with the most.
We cannot wear a mask before
God.
In addition to the command to do
something, God provides the way,
the solution. Take the case of the
gambler. The command is to cease
gambling. How may this be ac-
complished. The gambling urge is
one of he elemental urges of the
human race. So after perverted
and used for unworthy ends the
gambling instinct is one of the most
valuable instincts possessed by ma, n
and when now does it find truer or
more complete outlet and fulfilment
than in religion. But a person must
obey before he can find out this
wonderful use to which it may be
put. Religion is Betting your life
that there is God" Inasmnch as
all of us have done this, ina much
as we have yielded ourselves up to
God and obeyed what we know to
be the command, so much has the
religion worked. In other words.
Surrender all that you know of
yourself to all that you know of
Cod and as the days go by, the
surrender may be made more com
mplete, because when we 10 his
will, we know the truth Back God
and watch him win your own
Derby"
When Jesus brings thing to
your mind, don't shirk it. First go,
at the risk of being thought
fanatical you must obey what God
tells you or you will not know the
truth.

tween scientific truth and spiritual
truth, altho they have common
characteristics. Scientific truth is
relative matter, entirely depend
ent upon the age in which the
truth is recognized. The scientific
truth of yesterday is the obsolete
theory today, while the heersy of
day is the accepted truth of TO-
tomorrow. While there is change in
spiritual things, for the most part
the truth Of yesterday is the ir-
revocable truth of today and to-
morrow. Scientific truth is at the
beck and call of the intellect, being
limited by the limitations of the
mind. which are many. Intellectual
curiosity is the guide of science,
subject to all the caprice and
fallacies of the human brain.
The golden rule for spiritual
understanding is not intellect, but
Obedience.
Herein is the difference! If a
man wants insight into the m'nd
OF Jesus he must first obey. AS in
science, we only advance as we live
up to known truth. A man may
know ever so much, and vet may
not grow, because he has not ap-
propriated what he already knows.
Spiritual truth is even as a lantern
in a persons hand. The light only
illuminates a certain part of the
pathway, but we cannot say that
we will not go ahead because all of
the road is not illumined. We must
first go as far as the lantern lights,
and behold, as we move, we find
that the light travels ahead of US,
lighting the pathway. all because
we obeyed.
When things become dark and
dismal for me in the spiritual
world, may be sure of the fact that
there is something that l will not
do, some command that l will not
obey. Intellectual darkness comes
thru ignorance, but spiritual dark

"THE ROYAL ROAD TO TRUTH"
"If any man will do His will. he
shall know of the doctrine"-John
7:1Y.
A legend reads that once a man
went to heaven. and while st OIL
ing about the streets, saw a group
of men gathered together, looking
over the battlements of heaven,
laughing to each other at something
that was happening beneath. An
other man was back of these men,
chipping pieces Of stone from a
large stone. He would take these
pieces, pound them into fine dust
with a pestle and mortar, then
would distribute this among the
men in the group. Taking this in
their hands, thev would sow it over
the battlements of heaven as one
would SOW grain. Then they would
laugh. The curious onlooker could
restrain himself no longer, and ap-
preaching the man with the pestle
and mortar, he asked what it was
all about. "This large stone," re-
piled the laborer, is truth. 1 take
these small pieces, grind them into
dust and they are thrown over to
the grovelling mortals below. The
reason they laugh is because in
their crawling about, one Of the
mortals sometimes chances upon
one of these grains of truth. He
holds it aloft and shouts 81 have
the truth" Men run after him.
That is why we laugh.
What is Truth? is the question
once put to the master by Plate.
How many we know truth when we
see it? There is a difference be.

And have you ever heard a
group of men playing poker, baWl-
ing each other out and calling
each other all sorts of insulting
names-and then seen them shake
hands and go off, arm in arm, to-

Men take things cheerfully and
unconcernedly. They do not per-
nit themselves to get all fused
and wrought up inside. They
don't waste a lot OF energy worry
ing about things.
But a woman takes everything
seriously, from a bridge game to

INTRICATE

In connection with the funeral
services for Mr.. Dern it Is to be
noted that Secretary of State Cor.
dell Hull did not attend. He was
not present because of the fact
that President Roosevelt was out
of the city and in accordance with
the custom Secretary Hull became
the highest ranking Government
official in the Nations Capital.
and the President asked him to
stay in the city as his representa-
tive.
From time to time precedent and
custom as to who shall fill the
Presidents shoes while he is away
from the Capital has caused con-
siderable discussion.
For a time it was generally
thought that if the President OF
the United States left the country.
the Vice President then succeeded
him in office for the interim dur
ing which he was absent. This IS
not the truth, as no administrative
functions are ever passed from a
President no matter where he Is
as long as he holds office.
In the case of Secretary Hull,
he remained here to act for the
President without any real power.
The other secretaries did not re-
port to him. He did not open the
Presidents mail or occupy the
White House.
An example of what really hap
pens occurred recently when the
japanese sailors visited Washing
ton. They were to call officially
on the President, the Secretary Of
the Navy and Chief of Naval
Operations.
The President was out Of town.
Secretary Hull was next in line. He
was out of town. Secretary of the
Navy Swanson was the next in
line. He was i'll. And so, Admiral
William H. STANDBY, acting Secre-
tary of the Navy, received them
in the three-fold role of represent
ing the whole shooting match. It's
tricky. but it's just the way
things go.

The first faint tinkle of a tele-
phone bell will send a woman
bouncing out of her chair and
rushing for the receiver. She can
scarcely get there quickly enough.
But, if a man is concentrating on
anything, telephones can ring all
around him and go ON ringing
without ruffling his imperturba-
bility. He simply doesn't hear
them-and he wouldn't bother to
answer if he did.
The whole secret is that a man
does not take things+particularly
little thingS-as seriously as a
woman does. When he comes in,
after hard game of golf, he
usually looks fit and fine and can
drop off into a refreshing nap.
But when a bunch of women golf

guing about their strokes and mis-
takes and good shots. No woman
can ever leave her golf on the
