RADIANT LIVING
THE CALM AT THE CENTER
BY Rev. C. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary II. e. Church
Sudlersviile. Md.

They tell us that In the center OF
a hurricane there is an area of calm.
And we might say that this is true
in regard to the storms of daily liv-
ing. In the midst of the furious
storms that burst upon us there is
center of calm. And that center of
calm is the center of Gods will.
That is to say that when any cris-
is or trouble breaks upon you, It is
possible for YOU to reach a place of
calmness. 1t is such place of calm
that although the fury may rage
around you, yet somehow you will be
held in quietness and In a seren-
lily.
This place of calmness is a spir-
itual attainment. II is reaching the
place where you can truly and sin
cerely pray, mot my will, but Thine
be DONE" When you honestly breathe
such a prayer as this you will find
that your soul is entering into a
strange but real state of calm.
Jesus knew what It was to be
overwhelmed by the tempest. Who
can imagine the fury of the gale that
bore down upon Him in Gethsem-
ane? 1t Frustrated Him to the ground
in prayer. It was In the midst of |
that violent storm that broke upon |
Him that He placed His will into |
that of the Fathers. And as a result |
He entered into calm of strength |
that carried Him through the terrors
and agonies of Calvary with a poise
Of master.
In the center of Gods will there is
a marvellous mastery.
In describing that unexplainable
peace that prevails in the center of
Gods will, one has said: 81 closed
ny eyes upon all created things and
Junk into a divine repose In which
Ill clamorous desires were silenced
md my mind lost itself in the !
lepths of God"

The Great Cipiliser

The magnitude of the electric in
dustry's service to the American
people is vividly demonstrated by
one fact: Power rates have been re-
vised uniformly and continuously
downward, even In periods when the
general cost of living and doing bus
iness was rapidly rising, to the end
that today the American people re-
ceive more for their electric dollar
than for the dollars spent for any
other commodity,
In the 30-year period from 1902 to
1882, according to. the Federal Power
Commission, the value of the cleo
trio central station industry's plant
and equipment increased rs times,
while its income increased % times.
Its generating capacity increased 29
times and Its output 80 times. And
where, in 1902, household power cost
an average of 16 cents per kilowatt
hour, IL today costs less than S
cents. Similar reductions have been
made in the cost of power to large
industrial users.

Election In tremendous increases in

sumers. Where there were but mill

there were more than 81 million In
1885. Where the average home used
but 264 kilowatt hours in 1913, It u.s.

use of electricity was 80 kilowatt'

Square Farsaiag Losing
FAVOR In Round Country

In many parts of the United
States, farmers are abandoning
square" farming on naturally
round" land in favor of contour
farming and strip cropping on the
contour, as advocated by the Soil
Conservation Service. Rectangular
fields and straight fences and rows
have often been the custom, even the
mark, of good farmer, wherever
slopes were not too steep. Rows right
over the tops of hills. straight up
and down slopes, created drainage
channels that quickened erosion and
increased soil and water losses. Far
mers are finding that contour farm
ing takes no more time, decreases
erosion and run-off, and requires
less power.

DRIVE TO PRESERVE
BUCHANANS HOME

In connection with the 146th an
niversary Of the birth of James
buchanan, 18th president of the
United States, the Foundation for
the preservation of Wheatland,
the presidents home at Lancaster
has opened a drive for 5000 new
members. Money from the cam
paign will be used for maintain
ing the estate which Lancaster
groups are planning to dedicate
next fall as a national shrine.
Every year thousands, including
persons from Hagerstown and the
county, visit the stone subicle
atop historic Stony Battery,
few miles from Mercersburg,
where President Buchanan was
born, April %, 1891. The pyramid
was erected in 1908.
It was here that James Buchan-
an, Sr., built his cabin and be-
came a trader and where, eight
years later, the boy who was to
become the nations chief execu-
tive, was born.
The log cabin in which it is re-
puted James Buchanan was born
was moved to Chambersburg and
is now located in North Second
street.
Buchanan married Elizabeth
Speer in 1888 and for eight years
lived at Stony Battery before he
moved to Mercersburg where he
built the large house which was
afterwards turned into a hotel and
which today is Hotel Mercer. A
plate on the building bears this
inscription: president Buchan-
ans Home" At the age of 16 he
entered Dickinson College at Car
Isle.

FLOWERS BORDER
BEAUTIFUL LAKE
Well Planned Park Will
Be One of Prettiest
In Hagerstown

A splendid addition to the
Hagerstown Park System will
be thrown open to the enjoy
ment of the public with the
completion of ;Pangborn Park,
about June 1.
Located in the northwest Sec
ton of the city on land generous
ly made available by Thomas w.
Pangborn, this will undoubtedly
be one Of the prettiest areas of
its sort in the State. The laborers
furnished by the Works Progress
Administration have leveled the
sloping ground into three broad
terraces, which descend in pictur-
esque fashion from east to west.
The topmost of these will be
given over to tennis courts and
regulation baseball diamond;
second diamond and fully equip
ped kiddies' playground will oc-
cupy the second shelf, while, most
beautiful of all, a 150x400 foot
lake nestles in the hollow. This
basin, already filled for expert
mental purposes, has recently
been drained and beds made for
lilies. These, together with more
lilies that will border the banks,
promise pleasing, variegated
color effect in the sunlight.
Seventy-five per cent of the
parks shrubbery has by now been
planted, and the visitor can there
fore get a good idea of how fine
the finished job will look. Indeed,
not only this public section but
the whole vicinity Round about
has been designed to please the
eye. Steps lead up from the ter
races to the stately Pangborn
Boulevard on the north side, and
north of that, the wide lawn out
side the fence of the Pangborn
plant has been decorated with
some of the best bushes obtain
able. seldom in any industrial
area are such neat and handsome
surroundings to be seen.
The City of Hagerstown has
assumed half the cost of the
Pangborn Park project, and the
Federal Government the other
| half.

An urge to see just how the
new administration does its
stuff officially, took me up the
creaky steps of City Hall last
week, along with my old friend
Ice and the Chief of Police. The
latter, however, wasn't working
in the capacity of guard. He
lust ambIed along for company.
One of the boys was late get
tno in. He was Republican
which reminded me of the fact
that one of their candidates was
also late in getting started in
the last campaign and as a re-
suit lost lot of jobs for the
faithfuI-or did they? Anyway,

The mention of dogs brings
out the information that James

tells me that he was reading the

Giants Rout Unsteady Cards.

Featuring the National League
program, the Giants and Cardinals
opened their season rivalry in New
York, with the loop champions finish
ing way in front, 80, simply because
the gas house gang handed them the
decision by some fielding of the bush
league" variety. Slick Castleman
pitched a six-hitter and Dick Bartell
homered with two on, but the fantastic
fielding Of the Gas House Gang was
the deciding factor.
Pittsburgh's Pirates increased their
league lead with an 8-3 win over the
Phillies as Joe Bowman came back to
his old stamping grounds and muned
his former teammates effectively.
Wild Bill Hallahan was tight in the
pinches and twirled So decision for
Cincinnati over the Boston Bees-third
straight for the Roughhouse Reds. The
Chicago Cubs winning streak ended
at six in row when the Brooklyn
Dodgers belted a couple young twirlers
for seven runs in fourth inning up
rising and went on to win 12-1.
Philadelphia's Athletics used five
pitchers, but lost to the Browns, 9-6.
Joe Vosmik collected three hits and
Bell and Bottomley had homers for
the winners.
