fFrom "The War Cry")

Bv many American, The SalVa- tion Army is affectionately re- membered as the organization which rendered unforgetable serV- ice during the war. By many, too' 1t is thought of as an organiza-, ton which has done much gooo on 1 ocal relief programs, ana which holds services of an evan gelistic nature, both in its halls and on neighboring street corners.
 The frontiers of army endeavor, however, stretch away and beyond a town, city, or even 8 country. In nearly every civilized corner of the world, and in many un- civilized places, 1t has set up US standard, preaching its simple gospel in many tongues and dia- lects and ministering to peoples oI all races and colors. In the an cient capitals of Europe the aris- tocracy of the land, yea, even to royalty, have gathered in those meetings dedicated to the winning of men and women to Christ, and the Salvationists have told no less eagerly the same message ot sav- ing grace to the common people of the hills and plains of India and Africa and the Isles of the Sea.
 The founder of this great move ment, William Booth. himself set the key-note of internati0nalism when nc said, ''Every land is my zatherls1d. for every land is my

Yes! Salvation Army Is An
 International Organization

Fathers land" Born, as he was in provincial English city, be- fore the radio and the airplane had brought the world to our front door it was strange that this passion for other lands should burn in his soult, but burn it did, and to the very last days of his life the souls of men and women of every cline pressed before him their urgent claims.
 This spirit was passed on to his officers. Men and women who had never travelled farther than the next town went forth gladly to the uttermost ends of the earth, on Salvation Army service. Some became Salvation nomads, jour- neying from country to country in the interests of the Kingdom, un- til vertically every land became their fatherland.
 Today, in different parts of the mission field, officers of every na- tionality work happily side by side Scandinavian, English, Austral- ian, German, Canadian-their na- tional differences, if any, are for gotten. They are one in that great fellowship of this Gross.
 International in scope and in- ternational in spirit, the Salvation Army forms a great and unique worldwide comradeship united in aim, purpose and allegiance to the king of kings, whose motto is' christ for the World-the
 World for Christ"

thus defined by the Council of Trent. "The saints who reign together with Christ, offer up their own prayers to God for men. It is good and useful sup pliantly to invoke them, and to have recourse to their prayers, aid and help for obtaining benefits from God, through His Son Jesus Christ, who alone is our Redeemer and Saviour.
 "Those persons think inn piously who deny that the saints, who enjoy eternal hap piness in heaven, are to be m- voked; who assert that they do not pray for men; who de- clare that asking them to pray for each of us in particular in idolatry, repugnant to the word of God, and opposed to the honor of the One Mediator of God and men, Christ Jesus"
 The old and New Testament plainly teach the principle and the practice of asking the pray- CTS of our brethren, especially of the just (James v. 16-10 St. Paul in his letters continu1 ally asked the brethren to pray for him (Rom. XIV. 30: Ephl VI. 18-19; I Thess. V 25). Cod commanded Abimelech to asl Abraham's prayers: "He shal pray for thee and thou shal live" (Gen. xxx 7-1D.

- Weekly Sunday School Lesson THE WEAKNESS OF ESAU
about his prosperity than about his own ease or indulgence.
Text: Genesis 25:27-s4; 7:41-45

about his prosperity than about his own ease or indulgence.
 Jacob had plenty to eat, and he had cooked some savory pottage, when Esau came from the field, faint and hungry. Esau said to Ja- cob, Feed me, pray thee, with that same red pottage, for l am faint" It seemed very simple re- quest, but Jacob envied Esau, his elder brother, and said, First sell me thy birthright."
 The story, you see, has an old fashioned setting. We do not talk like that today, and we do not quite understand how birthright could be upset by so simple a trans action.
 Esau's reasoning was very simple and very easy. What use was his birthright when he was tired to the point of death2 But Jacob was very exacting. He did not want any mere promises; what he wanted was a sworn agreement. So Jacob gave Esau some pottage, and Esau gave his right to Jacob. Naturally, Esau hated Jacob, and planned to kill him, but their mo- ther heard of his threat and warn ed Jacob; so Jacob had to escape for his life, finding refuge with an uncle. Here he got into troubles of his own.
 It is not 8 pleasant story, nor one that is very fine commen- tary on the teaching that a man should be his brothers keeper. Its lesson is very largely negative in its warning against weakness and greed.
 One would not wish to hold up either of these brothers as a good example to youth. The warning, rather, is against the weakness that destroys life's chances of success, and against the greedy and ambi- tiou spirit that makes ignoble and unworthy the success that is won.
 
 If we were to judge Jacob only by this incident, he would be a sorry figure, unworthy of all the sermons that have been preached about him. But just as there were better ele- ments in Esau, in spite of his gen. eral weakness and instability, so Ja- cob had qualities that were not to be judged by his faults.
 He was capable of repentance; he had foundation of faith; and he had what Esau lacked-some ele- ments of stability upon which civil lizations can be built.

Manager Shea said today that some members of the local staff will be at Wilby High school on Tuesday afternoon to conduct tests for seniors and to receive applications for jobs which will be placed on file at the local office. Permission to give these tests in the commercial schools was granted to the local manager by the board of education on Monday. He was advised at the time to take up the matter with each principal and make arrange ments in that fashion. Wilby will be the first local high school to be contacted by the Employment Ser vice.
 Making Arrangements
 Manager Shea said today that he was making arrangements at Crosby, Leavenworth, Waterbury Catholic and Sacred Heart High schools for registration within the next two weeks.
 He also pointed out today that in the latest report of the State En- ployment Service there appears a lengthy article in connection with a system started here by George L. Hubbard, local interviewer. The Sys- tenn is still in use and consists of @ radio interviewer each morning over station WATR for some three or four persons who are looking TOT work in the city. The article m the report was written by MT. Hub bard and explains his method ot interviewing applicants on the radio. The only difference between this kind of interview and the regular one conducted in the office is the fact that no names are mentioned over the air in order to save persons out of work any embarrassment.
