Abundance

We learn that the infinite Father
Mother God is infinite good, Is Love,
Is Life, is Truth, Is all that is true.
real, and eternal. As we learn this.
we are seeking His kingdom: and In
this seeking we find Righteousness
and justice. Now, through the opera
ton OF divine law, the law which lis
always operative In our behalf, we
find the things which are needed.
Not a great surplus, necessarily. but
sufficiency. 1t will be recalled that
the mama which fed the children or
Israel In the wilderness fell day by
day, enough to meet the days need.
But when, fearful OF the future, they
sought 10 accumulate a supply, Ii
spoiled and became worthless Day py
day does this loving Father, source
OF all good, meet our need.
Into the mental situation involved
enters another factor faith - full
faith In God and His ability and will
ingness TO supply our daily bread.
Jesus said (Matthew 21:22): What
soever ye shall ask In prayer, believ-
ing. We shall receive. And his obvi~
Gus meaning Is that we must look to
God with full faith, never doubling
the presence of the Father or His
love for His children. The little child
looks to his parents for his food,
clothing. and shelter. never doubling.
And they are supplied. When, follow
Ing the example Of the child, we look
with scientific assurance to our heav-
only Father, our prayers are an
swered. our needs are met. God new

We shall know that the condemna-

the material sense of man, a mortal.

nor ever can be. Through understand

On page 228 OF Science and Health.
Mrs. Eddy writes: "The enslave-
n1ent OF man is not legitimate. it
will cease when man enters into his
heritage or freedom, his God-gfYen
dominion over the material senses.
Mortals will some day assert their
freedom In the name of Almighty
Cod. This freedom applies not less
to the sense Of limitation in necessary
things than to the lack OF health.
Gods largess Is not limited Man Is

HTHE problem Of supply is one
with which the great majority
~ OF mankind Is faced. To maet
daily needs tor what are generally
considered as the necessities Of life
occupies the time and attention OF
mortals, often to the exclusion Of al
other activities. Thus the problem
becomea a serious one As one con-
templates this situation the questions
arise. lis there no escape from this
type of bondage2 Must humanity
yield impagsiyely 10 this grinding
need, submit without hope Of escape
to this form OF slavery The answer
to these questions lis empbatieallg
NO! But the inquirer is helped little.
IL at ali. by the mere negation. He
would not know the way out of the
bondage whicb, 1t geeas, humanity
has accepted & inevitable a concll-
sion derived ffom the Scrlptural as
sertion that man was nade-to till the
ground and THAT his bread must be
earned by the aweat of his brow. But
these conclusions have held mortals
only because they have been accepted
as inescapanie.
Now. there is way OF escape. a
a
and from the necessity for grinding
toll And Christ Jesus has shown US
the way. On one occasion he said to
his disciples: Take no thought Tor
your life, what ye shall eat. or what
ye shall drink; nor yet for your
body. what ye shall put on. Is not the
life more than meat, and the body
than raiment?' And after calling at
A.. L - he .gt. 4x~r
which the heavenly Father provides,
he asked, "Are ye not much better
than they?" Surely, Ii the birds are
provided with food sufficient to sus-
tain them, mortals should be able
likewise to receive Of the abundance
provided by the Father OF all.
Jesus went further In his teaching
than merely to assert that God loves
and provides for His children.s He
even gave precise rule for gaining
the things thought to be necessary
to meet the need OF human experience.
His instructions were these fMat-
thew 6:33). "Seek ye first the king
dom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added
unto you.' Here is concise and
practical rule. Seek We first the
kingdom of God" Then the first step
fs to learn how to seek this king
dom. Mary Baker Eddy makes this
clear In the definition Of heaven In
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures (p. 5S7): HEAVEN.
Harmony; the reign Of Spirit: gov
ernment by divine Principle; spirit
uality; bliss: the atmosphere OF Soul. =
AS we rest in the consciousness Of
the divine presence. and God as ever
present, we are thinking spiritually.

DISAGREEMENT

ANSAA*sssssN6 ANVIA RAEG ono
still unsurveyed and unmarked, we
protested the playing of the game
on this field to President Hale and
suggested his other field. With no
attempt at arbitration or discussion,
he bluntly declared the game would
be played there or not at ALL All
previous efforts to see OF discuss the
matter with him were not allowed.
We were reliably informed that his
friends and members Of his football
team attempted to influence him
without result. We kept our boys
in their rooms, tapped and ready to
play until after game time. That
night, as we left the campus for
home, / could not help but wonder
what next as I passed the new field
and noticed it laying there muddy,
unpacked, unmeasured and unlined,
after approximately two years Of
construction.
1t is the hope OF the college that
no similar occasion present itself in
the future. Surely, steps will be
taken TO avoid such q recurrence.
With no game on Thanksgiving Day,
the football season Of Kentucky
State just about ended. We might
mention that negotiations were un-
der way for post-season affair be-
tween Kentucky State and Virginia
State in Atlanta, providing both
teams were victorious on Thanks
giving Day. You know the outcome.
Kentucky did not play and Virginia
State was defeated. Hence, no game
here. A recent offer to play Texas
College in the Chocolate Bowl has
reached US. We might mention that
much consideration is being given
this offer, and more news may be
Forthcoming. The gridders of Ken
lucky State are anxious to play
somebody-anybody They would
like much to meet Morgan, any
where. at anytime: But it seems
that Morgan does not go in for post
season games, so Kentucky State
will have to look elsewhere for more
lands to conquer"

Sees Loyalist Victory
Asked what he thought were the
chances of victory for the Loyalist
Government, Garland expressed the
Utmost confidence in the ability of
The Spanish people to drive out the
fascists.
'sThe Spanish Government is
stronger today than ever. 1t is go
ing to win. The capitalist press in
his and other countries naturally
play up the gains made by the fas-
cists That's where their interests
lie. But the interests of the Negro
and other oppressed groups lie with
the Loyalists.
"The government had the terrific
job Of creating a new army after the.
fascist generals rebellion. It has
organized a powerful Peoples Army
in The face of tremendous difficulties.
That army is now strong enough and
well-equipped to drive out the fas-
cists."
Garland is home on furlough. He
expects to return to Spain next

who had given them ride.
Hours later the merchant was
found securely bound to tree
where his assailants had left him.
He was fortunate that they had not
taken his life to cover up the theft
Of his money and automobile.
So long as the public encourages
boys to stand on corners and thumb
rides, the younger generation will
continue to expect something for
nothing. Furthermore, with the
problem of transportation solved by
friendly motorists, thousands Of boys
are likely to throw Off al family

enactment of legislation President
Roosevelt proposes to ask the special

down-cushioned chairs and lounges.
Bill Donaldson, press gallery superin-

being an interior decorator, finally
was forced to call in one to show him
how to give work room a clublike
atmosphere.

hotel after 80 years of similar service
in some of the swank hotels in Miami,
Asheville. NC, and other places where
people have fastidious appetites and
don't worry about the size of the

House members get exactly what they
order and cooked to suit a particular
taste. He is confident he can meet
these qualifications, because he's
