THE DIVINE
REWARD
BY Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

st. John the Divine tells us that
the faithful Christian shall be di-
vinely rewarded. The Promise he
gives us is this: Him that over
cometh will I make a pillar in the
Temple of my God"
Have you ever tried to visualize
this heavenly pillar?
Pillars are composed of three
parts, the base on which it stands,
the shaft which is the pillar prop
er, and the capital which adorns
the top.
In Gods heavenly Temple which
records the struggles of the Chris
tian Victors, let us think that each
part of the Temple pillar has sig
nificance.
Let US picture the base as a
block of scarlet porphyry, typify-
ing the shed blood of Jesus Christ
which, indeed, is basis of the re-
deemed life.
The shaft, emplematic of the VIC
torious life of the overcomer, /
would like to regard as a pillar of
pearly white alabaster, suggestive
of all the beauty and purity of a
sanity maiden with upturned face
standing in prayer.
And then let us picture the cap
stone, or capital, of the column.
Style in architecture is classified
by the class of capital atop the
column as Doric or Corinthian.
But like to think that the capital
of this heavenly pillar as being a
symbol of Triumphant Order, be-
ing in the shape of golden crown,
typifying the triumph of the Chris
tian who remained faithful unto
the end.
Wrote st. James: Blessed is the
man that endureth temptation, for
when he is tried, he shall receive
the crown of life which the Lord
hath promised to them that love
Him."

for what they may be worth. Take
your choice.
Check brakes frequently If they
are weak or faulty, have them re-
paired at once. They should be
adjusted evenly, with the right
amount of tension. Too many driv-
ers fail to do this, and as a result
faulty brakes" cause or contrib
ute to some 1000 deaths annually.
1t is a most disconcerting feeling
to be depending on your brakes,
and then to suddenly find out you
haven't any.
There may be some excuse for
brakes becoming weak but never
for permitting them to remain So
With four wheel brakes one should
be able to stop within 20 feet and
at 20 miles an hour; or with two
wheel brakes. within SO feet.
That's a simple test which any,
body can make. Brakes are like
true friends. They prove their
worth best when needed most.
They do not desert you suddenly
unless they are abused. But, like
discouraged humans, they need
prompt attention when they begin
to lose their grip.
A first rule of marching armies
is to take care of the feet The
proper care of the rubber feet" of
the auto is always extremely i'm
portant Tires, like sponges, have
a wear-and-tear saturation point.
They will stand for lots Of abuse
and then, like humans, they blow
up and leave you fiat. Blowouts
during recent years have caused
several hundred deaths and many
thousand injuries annually. They
are supposed to occur without
warning yet in nearly every case
the warning has long been appar-
ent in the condition of the tires.
Calm headwork is necessary
when a blowout occurs. A crash
can often be avoided by letting the
car coast to low speed before ap-
plying brakes. Each case, how
ever, requires special handling for
often driver must take a chance
on quick brake action. Always
keep the right amount of air in
your tires. The best way to pre-
vent blowouts is to discard the
tires before they reach the danger
point. Tires are always cheaper
than accidents.
No, you just can't carry things
too far-on old tires.

46 YEARS GROCERY SERVICE
American Stores Company Points

WIN fTlQe TO us hccOTu
Back in 1891, in Philadelphia,
two young men started new kind
of grocery store. They bought for
cash and sold for cash, taking ad
vantage of every price advantage,
thus they were able to sell better
foods cheaper. From this humble
beginning, forty-six years ago, the
American Stores Company now
has more than $500 stores conven-
iently located in every neighbor-
hood. The American Stores has
become a great neighborhood pan
try. :. with shelves of food that
save the modern housewife long
hours in the kitchen and prices
that give first aid to the food bud
get.
Much of the success of the COM
