Committee Meets Tomorrow.
Chairman Wagner said his commit
tee would meet tomorrow to consider
the bill. He forecast hearings would
start within day or two.
Senator Wagner said the bill, which
he introduced as soon as the Presi-
dents message had been read, will
create the major legislative machinery
necessary to enable all interest, both
public and private, to push forward
toward the production of adequate
housing for the great mass of wage
and salary workers"
"One Of the important provisions
of the present bill authorizes the in
surance Of mortgages up to 80 per
cent Of the appraised value of small
houses" Mr.. Wagner continued. In
practice, this provision alone will open
up the door of home ownership to
many thousands of families that are
unable to meet the 20 per cent down
payment required under present
legislation"

Radiant Living
WHEN THE MISTS
CLEAR AWAY
By Rev. @. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

1t was in the early morning hour
that I stood at the lakeside and
watched the featherly mists as
they arose from the water like
whiffs of smoke. The water of the
lake was calm but dull, as though
not as yet fully awake to the life
Of the day that had dawned.
Later in the morning however
the mists cleared away and the
blue water of the lake received a
brilliancy from the sunlight that
was shining upon it.
Are not we often like that lake,
prevented from glowing with the
brilliance of light that shines from
our Creator, because there are
mists that have gathered upon our
surface?
There is the mists Of impatience,
the mist Of temper. the mist of
selfish desires. Or it may be the
mists of doubt, Of fear, or of worry
that becloud the surface Of ones
life.
AS the beauty of the lake was
dulled by the mists upon its sur
face, so such naists that arise out OF
a disturbed emotional nature, dull
the beauty of our countenance and
prevent the reflection of divine
radiance that gives it brilliance.
But just as the early mists OF
the lake were dissolved by the
warming rays of the morning sun
SO the mists that arise from with
in the man that mar his beauty are
dissolved by the warming rays OF
Infinite Love.
So shine upon me, o thou Son OF
Light, that all the mists that arise
from within me be dissolved, that
1 may reflect in my life the bril-
lance of thy godly glory!
