lion against the world, In the name Of
the eternal truth about human nature.
We begin to offer Christianity again as
the solution Of the problems Of the world
In opposition to secular movements which
seek the solution in another direction"
These are strong words and singularly
pertinent to our time There can be no
question that II the Christian religion is
to prevail and Christian civilization to
endure, creeds and precepts must come
to f1nd their finest expression in daily
contacts. Too many of us dissociate our
professed religious convictions from our
daily habit. 1t concerns itself largely
with creeds and professions of faith; it
does not cut deeply into the customs and
practices in which we daily engage.
There was nothing anemic about either
the person or teachings of Jesus. The
"manliness Of Jesus" as Thomas Hughes
put 1t, Is conspicuous in all His ministry,
He did not prescribe religious practice
that appealed to the weak; He did pre-
scribe religious practice that called forth
the heroic elements in human nature. He
undertook to make no compromises with
conditions that were vicious, unwhole-
some and inequitable. He made disci-
pleship not an easy but hard thing,
He definitely affirmed: IF any man will
come after Me, let him deny himself, take
up his cross daily and follow Me-"
When we take Jesus teachings at their
face value we shall begin in a practical
way to meet the surging issues of our
time and to solve our complex problems
In a way that shall effect permanent
results. II the Issue at nreSent {s &c on
Englishman has said, one that concerns
a conflict between Christianity and
Communism. 1t lays upon those of us
VINO believe IN the sovereignty of Christ
serious and weighty obligations

The Crucifed.

Velasquez, the greatest of Spanish
artists, once was inspired to paint a
pict' e of the Saviour of Mankind as He
hung upon the Cross. When the work
had been finished the public was invited
to see it. Hundreds accepted the oppor-
tunity to inspect noble but profoundly
depressing Interpretation of an ancient
sacred theme. The untutored masses
wept over it., went away in tears. But
the professional critics were moved to an
appreciation which was -eyed-be-
cause they understood more accurately
what the painter had done.
The Christ of Velasquez's vision was
not the Son of God, incapable of suffer-
ing. Rather, He was all men epitomized.
His agony is the pain and sorrow of the
race. The lines of His body are human
lines His countenance is human face
averted yet resigned In the torment OF
His sacrifice. Perhaps the moment is
that IN which He asks of His Father:
why hast Thou forsaken me?" To
create such sermon in pigments, the
artist perforce must have known torture.
What other explanation could there
be? 1t is the verdict of history that the
Saviour is crucified anew from genera
ton to generation-in the sentient souls
who bravely strive to follow Him. Today.
while civilization totters on the brink of
universal war, millions Of humble, HARM
less people, bewildered and dismayed,
appeal to Christ against their fate. It
is a pagan Cross they fear, unmerited
punishment they seek to escape, a USE
less immolation they feign would avoid.
There is no Velasquez to paint their grief.
Only his subject comprehends.

ments and knowledge" and thirty -five
objects Of common use," all intended to
constitute "a record of our time for the
information of posterity."
Such an experiment, of course, is in
teresting in itself. Even though 1t repre-
sents an enterprise whose fruition can
not be appraised for fifty centuries, con-
temporary Americans will indorse its
objective. The hope that remote de-
scendants Of living men and women may
discover the deposit and visualize in
vivid detail the life which We now lead"
is not unworthy. People invariably, con-
sistently purposefully strive to make the
earth better place of residence for its
inhabitants in the future than it has
been in the past. Their aspiration is
force which produces gradual improve
ment day by day. No individual can
guess the ultimate goal, yet every hon.
orable soul wishes to contribute con-
structively toward it.
The present age has known war and
revolution. economic disorder, class strife,
famine, crime and universal suffering.
But it also has accomplished marvellous
progress, gains in art and science, VIC
tories in the increase of knowledge help
full to the race, triumphs over circum-
stance which formerly had seemed un-
amenable to any correction. The Worlds
Fair is to demonstrate this truth, and the
time capsule may carry its message into
eternity. A similar cache, established by
our ancestors in 3062 BIC, would have
given us answers to some of the most i'm
portant questions which the antiquarians
of the current era are asking.

The experts Of the Federal Communi-

very serious condition in the ether waves
by which an instrumentality of life and
health may, If continued under present

operation of apparatus used in the treat

that can be heard not only across the
continent but across the ocean.
The continued uncontrolled operation
OF these machines also is playing havoc

ing to sacrifice for somewhat uncertain
ideal. survey of newspaper opinion
discloses that the newspapers, too, are
calling for isolation-with all that means
in the way of more drastic New Deal
than any yet proposed.
1t is in this situation, the experts find,
that the real strength of the dictator
ships lies.
Germany and Italy are organized on a
war basis. Their people are educated to
expect call for sacrifice. Their econo-
mics are geared to war and the public is
disciplined to respond Immediately to the
orders of the state, regardless of the type
OF sacrifice that these orders may de-
mand. Industrialists and finazciers are

War, in fact, would not need to bring
much change either in the tempo or the
attitude of the Fascist nations.

This striking power of the relationships
is used to shatter the nerves of the al
ready harassed European democracies.
Each surrender only leads to more
strength for Germany and Italy, and
more particularly for Germany. With
the Sudeten areas of Czechoslovakia in
their grasp, the Germans are free to
extend their sway almost uninterrupted
eastward through Europe. The Sudeten
Mountains, until now, have provided a
military threat to the German flank in
any broad sweep eastward. This sweep
now can 60 on, through economic pene-

PROCLAMATION
BY MAYOR

Each year Americans in every
community are called upon to take
part in great nationwide move
ment to relieve human suffering
and raise health standards in this
country I refer to the work done by
the Juneau Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross and thousands of
other chapters throughout the coun-
try
1t is not necessary, know, for me
to remind citizens of our commun-
ity that the work of the Red Cross
is vital contribution to our COM
munity welfare. Both from the
standpoint of the year-round local
program and work on a national
basis such as the relief for victims
of disasters, the fight against cpl
denies, public nursing for isolated
communities, or assistance to serv-
ice men or disabled veterans, Red
Cross aid to those needing help has
proved its worth.
For years past our community
has had share in this work through
contributions made by local citi-
zens.
The annual membership Roll Call
of the Red Cross, through which
such work is supported, is from Ar
mistice Day through Thanksgiving
Day. Your support during this peri
cd will insure a continuation of
Red Cross work here and in other
parts of the country. The Red Cross
asks SO little, yet does so much, that
we cannot afford to deny such an
appeal.
am pleased, therefore, as Mayor
of Juneau, to designate this period
as time when all members will be
asked to renew their memberships,
and those who have not enrolled
before are asked to add their names
