RADIANT LIVING
THE TEMPLE PILLAR
BY Rev. C. III. Griffith
Methodist Pastor OF
Deals Island, Nd.

Written to encourage the suffer
ing martyrs of those dark days OF
the early Christian Church, when il
often meant death to become a
Christian, the Book of Revelation
carries an inspiring appeal to all
Christians of every age.
Throughout this book the Spirit
of God exhorts us to be oyercomers
by saying: Him that overcometh
will 1 make a pillar in the Temple
of my God!"
The word "oVercometh" as used
here is the word "nikao." meaning
ito conquer" Those Christians were
being slaughtered by a bloody per-
secution, but the Beloved John
writes for them to hold on, for he
who conquers his fear of death and
braves the martyrs death will be
made pillar in the eternal temple
of God.
What wealth of spiritual fact is
here presented to us in this inspir-
ed symbolism-a pillar in the temple
of my Godl
How impressive are those massive
columns in the Cathedral of st. John
the Divine! How well do they typify
In Christian character!
Cut from the quarries of sin, and
having had all irregularities smooth
I'd off by faithful living. and then
polished by Divine grace. the Chris
ian, as an upright column of gran
tie, becomes forever a part of the
eternal temple of God!

GET DOWN TO FUNDAMENTALS

The average American is highly

may slip through our borders sur
reptitiously and destroy freedom and
democracy as he knows it. Yet it is
highly probable, as DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler has pointed out, that
the great threat to American Demo-
cracy lies within our own borders.
Abuse Of taxing power, gradual CEN
tralization of government, and a
growing bureaucracy are a few of
the evils that are insidiously Under
mining Democracy from within, OBJ
serves DR.. Butler.
Political demagogues have taught
millions of persons to believe that
the way to. better things lies in the
destruction of wealth, or, if you will,
Redistribution of wealth." which is
another way of putting it. The tax
ing power of government is being
used to do the job. Instead of seek
ing to create more wealth, more pro-
duction, and a higher standard of
living, the country is backtracking.
The people are confused. They are
public money to be used to
destroy taxpaying enterprises and
private jobs under the delusion that
they are thereby establishing social
justice" social security" or some
condition that appeals to
mass sentiment.

|'WIFE SWAPPING''
STORY IN COURT.
AMAzES JUDGE.
Jurist Is Not Certain
He Hears Correctly

SALEM, Mass. Jan. 13 Q.N.SJ.
Witch burning trials were tame
compared to the "wife-swapping
merry-goround which whirled
rapidly in Judge Edward O'Brien's
divorce court today with the jurlst
grimly grabbing at brass-ring tacts
as they passed.
Raymond S. Lee, 81, chaut-
feur. set the legal carousel spin
ming when he calmly testified that
he, Mrs. Calvin M. Watson. Mrs.
Lee and Watson had all slept in
one bed, not once but several times.
Further, that the wives had been
Iswapped by agreement.
AS to the divorce proceedings
brought against him by his wife
and against Mrs. watson by her
husband, well-"all four of us
were in the same boat but Mrs
Watson and l were double
Crossed"
JUDGE AMAZED
That was how he described evi
dence of detectives who peered
into the Watson bedroom from a
Vantage point in the house.
IncredulouS, Judge O'Brien took
a hand in the questioning.
Q.-Were you with Mrs. War
son in her bedroom? Ayes.
Q.-What were you doing in
the home Of your best pal?
A.-No different than the four
of us we're doing before that.
Q.-Your standard of morals
is to justify your conduct by
accusing your wife. ALL I'm
saying is that we swapped wives.
Time and again, Judge O'Brien
asked that answers be repeated
to make sure he had heard cor.
rectly. Firmly he ordered a tran.
script of the testimony prepared
for District Attorney Hugh A.
Gregg and Gregg promised that
regardless of the outcome of the
double divorce suits, and if find
ings warrant, he will present the
information to the grand jury.
TOWN KNEW IT
Lee claimed the whole town of
Topsfield where both couples live
was aware of the relationship,
that both couples had participated
in It..
