"NOTHING DIFFERENT"

It was springtime in heaven;
Flowers bloomed everywhere;
The festive song of the angels
Rang out on the balmy air;
But, alone in a gorgeous garden,
Apart from the happy throng,
Stood group that was not rejoicing;
Something seemed to be wrong.
Soon their sadness was noted;
And straight to their side there
went
One of the seraphs who queried,
"Pray why are you not content 2"
With a deep sigh one of them answer
ed,

We don't find a thing we're not used

AUTUMN


The winding road through open fields
and up tree lined hill,
When Autumn takes palette and brush
working with zest and skill;
Are pictures drawn with magic pen
that blend the gold and red,
And shades the greens to every hue
that tips the blue DER head.
If you are fortunate to pass along this
lovely drive,
Where purple asters smile at you, and
golden rods alive,
Then you can pause under the trees
when Autumn paints each hue
And feel the awe inspiring thought
that Heaven is near to you.

RADIANT LIVING
Burning Hearts
BY Rev. C. Nj. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor of
Deals Island, Md.

OCdA 46A0MuS u1Os
The two disciples to whom Jesus
revealed Himself at Emmaus recalled
how their hearts burned within them
as the Stranger who, while walking
with them, had opened to their under
standing the prophecies concerning
the Christ.
And have not our hearts, too, glow
ed within us as we have been reading
the Word of God?
AS your eyes followed along some
passage of Scripture did it not sudden
ly blaze forth in all its brilliancy of
thought and of beauty, and of signifi-
canoe? Was not your mind suddenly
filled with vision and your heart en-
compassed with a glow of warmth ?
And was not that inward burning an
indication of the drawing near of the
Blessed Interpreter?
AS a certain written says: eve are
not separated from God by epatial
distance but only by moral dissimili-
tude. To the eye of purity He mani
tests himself as He does not to the
world. A soul in harmony with His
infinite perfections will see Him and
enjoy Him at all times and in all
places"
1t is in the glowing heart that we
recognize the approaching Risen Lord.
A soul coming into harmonious re-
lationshop with God is capable of
sensing the Divine presence.

AS a mirror, clean and polished is
brought into the streaming rays of

golden glow, so the heart, having been

cleansed by the Spirit of God, glows
in golden radiance at the approach of

PWA CLOSED ITS
DOORS FRIDAY TO
FEDERAL GRANTS

Under Congressional deadline, the
Public Works Administration closed
it's doors Friday, September Both to
further applications for Federal out
right grants to aid in construction of
necessary, permanent public improve
ments under the 1888 PWA Recovery
Program.
In a telegraphic report to Admins
traitor Harold l.. Ickes in the early
hours this morning, Regional Direc-
tor Colonel NJ. E. Gilmore stated Gag
erness of communities to share in
PWA program far exceeds funds made
available by Congress. At deadline,
communities in Maryland have filed
100 applications for PWA outright
45 per cent grants of $27,5OO,OO0 for
schools, hospitals, waterworks, sew
ers, bridges, etc to cost $62,000,000.
Allotments already approved for al
projects to cost $15,2O5,519 with
grants of $6,842,483."
In making public the telegram, Col
onel Gilmore stated that closing the
doors to further applications does not
mean a halt in the making of allot-
ments and that they will continue to
be made until the remainder of the
funds for the purpose are exhausted.
Colonel Gilmore also pointed out
that, while the supply of funds is OBJ
viously inadequate to meet the flood
of applications, the funds shortage
does not mean rejection of the sur
plus applications. They will be kept
on file to await possible future ac-
tion.
To make it possible for communi-
ties to get actual construction under
way far in advance of the December
31st construction deadline laid down
by the Law, Colonel Gilmore, said,
PWA experts have speeded up their
examinations of the engineering, fl
nancial and legal aspects of the pro-
posed projects. The result is, he said,
that already dirt is flying on eleven
1888 PWA projects in this state. These
involve $4,245,359 total construction
cost.
The current PWA program in Mary
land will involve site of construction
payrolls estimated at $6,12O,000, all
to be paid to workers at prevailing
wage rates. The building program
will require steel, bricks, lumber, ce-
ment, machinery, and other building
materials with an estimated value OF
100000.
The site of construction payrolls are
apart from the much larger total in
the forests, mines and factories anC
in transportation and other agencies
where two and half men for every
man at work on the site are engaged
in producing and transporting the ma
terials used.
Colonel Gilmore stated "on behalf
of Administrator Ickes, l want to eX-
press the appreciation of the Public
Works Administration for the manif
icent cooperation ON the part of State
County, Municipal and School Off
cials which has made possible the new
