rived: it was from above: it was born
of God Brother Hunt was good be-
cause he believed in, and trusted the
Lord of Life. He believed in being
good for goodness sake, for Christ's
Z sake, for the sake of others, that he
might impart unto others some spiri-
tual gift. In so doing, his own faith
was strengthened. Sometimes mans
real character and reputation may
not coincide, but they do, we believe
in the case of Brother Hunt.
"2. The second statement l would
7 like to make concerning Brother Hunt
is the secret of his power to live the
Christian life, the power to see it

nothing but write this shepherd psalm
he would have endeared himself to
every age for the past 5000 years. Our
Bible analyst has found in it three
pictures of what God wants to see in
everyone of u.s.; his children, viz, "a
Saviour Knowing Child of Cod" verse
1; can Ever Growing Child of Grace, .
verses "a, and "An Overlooking Child
of Gladness." verses 5, 6.
It Is So PERSONAL.
It is so precious to us because it is
so personal. In its six brief verses are
IL personal prorouns, in every one OF
which the believer may, if he will,
write his own name by faith: "The
Lord is MY shepherd; I shall not
want. He naketh me to lie down in
green pastures: he leadeth me beside
the still waters. He restoreth my soul;
he leadeth me in the paths of right
eousness," etc. It is so personal may
make it my prayer to tell God what
he means to me, or may make it my
creed to tell the world what the Good
Shepherd" of my soul is to me. Here
is personal care and loving provi-
dence for me, food and sustenance for
body and soul, forgiveness of sin in
the past and preservation from tenn
ptation in the future: che restoreth
my soul: he leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness" Here is assurance
of answer to. our prayer, Forgive us
our trespasses, and lead us not into
temptation" AS Franklin's kite
brought the lightning down from the
heavens to the jar and the key, these
personal pronouns bring the very es-
acnce of religion down from heaven
to supply our deepest spiritual needs.
1t Is So Precious.
This is our favorite chapter because
that which it makes so personal is so
precious. Gods loving providence, his
guidance, his forgiving grace and
keeping power, his presence and COM
fort even in the experience of death,
the defense of his rod, the grace Of
his staff, his hospitality in the life
bevor,d death in "the house OF the
Lord which the Good Shepherd him
self has pictured as my Fathers
house of many mansions and q place
prepared by him for US; the fellow

YOUTH MARCHES ON.

From the cradle comes a babe
And soon he's standing alone.
Each day brings forth new light
AS youth marches on.
Years quickly pass by,
And out of school he goes;
Then comes the time to start in life,
Or wonder among hidden hedge
rows.
Youth has determination,
AS he. marches on the battlefield OF
life:
( He waves high his honored banners,
And forgets those Of sorrow ana
strife.
Sometimes the way is stormy,
And from the blue, the stars have
gone;
But all of these obstacles are over
come,
And youth marches on"

Two Traffic Problems

The Commissioners of the District
have approved proposal to ask the
coming session of Congress for leg
islation under which they could
limit the number of taxicabs in the
National Capital.
This is a regulation which has been
needed in Washington for many
years and one which has been re-
quested on numerous occasions. But
until Congress enacts the necessary
statute the local authorities are
powerless to act.
There is no doubt, however, that
the Commissioners already possess
the authority to correct another of
Washington's worst traffic problems.
They need no new legislation for it.
They really need no long drawn out
studies" or public hearings. All they
need to do to regulate pedestrian
traffic is to sign the order. The au-
thority and responsibility rest solely
with them.
They know the problem, they have

China Fights On

Preoccupation of the world with
European events has made it forget
that war still RACES in the Far East;
that next week marks the seventeenth
month of China's resistance Of the
undeclared Japanese invasion, and
that victory for the would-be con-
querors, despite the extent of their
military occupation, is not yet within
their grasp.
Some graphic details of the phase
the campaign has now assumed are
supplied by the American Council Of
the Institute of Pacific Relations.
Writing in its Far Eastern Survey,
Norman Hanwell states that guerrilla
forces in China are well established
and in position to carry on their
warfare indefinitely" With the clos
ing OF Hong Kong and French Indo-
China as sources Of munition sup
plies, regular, large-scale operations
by Chang Kai-shek's armies are ad-
mittedly hampered, and, since the
fall Of Hankow, seem almost to have
come to standstill.
Nevertheless-and it Is almost a
startling revelation of the colossal
vastness Of China-three- -fourths of
North China alone, encompassing
farm lands In the interior, remain
In Chinese hands. Areas under enemy

Christmas Seals

The organized campaign against
the White Plague in Washington
began thirty years ago with the
establishment Of the District Of
Columbia tuberculosis Association
on October 81, 1908. Its purpose
from tlW start was humane, its
methods educational, preventive and
curative in character. Three decades
of effort have saved uncounted,
perhaps an uncountable number of
lives.
But the final victory has not yet
been won. tuberculosis is an enemy
with which there never can be any
armistice or compromise. The war
must be carried on until its cause
has been altogether eliminated.
Funds for the work, as the public
long has known, are raised by the
sale OF Christmas seals at a penny
each. The Star annually lends its
resources to the campaign by pub
licizing these attractive little poster
labels, urging their use on Yuletide
mail and especially on gifts ex-
changed by friends as symbols of
the Divine Gift of the Holy Child OF
Bethlehem.
In 1887, distribution of the Christ
mas Seals brought nearly fifty thou
sand dollars to the depleted treasury
of the tuberculosis Association. This
year the need is equally great, and
1t is to be hoped that the response
will be commensurately generous.
Every citizen, every resident of
Washington is asked to help.

control are primarily the great port
cities, railways and coastal regions.
Severance of the cities from the in
terror, according to the Far Eastern
Surveys informant, reacts to the de-
tenders benefit, as disappearance Of
transport facilities is of minor i'm
portance for rural regions. AS the
guerrillas' operations extend into the
entire life of the peasantry, they can
obtain necessary foods, most crop
lands being in sections which. they
control, thus no longer serving as
sources of supplies for Japanese-held
urban communities.
So it is now with guerrilla warfare
along front of 5000 miles-as long
as from New York to San Francisco
that the Japanese have now mainly
to cope. A year and half of prac-
tice has made Chiang's irregulars
expert in that type Of fighting,
though in being subject to mechan-
lied attack, especially from the air,
they face terrific odds. They are, on
the other hand, almost self sufficient
in arms and munitions requirements.
Pending China's ability to open up
new land-route channels of munition
supplies, to compensate her for the
loss OF those which formerly came
from overseas through British and
French ports, the guerrilla movement
cannot be overlooked as an impor-
tant and well-intrenched factor in the
decision and capacity of the Chinese
to prolong their gallant resistance of
japanese aggression. Working pro-
gressively in their favor is the GER
tainty that the enemy's economic
structure is strained to the cracking
point with every hour that victory
over the tenacious foe is postponed.

have busted themselves preparing camps
for the quick housing of the refugees
(two very large camps already filled to
capacity, and in addition have found
permanent homes for $500 refugee chill
dren. To accomplish this splendid help,
the Netherlands authorities cut red tape,
ignored passport regulations, made no
demands for financial coverage for this
tremendous influx but like tender,
compassionate mother, opened wide her
arms to comfort and care for the panic
stricken homeless hordes. Little Hol-
land may be small spot on the map,
but her light shines bright in a darken-
ing world. May Uncle Sam and John
Bull recognize that light and do some
thing more concrete than just voicing
their indignation over the plight of the
German refugees.
There are plenty of wide-open spaces
in the United States that need rejuve-
nation and development. American
Jewry is planning to spend two hun
dred million dollars to care for the
refugees when they are safely out of
Germany. Why not bring the refugees
into this country on temporary pass
ports, to be maintained here as paying
guests of American Jewry, until perma-
nent homes can be found for them in
other lands? Why let two hundred mil
lion American dollars go out Of the
United States to help clean up and i'm
prove British colonies? Why not keep
that vast sum in circulation right here
in our own country, where it will give
impetus to trade where impetus is
needed-in the sparsely settled and i'm
poverished sections of the South, South
west and MiddleWest?
