"Boners" OF the last Congress are
providing summer entertainment for
the expert at the Library of Congress
who indexes Federal statutes.
The legislators, for example, amend
ed the Employees Compensation Act
of 1916 to include osteopaths among
the medical men mentioned in the law.
But Congress already had made the
same amendment in 1926.
Congress passed a War Department
appropriations bill June 2, one sec

the Emergency Appropriation Act,
which was not passed until IA days
later.
This week the expert found a tyno-
graphical error in Public Law 696,
substituting probable" for "provable. I"
1t extends certain benefits to creditors
under the bankruptcy laws who file a
petition "in an action to recover a
probable debt"
There's one more serious error on
the experts list, but he won't talk
about 1t until after Congress convenes
and has a chance to correct its mis-
take. In attempting to amend a GRIM

SUFFTCIENCY OF
GRACE
By Rev. c. NJ. Griffith
Methodist Pastor of
Deals Island, Maryland

Among the sweetest words that
man has heard must be placed the
atterance of the Risen Christ to
his faithful Apostle at the time of
his gretest distress, MY grace is
sufficient for you"
It is a happy day when the Spirit
of God bespeaks these words into
the soul of a believer.
And God is speaking them to
you.
But my case is EXCEPTIONAL"
evcIaims Mrs. Littlefaith.
your life is indeed exceptional,
Mrs. Littlefaith. You do seem to
have had more than your share of
trouble, financial loss, sickness and
sorrow, but there can be no excep-
tional cases with Cod"
There can be no cases beyond
the sufficiency of His Grace!
And why is this? Simply be-
cause of the fact that as ones
need arises, the Grace of God for
us will also increase to help us
meet that larger need and the
grace that God gives US will al
ways be sufficient, however great
our need might be!
It is true that God does not give
us grace in advance of our need.
He does not give us grace today to
meet to-morrow's needs. But to-
morrow He will give us grace suf-
fcient for to-morrow's needs.
Read the blessed Promise: "And
God is able to make all grace
abound toward you; that We, al
ways having all sufficiency in all
things, may abound to every good
work"
On soul, distressed and burden
ed, realize this blessed fact and be-
lieve it with all your heart, that
Gods grace is all sufficient to keep
you and to sustain you.
Your exceptional case" viii
