RADIANT LIVING
The Secret Of COntentment
BY Rev. c. NJ. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor OF
Deals Island, Md.

The psychologists tell us. that II
you can create in a person a desire
to possess something, such a one
will become restless until he ac-
quires that possession.
1t is upon this principle that mer-
chandise is displayed in shop win
dows. Candy is so arranged in the
window that it fairly makes your
mouth water. Rich dress material
and charming hats are so displayed
as to make certain women miserable
until they purchase them.
Business therefore prospers by
creating desire.
But the spiritual Christian pros
pers as his desires become fewer.
Having nothing in common with the
pomp, pride and vain-glory of the
world, his desires are reduced to the
minimum. Yet his cortentment is
increased in proportion.
There can be but one way in
which all desires becomes satisfied
and that is when they are all merg-
ed into one master-desire. and that
one master-desire is to be "hid in
God"
The Psalmist exclaims: "As the
heart panteth after the water brooks.
so panteth my soul after thee, o
God" When our greatest desire is
such a thirst for God. the fulfillment
Of other desires matters little. This
Is because one merges his own will
lnreservedly into whatever Gods
will for him may be.
"To be or not to be" matters lit
lie with such a surrendered one.
either is satisfactory to the soul
ully yielded to Gods will.
Perfect contentment is based on
perfect abandonment of all to the
rill of God.

SUBPOENAFOUCHT
BY SILVER SHIRTS
Legion Files Suit to Enjoin
La Toilette Committee
From Record Search.

The Silver Shirt Legion Of America,
Inc. which describes itself as a
Christian, patriotic, anti-Communst
organization, filed suit in District
Court today to enjoin the La Toilette
Civil Liberties Committee of the Sen
ate from enforcing a subpoena for
its membership rules and records.
The lengthy and strongly worded
suit charged the committee with
pro-Communist sentiments and said
it apparently was attempting to de-
stroy patriotic organizations working
to uphold constitutional government.
The bill of complaint was signed
by William Dudley Pelley of Ashe-
vile. N. c., president-commander OF
the organization. and Spencer j.
Warwick, Youngstown, Ohio. chief
ranger" of the group in that State.
The Senate subpoena. issued January
6, called on Mr.. Warwick to appear
before the committee February with
the legion's records.
The subpoena was described as q
fishing expedition" and a violation
of the legion's right of privacy, as
guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
The efficacy of the organization "in
the face of an increasing communistic
menace" depends upon the privacy OF
its membership rolls and Of Its list OF
financial contributors.
Failure to maintain the privacy Of
its records, the legion said. might sub
ject its members to intimidation and
violence by unionists and communistic
elements.
The organization which said it has
5000 members, asserted it would be
forced to refuse compliance with the
subpoena unless the court tntervenes
and probably would be held in con-
tempt and indicted.
Among the documents called for by
the committee were correspondence
between members of the legion and the
American Iron & Steel Institute. the
Republic Steel Corp. the Youngstown
Sheet g. Tube Co., and the Inland
Steel Co.
The suit was filed through Attorney
Harrison F. Mcconnell.
