FLAWS I'm THE LAWS

Southern states continue their objec-
tions to standardized wages and hours, be-
cause those States produce more cheaply
than the North-on account of climatic
advantages.
There are many complaints, mostly
from the South, about inequalities of rail-
read rates. The claim is that some sec
tions of the country can be served by the
railroads cheaper than other parts.
These are visible flaws in the above
laws There is growing demand in favor
or patching-up the punctures and blow
outs, in order that collective bargaining
between employers and unions may be-
come workable.
The National Labor Relations Adj
ministration has shown very unreason-
able attitude toward industries and its en-
ployers and employees. Nevertheless, moth
ing more than plain commonsense changes
are needed in that Administration to make
the law valuable agency of the Govern
ment
Undoubtedly some of the members OF
the Labor Board should be relieved from
office, and replaced by able and fair
minded men who would hold the Board
down to its practical and obvious. duties
which are mostly of judicial nature.
At present the Board is it's own de-
tective, its own investigator-and very
prejudiced one-sided organization.
The Wage-Hour Act is the most re-
cent piece of legislation that has to do
with matters referred to in this summary
of conditions. Already it has its second
Administrator. Some amendments are
needed to make the Wage-Hour law more
effective and useful.

Following this, while making
another crossing over the Sea of
Galilee, a sudden storm came up
while Jesus was resting. The dis
ciples became very fearful lest
they all be drowned and, finally
awoke him. Rebuking them for
their lack of faith in the care of
God, Jesus showed his authority
over the forces of nature-at his
word the wind calmed and the
waters became still-another evil
dence of the miraculous power of
/ the Son of God.
As our Golden Text says, "Je-
sus of Nazareth. went about
doing good. What can we do? F.
w. Farrar answers: I'VE cannot
all do as Christ did in the brief
years of his ministry-'go about
doing good'-but we can all live
as he lived for the first thirty
years of quiet, holy, strenuous
duty, deliberately striving each
day to abstain from evil, in order,
as far as in us lies, in his name,
and for his sake, to assuage the
sorrows Cf the world.

ZONING BOARD ORGANIZED

There is cause for community salts
faction in the fact that Mayor Willard M.
Albury made appointment of a zoning
board one of his official acts in his second
term, that city council confirmed the ap-
pointments without delay and that the
board members met promptly and organ
lied. That is the kind of action demanded
by this city in all matters affecting the
community welfare.
The zoning board now must proceed
to do all over again what was done sew
eral months ago-namely, consider pro-
per zoning ordinance to make the zoning
regulations effective. City council passed
zoring ordinance before the state
legislature passed an act enabling such ac-
ton. Later it was found the zoning law
could not become effective until after the
November election.
Zoning board members plan a series
of hearings to determine the attitude of
our citizens toward the provisions of the
zoning law AS the ordinance now stands,
it sets up zones in which manufacturing
activities may be carried on in the future,
where commercial business is permissible
and where only residences may be built.
Then, too, the measure provides property
owners protection against erection of OBJ
jectionable structures near their homes. In
short, the law would restrict certain types
of construction to certain districts, without
affecting present buildings, for the act
cannot be retroactive.
After the zoning board completes it's
work, it will submit the ordinance to city
council for consideration. Council may
call further hearings to determine finally
whether the provisions of the measure are
understood and approved by the public.
Then council may adopt the ordinance.
This will all take from six weeks to two
months.
There is need for prompt action by
the zoning board and city council. A con-
siderable volume of residential construc-
tion is being held up pending adoption of
the ordinance, for the prospective build
ers want to be sure their properties will be
protected against depreciation due to
nearby Objectionable construction. The
new work that will go forward after the
ordinance is law will give employment to
many of our idle citizens and stimulate
trade and business in many directions. All
in all, the zoning ordinance is a required
step toward prosperity.

GEKELER CHALLENGES

The two sermon series begun
last Sunday are continued by DIR.
John c. Gekeler at the First

At the morning service, "Jesus
Asks the Question: Do You Want
To Be Well?" Among other
things, DR.. Gekeler will say,
stop poisoning the body by
wrong foods, by creating poisons
through uncontrolled emotions.
Don't be morbid.
In the evening sermon, based
on E. Tallmadage Roots book,
""The Bible Economy of Plenty,
the problem of poverty will be
discussed. Men are of superior
value to things, the pastor says.
"Society's first care must be the
weak and poor, to quote Rev.
Gekeler. The ultimate justifica-
ton of the right of property is
that it is needed for the develop
ment and expression of person
atty.
The ideal sought by Mosaic
legislation contemplates status
where each has sufficient that he
may contribute to those overtak-
en- by misfortune and that he
carry his own share of the pub
lie burden, the pastor explains.
In these two sermons DR..
Gckeler challenges his hearers
to think.

Some of the old crusading spirit in
newspapers is lacking and experienced
editors over the country think it is just as
well. Those who believe themselves
anointed and with mandate from the

pass into oblivion. There was such paper
in Miami but vanished into ethereal space
before its emulous mission was performed.

Lesson Text: Matthew 8:14-27


We have Just completed a Sc
ries of three lessons based on the
Sermon on the Mount, in which
three chapters of his gospel, Mat
thew gives the essence of the
wonderful teachings of Jesus.
Matthew follows the records of
these spoken words of Jesus by
giving us in two chapters ten ex-
amples of the miraculous powers
exercised by Jesus, although these
miracles are not necessarily set
down in their natural chronology
cal order of occurrence.
Taken together, after reading
the Sermon which precedes them,
these examples of divine love
seeking to relieve the sufferings
of humanity reveal the eternal
hostility of God to any and all
forces in life which tend to de-
grade, afflict or oppress man.
kind.
These miracles cover a wide
range of power, but most of them
contain some popularity in the
attending circumstances which
make them especially notewor-
thy. Some of them are among
the best attested facts in the New
Testament and have never been
contradicted by any serious stu
dent.
The first of these tells of Ro-
man centurion, brave, humble
and reverant, who approaches
Jesus on behalf of an ill servant,
slave, which was an unselfish
mission, Indicating the centurion's
sympathetic kindness and his
faith in the healing powers of
Jesus. He did not even ask Je-
.sus to go to his house but ex-
pressed confidence that he could
heal his servant at a distance.
Jesus did so and told the un-
named Roman soldier that he had
not found so great faith any
where in Israel.
Another miracle of healing oc-
CURED when after a service in
the synagogue on the Sabbath
day, Jesus went to the home of
his disciple, Peter. and, on enter
ing, found Peters mother-in-
law i'll with fever. Compassion
ate as he always was for the
sick. Jesus at once went in to
her and, taking her by the
hand, raised her up from her
sickbed. The fever left her and
she was able to take her accus-
toned place in the home and
ministered unto them. 4
News of this healing ministry
quickly spread abroad through
out all the land and by evening
many who were possessed of
devils came and he cast out the
devils; many who were sick came
or were brought to him and he
healed them, thus fulfilling the
prophecy of Isaiah, who declar-
ed, Himself took our infirmi-
ties and bare our diseases.
Beset by the eager crowds and
desiring some privacy with his
disciples, Jesus commanded that
they get boat and row across
the Sea of Galilee. There they
were met by a scribe, who de-
clared that he was willing to fol-
low Jesus "whithersoever thou
goest'. Looking beneath this
declaration, Jesus probably knew
that this man could not meet the
.hardships which life as his dis
ciple would demand, and so ad-
vised the scribe to consider Sc
riously the cost of being a fol-
lower of his, reminding him that
he and his disciples had foregone
the comforts of this life to enjoy
the more abundant joys of the
future life. This warning had a
