for the nine weeks period ending
July Is, as compared with the pre-
food stamp program period. Stores
in the lower income bracket re-
ported sales Of eggs up 28 per cent,
flour purchases up 50 per cent and
sales of prunes 46 per cent higher
for the first four week period Of the
food stamp sales, as compared with
the like period before the plan went
into effect In Rochester.
In stores catering to higher income
groups and where little or no food
stamps were sold, total sales showed
no appreciable change during the
first four weeks Of tho plan, as COM
pared to the four weeks preceding
the initial sales Of orange stamps.
Buy Food. Not Liquor.
Mr.. McAuliffe said that the food
stamp plan further stimulated food
purchases by encouraging welfare
recipients to spend their money for
food stamps rather than divert part
Of IL for liquor or other luxuries.
Neither the orange nor blue stamps
may be used for the purchase Of
liquor or tobacco.
Typical reaction Of the welfare
clients toward the food-stamp plan
is expressed by Samuel Gallo, un-
employed carpenter on relief for
the past year:
ME and my wife like the food
stamp plan fine. We got three
young kids. Before, we didn't eat
much outside Of potatoes, spaghetti,
bread, with darned little butter,
and anything else that was cheap.
Now we get butter, eggs and even
fruit for the kids, something we
couldn't buy before If we wanted to
eat every day"
The success Of the fooc stamp
plan in Rochester and In three other
cities will result in the program
being extended to other cities In
the near future, 1t is indicated:

RADIANT LIVING
OUR DEFINITE TASK
BY Rev. C. NJ. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor Of
Deals Island, Md.

1t was at that early morning hour.
] Out of the mists that hung along the
shores of Galilee, the risen Christ
appeared to the discouraged fisher
men coming in from an all-night
fishing trip. When they recognized
Him and hastened ashore to His side,
He invited them to partake of an
appetizing breakfast which He had
personally prepared for them.
They had been on the lake all
night but had caught nothing. But
now, sitting around that early morn
ing campfire in conversation with
the risen Christ, they came to realize
that they were not TO fish in that
little old lake any longer. The
Christ had called them to a much
larger mission. They were to go
forth into the world to catch men.
At the words of the Master, Fol
low me-" Peter had risen from the
circle and had walked with Christ
away from the group. How long he
had thus walked he did not know,
but suddenly he became aware that
he was walking alone. He turned
about. thinking the Christ was be-
hind him. But the Christ was no.
where to be seen. He had vanished
as suddenly as He had appeared.
For a moment he stood startled.
The world again seemed suddenly
empty. Then he began to retrace his
steps toward the disciples.
'And what did Christ mean when
He said. Follow Met" he asked him
self. "Ah, have it! am to follow
Him as He leads me all through life.
even though l may not see Him! All
else but following Christ is nothing /
to me. Christ is all. all. ALL"
As with Peter. so it is with us.
Life's greatest privilege is TO follow
the Christ wheresOever He may
lead!

conceived this event though 700
years ahead as fact, and hence he
used the present tense. The names
applied to the promised Messia h
were verified in the life of Christ on
earth. And yet language fails to
perfectly describe Christ because he
is SO wonderful
V. z. ''Of the increase of his gov
ernment and peace there shall be no
upon his kingdom, to order it, and
to establish it, and to establish it
with judgment and with justice
from henceforth forever. The zeal
of the Lord Of Hosts will perform
this" The question arises, will
there ever be a continuous period
of peace on earth Our Christian
faith bids us believe it. There will
have to come some very great read
justments in human and national
relationships, but Jesus Christ pro-
duces just such changes; we must
think in terms of many centuries;
two thousand years. 1t is general
ly conceded the common people of
the world do not want war, and the
next step is to let the common peo-
pie speak and speak they will soon
er or later 1t is our Christian duty
to hold high Christian ideals and
see that as far as we have any in
fluence, they are put into practice.
VS.. 1, 2. "And there shall come
forth a rod Of the stem of Jesse,
and branch shall grow out of the
roots. And the spirit of the Lord
shall rest upon him. the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of counsel and of might, the
spirit of knowledgs and of the fear
of the Lord" Again the prophet
foretells Christ's birth; he believed
in the coming Lord with all his
might. The trouble with so many
believers is that they do not believe
hard enough. We should never be
discouraged when good projects
seem to fail, for if there is any vir-
tue in them, shoots will grow up
and great accomplishment will fol-
low God works with remnants; he
can take what looks like failure
and make it succeed.
VS.. 3.-5. In these verses are
described the character qualities of
Christ SO perfectly that We are con-
vinced that Isaiah was inspired
when he uttered them We rejoice
that our Lord is so perfect, so won
derful, so divine that walking with
him we may be assured of some OF
these qualities which he promises to
his children wisdom, understanding,
good judgment and righteousness.
In these virtues we are to grow day
by day as we walk with him. Christ
when on earth fulfilled this proph-
ecy in his life and deeds; he fulfills
them today through his children,
he wants a chance to use us as his
which we are il true
children of God.
