RADIANT LIVING
VICTORY LIES in PRAYER
BY Rev. C. NJ. Grifreth
Pastor Ridgely M. e. Church
Ridgely, Nd.

While on their pilgrimage to the
Promised Land the Israelites were
attacked by the Amalekites. This
was the first time that they met an
armed resistance. Nor were they
equipped to fight against the over
whelming odds that now faced them.
Driven by the desperation of the
situation, Moses turned to God in
prayer. He climbed to the top of a
nearby hill where he could be seen
Ey all who were upon the field of bat
tie. Standing in full view of all he
held both hands high above his head
in a gesture of prayer
AS long as Moses held his hands
upward toward heaven the battle
kept going in favor of the Hebrews,
but as soon as he lowered his hands
the battle began to go against them.
1t was then that Moses and the
Hebrews made this important discov-
cry; namely, that the secret of vic
tory lies in continued prayer.
Could it be possible that the reason
why We are not accomplishing the
things that We have aimed to do is
because We have omitted prayer?
Could it be possible that the battle
is going against us because there has
been a letting down on our part of
the hands of prayer?
Perhaps we have been trying TO ac-
cOmplish a maximum of work ON a
minimum of prayer.
There is something mysterious
about prayer. II has a definite place
in life that nothing else can fill. |
When prayer is lacking there is
of vital necessity that is
and its very absence results I
N defeat when otherwise there would /
De a victory.
Keep your hand of prayer held /
high! There is a power above which .
prayer touches. In the uplifted hand
# prayer lies the secret of victory.

STRICTLY POLITICAL

more, there is an awful howl and the
whole State is complaining. Who pro.

Yes, the news is out. The Demo
cratic harmony dinner at Rehoboth
Beach was the Introduction to, the
candidacy in 1910 of James Tunnell,
the Sussex county leader of the Tun-
nell-Collison faction. for United
States Senator Tunnell's friends who
were out in force at the dinner,
claim he has been in the forefront of
the political wars for many years
and it is about time he was put on
the ticket. He has been National
Committeeman for a number of
years, coming upward from a position
as County Chairman and then State
Chairman and then to National Com
mitteeman At the dinner he served
notice in his public speech, that ii
the rest of the State Democrats from
New Castle and Kent would leave
Sussex alone he would soon iron out
the difficulties there and put Ralph
Baker and his friends back where
they belonged. Tunnel for United
States Senator, the nominee for Gov
ernor to come from New Castle and
with the present United States Sen
ator coming from Kent county, ii
looks as if Tunnel has the prize in
his hand, especially if New Castle
Democrats mind their own business,
as he advises.
Republican Senator John G. Town
send, Jr, certainly knows his way
around among the voters. He was
chosen out of a large number 10 make
the chief speech at the State Plum
hers Convention in RehOboth Beach |
last week He made a mighty good /
one, we are told. He touched on the /
waste of Government money to pay |
some 95 million dollars premium for ,
silver, Just that mucA more than il I
was worth He ended his speech by /
asking his listeners, with debt On /
the Nations shoulders running into I
billions of dollars if they wanted TO |
borrow three billions more for the
Lend and Spend program of the /
Democratic Administration, and .
brought his speech to a climax when .
he asked the question, didn't answer /
it. but just sat down. Those who
haven't heard "Jawn" for some time
will be surprised at the rousing
speech he can make. Delaware can
we'll be proud of him.
The Democrats are trying TO arouse
the voters with the raise in taxes
that the Levy Courts in the State are
putting on the taXables. There is
just this much to the argument.
Democrats have increased the spend
ing to an. enormous amount and we
might just as well face that fact.
Isn't it better to meet those expenses
with a slight raise in taxes than to
continue TO go into the hole" each
year? 1t is a funny thing about how
the people think. When former Gov
ernor Buck decreased the taxes
throughout the State and by legis
lation passed through his endeavors,
set the rate over which the Levy
Courts could not raise the taxes and |

as high as 81 a hundred down to Soc |

ceived no praise. Now just as soon as
a suggestion is made that because

SUBMARINE

Reports of a submarine off the coast of Alaska bring the uncomfortably close to home. Such reports would be worthy of so much attention or worry if they did not from high quarters which have every facility for ascertaining and substantiat- ing the truth When President Roosevelt announces at his press conference in Washington that reliable reports place a submarine American waters off the Alaska coast it is time to worry.
 If there is submarine in the neghborhood re- ported, it has remained marveously quiet. A Metla- day studying it carefully through six-power field glasses from distance of about three quarters of a mile which is not very far on the water The submarine headed south in Clarence Strait, be- tween Gravina and Prince of Wales Island and only few miles from Ketchikan. Probably it was hurry ing back to open water after a brief scouting trip from Dixon Entrance
 Alaskan waters especially those of the Inside Passage, would be about as dangerous place as any in the world for submarine Such craft are slow top of the water and much slower when submerged Since its presence is known. the submarines chance of successfully sinking a ship and getting away is practically nil The pilot of the sub, whatever its nationality, cannot be familiar with Alaska waters He is playing dangerous game.
 There is always the chance that the people who reported the submarine were honestly mistaken A number of things more common to Alaska waters than submarines whale a drift log, a submerged fishing boat-might have looked great deal like a submarine to anxious eyes.
 We are inclined not to give too much credence to the report, though stranger things than this happen every day in wartime.
 Who'll be next to the sub?

His Czech Base

 German invaders in Cracow have placed guard of honor at the tomb of Marshal Pilsudsk The idea seems to be that the only good Pole is dead Pole Tears roll down the cheeks of the German radio an nouncers they bewail the fact that Psudski Is moi alive today to tell the people of Poland how good friend they have in Hitler But if there is anything be deduced from the Hitler record of the last few years it is the certainty that if Psudski were alive today he would be leading the armies of Poland against the German invaders.
 The world has wondered why Hitler after his Sudeten victory at Munich, should have invited the indignation the hatred and the fears of the nations by his wanton attack on Czechoslovaka. Why could he not be satisfied with economic control, with the peaceful penetration that could have stopped?
 One answer now written plain the face of events is that Hitler planning the attack on Pc land when he seized Czechosovakia Without the Czech Sovak frontier he could have leaped at Poland from the north and west only; with the Czech base he could march from the south, too. When one is planning a lightning war every little bit helps even if that bit belongs to somebody else.
