Radiant Living
RADIANT IN HIS
PRESENCE
By Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. E. Church
Ridgely, Md.

1t was the evening of that new
er-to-be-forgotten day. Behind
locked doors and barred windows
the fearful disciples had gathered
for mutual protection, for prayer,
and to eat together their common
meal.
If during that day a dismal rain
had been constantly falling, it
would not have been any more
gloomy for those disciples whose
hearts had been bowed down by
the death of Jesus.
1t was the midnight of their ex-
perience!
Then came Jesus!
Yes, there He stood, right in
their midst The disciples were
awed into cold statuary. With
mouths agap they stared at Him,
their hearts going like trip ham
mers. Jesus, whom they had SO
tenderly lain in the tomb, stood be-
fore them. And He was saying,
Peace be unto you!"
He had come that they might
again hear His voice, that they
might, if need be, thrust their
hands into the wound in His side.
He had come to reveal His living
self and thus to save them from
despair.
This is why we live radiantly.
We are conscious of the living
Christ who stands in our midst.
He who could bespeak the tur-
bulent sea, tossed by the winters
gale, into a calm, can speak your
worries into trust, your fear into
faith, your despair into trust, your
midnight into MONDAY.
Yes, He is standing in your
midst, and His message to you, O
distracted one, is Peace"

of Cherbourg. Services were held in
Paris churches and at all war ceme-

Mr.. Bullitt and Premier Daladier
spoke yesterday in dedication of q
new American Legion cemetery at
Neuilly, suburb of Paris, start
ing the week-long commemoration
Let us not forget that there are
times when men must take up arms
to save all that Is worthy in human
life and that if arms break peace
they also defend it," Mr.. Bullitt
said.
France Strives for Peace.
M. Daladier said he recognized
the right OF American women who
lost sons and husbands in the
World War ito ask us what we have
made out of so much suffering and
SO many sacrifices.
France has not been an unworthy
guardian of this sublime heri-
tage. For 20 years she has conse-
Grated all her efforts to peace
among men. '"s
But like all free nations she
could not allow to be endangered
that which seems to her to be more
precious than life itself. - Any at
tempt at hegemony or domination
would find her determined to defend
her liberty and the liberty of the
world. ="
