Having discussed the first two steps in the de-
ve1opment Of q method Of meditation, may 60 on
to the third which may be termed, Resolution. The
resolve to follow out what the and emotions
to be the is the keystone Of real de-
votion. Many many folk pray and mediate very
effectively up this point then vtiae their we'll
meant efforts by failing to will-into-action what
they have considered.
Under this heading we will propose the following
suggestions:
l. At this point the emotions and the wi should
be active. This is not to say that at a
certain moment turns the faucet of affec-
tions. That is too mechanical and unreal.
What happens, though, is that the feelings
naturally enter into the situati fully
and vitality when a sincere and rati onal effort
has been made to face the facts Of the problem
theme.
g. These general rati onal cons derations, dis
cussed last week, warmed by the emotions
should be reduced to the form Of definite
duties. These presented, it were, to
the will for acceptance.
8. Then. the crucial moment: Resolve firmly and
reverent1y, II will undertake to bui Id my
life upon that which I have considered and
which has been clarified in my meditati ons. .
4. Continual vigilance and must be exerted
that the resolutio be not cast aside. Once
resolving is done, living by it is strictly a
matter Of individual integrity.
The Church takes this opportunity to express its
responded graciously to the recent Benefit Play
given for the Organ Fund.
If there any who light have individual oatri-
buttons make to this Fund see Dir. DeJager, Chair
man of the Finance Committee, So L Crescent Road.

Accurate Picture Of German Army In Field

lower and raise the minimum and maximum age limits.
 Theoretically Hitler is the com- mander in chief of the German armies. Actually this part is played by Col.-Gen. Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the high command, who sue. ceeded Marshal Werner Won Blom- berg as chief of the general staff under Hitler.
 It is Keitel who Is personally di- recting operations on both fronts simultaneously, and who is. at the same time, charged with coordinat- ing of the German air force and navy.
 Goering On East Front
 Cfncial German dispatches re. port that Field Marshal Hermann Goering, air force commander and Hitler official heir, has gone to the eastern front to inspect Nazi air units.
 It is known that Hitler has twice visited the eastern front. His sec- ond visit was made in his private airplane which was landed near Lodz to enable him to watch operations of German motorized columns clos- ing in on Warsaw from the south- west-just one day before Polish ar.

In Berlin 1t was announced by the Nazi high command that Polish re- sistance would be broken "by all means" because civilians were resist ing the invader in the undeclared war. That was taken to mean that open cities would be bombed if nec- essary by the Germans in an effort to speed their campaign against the main Polish forces at Warsaw and southward along the Vistuia.
 Germans Make Claims
 The German high command also claimed that Nazi troops had made a sudden forward dash in the ex- treme south, breaking through Polish defenses in the San river sector and sending advance units to the out- skirts of Lwow Gemberg), the Polish Ukraine capital. If such positions are consolidated it would mean that the chief Polish communication lines toward Rumania were cut of.
 The German high command re- ported that its forces were now oper- ating far to the east of Warsaw, as well as on line extending south ward from East Prussia directly east of the Polish capital, but it merely said that all Polish counter-attack had been repulsed in the areas west of Warsaw where radio reports as- serted that the Poles were turning the German flank and threatening to pinch of the extended Nazi lines.
 The Nazis meantime reduced meat rations to one pound e week in the Berlin area, confiscated rubber tires on vehicles not specifically author

Alderman Thomas Bane was to- day given notice of his dismissal as assistant purchasing agent by Con- troller Martin J. Sweeney. The dis- missai is effective Saturday.
 The controller said he had not yet selected c successor to MT. Bane, who received 0 salary of S46.86 weekly. MT. Bane had been e member of the staff in the control- ler's office since early last year, when he was appointed by the late Controller Sherwood L. Rowland.
 Purchasing Agent Bartholomew M. Quilter, named last week by Controller Sweeney, was on duty again. today. He Is the center of political battle, with the Republi- can aldermen seeking to give the mayor rather than the controller the power to name the purchasing agent. MT. Quilter succeeded Charles O. Foster, Republican, who was dis- missed by the controller several weeks ago. The Republicans Monday night passed an aldermanic resolu- ton empowering the mayor to name Q director of purchases, but Demo- cratic alderrien contended that this step yiolatedf the city charter and Mayor Patrick M. Perrieilo is seek ing . ruling from Corporation Counsel Vincent ecuiy.
 There have been several changes in the controllers office since Mir. Sweeney was appointed by Mayor Frank Hayes. First came the reSis- nation of James P. Purcell, city ace cctntaft. This was followed by the dismissal of Alexander Raeburfi, auditor. and William F'cfrari, pay- roll clerk, who were replaced by Frank Doyle and August Rinaldl. Mir. Purcell was replaced by John ]. ciko, of Carteret, N. !. 8
 Next came the dismissal Of Mir. Foster as purchasing agent, with his position remaining vacant till Mon. day, when Mfr. Quiiter began his duties.

Paris, Sept. i3.-(UP)-French military experts believed today that the war had progressed sufficiently to permit them to draw an accur- ate picture of the German army which Hitler has put into the field.
 Their estimate is as follows:
 Hitler has put 2,250,000 men into action. They are incorporated in 47 divisions, making up 13 of the 16 army cosps known to exist under the last German organization plan.
 Germany has perhaps 1000, ,000 on the western front, and in western front bases and intermediate lines, and another 100000 on the Polish front. No Austrian or Czech levies have been sent to either front. All prisoners taken by the French and Poles have been Germans and of all ages, showing that reserve divisions have been thrown into the line with regular army units of youthmul con- scripts.
 Short of Reserves
 Having been deprived of conscrip- ton for IS years after the Ver- sailles treaty, the German general staff Is woefully short of reserves and each man who falls in action can be replaced only with serious difficulty.
