Has The World Learned Her Lesson

l could think of no way around mentioning Tie eN
inc conditions of the world When | pick up a paper
when tune in on the radio when stop for friendly
chat am faced with the question of war; war, war on
every turn The word is ugly, is disturbing but worse
than that when we that the word has gone INTO &C
ton it puts certain nexpeable pit IN our stomacfs
For twenty years the nations have talked peace ana
prepared for war now that its ugly head has raised up
on the European soil every nation has been thrown into
panic of fear and doubt We about us mixed emoohs
confused hearts and minds, fears OF Insecurity lndfef
ence toward human needs, worry, rush of details en-
quilting and making uncertain as to what to 40 next
If We were teachabe creatures, it that the nor
rors of the past Worlds War would have taught lesson
never to be forgotten that should know how
to behave ourselves how to take the Christian solution
for our problems We should know that not able
to Judge whether have passed safely out of danger
Batteshps and fighting planes do not mean peace and
security Man should know now that God only able 10
give that peace which passeth understanding.
This country will only be able to keep her skies clear
of war smoke will only be out of danger and the flag
of peace wave the land by letting God solve the
neutrality act and all other matters pertaining to the
we'll being of her people.

You Afro policy it that you have taken
stitch in time SO often people have failed to listen to
good doctrine and have regretted in tears. Hosptalza

25c per month"; this service to non-members would
probably cost $12500-thus making nine stitches cost

Beauty

Do you desire to be beautiful. There are just few
people who would nosneadly give what they have for
beauty This majority of people have thought OF
beauty being right in their reach Otimes we search
tnd search for some Things and think our Jobs comp-
GATED, when all we have to do is look around us
Beauty, real beauty comes from within and IS ra-
fated lives pass along lifes highway Many
life has been destroyed because too much emphasis was
placed upon outside lfauty We make serious mistakes
when we fail to make Df characters beautiful Instead of
20 much time and money put into aids for the outer part
I've should invest more time in kindness, friendiness
moral strength truhfulness honesty and love- in eff
fort to make inner part beautiful Inward beauty
tever fades away and always brings happiness.
