ATTITUDES TOWARD SIM,

'ATTITUDES TOWARD SIN,
1t is destructive cook that DESTROYS
the whole peach because of a speck or
a worm that is lodged in some corner.
The thrifty cook protects or preserves
the peach by taking out the speck and
making use of the better part of the
peach
This is the attitude that Christ
takes toward sin, not the destroying
OF the whole personality because of a
little contamination but the ampu-
tating of that weakness and the build
ing and preserving of those parts that
can be of service.
The mercy of God far excels the
judgment of man; for there is none
too wicked to be saved, none fallen
too low to be lifted, none drifting so
far they can't return, for the hand of
the Lord is not so short that it cannot
save.
There is no sin so sinful that can
ever separate man from God except
the sin OF being contented in sin. You
look to see the purpose of God in vour
life and then analyze the sacrifice
necessary in the fulfllment of these
purposes, become weakened when you
think of your weaknesses, the mis-
takes you have made in life, the sins
that you have committed The grade
seems too steep, the back too weak.
the price too great and with a con-
fused mind you stand between two
opinions.
But the solution of the problem is
solved in that through Him all things
are possible and the belief that He
can save, that He can strengthen
and carry you through will bring
about the fruits of salvation in your
life.
The thief on the cross was saved
because he believed without doubt.
without question, without reason that,
regardless of what crime he had com
mitted, regardless of what sentence
had been imposed on him by law,
there was enough power in the advo-
eating Christ to save even unto the
uttermost
So many of us are too quick to de-
stroy and push down our brother that
has tripped and never give a hand to
stop him from falling or to pick him
up when he falls. This is a destruc-
tive attitude towards sin which Christ
completely condemns in the words.
''Let he that is without sin cast the
first stone"
There are others who take the COM
promising attitude towards sin: They
know right from wrong but when
their loved ones do that which is
wrong they interpret it as right: But

torney General Jackson declared
tonight that las a result of his bril-.
liant handling of Americas foreign
affairs, President Roosevelt today is
feared in some capitals, beloved in
others, respected throughout the
world"
Mr.. Jackson said in a broadcast
address that ''nobody-no thinking

for Willkie unless he knows what his
foreign policy will be. . - What do
they really know about willkie7
They know only what the advertis.

Anyone who intends to vote for
Willkie had better ask himself what
kind of a man Willkie would be on
the cold morning after election;
after the honeymoon of campaign
promises is over" Jackson said.
I'VE know what Roosevelt's
foreign policy is" he continued,
land we know that the country
thoroughly approves it. In our ma
tional self interest we cannot afford
to risk a change. We have had q
vigorous foreign policy for seven
and half years. Any shift at this
time would mean giving up the
valuable momentum that has been
built up in those years. r|

ginia State Selective Service head
quarters tonight passed on to the
local draft boards throughout the
State its first call from the Bird
Army Corps Area office for 122
trainees, who are to report in No
vember on approximately three
weeks notice.
Under the call a first quota of
one man was asked from several
draft boards including Arlington /,
Arlington 2. Alexandria, Culpeper,
Fauquier, Frederick County, VIM
chester, Loudoun and Prince Will
liam.
Fairfax was among the boards
assigned a quota of two men.
Those called from the Northern
Virginia counties will report to
Washington November %.
The call followed soon after an
nouncement by National Selective
headquarters, at Washington. of an
estimated net quota of 9,747 men
from Virginia. Col. Mills F. Neal,
Virginia selective service director
said he had not officially received
this figure by tonight and that he
had made no attempt to break it
down into local quotas.
1t. Col. Philip L. Thurber of the
Sd Corps Area Headquarters de-
ivered the requisition for the 122
trainees here late today. To meet
1t. Col. Neal assigned the first quotas
of one and two men. There was no
call upon some of the draft districts.
Col. Neal said it was probable that
volunteers probably would meet this
first call, making it unnecessary for
boards to call an any other selective
service men other than volunteers.
Some of the boards have reported
having sufficient volunteers reported
to them to take care of a much
larger CALL" he said.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Dorothy

asserted in broadcast tonight that
what Hitler wants is an amateur

idolatrous middle -class following"
What he wants is a position OF
great power in the White House in
the hands of the inside coterie of
big business men who are most
interested in international trade
and especially in trade with the axis
powers" Miss Thompson said.
Her speech over the c. B. S.

ness Mems League for Roosevelt.
What Hitler wants is chaos in
the ranks of labor" she said.
Declaring the address in which
c. I. o. Chieftain John L. Lewis an
nounced his support of Wendell
Willkie was "by all odds the most
important document in this cam
paign," she added:
