THE QUEST FOR
GOD
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

The greatest quest of man is not
for gold. 1t is not for excitement.
1t is not for pleasure. The great
est quest of man is for God.
You may not agree with me in
this, but tell me why irreligious
men who have massed unlimited
wealth are yet so dissatisfied :?
Tell me why poor men who have
found God in a real way have al
so found deep inner joy.
The quest for God is latent in
every heart. 1t is in your heart.
Have you not felt longing to
recognize God in the fragrance of
a flower, in the beauty of a sunrise,
in the majesty of mountain
Have you not felt a longing to rec
ognize Him in the face of an inno-
cent child or in the wrinkled coun-
tenance of a grandmother, the
veteran of Iife's battles?
Out of that inward hunger for
God rises the prayer: That might
fellowship with HIM"
Not only to know Him, but to
talk with Him! To be conscious

Elemetry Art Class


At the beginning of the year,
Mrs. Kocher, our art teacher, told
US to make a list of things we
would like to make. The articles
we were to decide from are as fol
lows: wood carving, block print
ing, using colored chalk, using
crayons to make posters, weaving,
making belts, suspenders, and
pocket books of wool. Our next
art class we started to work on the
first article we had chosen.
In making our belts, pocket
books, suspenders, and block print
ing, we first tried out our patterns
on paper and then put them on our
cloth. We learned in our art class
how to blend the colors so they
would not be too bright or dull
Some of the girls have now fin
ished their belts and weaving 50
they have now started on clay
work or threading a machine for
weaving.
After our art class we put our
work in back of the art room in
closets so they win be ready for
use next time
Then after we have one article
finished, we put our names on it
and hand it to Mrs. Kocher to be
graded After they are graded,
the teacher hands them back so we

Ever since German machin-
cry and organization knocked
out France in the late spring
of 1910, everybody in America
has become mass production
minded. Our whole defense
program is built on the great
est output in the shortest time.
In the phenomenon of guam
tity output, which is another
way of saying mass produc-
tion," the American automobile
industry showed the way.
And what made mass pro-
duction possible?
Several factors, but most of
all the assembly line. Without
the assembly line quantity out
put in automobiles could never
have been possible. This de-
vice, now used by all automo-
bile manufacturers, airplane
factories, and many other lines
of manufacturing, began with
Henry Ford.
While other early automo-
bile makers were thinking only
of building a few cars for
wealthy people, Henry Ford's
head was filled with the idea
Of giving all the people an
opportunity to ride in automo-
biles. For long time he had
