"OH DEAR"
"OH DEARw
BY Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

Are you one of those many semi
sad creatures who go through
every day with the depressing
habit of exclaiming "Oh dear"?
Has it ever occurred to you that
such an expression is, in reality, a
dishonoring Of the mercy, the kind
ness, and the goodness of our
heavenly Father? Is it not an ex-
'pression that indicates a low ebb
of faith and a confession of de-
feat?
On the other hand, you meet
now and then person who is in
the habit of using a different ex-
clamation. Such a person exclaims
at times a wholesome Praise
Godr
Whenever you hear person,
with beaming face, exclaim a
CHEEKY, joyful Praise Cod" you
feel somehow that it has lifted
you up and strengthened the good
which is in you.
Wnen ye are depressed IN spirit,
we seldom think that there are
around us others who are also un-
der heavy clouds of depression.
When such depressed person
hears your "Oh dearl", do you sup
pose that he feels any uplift, any
frightening of his gloom, any
quickening of his faith?
But suppose in a time of depres-
sion of spirit, some person should
hear you, out Of heart of graft
tude, exclaim hearty and soulful
Praise Godr Would there not
come upon his face a frightening
of the countenance, up his lips a
smile of renewed hopefulness, and
into his eyes a relighting of the
CLEAN of faith?
A good honest utterance of a
Praise Cod, even to ones own
self, is like bursting forth of the
joyful sun through the storm
clouds. It is like a drink of de-
licious cool water to thirsty
throat. It is like a gripping hand
shake with God Himself!
Why not turn your ''Oh dear,"
into a Praise God"?

Origin Of June Marriage
Custom Still q Mystery

EOR the past two thousand
l. years, June has been the tradi-
ional month for marriages.
In an effort 10 discover the rea-
son for this preference, Gretta
Palmer, Good Housekeeping
writer, roamed the reference libra
ries for story on it. The results
appear in the May issue Of the mag
azine. She could find no basic rea-
son for the choice but she did find
other interesting customs. For
instance:
"The habit of pelting departing
couples with old shoes also has a
venerable history. The Anglo
Saxons had a pretty custom by
which the father of the bride trans
ferred custody of her person to the
groom by handing him one of her
shoes as a token. In order that she
should take notice of the exchange,
1T was customary to rap her smart
ly on the side of the head with
the shoe. This is no longer done

NATIONAL DEFENSE - Th e
Capitol is agog over the national
defense program as outlined by the
President, and the Senate already
has made additions to the pending
Army and Navy appropriation bills
for 1941, the total for both amount
ing to 100000, 900. There is con-
siderable confusion about the plane
building program, and aircraft
manufacturers who met here re-
Gently departed without ascertain
ing just what the administration
desired. The House is expected to
give immediate approval to all de-
fense plans, and only mechanical
needs and production can retard
consummation of preparedness.
Official circles here We're shocked
to learn of the absolute dictator
ship set up in Britain with con
scription of labor and industry.
Emergencies in our country obvi-
ously would result in a blackout
of civil rights also, indicating that
nations, before preserving "democ-
racy," must become totalitarian in
their economy.
POLITICAL MANEUVERS -
Outside Of Washington, the people
may have the misapprehension
that politics are being adjourned in
this emergency, and that the Pres
ident is appealing for coalition
support. This is what is being dish
ed up for local consumption, but
never in the past eight years have
there been more under-currents
and political intrigue that at pres
ent. To illustrate this are the re-
marks of Sam Rayburn, majority
leader, in the House on May %
during consideration of the relief
bill. Rayburn was discussing an
item of S5OO,O00 for the office of
government reports and asked all
Democrats to support it. He then
referred to the emergency because
of the war, chiding the minority
members that their hopes of vic
tory were dimming. He became
exuberant over third-term possibil-
tiles and said that instead of 46
states carried by the Democrats in
1886, they expected to carry all 4S
states in this years election. The
majority leader thus disclosed ad-
ministration plans to capitalize on
the war hysteria through political
manipulation.

dedicated the Nation to defense of
its liberties in a colorful ceremony
in the Capitol rotunda on Wednes-
day of last week at the unveiling
of Howard Chandler Christy's $780,
900 painting of the signing of the
Constitution. Christy's canvas
shows the SO signers of the Con-
stitution in Independence Hall in
Philadelphia on September IL,
1877. The life-size figures of Wash
ington, Franklin, and Hamilton
dominate the Georgian Hall, while
Richard Dobbs Spaight, of North
Carolina, signs the document. Del
awarians will be interested to
know that the five signers from
our State shown in the painting
are George Read, Richard Bassett,
Cunning Bedford, Jr., Jacob Broom
and John Dickinson. According to
the architect of the Capitol, David
Lynn, the painting will remain in
the rotunda until permanent To-
cation is selected.
REORGANIZATION Pres
ident, on May %, submitted his
fifth reorganization proposal to
Congress which will transfer su-
pervisory control of the Immigra-
tion and Naturalization service
from the Department of Labor to
the Department of Justice. The i'm
migration service deals with the
supervision of aliens, and foreign
ers interested in becoming natural
lied. The bureau employs 1000 in
spectors and more than 800 patrol
men on the United States borders.

The Department of Justice has
been criticized recently by Repre-
sentatives Dies and Mason, mem
bers of the committee investigat-
ing un-American activities, be-
cause of the fifth column" as

before the committee have testi-
fed that far-reaching espionage is
at work to secure military and in
dustrial secrets here for foreign
governments. Failure of the De
partment of Justice to prosecute
these under-cover agents was de-
plored and criticized by members
of the Dies committee. It is ap-
parent that the administration
must concentrate on this problem
before it destructively undermines
our national defense.
