strong, wholesome characters, living

The point is that the spirit -dlled

woman who possesses this power, need
not be anxious about the way that il
will be shown-this will take care Of
itself. All they are required to do i:
to tackle the job just ahead, no matter
what it may be, and they will soon find
their way to the thing they can do best
And they will be approved and re-

Many of us who are naturally SYM
patretic toward what is known as IRE
hgion" feel out of place among some
of our friends who believe that it can
be exposed only through emotional
action. If you want to find out how
Spirituality" sometimes shows itself
of the Bible characters, who, we are
told, were controlled by the spirit of
God". Isl MN
We are told that back in the days
when the Israelites were wandering a.
bout in the wilderness, God commanded
them to make, among other things, a
tabernacle and the furniture to be used
therein And a man by the name Of
Bezaleel was selected for this task. The
Bible says that he was specially filled
Simply that he might become a good
mechanic-in order that he might make
a first rate job of that tabernacle
There are men and women today who
are revealing their Spiritual power by
becoming high grade workers.
There, when the Israelites were having
their troubles with the Philistines and
some other nations they needed some
generals How were these fighting
men equipped? We are told that 'the
spirit of the Lord" came upon them
and so Joshua and Othniel and Gideon
and several other leaders were selected
There was Samson-and everybody
knows what he is noted for. THE
spirit of the Lord came nightly upon
him., and did he become a great ex-
horter or preacher? No-he was given
wonderful physical strength, so that he
became a powerful opponent of Israel's
enemies.
The spirit of God came upon others,
and they became kings-like Saul and
David; some became prophets-like Eli
jah and Azariah and Isaiah and ZEE
kiel and Daniel. But others became ,
leaders in various fields which had tc

place jobs. After you've gone through
the entire list you are left with the

this parable might be.
TO- And he said. Unto you it is given

If God: but to the rest in parallels;
that seeing they may not see. and hear

ievil, and taketh away the word from
their heart that they ma ynot believe

13 And those on the rock are they
who when they have heard, receive the
word with joy; and these have no root
who for a while believe and in time
of temptation fall away.
IA. And that which fell among the
thons these are they that have heard
and as they go on. their way they are
checked with cares and riches and
pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit

Thanksgiving Greed

In religion Thanksgiving is just as
important as Faith. With Thanks
giving-let your requests be made known
to God" the apostle, wrote. We ask
and receive not, because we have fail
ed to thank God for what He has al
ready given. We are like careless
children who grab what is offered them
without saying Thank you"
If you were to study the Bible in
connection with the subject of prayer
you would find that thanksgiving is
one of the essentials of receiving This
is not because God wishes to humiliate
us but because He has chosen to de-
velop our characters by being grateful.
Ingratitude is always a sign of small
ness or immaturity of character, really
a big man is always ready to aclnow-
ledg his indebtedness to the humblest
person who may assist him To De
thankful, therefore, is, an indication
Of supremacy rather than one of in
feriority,

There's a difference between
beauty and just good looks. Most
women are interested in their ap-
pearance; they are clean, fairly well
groomed and withal attractive. But,
so many of us neglect those little
tricks which tell Of real daintiness
and fastidiousness. Read over the
list of questions and score yourself
for perfection.
Rate yourself ten points for each
question you answer "Yes"- If you
total 80 to 100, then you are one in
a million women who are thorough
In their beauty endeavors; If you
register 80 to 90, then you are fair !;
If you rate 70 to so, you had better
make more effort lest your over
sights catch up on you disastrously I;
If your score is less than 20, beware
1. Are your elbows soft and
smooth?
2. Do you cleanse and cream
them regularly to avoid discolora-
tion and roughness2
8. Is the cuticle of all fingers
well-trimmed. or do hangnails and
overgrown cuticle mar the beauty Of
your hands?
4. Do you keep your nail polish
In good order, or do you let Clipped
and scratched polish remain on your
balls?
5. Do you battle your throat as
often as your face In order to keep
1t young-looking and lovely; do you
use good cream on 1t every time
you apply 1t to your face?
g. Do you alter your shade of
makeup to conform to the color of
your costume, or do you just use
the same kind all year round?

Kansas Editor Calls Upon Economic, Moral Forces

EMPORIA. Kan, May 20-Pub- fisher William Allen White called upon the United States economic and moral forces to support the Allies now.
 White telegraphed his plea to several hundred leaders through out the Nation. He suggested cre- ation of committee of prominent and influential Americans to back his idea and carry it to the Am- erican people White said that the nations of Western Europe are now struggling in a battle for what he labeled the civilized way of life.'
 Added the Kansas publisher: Tn foreign affairs we must present an unbroken, partisan front to the world. It is for us to show the people of England, of France, of Belgium and Scandinavia that the richest country on earth is not too blind or too proud to help those who are fighting tyranny abroad. If they fail we shall immediately have to prepare to face their con- querors alone

 Gen. Marshall said the Govern ment will probably provide armor- ies and other equipment for Ma tional Guard Units probably to be established.
 Senator Thomas asked whether the Eskimo, Aleuts and Indians would make good soldiers
 Gen. Marshall said he expected a much better response fro m citizens in Alaska than would he expect in this country, with almost every bodied man from 18 to 45 joining the guard.
 Regarding bases being built by Russia in Siberia, Gen. Marshall said: Tt appears to me, and l am not an alarmist, that ordinary pre- cautions make it essential at this time that we immediately start work on an Army field at Anchor age, Alaska"
 The big appropriation requested is for the Anchorage base.

Convincing sovereigns of the folly of wars may perhaps be one effect of it; since it will be impracticable for the most potent of them to guard his dominions. Five thousand balloons, capable of raising two men each, could not cost more than five ships of the line; and where is the prince who can af- ford so to cover his country with troops for it's defense, as that 10,- 900 men descending from the clouds might not in many places do an infinite deal of mischief, before a force could be brought together to repel them?"

 peal to Britons

LONDON. May 20.-Bombers and fighting planes of the Royal Air Force roamed the skies from Ham, burg in northeastern Germany to Sedan just across the French from tier, during the weekend blowing up German oil tanks and attacking troops and lines of communication to relieve pressure on the Allied armies.
 A bulletin issued by the Air Min istry shortly after daybreak today said that dawn attacks were made on enemy troops and focal points in Northern France and that during the night enemy road and railway functions in Belgium were heavily bombed.
 At the same time Lord Beaver brook, new Minister of Aircraft pro- duction. declared Britain must have more airplanes at her command. He appealed to men who know how to assemble aircraft to report to the nearest factories at once.
 In broadcast address, Prime Minister Churchill again warned the Empire that Allied mastery can only be regained by furious and unrelenting assault on the Nazis. He expressed confidence the stabiliza- tion of the Western Front will be achieved, but, added solemnly, "af- ter this battle in France, should Germany be victorious, there will come the battle for our islands. They are all that Great Britain has and all that Great Britain means. That will be the struggle!"
