ny REV c. M. -G8EFFHEM
Psster Methodist Church, Ceciltpn, Md.


Have you ever entered deeply
into the truth that God is your heav-
emily Father?
Oh that we could have Joined the
throng that crowded about the
Christ as He sat there on the green
sloping fields of sunny Galilee and
could have heard Him teaching
those spiritually hungry people this
great fundamental truth!
Recall how He said: IF ye then
being evil, know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much
more shall your Father which is in
heaven give good things to them
that ask Him!"
l am glad that Jesus has revealed
to US this blessed truth of the F,a-
therhood of God because, for those
who are distressed in heart, 1t Is
the starting point from which to
begin to think the way out.
The right solution of every prob
lem in life begins with the correct
conception of God. That correct
conception is this glorious fact that
God is your heavenly Father and
that as a good father, He is doing
His utmost to help you.
Are you one of the many who
have met with bitter disappoint-
ments? Are you one to whom the
future seems dark and forboding?
Are you being swept down the wild
waters of unbelief toward the whirl-
pool of utter despair?
It is to you especially that Jesus
is throwing out this lifeline of truth.
"Oh distressed child" He is call
ing out to you, "the mighty arm of
your heavenly Father is outstretched
toward you to rescue you from your
distress! Reach out your hand OF
faith and grip the sus-
tanning hand of your heavenly Fa-
ther!"
You shall find that His grace is |
sufficient!
Are you longing to have more Tadi-
ant life? Write to Rev. c. NJ. Griheth. |

Even Horse Wore
Makeup In Film

Dogged determination to find a
"woebegone" horse fitting the
description of the one used by
Scarlet O'Hara to escape from
shell-torn Atlanta in Gone with
the Wind" has made a shrewd
horse trader out of Director Vic
tor Fleming. Five animals of the
type once known as 'crowbait"
were given free trips to the stu
dio in horse trucks, as the direc-
tors discarded prosperous looking
for the part. Finally, "Woebe-
gone" was cast. But when the
mare was called for her scene,
some weeks later, it was found
she had been given so much to
eat-due to her being a bread
winner-that her ribs were near
ly gone! Property men took the
mare out, and when they brought
her back she looked more like
her name than ever. Dark hol-
lows had been painted in her
cheeks, and deep furrow seemed
to divide each rib. Another mira
Gle of the movies was credited to
the art of makeup!

Young Men Keynote
Young Mr.. Harold Stassen, Gov
ernor of Minnesota, who has been
picked to make the keynote
speech at the Republican conven-
ton, is expected to outline a
Republican program which tallies
closely with what are supposed
to be Mr.. Dewey's ideas. The
keynote will be that it is time
for the young men to take charge
of the nation.
Among these suggestions which
Mr.. Stassen has under considera-
ton are that the Democrats, un-
der the influence of Mr.. Roose-
welt, are much more likely to get
this country into war than are
the Republicans.
The keynote speech will sound
off on dictatorship and the theory
that the Roosevelt administration
has been leading the nation to a
strong centralized government. 1t
will, of course, put forward the
contention that the Republicans
will make more jobs by setting
business free from hampering
fears and restrictions by the gov
eminent.
One of the places where the
Republican program, SO far as it
has been shaped at all, expects
to come in for criticism is that
it is not planned to denounce ev-
erything the New Deal has at
tempted, but rather the methods
adopted. But a very strong play
will be made on the promise to
uncover and stamp out political
corruption and send a lot of po-
litical crooks to Jail.
