ROADSIDE
SERMONS
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

1t was a delightful morning of a
summer day that I took this am
bulating adventure abroad through
the sunlit countryside.
Walking carelessly along, inhal-
ing the fragrant aroma of the
wayside honeysuckle that had
climbed the fences along the way,
my attention was attracted by a
robin that had settled down a
short distance ahead.
When he spied me he quickly
took off again across the hedge
but not without calling up in my
memory the words of the Master:
Behold the fowls of the air; for
they SOW not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns; yet your
heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are you not much better than
they?
With these words in my mind
swung along until I noticed a
bunch of orange tiger lilies. l
stopped a moment to admire their
form and beauty. Suddenly, it
seemed, they were speaking to me.
They were repeating to me words
that I had heard before: Even
Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of shall
He not much more clothe you, o
ye of little faith ?"
Perhaps a mile further down
the road it was that I saw afar
Smyrna times., 1940-08-15

afield a farmer with a team of
horses patiently cultivatlng long
rows of young corn. Although ne
was a great distance away, yet
there came to my heart the words
of the Parable of the Good Sower
I began to wonder what good
seed 1 had sown, if any, and
whether or not it might yleld a
sufficient fold to feed some hung
ry person during the cold blasts
of the coming winter.
Although they never knew It,
the bird, the flower, and the plod-
ding worker spoke forceable to me
of the infinite love of God and OF
my responsibility to make that
love a reality to my brother man.
Are you longing to have more
radiant life? Write to Rev. G. M.
Griffeth, Cecilton, Md, concerning
your difficulty, enclosing &c

PENDING LEGISLATION

PENDING LEGISLATION - In
the sultry weather of Washington,
Congress is battling with some of
the most momentous problems
ever to face legislative session. and
deliberations comparable to the
weather outside. Conscription,
taxes on war profits, gigantic pre-
paredness plans, aid to the British,
not to mention the throes of a
presidential election, all are involv-
ed in Congressional debate. The
national emergency calls for speed
and in general, Congress is going
forward as rapidly as it can with
patriotic fervor. However, there
is room for basic divergence of
opinion on all these issues and in
these hectic days the Senate and
House present unusual scenes.
CONSCRIPTION - The Senate
Military Affairs Committee has
closed its hearings on the Burke
Wadsworth bill and favorably re-
ported to the Senate by a vote of
13 TO this controversial legisla-
tion. The majority report recon-
mending passage of the bill stated,
The Committee believes the en-
actment of this bill necessary for
the adequate production of the
cherished heritages of nation" /"
The minority report of the three
Senators opposing the bill stated,
voluntary enlistment should be
given thorough trial before any
hitlerized method of peacetime
conscription with its far-reaching
implication of militarism and i'm
perialism is adopted as perman-
ent policy in America. After
thorough and fair trial, if the vol
untary enlistment plan fails in
part or in whole, then before it is
too late the minority will gladly
support CONSUMPTION, but not be-
fore. This legislation will not
have the approval of the Navy De-
partment, in the opinion of naval
officers in New York. The Depart
ment's objections measure are bas-
ed on the one-year enlistment per
iod provided for, naval officers
holding that ID there are not suf-
ficient vessels in the Navy to af-
ford training for SO large a number
of men as would be brought into
the service under the bill and (2)

ence; the realm of unerring, etern-
al, and omnipotent Mind; the at
mosphere of Spirit, where Soul is
supreme:. . There is but one way
to heaven, harmony, and Christ in
divine Science shows us this way,
1t is to know no other reality-to
have no other consciousness of
life-than good, God and His re-
fection, and to rise superior to the
so-called pain and pleasure of the
senses.

try, with the provision that the At
torney General must be assured
that they will not become public
charges. The purpose of the BILL
says the Committee report is to
remove "the existing practical dis
elimination against children of
certain nationalities who cannot
get immigration visas because
their national quotas are full, and
who cannot get visitors visas be-
cause they cannot prove clear
ability to leave the United States
when the present emergency is
over"
Smyrna times., 1940-08-15

to train men for sea service. At
recruiting headquarters it was
said that there are not enough YES
sells at sea nor naval training sta
tions ashore to handle more men
than are now joining up. 1t was
added that there are about ten
candidates for every opening and
the quota for the entire Northeast
District, including the major naval
bases in Boston and Philadelphia,
has already been surpassed, with
about 700 applicants now on the
waiting list for New York alone.
1t was reported by Col. Lloyd B.
Magruder, in charge of recruiting
for New York, New Jersey and
Delaware that a record for single
days enlistment in the Army dur
ing peacetime was established in
the Second Corps Area on Monday,
when 157 men were enrolled. Col
onel Magruder said that 453 men
enlisted during the first five days
of August, a rate which, if main
tanned for the entire month, will
bring the total enlistments for this
month well past all previous peace
time months and may even sur
pass two or three World War
months of voluntary recruiting. In
the face of these facts, it would
seem unreasonable to insist on the
passage of the conscription bill at
this time, when voluntary enlist
ments are running so high, and
the Army and Navy Departments
both declare that they do not have
the mechanical equipment to train
more men than are now enlisting.
What are the forces behind this
bill that are relentlessly trying to
force it to final enactment without
further delay? Such an import
ant measure should be given care
full and thoughtful deliberation
taking into consideration all facts
presented. This legislation is the
most important and far-reaching
that has come before Congress this
session and should be treated as
such and not rushed through the
House and Senate without first de-
termining where it will eventually
lead us.
CHILD REFUGEE BILLION
Wednesday, August z, the House
passed the Hennings bill to allow
American ships to rescue children
from the war zones of Europe af-
ter adopting an amendment which
supporters of the measure said
would destroy it." The amend
ment that particularly aroused re
sentiment would require that the
adult personnel accompanying the
children be exclusively American,
The measure would amend the
neutrality act to permit American
vessels to enter war zones for the
rescue of children under 16 years
of age, providing that safe-con-
ducts are first granted by all the
belligerent nations. The ships
would be required TO sail in ballast
and be distinctly marked. Follow
ing the passage of this bill the
House immigration Committee
yesterday reported a bill giving
temporary admission to scores Of
thousands of homeless European
children to the United States. The
bill would authorize issuance OF
visitors visas for the refugee chill
dren even though they are unac-
companied by adults and have

LET'S BE REASONABLE


IN July the number Of unemploy.
ed persons III the country was esti-
mated at s,2s5.000. The estimated
unemployment for July 1871, accord
ing to the National Industrial Con-
ference Board, will be reduced less
than one-half. bringing Il down to
about. 41k million.
The mobilization Of the National
Guard and Organized Reserves, plus
conscription, will open civilian jobs
to approximately million Of the
idle, and defense orders and accom-
panying business is expected TO en-
ploy another 35s million persons.
The idea tina tthe manufacturing
business Of the United States is
going to be scrapped for the temper
sry purpose of preparing the United
States isn't reasonable. No one in
the Government, or the large indus
tries, figures for a moment along
those lines. More than 10 thousand
manufacturing plants and business
institutions are being classified in
order TO determine Just how they
will at in with the defense plan.
In the manufacture of munitions,
tanks, and ships and machines for
water, land and air transportation,
the survey referred to above shows
that the operations are so different
from those of peace times as to re-
quire new housing, new tools and
new machinery.
