RADIANT LIVING
Light Shall Triumph
BY Rev. C. M. Griffeth
Cecilton, Md.

1t is most interesting to NOTE how
far back in history we can trace the
spiritual ideas that mean so much to
us today.
Many of the spiritual concepts in
the writings of the Apostles can be
traced back beyond Judaism. The use
of light and darkness as figures of
good and evil can be traced back to
Zoraster, the founder of the religion
of the Modes and Persians.
The problem of evil weighted heav-
lily upon him. At the door of his
mountain cave he wrestled with the
problem of evil. The struggle was
so intense that it seemed to him that
evil took on a personal shape and be-
came a personality. He came to the
conclusion that all trouble and suf-
fering is the work of malignant
spirit.
Zoroaster struck a victorious note
of faith however when he declared:
"The great demon of darkness will
be conquered by the God of light"
With that conviction Zoroaster de-
termined to go forth preaching that
the time would come when the God of
darkness would be completely van
iqushed by the God of Light and
Truth.
The message of Zoroaster was that
Light shall conquer. So declared One
greater than he, when the Christ in
vision saw Satan falling from hea-
ven.
Is the power of darkness making
your life unhappy? Do not become
discouraged. Seize the faith of the
ages! Make it your personal faith.
There is no darkness in your life that
can stand in the light of the Christ!

 The testimony of pr. William Goodrich who was on the stand when court adjourned last week, was concluded today. There were no in- dications as to when States Attor- ney William B. Fitzgerald will rest his case.

 New York, Nov. 6.-(UP)-Out of the bitterness of fiercely fought presidential battle, came pleas for national unity today from the sup- porters of both candidates.
 The people were told that 1t is their first duty now to foster and promote a national unity and pre- sent to the totalitarian powers a solid, undivided front.
 Chairman William Allen White, of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies announced that 'llnity mass meetings" would be held throughout the nation within the next few days.
 '"The mass meetings" White said, "should plead for unity of national spirit in support of foreign policy to defend America by aiding the Allies. This is appropriate inasmuch as both presidential candidates pledged all aid to the Allies,'
 White proposed that all Demo- cratic and Republican campaign literature and buttons be burned at public unity" bonfires.
 Tn Chicago, Frank Knox, secre- tary of the navy, asserted that 1t now "becomes the duty of every

good American to foster and pro- mote national unity.
 Tt has been the undisguised hope of Berlin, Rome and Tokyo" he saiI, that the election would leave us disastrously divided. We must prove that vain hope.
 Bitterness to be Buried
 "The doubts and the hesitations which the campaign produced are now behind us. The bitterness which it engendered must be for- gotten. We must, for our national safety, become one people devotedly pursuing single purpose under our constitutionally selected one leader --the President"
 Democratic National Committee Chairman Edward J. Flynn said that with the election there passes what ever bitterness there has been in this campaign" He asserted that those who supported Wendell Will kie would join President Roosevelt in his efforts to keep "our nation out of war and carry on the pro- gram of economic progress that has brought us so far on the road to recovery"
 Former Democratic National Committee Chairman James A. Far ley also made a radio plea for unity.
 Now, perhaps as never before in its history, the United States has need for national unity" Farley said. "rhe excitement of the campaign must not blind our eyes to the dan- gers of the perilous world in which we live. We must go forward with out delay or interruption along the path which we have been follow ing in the nation since the ugly form of total war engulfed the rla- tions of Europe and the Orient"
 Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins declared that during such a time as the present there should be no accent on class or group struc- tureS such as capital and labor, but rather on solid Democratic unity of the nation"
 Forget Differences
 Differences and divisions must now be forgotten, Gov. Herbert H. Lehman of New York said
 We must devote ourselves" he said, Ito working for the good of the country and democracy"
 Leading supporters of both major political parties meet in New York's Carnegie hall tonight in an Amer ica United Rally.
 Among the speakers will be Alfred M. Landon, Republican presidential nominee in 1886, and Attorney Gen. eral Robert H. Jackson.
 The rally will be broadcast over nationwide hookup of the Colum- bia Broadcasting System from 10:l5 p. m. until II D. m.
 Dorothy Thompson, noted news paper columnist who supported President Roosevelt. was scheduled to have spoken ut the rally If MT. Roosevelt had been defeated to ex- emplify the good-loser spirit. Lan. don supported Willkie.
