HIDDEN
HALOS
BY Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

I was visiting a preacher friend
sometime ago and we were dis
cussing sermon titles which we
had used recently.
Nov here is one that 1 preach
ed from few Sundays ago." my
friend said, as he leafed over some
papers. 1T is Hidden Halos.'
Halos, you know" he explained
"are those circles of light which
artists paint just above the heads
of saints"
But you have to be some cele-
brated saint, like st. Augustine, or
st. Francis of Assist before you
are entitled to such halo" I OBJ
jected.
THAT is where you are wrong, ("
he corrected me. There are other
saints who are today wearing
halos, only they are hidden from
the physical eye"
For instance" I required, be-
coming increasingly interested.
Those faithful men and women
who are sacrificing their time and
money to keep the doors of the
church open and attractive to 9TH
ers." There was deep earnest
ness in his eyes.
'I know such a man." I added,
as the face of a certain faithful
brother flashed before my mind.
Through sunshine and storm he is
always at every service. He even
goes without many comforts that
he may be able to give more large
ly to the Church"
"And did you ever notice" my
friend asked me, leaning forward
in his chair in his tense eagerness,

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
Up to the present time industry
has been unwilling to accept gov
eminent contracts for war mater
ials needed under the national de-
fense program until they knew the
terms of the tax bill which is now
being drawn up for presentation to
Congress. However, the '1og-jam"
has been broken, and agreements
reached between the Government
and industry, on the basis that any
contractor now accepting orders
for material who does not wish to
keep the contract after the pass
age of the pending tax legislation
will be refunded by the Govern
ment for any expenses incurred in
the preparations for fulfilling the
contract The National Defense
Advisory Commission has decided
that it will rely on voluntary CO
operation by private industry to
get deliveries on schedule for Gov
invoking legal authority to en-
force priorities on defense con-
tracts. The Defense Commission
has requested the Army and Navy
munitions boards to adopt a sys-
tenn of preference classifcations
designed to indicate the order in
which the Army and Navy require
contracts to be executed by indus
try. Contracts are expected to be
signed within the next week with
about a dozen aircraft, engine and
accessory manufacturers for the
production Of approximately 1000
ships for the air corps at a COM
plete cost of roughly 100000, 900.

plete equipment for 100000 men
might be on hand late in 1943 if
sufficient money were appropriate

extreme pressure on the program.

for ever and ever: for wisdom and
might are his. he giveth wisdom
unto the wise, and knowledge to
them that know understanding. A
bible citation from the lesson-ser-
mon: Phil. 2: 3-5. Let nothing be
done through strife or vain glory;
but in lowliness of mind let each
esteem other better than them
selves. 4. Look not every man on
his own things, but every man also
on the things of others. 5. Let
this mind be in you, which was
also in Christ Jesus. Correlative
from the Textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy: Jesus
established in the Christian era the
precedent for all Christianity, the
ology, and healing. Christians are
under as direct orders now, as they
were then, to be Christlike, to pos
sess the Christspirit, to follow the
Christ-example, and to heal the
sick as well as the SHINING :. Our
Master said to every follower: 60
We into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature!. :

Secretary Knox announced that

EXCESS PROFITS TAX BILL
The joint session of House and
Senate members of the taxing
committees formally terminated
public hearings ON the revenue bill
on August IA. Although bill
will not be introduced in the House
until next week, Chairman Dough
ten of the House Ways and Means
Committee stated that he believes
the committee can speed up its
work by beginning executive ses-
sions Immediately for the purpose
of reviewing testimony presented
by business and industrial repre-
sentatives during the five days of
hearings. Representatives of bus
mess and industry who have ap-
peared before the Committee agree
that a substantial portion of addi-
tional earnings derived from the
irearmament program by industry
should be returned to the govern
ment, but business is concerned
with avoiding losses through costs
of new plants which would be used
for the period of the emergency
only.
NATIONAL GUARD Billion
Thursday, August Is, the House
passed the National Guard mobil-
ization bill, which had previously
passed the Senate, empowering the
President to call out some 396, 900
guardsmen and Army reservists
for a years active service any,
where in the Western Hemisphere.
During debate on this measure an
amendment was offered to limit
tn use of troops to the United
States and its possessions, but this
amendment was defeated by a vote
of 21O to ITO. House leaders arg
ued that this limitation would be
misunderstood by the Latin Amer
icas and was bad military policy"
The bill now goes back to the Sem
ate for approval of minor changes
and is expected to become a law
within the next week, and the
Guard called out in increments this
fall.
REGISTRATION OF ALIENS
for the first time in history, the
United States Government is start
ing to treat aliens as other coun-
tries have long treated them.
Aliens have been welcomed to this
country from its earliest begin
nings and from the American
melting pot this nation grew and
prospered. Henceforth, there will
be no open-handed unquestioning
welcome, but they will be policed
and watched as alien movements
are watched in Europe. Between
August 27 and December 26 every
alien in the United States must
register at a first or second class
/ post Office. Each of them will re-
ceive a registration card and any
change of address must be report
ed to the immigration and Natur-
alization Service in Washington
within five days. The decision to
register all aliens in the country,
some 100000 of them, is no indi-
cation that the Government or the

Germans say they are landing
troops and supplies without inter-
ruption at Oslo.
Advance Successful
Authorized sources admitted that
every difficulty the Allies could
muster was placed in their way,
but insisted the strategy of advanc-
ing from Oslo simultaneously in
north, northwest and westerly di-
rections was 100 per cent success
full.
The Germans says it is only a
question of time before they mop
up the Allied troops between DOM
has and Analsnes with bombers
and mechanical forces. Farther
south, the Germans are rapidly
closing the gap around Voss on the
Bergen-Oslo railway, despite Nor
wegian opposition.
Today's feat, said DNB, the Ger
man news agency, was accom-
plished despite British initiative in
throwing their regiments as far as
possible to the front, in destroying
bridges in cooperation with the
Norwegians and building earth
works wherever possible for de-
tense.
Pointing out that the distance
covered in 20 days of fighting is as
far as from Berlin to Nurnberg,
DNB asserted the marching feat
alone was remarkable" in the
rugged, icy mountainland.
"Countless distractions and de-
stroyed bridges had to be over
come, machine-gun nests in SEEM
ingly invincible positions had to be
captured, strongly defended noun
tain passes had to be circumvent-
3D." DNB continued.
wherever the fighting troops
had to pause to catch their breath,
the engineer vanguards saw to it
that connecting roads were kept
free.

peared where nobody expected
them, and faultless reconnaissance
regarding the enemy's intentions
always kept the initiative in our
own hands"
