RADIANT LIVING
Though Life Be A Desert
By Rev. C.. M. Griffith

It is the Psalmist who paints a
never-to-be-forgotten picture of the
human heart thirsting for God when
he exclaims: GAS the hart panteth
after the water brooks, so panteth
my soul after Thee, o God"
These words bring to my mind
fascinating scene of a peaceful wood
land sloping down into quiet ravine
through which gently ripples con-
tented brook.
Half hidden by the green over
hanging foliage, there stands in the
stream a doe, heated and athirst by
the chase, but thankfully drinking.
It is a picture of a soul who, though
hunted and pursued by some kind Of
evil, has found in some quiet vale,
the sustaining Grace Of Coda spirit
gratefully drinking from the stream
of Divine Strength.
Sometimes ones life seems to have
become like a bleak dreary desert.
But do not give up in despair. Such
was the experience of Hagar. But
she cried out to God and He opened
we'll of water for her and for her
son.
If you are perishing in some desert
experience, cry out to God in the
words of the Psalmist: 20 God. thou
art my God; early will I seek thee:
my soul thirstest for thee, my flesh
longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty
land, where no water is; to see thy
power and thy glory, so as I have
seen thee in the sanctuary ,
The answer to such a cry comes
from God to us through the words of

peace Will be demonstrated in human
experience. May our prayer be that
peace be not only talked, but so lived
that the passerby will feel its holy
influence. Mrs. Eddy says in "The
First Church of Christ, Scientist, and
Miscellany" Up. 279), "The First Com
mandment in the Hebrew Decalogue
Thou shalt have no other gods be-
fore me'-obeyed, is sufficient to still
all strife. God is the divine Mind.
Hence the sequence: Had all peoples
one Mind, peace would reign" When
the world has learned to obey the
one Mind, God, then we shall be able
to sing with the angels, "On earth
peace, good will toward men," in
perfect confidence that permanent
peace has been established.-The

AS we round out the
seventh year of emanci-
patton from National
Prohibition, it seems in
order for us to take a
quick glance at some of
the things Repeal has
meant to our Nation.
Seven years ago there
was no payroll of a le-
galized liquor industry
in this country.
Today the payroll of
that industry is ST., OOO,-
100000 a year
Seven years ago no
one was employed in a
legalized liquor indus
try in the United States.
Today over 1000, 900
people depend on this
industry for their jobs.
Seven years ago our
public treasures receiv-
ed no tax revenues from
a legalized liquor indus
try.
Today a revenue of
more than ST, 900, O00,-
600 a year is received
from this source.
These facts give only
a small part of the story
of what Repeal has
meant to this country.
The other parts of that
story-partic ular ly
those which have to do
with social conditions,
crime, vice and corrup-
ton under bootlegging,
as contrasted with the
situation today-are so
we'll known by this time
that they hardly need
to be retold.

PHYSICAL CHECK-UP ON
ONES SELF is SUGGESTED
State Health Director Advises
Complete Going Over For
The New Year

'If you have not had complete
physical going-over recently, treat
yourself to one before the New Year
gets much older" is the advice of DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, to grown-ups
in Maryland.
"Find out how you stand" he said,
$50 far as your physical resources are
concerned. This is auditing time in the
business world-it is equally impor-
tant to have periodical inspection of
ones health assets and liabilities, and
to budget ones physical resources and
activities in accordance with the find
ings.
$50, go to your doctor and your den
tist-unless you have done it recently
for a thorough checking up. If you
have been overdrawing your health
account, or if your reserve supply is
low and needs careful watching, they
can advise you as to the best ways of
building up, or of conserving, what
you have.
Nationwide surveys by the U. S.
Public Health Service and other health
agencies have shown a steady and dis
Guieting increase in illness and deaths
from chronic ailments, not only among
the older age groups but beginning
with those in early adult life. The
steady increase in recent years, in i'll
ness and deaths in the older groups
from what are known as the degenera-
tive diseases-heart disease, diseases
of the kidneys, cancer, cerebral hemor-
rhage, diabetes and diseases of the
artenries-all of which are particu-
larly associated with persons in middle
age or older, has focused attention on
those diseases and made them more
and more a matter of concern to all
health authorities.
"a very special reason for the peri
odical medical check-up is the opportu-
nifty it gives for the early detection
of Chronic or degenrative disease
before it has become firmly estab-
lished Nearly all of these diseases
develop slowly. The majority can be
recognized even in the earliest stages,
in the course of a thorough medical
examination. Early discovery may not
make complete recovery possible. But
