THE EMERGING
STATUTE
BY Rev. G. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

Sometime ago there was place
on exhibition a thought provokine
piece Of statuary It was a repre-
sentation of a young man emerg-
ing from rock. With a chisel i
one hand and a raised mallet in the
other, he was busily engaged il
chipping away the rough rock
from around his hips, gradually
shaping himself out of the rough
stone into the form and beauty Of
an Apollo.
AS / thought of this statue it
seemed to suggest to me that this
is what we as Christians are trying
to do each day to chip away the
roughness Of our lives and to en-
erge with the beauty of the Christ.

A strong right arm and a rugged
constitution to back 1t up was the
prescription recommended by these
authorities. Defense has first call
on the country's resources. they
said. but America has sufficient re-

to neglect those foundations OF
normal productivity which underlie
both the ramparts and the way Of
life behind them.

not however with the coldneSs and
Ilifelessness of marble, but with the
warmth and compassion of the liv-
ing Christ.
This is no doubt the thought
which the Apostle had in mind
when he wrote the admonition to
work out your own salvation"
And so I see the Christian, every
day hard at work in chipping away
the roughness of his life, the old
habits, the ungodly emotions, the
unChristlike thinking, until there
emerges into being the beauty and
strength and winsomeness of the
Christ character.
The Christian therefore is an
artist, a sculpturer, who seeks to
chip away from himself the ugh-
ness of sin that mars his beauty,
to deleat from his being those fore
es of evil emotions that defeat his
efforts at well-doing, to eliminate
from his thinking those thought
habits that destroy his happiness.
Thus he keeps chipping away until
he emerges out of fears into faith,
out of hates into love, out of self
into Christ.

d survey of the climatic advant-
ages of such a project
Mr. Root, who wrote The XYZ
Of Bee Culture, book which
has sold 100000 copies, pointed
out that queen bees can produce
only in warm weather and that
in the north their productivity is
cut in half by the advent of win
ter.
The only setback in establish
ing an apiary here is that Key
West is so far from honey mar

however that could more than
be compensated for by the year
round production of honey.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Dec.
l0.-Florida CCC enrollees will
have a bank account when their
enrolment expires with which to
dress up and go job hunting, if
they see fit, under a change of
plans for allotments announced
here today by the State Welfare
Board. The change is effective
January l.
At the same time the Board,
which is the selecting agency for
Florida, announced that the next
enrolment would begin or Janu-
airy 2 and continue through Janu-
ary 81.
The new allotment plan pro-
vides that the enrollee will be
permitted to retain So of his $50
monthly wage for his personal
spending while in camp, as at
present Instead of remitting the
remaining S22 per month home,
in the event he has dependents,
he will be required to send but
SIS. The other 81 per month
will be deposited to his credit and
will be handed over to him in a
lump sum when his enrolment
expires.
Under this plan an enrollee
who remained in camp for u
months would accumulate a re-
serve of S84- Those who serve
two years, the maximum time.
would leave camp with twice
that amount.
Florida'S next quota has not
yet been announced, but indica-
tions are that all eligible appli-
cantS will be accepted, according
to Jack Horne, State Welfare
Board director of enrolment. Due
to the fact that fewer applica-
tions are on file in the offices of
District Welfare Boards than at

that the outlook for acceptance

bright

I'm not going to get involved

is that IN 1910 and 1890 (there

apparent and a law now forbids
