Christians Are Told
That Neutral Stand
Is Impossible
Protestont Group Says
Allied Defect Would
Preclude Justice
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Thirty-
three Protestant clergymen and lay
men declared last night Christians
could not remain neutral in the
present international conflicts.
In joint statement, they asserted
Christians in neutral nations should
not evade ethical issues raised by
the wars abroad and that American
churches were under obligations to
lead their nation to assume re-
sponsible relationship" to these wars.
ITO suggest that nothing of con-
sequence is at stake in the success
of japanese, German and Russian
designs on China, Czecho-Slovakia,
Poland and the Baltic States, or in
the successful resistance of these
latter nations, is to be guilty of
moral responsibility" the state
ment continued.
"A victory for the allied powers or
for China would not of itself assure
the establishment of justice and
peace, but the victory of Germany
Russia or Japan would inevitably
preclude the justice, freedom of
thought and worship, and interna-
tional cooperation which are fun
damental to Christian world order
Therefore, Christians in neutral
countries cannot evade the ethical
issues involved and the consequent
claim upon their sympathy and
support"
Among signers Of the statement
were the Right Rev. Henry st.

-0veruse Of vitamin D
Dangerous, Doctors Find
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
URBANA, Ill, Jan. 22.-Three
University of Illinois physicians re-
ported today that 10 years Of re-
search led them to believe vitamin
D in concentrated form was not a
medical cure-all and that overuse
or misuse of it could be dangerous
to health and life.
Drs. C. I. Reed, H. c. Struck and
I. E. Steck of the university's Col
lege of Medicine have summed up
their research and all material on
the subject published in the last
seven years in a book entitled wit
amin D." and published by the Uni
versity of Chicago press.
The physicians said they found
doses of vitamin D much larger
than those used for ricketts, might
be dangerous unless administered
under trained medical supervision
and for definite purposes.
Vitamin D, they said. has been
used successfully for treatment OF
rickets, parathyroid deficiency
spasms, jaundice, arthritis, acne
and other skin conditions, and for
certain conditions associated with
pregnancy. It is too expensive for

The last chapter Of Job, which is
the subject of today's lesson, is the
happy ending to the story. Because
though sorcly tempted and tried, JOB
did not curse his Maker, rcpented Of
whatever sins he had committed, and
prayed for his friends who had spent
days arguing with him, he was made
happy and was blessed during the
latter part Of his life.
The whole book of job contains
such Il wealth Of fine sayings, that
it is well worth careful reading, and
many Of the passages will be found
familiar and many others not 50
often quoted are worthy TO be men
oriZed.
At the beginning Of the 38th chap
ter it is recorded that the Lord Spakc

him many questions. You remember
in our lesson Job declared his faith
in his Rcdeemer and stated that he
would see Him. In this last chapter,
the And. he actually talks with his
Creator. When he did so he realized
his own shortcomings, his complaints,
at his cruel fate and his inSinuationS
that God was unjust to a man so up
right and innocent.
And now, to Gods questions, JOB
answers: Il know that Thou canst
do everything, and that no thought
can be behOlden from Thee.

He smiled blissfully. There was
no embarrassment or guilt in the
smile. Quite patiently he was enjoy

considered it all within his right.
Never mind" he said. Il came

Linda gasped. Yes, that was
what Terry would do. He would
radio a gay, light-hearted greeting
and Caroline would slip it into her
blouse and wear it close to her
heart all day while she modelled
stockings.
1t would be better, Linda reflect
ed, if she did not file her message.
If she did, Caroline might think
she had given the idea to Terry.

She looked up, startled, and

in a deep chair, wearing golden
sweater as radiant as her hair,
Sarah was listening, too.

well-nourished cat, and her voice

Now she believes me. Want to try

There wasn't time, though. Tea
was being served on deck. But
when it was over, and the sunset
was spilling red banners into a
purple sea, Linda suddenly slipped
away. The golden spell of the DAY
was going. How or why, she didn't
know, She wanted to be alone TO
recapture it. o.o
At the door of her stateroom she

had spent so much time arguing with
his troubles upon him, and the Lord
said To then-EliphaZ, the Temanlte,
Bldad the Shunte and Zophar the
,Naamathite: My wrath is kindled
against thee: for We have not spoken
Of me the thing that is right, as my
servant Job hath
Then He told them they must
take seven bullockS and seven rams,
and go to job and offer up burnt
offering, and Job Wuold pray for
them.
! And the Lord turned the captivity
of Job, when he prayed for his
friends: also the Lord gave Job
twice as much as he had before
Isn't it peculiar how friends and
relatives often disappear when one
is in trouble-cspecially when one
has lost his property? Many are
faithful and true, thank God, but
it is surprising how many appear
only when one is again prosperous.
Thus it was with Job. When he was
again wealthy his brothers and Sis
ters and all his acquaintance came
to him, and they accepted his hos
pitality and bemoaned and comfort
ed him; and every man also gave him
piece of money and every one an
earring of gold.
so the Lord blessed Job at last
and he had more than ne had in the
beginning, as many again Of sheep,
camels, oxen and she asses.
Seven more sons and three daugh-
tcrs who were very beautiful, were
born to him. Job lived to be an hun
dred and forty years old, and saw his
sons and his sons sons, even four
generations.
so Job died, being old, and full
of days.
This is the end Of the dramatic
story of Job, who was sadly afflicted
but lived to be happy and grow
old with his family. Faith in God
and His goodness, acknowledgement
and repentance OF his sins, and the
fact that he stood Satans test,
brought him through his troubles.
Would you and / have the necessary
faith and courage to face such trials
and come out victorious? We must
live daily SO as to strengthen our
faith and courage.
