RADIANT LIVING
The ULTIMATE coal
BY REV. C. NJ. GRIFFITH
Pastor Methodist Church. Cecllton, Nd

There are a great many religions
in the world. Yet all those of the
highest types have a common aim.
They all seek to bring one into a
harmonious relationship with God.
Jesus revealed that He possessed
this mystic relationship when He
said: "ThOu. Father, art in me, and
in Thee"
Every earnest soul has lOnged for
more harmonious union with the
Spirit of God. AS Augustine exclaim-
ed: Our heart is restless unless 1t
repose in thee" And as the Psalmist
declared: "As the heart panteth af-
ter the water brooks, so panteth my
soul after thee, o God"
To reach this ultimate goal of all
religion-harmony with GOd-you
must do two things. First. you must
know what God is like. Second, You
must remove from your inner. life
everything that is contrary to that
which you know God to be.
The first requirement has already
been accomplished. From the dec
laration of the Scripture we know
that God is love-"
It remains therefore for you to
meet the second requirement. You
must remove from your heart every
thing that is contrary to Gods ma
ture of love.
To enter into a harmonious rela-
tionship with God, all i'll feeling to-
ward everyone must go. All resent
ment, prejudice, bitterness, hatred
and malice must go. In their place
must be cultivated kindness, consid-
Grafton, good feeling and gOdlike
love.
When your heart becomes filled
with Gods love there comes to you
a, joyous consciousness of entering
into q fellowship with God which is
not only heavenly in character but
radiant with gloryl
This then is religions highest goal,
to walk with God in love and to love
all as He loves.

SOCIALISM! WHETHER
YOU LIKE 1T OR NOT

Those politicians whose motto
seems to be "socialize the power in.
dustry no matter what the cost" are
tireless workers.
OF late, their efforts have been
concentrated in the Pacific North
west, where the government has
built two gigantic hydro dams, al
bonneville and Grand COulee. They
have taken every conceivable step
to persuade the people of this area
to throw their tax-paying, publicly
regulated private utilities overheard,
and to take power from the govern
ment's tax-subsidized, taX-free, un-
regulated projects. But in only a
few cases have the people agreed
and in. the great majority of cases.
including all involving large centers
of population, they have turned
thumbs down. One result is that the
promoters of power specialization are
desperately trying to make the peo-
pie change their minds.
The publ cat large has proven it.
self a great deal wiser than some of
its sc-called leaders. For in these
days, it is actually an economic
crime to keep on sinking tax money
int public power plants and trans
mission systems which give the
country nothing il does not already
receive from strictly-regulated, pri-
Vate plants which are taxpayers in
stea ! of tax-eaters Our problem to-
day is to figure out how TO raise suf-
ficient tax money for necessary
purposes without wrecking the
country financially. We must carry
out a defense program requiring
twenty or thirty billion dollars, on
top of a $4,000 100000 peace-time
national debt. The demands of de-
fense will require every nickel the
government can raise. without |
squandering a penn yin competition |
with existing business.
One indispensable requisite of a |
real defense structure is growing, |
tax-paying private enterprise in all |
fields. We can't have both expanding |
private enterprise and expanding So
cialized enterprise. That is as true
of power as it would be of steel, i'm
transportation, food distri-
button, or anything else. Every time
American voters, in a tiny village
or a great city, say MOI" to pro-
posal to sociaIize power system,
they are doing two things. They are
the useless waste Of gov
funds. And they are stand
ing squarely in defense Of an eco
loinic system, the American way Of
life. which has done more for the
average man and woman than all the
alien European ideologies rolled into
me.

We've all keard OF kilowatt-hours

certain amount OF electricity. But
few realize just how much energy
one kilowatt-hour represents.
IN a recent laboratory test, a

He produced just a little over one

CONSUMERS GET
COOPERATION
.fLIIt-L 80 t-lflL -


The consumer movement, accord
ing to recent reports, continues to
grow. More and more people, espe-
cially women, are showing an intel
ligent interest in packaging, grad
ing, truth-in-advertising, etc These
people are wisely determined to know
what they're buying, and to get
maximum value for minimum ex-
penditures.
Fortunately for the success Of the
movement, it is being given willing
cooperation in two important quar-
ters First, the manufacturers of
the country are showing praise-wor-
thy interest in improving their pro-
duets, in frankly and truthfully la
beling them, and in using advertis-
ing copy that tells the story without
going in for poetical exaggerations.
Second, American retailing is also
doing its part to see that the con-
sumner movement achieves the sue
cess 1t deserves. The chain stores
have led in this, and other stores
have Joined in The retailers are
seeing to it that packaged foods con-
tain the proper quantity and are of
the described quality-are helping
to simplify and clarity grading stan
dards and terms-and are keeping to
the facts IN their advertising and
promotional activities.
The kind Of manufacturer or store
which worked on the principle that
anything they could get away with
was all right, is going out of the
picture. Business today is fully
aware that its own welfare depends
upon the. consumers welfare. It
knows that "gypped' customer
doesn't come back. And the con-
sumer is getting the breaks.

New Fabric Colors
Are Interesting

Twenty-one different shades, all
in pastel tones, are listed for
women's choosing as the correct
1941 fabric colors for home dec
grafton.
The shades were determined
after exhaustive study of trends in
both the dress and decorative fab
ric fields. 1t is believed the two
leading favorites will be variations
of green and rosewood. The COM
plete list follows:
Sea greens, dusty pink, citron,
grays, natural, rosewood. olive,
jade, lacquer, pearl, eggshell.
Tuscan red. orchid, pine, laurel,
rosemist, fawn, coral, reseda,
charteuse and deep tan.
Newest homes. presided over by
women who like to be known as
modern, will be decorated with
fabrics in these pastel tints. They
are being used in the newest col
lection of heavy and light cotton
and rayon fabrics for upholstery
purposes. Patterns are plain sim
pie diagonals, horizontals and YER
ticals in the modern mood.

dress alone under your coat. Just

front skirt panel gives slim flat

darted above the waist to keep its

Fashions in Furnishings
Governed by Personalities

Fashions in furnishings, as
shown in the model rooms set up
in stores throughout the country,
seem to be equally divided this fall
between rooms that are devoted to
contemporary styles and those
that are reminiscent OF yesterday.
Some Of them are true reproduc-
tons of one period or another,
while others are exciting mixtures
of styles. In planning ones own
style of decoration. one must
choose the type that best suits her
own personality, and which also
fits her mode of life.

DeAf MISS AHeNs 1 an ieANlnt
soon for my first year 1t college
and ! am naturally very much
excited. Recently, however. have
had somewhat Of a damper thrown
on my plans. The school which
have chosen Is a co-educational in
stitution. Two Of my very good
friends have just left for their sec
ond year at a woman's college and
the two weeks before they left
were spent by them in trying TO
persuade me to change my mind
about the school had selected and
return with them. At first was
certain my decision was right, but
their Arguments were so strong
we'll, frankly, I'm not so sure of my
choice now. Please tell me what
you think of the two types of
schools. Are the advantages OF
one any greater than those of the
other? CT.
Dear c. IA There are certain
advantages in attending either type
Of school. The beat way to answer
your question. believe. is to list
q few of the advantages of both.
A graduate of a woman's college
perhaps has the ability of getting
along with those OF her own sex
better than does a graduate Of a
co-educational school. This Is be-
cause she spends her daily life with
girls. She eats all her meals with
them. sympathizes with them and
has long discussions with them. A
girl who is spoiled and egotistical
will soon find herself left out in
the cold II she can't established
rapport between herself and her
feminine companions.
A woman's college tends to aid
q student 10 realize her own indi-
viduality. She learns to assert her
self. She finds that arguments and
debates with girls are just as in
teresting as those with boys. And
they may be helpful, too, for there
Is a decided advantage in learning
to argue with girls first.
Yes. there are all sorts of advan-
tages to girls school but perhaps
the greatest is the building of char
aeter and personality.
And now. for the advantages OF
a co-educational college. One OF
the outstanding points is that at

Young Love
Dear Miss Grey: am 20 and in

We are going to marry but cir
cumstanees prevent us from
marrying for two years.
Naturally I desire to be with
her all the time I can and I have
no wish to be with any other girl.
She, too, feels the same way
about me, but when ask her to
go steady" she says mo"
She can't explain II. or maybe l
don't understand, but she insists
II is better not to see too much
of each other until we have a
definite plan for marriage. II she
is correct will you please attempt
to tell me wherein lies the sensi-
bleness OF her reasoning?
PETER r.
Perhaps she feels that the
emotional strain OF long en-
gagement will do neither you
nor herself any good. II she Is
honest In this conviction you
should give her credit for using
her head and forgetting her
heart for a while. You are
young and have plenty of time
ahead of you. Better face the
future with no regrets than to
try to rush things now and run
the risk of spelling what should
be the happiest time OF your
life. However. II you are young
people of common sense and a
normal amount of control, there
is no reason why you should
not enjoy each others company.
1t all rests with you and the
girl. No outsiders can solve
this problem for you.
