RADIANT LIVING
HIDDEN HALOS
By REV. c. NJ. GRTFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church, CeclltOn, Nd.

was visiting a preacher friend
sometime ago and we were discuss
ing sermon titles which we had used
recently.
"Now here is one that l preached
from few Sundays ago." my friend
said, as he leafed over some papers.
1T is Hidden HalOs.' Halos. you
know" he explained, ARE those cir
cles 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 a halo" l objected.
THAT is where you are wrong" he
corrected me. There are other
saints who are today wearing halos,
only they are hidden from the ply
sical eye"
For instance?' l inquired, 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 a deep earnestness
in his eyes.
Il know such man." l 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 give
more largely to the church"
And did you ever notice." my
friend asked me, leaning forward in
his chair in his tense eagerness, did
you ever notice when. you were in
conversation with him concerning
spiritual things that there seemed to
be glow of light upon his brow, a
glow that seemed to be celestial?"
II almost believe l have!" l con-
fessed.
''That was a reflection of the glory
of his hidden halo!" he declared.
"And some day." he added, that hid
den halo shall be transformed into
a crown of glory"
Rev. Griffeth has helped others to live
a more radiant life and he would be glad
to help you. Write him concerning your

The y. S. on Guard

When President Roosevelt made
bis demands upon our Nation for
! immediate preparedness 70 resist
invasion Of the Western Hemisphere
he said that this country should
have $4,000 planes year. The Am
eriean aviation industry has pro-
duced a total Of about $4,000 planes
during its lifetime OF a little more
than 80 years. Henry Ford has said
that his company could make a thou
sand planes a day.
It develops that Germany took
some pages of democracy's book Of
achievements in mass production"
and attained a record capacity Of
$4,000 planes a year. At the same
time Germany produced thousands
of tanks and vast quantities OF me-
chanized machinery for war. The
World has been stunned and amazed
by Germany's terrific-efilciency.
In the meantime France followed
a popular front government" and
nationalized aircraft and other fac
tories ito take the profit out Of war"
England was doing only about half
a job in producing planes. Neither
Government seemed to be meeting
the threatening challenge by the
Germans.
Within recent days our country
has voted billions of dollars to pre-
vent or meet invasion Of the United
States and the Republics of the Wes-
tern Hemisphere. That is why air
craft has suddenly become a central
need of preparedness. Leaders in in
dustTy. like Stettinius and Kundsen,
have been summoned to the service |
of the Government to weld the eff |
forts of private industry and busi-
ness with Government and military
leadership. When America faces
danger all Americans lay aside their /
differences and unite in support of /
the common cause. That is where
we are today. A few weeks ago
the National Capital was split into
political pieces. Leaders quarreled
about domestic and foreign affairs
and policies Now, Army, Navy and
Air power are being increased. Men

Pony Express Was 'GIorious Failure

THE Pony Express, the most A thrilling epic of U. S. postal history, was a financial failure. Although 80 daring riders risked their lives to bind the East and West more closely together, and to lay the foundations of the empire of the west, the venture broke its packers.
 United States remembers the glorious failure" in a special g. cent commemorative, of the design above, released at St. Joseph, Mo-, and Sacramento, Calif., April 3, 80th anniversary of the first Pony Express ride. The route covered 2O00 miles of plains and moun- tains between the two cities.
 Mail was carried at $5 an ounce. Riders were paid $lOO a month, travelled 75 miles a day, and changed horses every 10 to IS miles. The line was managed by Russell, Majors and Wadell, an overland freighting and stage coach company. Five hundred horses were bought for the serv- ice. Station keepers were main- tained at each relay and overnight station. It cost $33, ,0OO a month to run the Pony Express during the l7 months of its existence.
 The completion of transconti- mental telegraph doomed the Pony Express.

DID you ever walk through for

A HIGHWAY PROBLEM

The driver of an automobile OBJ
served another car just disappear
ing around a curve some distance
ahead. BY referring to his speed
ometer he found it was just one
mile to the curve.
Upon rounding the curve he saw
that the other car was just passing
a filling station further on, and he
found that the distance from the
curve to the filling station was eight
tenths of a mile. Finally he passed
the other car some distance farther
on.
Supposing that each car travels at
a steady rate, how far would it be
from the place where the driver
first noticed the other car to the
place where he passed it?

Balloons in Warfare
The French were probably the first
to recognize the. value of balloons
for war purposes, a special study
being given to the subject during
the French revolutionary wars. Rec
onnoitering balloons were subse-
quently used in the French CAM
paign in Italy in 1859. During the
siege Of Paris (187O-7I), comnuni-
cation was effected between the be-
sleged and the provinces by means
OF balloons Carrying pigeons which
were liberated to bring back news.
Military balloons were used in the
United States by the Feoerals dur
ing the Civil war.
