TRAGIC DILEMMA

II is a tragic dilemma which
tears the French nation into con-
.flicting groups From evidence
that reaches this country in a
roundabout way from occupied
and unoccupied France, it is be-
You'd doubt that great numbers of
the French people are putting all
their hope and faith in a British
Victory. ------ -----5.----
This feeling Is growing in inten-
sfty. owing to the italian losses in
Egypt and Albania, and the unen-
durable conditions of life under
German occupation.
On the other hand there are
groups on the extreme right and
extreme left Of French political
thought whichNe lean towards the
idea of COLLABORATION with Ger
many.
That seems Very serious, if not
mad, TO the democratic mind.

NEW ERA CLUB

Miss Jessie Wells was hostess to
the New Era club Monday evening
and the program proved to be an un-
usual and very entertaining one.
Miss Wells and Mrs. Gray had
charge of the program and had in
vited the members to come and
bring their dolls. Over so dolls
were on display, and many coun-
tries and periods represented. A
paper on History of Dolls was
written by Mrs. Gray, and read by
Mrs. Frank Beckett. Mrs. Frank
Coulson told of doll owned by
Miss Ethel Cope, and sold to an an
tique dealer which was later pre-
sented to Madame Flagstad, the
noted soprano. Several members
told interesting things about their
dolls.
A new member, Mrs James Turn
er, was welcomed into the club. The
president, Mrs J. J. Christie, pre-
sided during the evening. Mrs. F.

LATE RULINGS OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL

Volunteer flremen are not requlr-
ed to contribute two precent OF their
compensation to the firemen's relief
and pension fund, but may do so if
they SO desire. Attorney General
Thomas J. Herbert, said this week
in an opinion to the Bureau of In
spection and Supervision Of Public
Offices. Trustees of the firemen's
pension fund may make contribu-
tions to volunteer and part time
flremen regardless of whether they
have contributed to the fund or not,
Mr.. Herbert said.
Township trustees may order the
construction of line fence only
when the place where the fence is 10
be built is not in dispute Attorney
General Thomas j. Herbert held this
week in an opinion to Harry A.
Mettler, Athens county prosecutor.
No power or authority is vested in
township trustees to settle boundary
line disputes, Mr.. Herbert said. The
question arose, Mr.. Mettler said,
when a farmer had a survey made of
bis farm and relocated his portion
of the line fence upon the lands of
his neighbor. The neighbor asked
the trustees to rebuild the fence in
its original location

may form such an attachment for
their master that they literally
pine away of a broken heart when
separated.
No doubt the sensibilities and rea-
soning powers of these animals are
underrated, and human beings, by
ignoring these qualities in their
pets, are oftentimes guilty of ex-
treme cruelty, when they give these
animals away or abandon them for
long periods. Who has not seen a
dog go moping and whimpering
about the house when some mem
ber of the family has gone away, or
has not thrilled at the enthusiastic
welcome accorded by the dog when
returning from a prolonged abb
sence?
We doubt il there is anything
more tragic than the distress of the
little dog when his young owner
has to leave him to go to school. lie
just can't understand why he is left
out of this excursion when he has
been in the habit of going on all
others.
The mind of animals has not been
thoroughly explored, and the case of
Laddie reveals that there are some
qualities about brutes to which su-
perior humans might give sympa-
thetic attention.-O. S. Journal.

Jesus Calls for Prayer, Luke 49,
for Sunday, February %:
This lesson consists of two para
bles, both dealing with prayer. One
addressed to his disciples on the
necessity of steadfastness, and the
ether to his opponents on the neces-
sity OF humility.
v. l. "And ne spake parable
unto them to this end, that men
ought always to pray, and not to
faint" Prayer Is something more
than uttered phrases; it is the gen.
eral set of our lives. We pray
when continually mastered by the
urge of spiritual things. Not to
faint calls for a devout certainty
that God is both willing and able to
save. That urge for spiritual things
needs to be voiced in word and deed
and is seen in action. The worth of
an uttered prayer depends upon that
spiritual urge.
We Saying, There was in the
city judge which feared not God,
neither regarded man." Because he
feared not God, justice was not ad-
ministered.
". 3. "And there was a widow in
that city; and she came unto him,
sity." This woman was too poor and
had too little influence to bribe the
judge and SO she resorted to the in
timidation Of calling on him con-
tinually with such words as "Give
me Justice"
VS.. 4, 5. "And he would not for
a while; but afterward he said
within himself, Though l fear not
God, nor regard man, yet because
this widow troubleth me, will
avenge her, lest by her continual
coming she weary me-
v. 6. "And the Lord said, Hear
what the unjust judge saith" If
such a judge will in the end listen
to the prayer of suppliant for
whom he cares nothing, will not
God surely listen to the repeated
prayer of a suppliant whom he loves
with a deep and enduring love?
". Z. "And shall not God avenge
his own elect, which cry down day
and night unto him, though he bear
long with them To avenge is to
vindicate. We who would be Gods
servants must be content to wait
Gods time, and while waiting, pa
tiently go on pleading, sure that in
the end God will vindicate his own
elect, which cry day and night unto
him.
". 8. 81 tell you that he will
ayenge them speedily. Nevertheless
when the Son of man cometh, shall
he find faith on the earth?" His
question really was, When l come in

THE BIBLE

1t is G matter of regret that the
Bible is not taught in our public
schools. Very few people Of mature
years have ever received anything
but smattering of the teachings OF
the Bible, gathered from time to
time in childhood during the few
moments when a Sunday school
teacher endeavored to impress re-
ligious truth upon their childish
wandering minds. Such efforts al
though never lost, come far short Of
that which ought to be done, when
we consider that the Bible is the
universally accepted authority for
human conduct and public morals.
Rev. C. A. Moore, the pastor Of
the Malta Methodist church, has un-
dertaken to conduct a series Of
studies designed to bring about a
better understanding of the Bible,
these studies to be given each Sun
day evening at the hour of the reg
ular service, instead of preaching "a
sermon. Rev. Moore was an educa-
lOl UcIOIc ue DcCdm0 d ullulSIcI. I1c
las been from time to time an in
structor and lecturer in theological
seminaries where young men were
being trained for the ministry and
is therefore well qualified to in
terpret the Bible. and to throw light
on many passages that are difficult
to understand.
Suppose you were asked such
questions as: Is the book of Genesis
correct record of creation. Docs
the Bible change its stand as to it's
idea of God. Are there any mis-
takes in the Bible. To what extent
is the Old Testament an authority
for moral conduct. The New Testa-.
ment, is it to be taken literally,
etc. How would you answer these
questions?
Those who have the opportunity
to do so will do we'll to attend
these services. They will be very
instructive to both the youthful
and those of mature years. A bet
ter understanding of the Bible, and
more thought given to our moral OBJ
legations is the outstanding need Of
the times, and neglect of this is
largely responsible for the terrible
lack in moral poise observed on ev-
cry hand in the life of today
John +. Gregg.
