RADIANT LIVING
He Came Back A Victor
~ REV. Q. N. GRIEFETH
Pastor Methodist Church, Ceciltsn, Md.

On the part Of those who speak
lightly of religion it has gotten to
be quite a habit to refer to 1t dis
paragingly as just another way OF
escape from the realities of life.
These critics even go so far as
to classify religion along with
drunkenness and insanity as "one
more method Of initiating the os-
trich."
But those who have experience
in matters which pertain to the
spiritual know how completely in
error such critics are.
We admit that religion is an es-
cape, glorious escape. Not, how
ever; from the realities of life, but
an escape from those evil forces Of
encouragement and despair which
otherwise would overcome us
The escape which religion affords
us is an escape from weakness into
strength. II is an escape from dark
ness into light 1t is an escape from
ignorance into knowledge of
those powers OF God that enable
us, as the Prophet puts it, TO
mount up with wings as eagles, to
run and not be weary, to walk and
not faint
Drunkenness. affords an escape,
a temporary one. from the harsh
Of life. But it is only an
interlude before bitter awaken
ing, an awakening both merciless
and horrible, an awakening in
which the victim finds himself in
a situation even more tragic than
that from which he tried to escape. /
Religion, on the other hand, af-
fords an escape unto the noun
taini'--the monptain of prayer
upon whose heights you meet and
converse with God and receive
from Him, not only strength TO
receive the shocks Of life, but also
power to rise VIGOROUSLY over
them.
This was the experience of the
Christ When faced by a serious
He went by Himself
apart to pray. When He returned,
He was master of the situation!
Herein lies the secret of radiant
living. You now possess it. Use
It, and become. like the Christ, a
radiant Victor!

Newspapers And Morale

The Advertising Federation of
America was told at it's convention
at Boston that 1t is up to the news
papers to build up the public NOR
ale and help climb the hills of
success.
The American people in these
war times, need confidence in their
own powers, Just as a person does
in serious crisis. The man who
thinks he can't win in some diff
cult job. is likely to fail. Some
times the people get depressed
about their country It is up to the
newspapers to counteract that inn
prsssion, to tell the people OF the
grand things their country did
when II was weak, and how it now
has Infinitely greater power and is
perfectly capable of maintaining
its fundamental principles, and
keeping this continent safe from
attack.

POWER THROUGH FOOD

Nine hundred delegates recently
met at Washington in a conference
on nutrition. The purpose of the
meeting was to bring the message
of proper feeding and nutrition to
the homes of the land, with the
aim in view. of providing all Am
ericarI families with enough vital
food elements so that health will
be preserved.
People used to think that all they
had to do for food was to buy and
cook whatever they liked. If they
merely follow that idea, some ele-
ment essential to their health may
be omitted. They would better
study the food guides which the nu-
triton experts are giving out, and
find out where the defects are in
their own foods, which may threat
en- their sources of power and en-
ergy.

PARACHUTE TROOPS

Many thousands of Nazi soldiers
were carried from Greece to the
island of Crete by parachutes. The
dropping of these forces was com
pared to a vast snow storm.
1t is the hope Of our people that
no such storm of death and hate
shall ever descend on their land
At first it did not seem possible that
any such considerable force could
drop out OF the skies like clouds
of giant devastating locusts. But
armed with machine guns, light
ing in early dawn in some unex-
pected spot, such forces can make
themselves formidable in a short
time. The air was made by God
to blow health and strength into
peoples bodies, but the wickedness
OF man makes it the vehicle for
CARRYING horror and misery.

GOING no TOWN"

A slang phrase has been current
for some time, to the effect that
when people have some unusual
success, they are said to "go To
town" Like many slang express
sions, you wonder how 1t originat-
ed. Perhaps the author of ii
thought of somebody who lived in
some obscure location, but who
on achieving some special success
went to the nearest big town to re-
ceive the honors and rewards OF
successful work.
How can a community "go to
town" so to speak? If it makes
itself above the average in will
ingness to accept new ideas, in its
physical appearance, in its busi-
ness enterprise, it goes to town."

this rule, and eventually placed the
results Of her Investigations in her
book, Science and Health with Key

ing world woke up.
The field which Christian Science
opens before us is inconceivably
vast. Human conjecture has, as
yet, glimpsed but small part of
the change which it is destined to
make in a world sadly in need OF
some radical readjustment. And
Christian Science is radical. 1t
upsets human theories. breaks
down pretense and sham, skaters
conclusions accepted unthjnkingly
but pever investigated, and carries
thought steadily and surely from
provable premise. to prOxable con-
clnsion. Its basis rests upon the
Scriptursl authority that since man
was made in the image and like
ness Of God, and since God is Spirit,
man is, must be spiritual.
In this forever fact lies mans
salvation. This truth about man is
the saving power, or the savior,

If anyone is under the impress
sion that Christian Science is, diff
cult. hard to understand, may
disabuse his mind of that at the
very outset? Christian Science does
deal with the most stupendous
facts of existence; yet these facts
may be set forth with simplicity.
Jesus, the Christ, the greatest teai-
cher the world has ever known, did
this. Those who followed him came
In many cases from the humber
walks Of life, were unlettered and
unlearned, and yet so well did they
assimilate the tremendous truths
he taught that they continued TO
put them into practice long after
he had left them.
Nearly twenty centuries went by,
and then one who had long been
an earnest searcher for Truth, a
New England woman, Mary Baker
Eddy, the Discoyerer and Founder
OF Christian Science, while reading
in her Bible of the healing OF the
man taken with the palsy, was herr
self healed of a physical difficulty
said to be incurable. With this healr
ing came the conviction that all
the mighty works Of Jesus were
founded not upon his human per-
sonailty, bnt were based upon an
ever-operative, ever-ayailRble, and
exact science, Her own experience
had proved this to her own satisr
faction, but she must have added
proofs which would convince an
lnbelieving world that there was a
iefinite rule underlying Jesus
words and works, removing them
from the realm Of the miraculous
and supernatural to that higher
realm where they could be recog-
1ized as the most divinely natural
and inevitable occurrences in all
he world. For three years she de-
voted herself to the discovery of

Win War Last Five YearsY

Predictions are heard coming
from high authority that the war
in Europe viii last five years. 1t
is an appalling prospect for the
United States to face. The tides
and whirlpools of war have a ten
dency to spread, and our people
dread lest they be dragged in. Yet
they will fight like tigers if they
feel 1t necessary for the defense of
their country, or their principles
of liberty.
If the war lasts five years more,
it will have lasted nearly seven
years in all. The German people
collapsed in 1918 after something
over four years Of war. There are
limits to the emotional power of
any people to stand the shocks and
strains of war. These conflicts Of
ten end sooner than was expected.
