~OME people tell their life story in
an autobiography, others paint it
0-on canvas, still others record it In
music or poetry.
But Mrs F. A Murray of Bridge

life's history in many-colored silk on
piece of fine old linen in three years.
The photographed linen is 80
inches by 20 inches and on 1t are the
high lights of Mrs. Murray's life, from
her birth in 1881, in Millersburg, Penn
sylvania down to the present. The linen
was hand-woven by her great-grand-
mother as a fine sheet. and Mrs Muir

presume. There is a radical differ.
ence between faith and presump-
ton.
All Christians are subject to the
temptation of talking about being
strangers and pilgrims tHeb. II:
49, in this earth, and then planning
their lives and their business as
though everything will continue as
it is through all eternity. It is right
to plan, but every day we should
plan subject to Gods will, always
realizing that this may be the day
when we shall be called into His
presence to give an account of the
deeds done in the flesh.
Every hour of life should find us
ready to meet the Lord, and with all
in readiness, SO that our going may
leave behind clear testimony
of faith in God, and of consistent
Christian living.
". Be Honest-Without the Need
of an Oath SID.
A Christian should never need to
give an oath in the ordinary affairs
Of daily life. His life should be so
transparency honest and consistent
ly aboveboard that his word t"yea,
yea, or nay, nay"D will be as good
as his bond"
The Jews were accustomed to use
formulas for oaths such as those
mentioned in Matthew 5:33-37
They would have felt much at home
in our day when there is so much
dishonesty that people are constant
ly calling on God to witness to their
truthfulness. Those who have least
to do with Him and the worst rec
ords for dishonesty are most prone
to thus seek to bolster their word
What a striking contrast is the
simple yes" or mo" of the true
Christian. Let us make our wore
always good, because it is the eX.
preston of the integrity OF our lives

deaths - 1882 or CLIO per cent -
were due to what are known as the
degenerative diseases of the mid,
die and older age groups. Heart
disease led with 1888 deaths; can
Ger followed with 1874 and nephri-
tbs came next with 1,161 deaths.
There were 8S5 deaths from cere-
bral hemorrhage and 300 from dia-

The pneumonias, influenza and
tuberculosis, were responsible for
nearly 1000 deaths or IA per cent
of the total. There were 7O6 deaths

INCREASE IN TOTAL
BIRTHS REPORTED
More Babies Born in First
Half of 1911 Than Same
Period Last Year

Records of the Bureau of Vital
Statistics of the State Department
of Health show an outstanding in
crease in the total births and a
slight decrease in the total deaths
reported in the State during the 6
months of this year, in comparison
with the totals for the correspond
ing period of 1910.
In calling attention to the figures
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health point
ed out that the excess of births
over deaths was considerably great
er than for the corresponding per-
iod of 1910. Over 4,5e0 more births
than deaths were reported during
the first six months of the current
year; $3.50 more births than
deaths were reported during the
first half of 1910. The nearest ap-
proach to this years total was in
1888 when births exceeded deaths
by total of 1888.
The figures for the half year per-
iod for the three years were: For
1871: Births, 1928; deaths, 1854;
for 1910: Births, 1865; deaths, H.
1855. For 1888: Births, 14,174;
deaths, 1886.
The distribution for the first six
months of 1941 was: Births: Bal

IN tner aff1lctlon, and to keep himself
unspotted from the world.-James 1:27.
Spiritually minded but very prac.
teal was James, an outstanding
leader in the Church (Gal. 80; Acts
80 and the brother of our Lord. His
epistle speaks little about Christ, but
it reflects more of HIS teachings
than any Of the other epistles. 1t
parallels the sermon on the mount
and in that way, as well as other
ways, greatly resembles the teach
ings of Jesus. It is a straighttor-
ward discussion Of practical Chris
tan living.
There is SO much inconsistency
among Christians in their daily walk
that nothing could be more needed
than careful study of the exhorta-
tons Of James.
l. Be Doors Of the Word-Not
Hearers Only G:17-22).
Knowing Gods will is important,
but it amounts to little except to
bring condemnation upon us, unless
we do it. It is good to hear with
swift apprehension, but there Is no
point in taking about what we have
heard unless we practice it.
God is the ''giver Of every good
and perfect gift Chats literally
and wonderfully true). He has not
withheld one blessing, even to the
giving Of His Son, who was sent
down from heaven to redeem us.
His very goodness should prompt
us to lay aside everything which
dishonors His name. Wrath ". 2D},
all uncleanness of speech or thought,

and will 60, as we permit the Word
to take root (be "engrafted'') IN our
hearts and lives. Note that it is not
enough to read the Word, or even
to memorize it. 1t must take root
and grow in our life.
III. Believe-But Do Not Forget to
Work (2:141D.
Saved by faith? Yes, we are, and
in no other way; but the man who
says he has faith in Christ will in
evitably show the results of that
faith in his life.
James is not in any way contradict
ing the teaching of Paul's epistles re-
garding justification by faith, but is
clearly stating what must be true.
that faith which does not result
in works, l. e., in a manifestation
of a true Christian life, externally
and visibly, is not the kind of faith
commanded by God, and constantly
revealed in the New Testament as
the only instrument for the appro-
priation of the redemption that is IN
Jesus Christ our Lord There is no
such thing as real, genuine, vital,
living, Christian faith, except it has
it's fruits in the works of faith (Wil-
bur M. Smith.
How that faith will show itself in
the practical dealings of daily life
is graphically presented in verses
Is and Is. Pious talk has always
been very cheap, and it certainly
accompIshes nothing. Real Chris
tianity works.

more susceptible to these diseases in
adult life.
In infantile paralysis, or anterior
poliomyelitis, a cold, headache, and
general body pains may be among
the first symptoms. Paralysis Of n
or mor parts may be noticed very
early. Practically every case is a
history of severe headache and a
stiff b a c k T h e p :
lysis in the early stage is caused
by the toxic effect of the disease, but
the permanent paralysis is caused by
the destruction in the anterior part
of the spinal cord. 1t seems the a
mount of permanent paralysis can
be decreased by proper medical at
tention particularly if started in the
early part of the disease. New facts
are being found with reference to
treating the disease, and the doctors
are becoming more and more enabled
to offer a better prognosis.

All Time Low of 1863
Deaths from MuIuriu in
1910 is Revealed

An all-time low of 1913 deaths from
malaria in 1910 is revealed by Mel
son H. Rector, Assistant State Dir
ector of Malaria Control with the
State Board of Health. In an atti-
tude, however, that blessings are
not 'unmixed," this distinguished
engineer who has served with the
Rockefeller Foundation in Italy
points to the fact that people who
have never lived in a locality where
malaria prevails generally suffer
more acutely than natives of such a
region, and that approximately 1907
900 susceptible, %non-native individ-
uals are now qrartered in the state.
Defense PINS call for aproxi-
mately 10000 men at Camp Shell
by. 5000 each at the air bases in
Jackson, Meridian, Columbus, and
Greenville, and $4,000 men at the
projected Biloxi Air Corps Techni-
cal School. Additional hundreds of
people from out-of-the-state are en-
ployed in the industrial area of Pas
cagoula. The entire Gulf Coast is a
recreation area for military person
mel. According to Mr.. Rector, it is
urgent that all of these areas where
military personnel are stationed or
where they go for vacations be free
of the mosquito which transmits
malaria.
In view of this situation, inter-
sive malaria control efforts are be-
ing exerted in these regions by the
United States Public Health Service,
Wan Department, Work Projects Ad-
ministration, and the State Board
of Health. Plans are underway to
carry on effective %arvicidal mos
quito control work in all c~antonment
areas in Mississippi and in adjacent
territory within one mile of troop
barracks. The malaria mosquito does
not fly further than one mile.
: In addition, work of a permanent
nature also has been started. Con-
crete inverts r being constructed
in Camp Shelby in order to elimin-
ate mosquito breeding and thereby
provide more effective control and
at the same time obviate the need
for oiling.
1t is the hope of the assistant
state director of malaria control
that within a years time a relative
~ large amour of concrete inverts
can be constructed in the canton
ment areas and territory adjacent
thereto, making possible a CON
tinued reduction in cases and deaths
from malaria in this state.
