RADIANT LIVING
TALL STRUCTURES
BY REV. Q. Nj. GRIFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church, Ceeilton, Md.

Visitors to New York City are
impressed by the way in which the
towering structures of business
have vaulted far above the spires
Of the structures of religion.
Particularly are they so Impress
ed when they observe old Trinity
in lower Manhattan smothered by
overshadowing office buildings
crowding in close against the his
tofic church.
Today express elevators in those
surrounding buildings shoot you to
such heights that as you look out
from those sky high office WIN
dows you can glance down upon
that once proud church spire and
feel how shrunken into insignifi-
canoe it has been dwarfed.
You may rightly ask whether or
not we have here a significant SYM
bolisn. Is it true that in our cities
business has surmounted religion?
Has the check book become of
greater importance than the Book
of Holy Writ? Has the silver dol
lar cast shadow of eclipse over
the cross that stands upon the
altar of God?
You do not need to go to the
city however to find commercial
ism Overshadowing religion.
Even on the isolated farm, the
worship Of God is often, in prac-
tical life, subordinated to Sec
ondary place by some modern form
of the ancient worship of the gol-
den calf.
1t is not necessary in these days
to have a golden calf in order to
worship it. Today the spirit of the
golden calf may take on the form
of Sunday dinner, a beautiful wo-
man, or an illegitimate profit.
Whatever in your life becomes
of greater importance than your
religion has in itself taken on some
form of idol worship. Whatever
dwarfs into insigniflcance in your
mind the supremacy of the worship
OF God has become for you an altar
of a false god.
In the city of your heart, allow
no tall structure of self-interest to
mount above the spires of your
Cathedral of Divine Worship.

Famous Judge Of Beauty tells why men
prefer women with slim, youthful figure

cit isn't simply that a slim, we'll formed
woman is more slluting, more graceful and
can dress more suractively. Il goes deeper
than that When woman keeps herself
trim and slender, il means she has pride,
that she isn't letting herself go, that she's
young mentally as we'll as physically. Usual
iy she has more sparkle, more zest for life,

when the Ry-Krisp plan makes reducing
SO easy, can't see why any normal woman
need be fat and unattractive.'

it as quickly as possible" said Ad-

Hewlett said he was ready to

expected to study more definite
ways and means of financing the
work and give further considera-
ton to preliminary project plans,
