Under ordinary circumstances Gloria would

Church and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN

There is only one way in which the
problem of fear may be solved, and
that is the Christian way. When asked
about the trend of the times many
Godfearing men and women will say
that only a wave of Christian awak-
ening sweeping like fresh breeze
throughout the nation can bring or
der out of the present chaos. Men and
women of today must have present.
day Christian experiences if the more
abundant life which is Christianity's
promise to us is not to seem like
mockery. Fear will disappear the
day there is no more selfish desire
prevalent in the conduct of Christi
ans. Beholding the Quakers for the
first time while exiled to England
from his native France Voltaire ex-
claimed: "Those amazing Christians
who behave like Christians"
It is up to "those Christians" to
correct the things in this world that
are wrong, to straighten out the
crooked ways, and remove the causes
of misery from which people suffer.
This work may be slowed up by
Christians Withholding their money,
time and effort, by misguided prayer,
by unchristian conduct. eff God is
willing" is phrase used quite fire.
quently to indicate subordination. Let
it not be forgotten, however, that
God is always willing. We have no
reason to flatter ourselves by our
piety and subordinateness. Our at
titude toward God for instance in re-
gard to human suffering greatly needs
rethinking. The problem of fear is
our problem as much as Gods. Why
wait for God to do things? And why
criticize Him for not getting things
done if you sit back yourself not lift
ing a finger to share in the rehabili-
tation work.
That God sent His Son to dwell
on earth is clearly an act of love. That
was nearly two thousand years ago.
Gods love toward man has not
changed since. If you wish to have
a share in this love which indicates
that the work of the Kingdom is en-
trusted to man, and must be accomp-
1ished by men if it is to be accomp-
lished at all, you may volunteer to
make all your resources available,
and you must throw your full weight
behind the Christian forces seeking
to prevent the world from turning
into one vast blazing inferno.
So, the Christian way is a way of
love in which God is the power. We
do the good works, not because there
is law that says we must, but out
of admiration. We do it without eff
fort, without struggle, and without
thinking.

Incredible FOllies.
On July S the Department of Ag-
riculture put on program over the
Red Network Of the National Broad
casting Company and do you know
what it was about? The entire pro-
gram was devoted to promoting the
sale and consumption of oleomargar-
inc, which was pronounced just as
good as butter and much cheaper
incidentally, one of the speakers TAX
ing part in the dialogue called at
tention to the fact that uncolored
margarine was cheaper and that any
one could add the coloring, which
accompanies the package. Another
thing that was stressed is the fact
that under new standards promul-
gated by the Department of Agricul-
ture margarine would henceforth car
ry just as many vitamins as butter
The New York Times for Wednes-
day of last week carried a story to
the effect that firm of British man.
ufacturers and importers of steel
window frames and sashes had leased
10000 square feet of space in that
city. Evidently British manufacturers
are not experiencing the same diff
ficulty in getting raw materials that
the American manufacturers have to
contend with. Here, the use of steel,
aluminium, copper, rubber and other
strategic metals and materials in non
defense production is being curtailed
and discouraged.
Several days ago I saw a letter
written by Canadian manufacturer
of rubber goods to an American re-
taller, wherein it was stated that the
Canadian was in position to fill the
Americans need. I understand that
South America is being flooded with
letters from Britain guaranteeing de-
livery of products made from materi-
ais that we have placed on the re-
stricted list.
All this reminds me of the World
war when we were compelled to eat
bread made from bin sweepings and
at the same time they had more
American wheat in Europe than they
had ever had in normal times. When
add up the whole thing it doesn't
make sense. Again we are being TAX
en- for a ride.
Another Lease-Lend Bill.
1t is rumored that it won't be long
before the President asks for another
seven billion dollars lease-lend bill
to be given to Britain and Russia.
Harry Hopkins, the Presidents right
hand man, is now in Moscow, pre-
sumably to arrange the terms upon
which we are to finance Russia.
That will make ID thousand million
dollars because it is not many months
ago that a similar sum of money was
appropriated by Congress for like
purpose.
Why should we finance Russia? Her
combined resources in materials are
almost as great as ours. When we
recognized her back in 1884 she en-
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1941-08-07

tered into solemn agreement with
our government that she would dis
continue all propaganda work here.
Did she keep her promise? She did
not. The Dies committee has pro-
duced evidence that the Communists
in Moscow have been at the bottom
of nearly every strike in America
and the agitators were financed by
the Russian government.
We should let Germany and Russia
fight it out. If they exhaust each
other, as they will, it will be fine
thing for the rest of the world. Per-
sonally, l am as much opposed to
giving help to Russia as L am to
giving help to Hitler. If we are
smart we will stay out of it and let
them fight it out between themselves.
Wouldn't it be fine thing if Hitler
and Stain bumped each other off?
Compromise on Draft Extension.
Democratic leaders in the Senate
have proposed a compromise plan
under which selectees, National
Guardsmen, reserve officers and en-
listed men may be held in camp for
a period limited to 80 months instead
of "for the duration" and they claim
enough votes to put it through. Sena-
tor Taft has advanced a compro-
mise that is popular in the House.
He proposes that they be held not to
exceed Is months. The President
and the War department have been
insistent that they be held for the
duration of the emergency. Senator
Taft's compromise may prove hap
py solution.
Wants Price Curb.
The long awaited price curb meas
ure was sent to Congress on Fri
day of last week. AS drawn, the
measure contains broad powers to
establish a ceiling on all commodi-
ties, but wages will not be effected.
At the last minute the farm block
served notice that they were de-
handing a change in the proposal
that would forbid any price ceiling
on any agricultural commodities ''be-
low 10 per cent of parity prices or
comparable prices as determined and
published by the Secretary of Agri-
culture" Parity is price determined
by the Secretary on the basis of the
purchasing power of the farmers
dollar, in terms of manufactured
commodities during the years 1909
to 1914. The measure will probably
be taken up Immediately after the
draft extension bill has been dis
posed of.
