In other words. IL merely adds
10 the present requirements

Of the state of Washington.
One objection the sponsors ~
the bill had 70 overcome was the
fact that there are no adquato
text books on the history ot
Washington nor the Northwest,
for that matter. That was COM

was that who would write text

Il is for this period that Mr..

that the early school history can

RADIANT LIVING
NO Room FOE FEAR
By REv. Q. n. 6AiFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church. cecilton, Md.

Fear grips every life. We meet
it at every turn. We are afraid
that our work will not be accept
able. We fear losing our job.
Then there is the fear of sickness,
Of poverty in old age, and the fear
OF death.
There is no one of mature mind
who escapes from the attacks Of
fear.
Yet fear has no rightful place in
the Christian mind. If there is to
be an outstanding difference be-
tween the Christian and the nom
Christian, it is to be seen right at
this point-in the absence of the
domination of fear over the Chris
tian mind.
Study the Scriptures and you
will discover that there is no
room for fear in the mind Of the
man who walks with God.
The man OF faith believes that
God is each day exhorting him as
He did Joshua; Have not l COM
manded thee? Be strong, and of a
good courage; be not afraid,
neither be thou dismayed; for the
Lord thy God is with thee wither-
soever thou goestl"
The Prophet reveals the secret
Of a fear-free mind when he ex-
claimed: "Thou kill keep him in
perfect peace; whose mind is
stayed on thee; because he trusteth
in thee"
And the Master Himself, tri-
umphant over all fear, exclaimed:
BE of good cheer, for 1 have over
come the world!"
While the Christian does not es-
cape the attack of fear, he can es-
cape being brought under the con-
troll Of any fear by building up a
resistance to it. That resistance is
a daily trustful confidence in God.
Over the portals of his mind, the
Christian has inscribed these
words: "This is the victory that
overcometh the world, even our
faith"
