RADIANT LIVING
The Tragic Parallel
BY Rev. c. M. Griffith
CeciltOn. Md.

To me China has always been a
fascinating land. In the Yunann Pro
vince, way up in Tibet, for instance,
there is large section of territory
that once was high plateau. Down
across this there ran toward the south
in parallel formation three streams.
During the course of countless ages
these three streams grew longer and
gradually cut their bed deep into
that plateau until today their swift
flowing waters surge along some four
miles below what are now mountain
GUS ridges of tremendous heights
separating these rivers.
The thing about these three rivers
that impressed me was that while fol
miles they run parallel with each 9th,
err, they finally bear away from eacl
other until at last they empty theil
waters into seas that are far distant
from each other. The Yantze in thu
he Pacific; the Mekong into thu
South China Sea; and the Salwin in
to the Indian Ocean.
I have often observed lives lik,
these rivers, lives which after run
ming parallel with each other TO
years begin gradually to drift apar
until at last they find destinies radi
cally different from each other.
Tragic indeed is that life which 70
years has run parallel with the Chris
and the Church, with the Cristial
religion, only at last to verge to tn
left and gradually draw farther an
farther apart until at last, like
river emptying itself into some vas
ocean, to pass on into that vast un
known in which there is no Christ.
How much better it would hav
been, had such a life, like SINAI
stream pouring its water into an

HOT OFF THE CREDIBLE

If boiled tongue and beef are to
be served hot, they may be partly
cooked in the morning and finished
before serving time. When possible,
let corned beef cool in the water, in
which it was cooked, if it is to be
served cold.
Keep pad and pencil hung on a
handy hook in the kitchen to jot down

resulted in the Vichy government

mission to station 5000 troops to
garrison them.
The Japanese reinforced those
troops and then Withdrew them SO
