Repeatedly other men and women
have felt the compelling influence of
some mighty challenge and out of lives
seemingly unprepared and unfit have
rendered a service Of incalculable value.
Our age is calling, calling persistently
for new leadership in church and state.
A new kind of world is being born
new type of leadership is being de-
manded. Old ways, methods and systems
are proving inadequate. There is an
upsurge of spiritual yearning, an un-
satisfied outreacn for satisfaction, the
satisfaction of mans deeper needs. The
satisfaction of mans physical needs is
not enough. Despite the horrors of war
and the unsettlement of nations there
is the cry of the human soul. Again
the claim is being pressed; Whom shall
I send, and who will 60 for us?" 1t is
claim that must be answered, not alone
by those in holy orders, but by high
minded, deeply conscientious laymen
Formal religious practices are not
enough; the respectability which belongs
to active or nominal church member
ship is not sufficient. The pressing
insistence of new cults and ideologies
makes urgent a demonstrative and
practical application of the principles
given to mankind by the Prince of
Peace. Without such a living demon
stration the future is obscure and un-
certain. The home, the Office. the
factory, the forums where men are
striving TO plan for better days and
more satisfying living, these demand
men and women who live their creeds
and practice daily and in every depart
ment OF their lives their religious con-
victions. If youth will respond to the
call to arms, their elders must sustain
them by responding to the call to sacri-
fetal service
God is calling men and women of
faith to new crusade, a crusade that
shall secure to life its just and inalien-
able rights. The times are freighted
with great possibilities for good or i'll.
Will new and strong leaders arise to
direct events and to give to life a new
and better meaning? 1t is not a call
for excellng genius; it is a call and a
persistent one for men and women who
believe in the saving of the world
through fresh recognition of the prin-
ciples of life given to men by Jesus
Christ

DR.. Rieth's Mission

The peculiar circumstances at
tending the visit to this country OF
DR.. Kurt Heinrich Rieth, former Ger
man Minister to Austria. certainly
call for a most searching investiga-
ton by the Department of Justice.
The German Embassy, in expressing
"astonishment" at the arrest in New
York of DR.. Rieth by immigration
officers, reiterated the prisoners
claim that the business which
brought him to the United States, via
South America and Mexico, was
purely personal" But Federal Off
cials say that he already has found
time on this personal" mission to
stop off in nearly every country in
South America, repeatedly in the in
terest of convincing Latin American
business men of the advantages OF
the Nazi economic system; that he
falsely declared to immigration Off
GERS at Brownsville, Tex, that he had
never been in the United States be-
fore; that he deceived the officers
when he told them he was here on
personal business, and that. as a
matter of fact, his status is that OF
an alien whose entry is barred by
the Passport Act as contrary to
public policy"
DR.. Rieth is reported to have told
immigration officers at the Mexican
border that his New York address
would be the Office of the president
of a large American oil company.
This firm has denied any knowledge
of DR.. Rieth and has announced that
use of the company's office address
was unauthorized. The whole case
has puzzling aspects that should be
cleared up as soon as possible. II
DR.. Rieth entered this country under
false colors, his early deportation Is
| in order. -.- -H.

to have taken the six-year- boy
King with him into exile. If he has
gone to neutral Iran, this may in
volve a delicate diplomatic situation.
With the Mosul area still in the
hands of Rashid's troops and their
German allies, the British task is
not yet completed. Iraq is a sizable
country, twice are large as New Eng
land, and Mosul lies fully 200 miles
north of the capital
The complete occupation of lraq
by the British may have more than
local consequences. Once in full
control there, the British might feel
strong enough to invade Syria. even
against French resistance, and thus
block Germany's gateway into the
Near East.
The fighting now under way Is
something in the nature of race
against time. General Freyberg's
heroic stand in Crete has certainly
delayed, if not upset, the German
military timetable.

ANSWERING THE CALL
By the Right Rev. James E. Freeman d. ILL., D., D. C. L.,
Bishop OF Washington

God speaks to men in various ways
and through strange media. Life's
epochal experiences are difficult to de-
fine. The change in a given and de-
fined course, which issues In new
application of talents and gifts, is an
experience that comes frequently to
men, changing the whole course and
tenor of their life, thrilling it with
new purpose. Many of the greatest
leaders the world has known have
found themselves suddenly confronted
with new conception of life's purpose.
Sometimes late in life great transition
marks this radica. change and the
whole course of life is altered.
A man whom we knew as an invest
menI broker was suddenly possessed
with the idea that he had gifts as an
artist and without training undertook
painting. Within comparatively short
period he gained distinction and found
himself pursuing a course of which
he had never dreamed Another, a
lawyer with a profitable practice, be-
came convinced that life was not giving
him satisfaction and in the late thirties
turned to the ministry. His subsequent
career was a marked success. Such
cases could be multiplied. Some of the
greatest prophets and men of vision the
world has known have turned away
from their secular pursuits TO find them
selves the leaders of great spiritual
movements.
An incident is recorded in the sixth
chapter of the prophesy of Isaiah that is
pertinent. A national situation had
arisen that called for new leadership.
The writer describes the great transition
in his own life. He begins by identifying
it with change in the life of the state,
saying: Tn the year that King Uzziah
died, saw the Lord high and lifted up"
He then proceeds to recount the cir
cumstances of his vision. He found
himself overwhelmed with the con-
sciousness of his own unfitness, his in
capacity to meet the demands laid upon
him. At length he hears a voice saying,
Whom shall send, and who will 60 for
us?" Then comes the sense of obli-
cation and the readiness to answer the
call: Here am I, send me-" From the
hour of his vision he enters upon a
career of service that gives him high
distinction as one of the great teachers
and prophets of all time.

Motor Racket

An article elsewhere in today'S
Star discloses that the normal din of
motorcycle, commercial vehicle and
passenger car exhauSts is aggra-
waited in many instances by "gad-
gets" installed on the exhauStS for
the deliberate purpose of giving
distinctive tone" to or actually am
plifying motor noises Such devices
are, of course, disapproved by Off
cial automobile inspectors. Auto
mobile eXhauSts are required by
law to be adequately muffied and
any effort to counteract effects OF
the muffler or to eliminate it alto
gether by means of cutout is not
only an offenSe against the law but
against the peace and welfare of
the community.
But the regular inspection Of
motor vehicles is not of itself suf-
f1cient remedy for these exhaust
evils. While a considerable number
of defective mufflers and illegal ex-
haust attachments may be uncovered
by the inspectors, it is pointed out
that sometimes car owners circum-
vent the inspection by reinstalling
the offending devices after leaving
the inspection station.
Such violations can be dealt with
and should be sternly dealt with
under the police regulation requiring
proper muffling of motor exhausts
and outlawing cutouts. 1t is to be
hoped that Police Superintendent
Brown will continue to emphasize to
his men the necessity for constant
vigilance against motor exhaust
'racketeers."
