PASTURES
BY Rev. c. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

When person is in trouble, he
sometimes feels that it would be
such a relief if he could only talk
it all over with some friend who
would understand.
If you should be feeling this way
about some oppressive burden
which you are carrying, about some
serious matter to which you must
give your attention, about some
most important decision that you
must make, why not go aside,
apart from everyone else, where
you can not be disturbed, and talk
it all over with God? He has a
willing ear, most sympathetic
heart, and mind that is filed with
the greatest of wisdom
After you have talked the matter
over with Him most thoroughly,
most sincerely, you will be surpris-
ed at what happens. You will dis
cover that your problem is becom-
ing clarified in your own mind. You
may see it in an entirely different
light or from an entirely different
point of view. But best of all, you
will find God helping you in most
amazing way
He may suggest to you at once
the right solution. Or He may give
you a "hunch" that will put you on
the right track. Or He may assure
you by some deep impression that
the solution will present itself at
the proper time.
Divine Guidance is a blessed real
| ity. II is a great privilege. It is
most valuable asset. Why not
avail yourself more of its helpful
ness?
A certain writer says: I'VE fail
not because our resources fail, but
because we fail to link up with
them completely"
Here is one of the great resourc-
es to which we should link up
completely" 1t is the wise guild
ance of the Shepherd God.
Radiant indeed is the man who
can so break away from under the
burdens of life as to be able to fol-
low the guidance of the Divine
Shepherd to those green pastures
of confidence where, as he lies
down in complete relaxation, hs
finds his soul restored!

Future if Nuzis Win

ISolationiSm was asSailed and prob
lens of establishing better inter-
American relations were discussed at
the luncheon of the 18th annual
conference of the Catholic ASsocia-
ton for International Peace at
Trinity College today.
The conference, in its second day.
held other discussion meetings, all
centered around the general subject
Americas Peace Aims"
DR.. Charles G.. Fenwick. a men,
Der of the Inter- American Neutrality
from Rio de Janeiro, said most
people in the United States find it
different to understand that the
term continental solidarity" means
little to people of South America.
Close Bonds With Europe.
The idea of partitioning law and
morality by continents has never
made any great appeal to them" ;"
he said. Their social and economic
bonds with Europe are far closer
than ours are. Their religious in
heritances and their legal traditions
all tie them to Europe. They have
been accustomed to sell most of their
goods in Europe Hence it meant
little to them when plans for re-
gional federation were announced"
DR.. Fenwick painted a dark fu-
ture for South American nations if
Germany wins the war, saying 1t
would mean enforced barter and
"the opening wedge for Nazi propa-
ganda so highly organized and sys-
tematized that it is doubtful wheth-
er it can be effectively resisted even
by governments which fundament-
ally abhor it."
MOntavOn Speaks.
William M. Montavon, K. S. c., OF
the National Catholic Welfare Con-
staff of Nelson Rockefeller, cultural
relations co-ordinator for the Amer
ican republics, explained that the
problem of establishing better re-
lations with South America is not
one that can be won by "the tricks
of a card sharper" He spoke of
the mutual interests of the two con-
tinents and said there is discussion
of sending a Catholic hour to South
America by short-wave radio.
For its own security and for world
peace in the future, the United
States must resolve forever to absn-
don isolationism, DIR. Francis S. Nc
Mahon of the philosophy depart
ment of the University OF Notre
Dame told the delegates.
Never again must we be misled
by the isolationists," he said. by
withdrawing from the world at large
the United States helped bring
about the conditions that caused the
European war" He cited refusal to
join the League of Nations and the
erection of high tariff barriers as
two examples of this country's iso-
lationist stand during the past 20
years.
when the time comes to assess
remote responsibility for the pres
ent world conflict, the isolationists
of the past two decades will not
escape blame" he declared.
Following additional discussion
sessions, the conference was to end

Economy League Opposes
Farm Parity Payments
B. the Associated Press.

The National Economy League as
serted yesterday that farmers have
no case whatever for seeking to add
additional burdens to Federal
budget already under the strain of
a prodigious defense program.
This contention was made in a
study of the farm situation issued
at a time when the House is con-
sidering Senate amendments to the
farm bill providing $450, 600 900 for
parity payments as compared with
the budget figure of $212,000,000.
Although conceding that some
form of Government assistance to
agriculture is required" the private
research organization said the parity
theory was "only a pseudo-scientific
vehicle for pressing demands which
have no economic justification
whatever"
