AUTOMOBILES ESSENTIAL

People often think of an auto
mobile as kind of non-essential
and luxury. The name formerly
given to non-commercial vehicles,
which were spoken of as pleasure
cars" tended to confirm that i'm
preston.
That conception of an automobile
is all out now. Statistics from Miss
ouri indicate that 70 per cent of
highway travel in that state is for
business purposes. Probably it is
about that in most states. Most
families need an automobile in
these times. Some people may think
1t over luxurious for the average
wage-earner to own a car. But IL
that car helps him get to his work
at a moderate transportation cost,
and permits him to travel off to
some shop in a distant city If his
own job gives out, it is basic es-
sential for him.

YOU
By T. A. HALL, Milford

- - a. AAhA@Afs AAA+@piQ
If yOu could look and see Hell burn
ing,
AND see. the flames of Brimstone
churning, 5
Would you keep on with your
spurning
The blood that bought you?
The Saviour's love that sought
you,
And I'm asking, ought you
Wait another day
Or a minute more delay?
For you just cannot stay
Much longer in this way,
Even tho you think you may,
For you'll soon pass away,
70 meet the Judgment Day.
Then there wont be ray
OF hope for you down there,
But you will curse and swear,
In desperate despair,
And scream and gnash your
teeth,
AS you wallow down beneath
HelPs flames of unbelief.
So while Hell's fire is burning
With flames of Birthstone churn-
ing,
May hope to see you turning,
With heart and soul a-yearning,
To the Sayieur's dying love,
Looking, longing from above.
Reaching out to you today.
O Sinner-Sinner don't delay,
But yield your all while yet you
may, ns
For someone cares enough to
pray for yOu, @4
That you do. 1t

RADIANT LIVING
INNS OF HEAVENLY CALM
~ RRy. c. NJ. GRsFEETH
Pastor Methodist Church. ceci1ton. ND.

You are quite familiar with
groups of little clustering cabins
along the highways for overnight
tourists. Perhaps you have your
self enjoyed the pleasant quietness
and relaxation of one of these af-
ter long trip along the traffic
filed highways.
In these days of wars of nerves.
days when nervous disorders are
taking such heavy toll of life,
days filled with countless fears and
increasing anxieties, is there not
needed along the highway of daily
living such times and places where
there can be found rest and nour-
ishment for the spirit of man as
we'll as for his body?
Many a person, wearied by the
demands of life has longed for a
"Shangri-La", place of heavenly
tranquility, completely isolated
from all disturbing thought, where
there is no war, no crime, no greed,
no hate, no selfishness, no fear, no
anxiety, no sickness; a paradise Of
JOY where lIle warm iitS-StflH6 sun
of Infinite Love perpetually shines.
Have you wished for such place
where you can "get away from it
alI and bask undisturbed in the
contemplation of the beauty, the
wealth. and the glories OF the
Spirit?
Thank God, there are such
places! l like to think of them as
the Inns of Heavenly Calm.
Such Inns are scattered all
along the highway of daily life.
They are those snatched moments
of meditation on spiritual thoughts.
They are those little rest periods
devoted to prayer. They are those
few moments spent in reading the
Scriptures. Or it may be an hour
spent at Church.
Stop frequently at these Inns of
Heavenly Calm and you will find
such refreshment Of spirit that
your journey Of life will become
radiant with ioyousnessl

GOD AND THE WAR

One question frequently asked Is
this, why does not God do some-
thing to stop this awful war? If He
is all wise, He will see that this
war is the most awful thing that
ever happened, and If He is all
powerful. He could find some way
to stop It."
The mysteries of Gods govern
ment of the world are beyond all
human knowledge. So long as hu~
man freedom exists, many wicked
things are going. to be done CON
trary to all laws of God and man
The divine power could not stop
those things, unless it abolished
human freedom. We can assume
that God permits human freedom,
as the only way by which the race
can progress upward.
So His free men on earth do Just
as they choose; whether good or III
God asks them to learn from ex-
perience, and one would think, afr
ter all they. have seen in this war,
that they would so learn.

Steel Operations
Ease Slightly

NEW YORK. July 3.-Steel in.
got production last week failed 10
reach the 1913 per cent average
reported in the schedule for the
period by the American Iron and
Steel Institute. AS a matter OF
fact. actual output showed a small
decrease from the preceding week.
The drop was accounted for
mainly by a decline of about
points in activities of subsidiaries
of United States Steel Corpora
ton. Some plants of the company
were affected toward the end of
the week by extremely hot wea-
Their in their districts. Minor re-
pairs also influenced the rate. but
only slightly.
For the week ended June 30,
output of ingots is placed at 80 per
cent in the compilation by Dow,
Jones & Co., Inc. This compares
with 99la per cent in the previous
week and SO per cent two weeks
ago.
United States Steel Is estimated
at 96l2 per cent. against 98i2 per
cent the week before and 97ia per
cent two weeks ago Leading in
dependents are credited with 101
per cent. compared with 100 per
cent in the preceding week and
9912 per cent two weeks ago.
