be interpreted chiefly In terms of
local politics and personalities.
Furthermore, the position of the
new government is unstable. Al
ready, the eXiled regent has made
an attempt to stage counter-revo-
luton. That was put down. But
several powerful Bedouin tribes have
declined to recognize the new set
up, while some high army officers
are reported to have resigned in pro-
test against Rashid's coup. Mean
while, British air force remains in
the country, under treaty rights,
though it seems to be diScreetly neu-
trail. Also, Britain has further hold
on Iraq through its protectorate over
the small yet highly strategic sui
tanate of Kuweit at the head of the
Persian Gulf. So, in case of neces-
sity, Britain has trump cards to play.

The Resurrection

The world needs Easter in 1941 as
it never required it before. In nearly
two thousand years there have been
few disasters which might be
considered comparable with that
which now aff1ictS humanity. The
influence of the strife in Europe,
Africa and Asia already has changed
the pattern of life for millions OF
people in the Americas. Before the
triumph of Christ over the grave
again shall be celebrated much of
the civilization which derives from
Him may have perished and been
lost. MultitudeS of men and women
are conscious Of the danger.
What panic might develop were it
not for the promise of the Saviour
can be imagined even by the dullest
mind. The pledge Of salvation which
the Son Of God was commissioned to
give to His sorroWful brothers nine
teen centuries ago still is a valid
covenant upon which mutual and
tolerant society may rest. Let it be
reaffirmed that it is the denial OF
the doctrine of Jesus, the rejection
of His philosophy of justice and
mercy that is responsible for the
agony of the race today. The pagan
dogma of greed and violence is eX-
pressed in the revolution which the
dictatorS have created to the end
that "a new order" of conquest and
subjugation may be established
under the helpless sky.
But it does not follow that the
cause of Christ has been defeated.
His mission was supposed to have
failed when He hung upon the cross.
The centurian who watched Him die
thought of Him as hero or martyr
who had been destroyed. Joseph of
Arimathaea, who wrapped Him in
linen and laid Him in the rock-hewn
Sepulchre, certainly believed Him
dead. The chief priests and the
Pharisees remembered His prediction
that He would rise from the tomb;
yet they did not expect an authentic
fulfllment of His prophecy.
Even Mary Magdalene, Mary the
mother of James, and Salome do not
seem to have guessed the Inevitable
ity of the resurrection. 1t was to
them that the angel said: HE go
eth before you into Galilee," but
they were not credited when they
reported the ultimate miracle to the
disciples. 1t is written that He
appeared unto the eleven ** and
upbraided them with their unbelief
and hardness of heart, because they
believed not them which had seen
Him after He was risen"
So is it now, when ages have
passed and the masters of nations
make choice of evil over good, He'll
over Heaven. The spirit of Christ
remains the great reality, His sacri-
flee the redemption, His Word the
key to peace. Perhaps the terrorS
of this present Easter may prompt
an acceptance of His teaching from
which freedom and fellowship
throughout the world would accrue.
If not, God help His children in the
hour of their final suffering.

The Red Sea

A history of the Red Sea would
be history of the world. President
Roosevelt, announcing its availa-
bility to American merchant ships
carrying supplies to the British
forces in the Eastern Mediterranean,
prompts a recollection that the
waters between the coasts of Arabia
and those of Egypt, Nubia and Abys-
Sinia have been an important chan
mel of commerce since the dawn of
civilization.
The Red Sea was navigated as
early as the second millennium BIC.
Menetah I, whose monuments are
numerous at Karnak, is supposed to
have dug the first canal from the
Nile toward the rising run. Rameses
II had a fleet which operated to the
south. According to Herodotus, a
Phoenician-Egyptian expedition cir
cumnavigated Africa about GOA years
prior to the Christian era.
There are twenty-four references
to Yam suph in the Scriptures. 1t
was over the Gulf of Suez that the
Hebrews fled before Pharaoh and his
hosts Whether or not the latter
actually were drowned in a miracu-
lous flood probably now is a purely
academic problem. Moses and the
unknown PSalmist believed the
story; and Gustave Dore, long after
their time, illustrated it convinc-
ingly, with chariots and horsemen
being overwhelmed in the manner
described in the fourteenth chapter
of Exodus.
Meanwhile, when the Arabs pro-
duced a culture of their own during
the dark ages" of Western Europe,
they used the Red Sea as a path to
India and Persia. The influence of
the thinkers of the fartheSt Orient
came to Islam over its waves. After
the opening of the Suez Canal in
1869 the traffic to Australia and New
Zealand, the Malay States and Bur-
ma, not to mention the Hindustan
peninsula, was directed through the
strait called Bah el Mandeb and the
Gulf of Aden That lifeline recently
had been relieved of Italian pressure
by successful campaigns to recapture
British Somaliland and release Ethi-
opia. American shipping could not
have been routed to Alexandria via
the Indian Ocean had those efforts
failed.
The color of the Red Sea, it might
be added, is due to a marine plant
designated Trichodesmium erythra-
cum. A German naturalist, Chris
tian Gottfried .Ehrenberg, discovered
the solution of the mystery in 1926.
Evening star., 1941-04-13

Good Friday with its seeming defeat and
lost opportunities, the Easter dawn with
its sunrise brought to mankind the DEM
onstration of a power that even death
itself could not master.
1t is not strange that the message of
that new morning has made each Easter,
through the long centuries, the day of
days in the calendar Never possibly in
the lifetime of living men has it's mes
sage conveyed stronger or more ap-
pealing lesson than 1t does today. The
world is once again shadowed by the
dark clouds of war. Nations, hitherto
friendly, have risen to smite and destroy
their neighbors. The fine things labori-
ously built up have suffered disaster and
destruction. All that men cherish most
is imperiled Despite this, and despite
the folly and wickedness of men, the
Easter morn breaks again and its mighty
message still persists. After the grave,
victory. After defeat, triumph After
all the leagued forces of evil have spent
their force, peace. Strike out from the
cherished hope of the world this great
truth and life loses it's truest meaning
and the hopes of men turn to bitter
despair and hopelessness. That hope
springs eternal in the human breast"
and that the high purpose of God as
revealed long ago in a garden and at
the dawn cannot be defeated, this is the
inspiration that once again comes to a
tired and distracted world and makes it
believe that the triumph of all that man
most desires must ultimately come to
pass.
Little wonder is it that the eXigencies
and stern realities of life find here in
this oft-repeated Easter story the one
assurance that after "lifes fitful dream"
there comes the new and eternal morn
ing. This is the victory that over
cometh the world, even our faith" We
have hope of better mornings ahead and
beyond the last upon which human eyes
shall open, there comes at length the
eternal morning, upon whose dawn no
slanting shadows ever fall.

Virginia Fee System

A proposal advanced by L. Nc
Carthy Downs, Virginia State audi
tor, to abolish the fee system of COM
pensating sheriffs and city sergeants
deserves the careful study of legisla
tors and the public alike. For some
months the matter has been receiv-
ing the attention of a committee of
the Governors Legislative Advisory
Council.
Mr.. Downs, who said he made his
proposal Independently for whatever
consideration the legislators may
choose to give it, has summarized the
shortcoming of the present system in
a convincing manner.
Objectionable features listed by
him include the incentive on the part
of the sheriff, sergeant or deputy to
make an arrest because he receives
a fee for his service, and may also
receive a mileage allowance. The
arresting officers in many instances
also receive witness fees. Further
more, sheriffs and sergeants often
have an incentive to place as many
people as possible in jail because they
get committal and release fees. In ad-
dition, the sheriff, sergeant or deputy,
if he is the jailer, may be tempted to
keep the jail population high because
Tho TOW t1oa nf f,ricny1nrc
the larger his income, and, while it
may not be exercised, the incentive
is there to feed prisoners at the lowest
cost possible to maintain the income
of the officer at a relatively high
level.
Finally, Mr.. Downs contends, the
system is bound to be unsatisfactory
to the sheriff, sergeant or deputy be-
cause he never knows how much he
can count on as income-and Is
placed in the ridiculous position" of
having his income depend upon the
amount of litigation and crime in his
neighborhood.
odldA1C PAOPooCo Wy NA1. oOWIlS III
lieu of fees would give the officers
approximately the same income they
have been receiving, as it is not his
idea to reduce the income of the off,
GERS involved. He believes the cost
of administering the salary bill would
be approximately the same as under
the fee system In few years, Mr..
Downs predicted, the cost of operat-
ing the jail system probably would
be reduced and the officers would be
in a position to receive higher sala-
ries. Exact amounts would be fixed
by the State Compensation Board.
The proposal advanced by Mr..
Downs may not be the proper solu-
ton, but certainly the well-known
evils of the ancient fee system call
for some remedy.
