Leon Henderson has asked for a
lot of abuse-and he got it! But
there is evidence that the criticism
of his Administration has got un-
der his hide. In a radio speech re-
Gently he said that opponents of
nationwide gasoline rationing are
"either ignorant or Intentionally
traitorous."
One Washington newspaper adds
that Henderson's speeches should
also be rationed.
On Capitol Hill some of Hender-
sons most severe critics declare
that they will attempt to put him
out of business after the first of
the year by refusing to make appro-
priations for the work he is doing.
That sounds dangerousl On the

RADIANT LIVING
GODS NIGHT BIBLE
By REV. c. M. GRIFFETH
Pastor Akethedist Church, cecllton, Nd.

Look up tonight into the glory
of the starlit sky and you will
catch a partial view of the vastness
of universe of which this planet
is but a most insignificant part.
The spread of stars over the
midnight sky has always been an
open Bible to every thoughtful OBJ
server. Ages ago the Psalmist ex-
claimed: when consider the
heavens, the work of thy. fingers,
the moon and the stars, which Thou
hast ordained; what is man that
Thou art mindful of him?"
Observe that giant clock which
God has hung in the northern heav-
ems, the Big Dipper. Watch Orion,
the mighty hunter, proudly mount
ing the eastern sky on a winter
night. Observe the Milky Way,
that great mass of millions of suns,
lying across the dark heavens like
a bracelet of diamonds glistening
on black velvet.
Notice how silently those vast
distant bodies of blazing light
keep in their places. Observe how
unhurriedly, yet how accurately to
the split second they arrive over
the horizon. s5. .f as
Night after night, year after year,
century after century, they contin-
ue on unerringly in their courses,
without hurry, without dischord,
without confusion, without anxiety.
In the quietness of the starlit
sky can you not read the peace of
God? In the tranquility of the
stars can you not observe the SER
entity of the Divine Mind? In the
unfailing accuracy of their arrival
each night is there not seen the
evidence of Divine control?
Do not the stars tell us that the
secret of Divine control lies in. the
of ones hasty wilful-
ness?
Tonight God is going to open to
you again His Night Bible. Go out |
and read it.
The stars. will tell you of Di- !
vine peace which can be yours.

Fire Can Be Final

Millions of people will soon have
to walk to their Offices and their
grocery stores because the United
States is desperately short of rub
ber. And yet in single fire we al
lowed one-tenth of our total crude
rubber supply to go UP in smoke!
We allowed carelessness to do the
work of an enemy bomber. We al
low the same carelessness to de-
stroy hundreds of millions of dol
lars in property and thousands of
lives every year. The taxes we pay
to support fire departments, can
not protect us against our own care
lessness. Nothing can protect us
except a final realization that un-
controlled fire is deadly menace.
Once we realize that, the problem
of fire can be solved.
The National Board of Fire Un-
derwriters has published book en-
titled Fire Prevention Education.
It is written expressly for the use
of teachers, community leaders, fire
chiefs, public officials, Scouts and
civilian defense aides. 1t applies to
home and factory alike. For ex-'
ample, it points out that 40 fires a
day in the United States are due
to careless use of the electric iron;
the bill for. this particular piece of
neglect is $1,625,000 annually. Most
of these fires could be eliminated
merely by the use of an automatic
temperature control skitch which
prevents the iron from attaining
excessive temperatures.
And so it goes. The bulk of our
annual fire loss could easily be
averted. AL THAT is necessary is a
little individual effort, something
that too many of us fail to exert
until it is too late. And then we
never get a second chance because
fire is very often like death. 1t can
he final
