The of this country should thoroughly understand
the situation the original order had been allowed to stand
untouched thousands of retail all lines would
forced out of busnesssmp because they legally bound
sell goods profit whatsoever and few items
actual loss And if these stores to be kept business it will
unquesonaby be to increase price ceilings
siderable number of commodities including
as well food Gasoline provides excellent example of the
problem The necessity for shipping and other oil products
overland instead of by has greatly
pans costs That increase be made only of two
Waysby subsidies by higher retail prices
There much to be said for the subsidy suggestion would
temporary and would automatically be dropped
stringent price control is relaxed and goods again sold

Selects Burning Hearts
MS Theme Of Sermon

Rev. Or. Gnavoly IN q sermon ~
mo First Methodist church on
burning Hearts" spoke ~ follows;
nc was with n new understand
Hag THAT The hearts OF these disciples
Burned, Az the cross they began TO
understand what wrong "a IN the
hnht og what wrong does, There they
saw the wrong OF Judas Fscarict, of
gleir own priests and rulers; Of The
eorlbea and pharisees; Of pontlus Pi.
bate. And they knew that they them
selves shared their wrong, for they
were Of The same mind and spirit %
these men. Jesus went 10 the cross
Because OF their sin. They began 10
eao too that some such way 90 the
eroe was the only way they could
be delivered from moral evil. All
tn0n must see what sin 10, and does,
N that cross, or In the cotltempor.
cry crosses which IN every age ore
Visible IN the world before they Will
eufn from u.
John Masefleld IN his play "Tho
Trial OF Jesus" has Procula, the wife
OF Pontius PLATE, asking the Roman
guard who stood at the cross about
Jesiis, The guard replies HE was O
fine young fellow, lady, not past
middle age, And no was oil alone and
defled al tho Jews and the Romans,
and when we had done with him he
was q poor, broken down thing, deAd
on the cross" do you think no 10
iend?" asks Proclia. mo, lady, ]
DON'T" replies the guard, "rhel
whore Is hep" the woman asks. And
the reply IL let loose IN the world,
Ady, where neither Roman nor Jew
ean stop his truth" The light OF
that knowledge, dimly apprehended
burned IN their hearts,
And there was also the light OF
nope burning anew. Hope u the
strength OF the disappointed, the
consolation OF the bereaved. II 10 the
Yioor mans wealth, and the sick
mans health. it Is the prisoners
Freedom, and the soldiers return.
Deferred u makes the heart sick.
Renewed ono begins 10 live again.
The work OF Christ Is always 10

eats into sunrise" The New TeStN-
ftlent tells " TINT "saith II the SUBJ
stance OF things hoped for;" that
Hope n the anchor OF tho soul"
that 0od 10 "the God OF hope;" ana
that Of the three things that abide
enc "a hope.
I'VE must recover tho burning
Hleart--the heart that burns with
understanding OF spiritual forces,
and the heart that burns With O
