The Lord, he is God. And there
is none else beside him. He is
self existent and eternal, for back
Of the beginning of all things he
stood solitary and supreme.
Out Of absolute nothingness he
originated the first atom and
every atom in the universe, There
is not a particle of matter in the
heavens and earth that did not
come out of his creative hand.
He also was the architect and
builder of the universe. Nor will

% The Greater. In the fore
ground here as in the beginning,
God appears. In the plural Of maj
esty and Of trinity, Jehovah said;
"Let US make man." And man
was to be made in moral and
spiritual likeness to the Creator,
and he was to be set in the midst
Of the world as ruler over the
fowl Of the air the beasts Of the
field, and the fish of the seas. (2)
The Creation. Three times the
word Created" is used--that inn
perial word which means to make
without the use Of pre-existing
material. Man was, therefore,
new creation requiring a special
creative act of God. He was made
in the divine image as God had
proposed. And man was created
male and female for the founding
Of the race. go The Purpose The
divine benediction rested upon the
GROWING act Of the Almighty.
And part Of the blessing was
that Of work, for three great du-
ties were laid upon man. He must

and subdue the earth and thus
fulfil his duty TO creation. He

In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth. 2 And
the earth was waste and VOID;
and darkness was upon the lace

3 And God said, Let there be light
and there was light. A And God
saw the light that it was good;
and God divided the light from the

the light Day, and the darkness
he called Night. And there was
evening and there was morning

shall operate nor does any agency
have dominating voice in the
selection; and the final authority
lies in the officers and in the Exc
cutive Committee of USO. In
other words, the assignment Of
operations is matter of coopera-
tive planning among the six agen-
cies under the supervision of USO
officers.
The considerations which are
taken into account IN determining
the need for US0 services and in
making agency assignments for
the operation Of different centers
have evolved with experience.
The need for USO services in
community is determined after
consultation with local representa-
tives citizens and groups and rep
resentatives Of the Federal Sc
curity Agency. Factors considered
in determining the need for USO
services are;
l. The number Of persons to
be served, particularly those di-
rectly affected by the war emer-
gency, such as the number of men
in camp, the workers in new
war industries and related occu-
patiors:
2. The adequacy of local re-
sources, facilities, leadership and
Finances.
USO services are made avail
able to communities where q de-
finite overload exists. brought
about by the war emergency, and
one which is beyond the capacity
Of local resources to meet, even
with large adjustments.
In general, there are six factors
which are considered in delegat-
ing any agency to carry on one
Of these operations. They are:
/. Facilities Of the community
to take care Of the overburden
created by the emergency.
2. The religious affiliations and
other characteristics of the sokiiers

points adjacent to the operations.
8. The availability Of agency
personnel.
A. The character of the COM
munity.
5. What agencies il any, are
operating in the community.
6. Acceptability Of the assign
ment to the agency. In addition.

tors which do not lend themselves

often appear to be relevant.

God said, Let us make man in our

let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the birds
Of the heavens, and over the cat

over every creeping thing that

dominion over the fish Of the sea
and over the birds of the heavens,
and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth. 20 And
God said, Behold, ! have given
you every herb yielding seed,
which is upon the face of all the
earth, and every tree, in which is
the fruit Of tree yielding seed;
TO you it shall be for food; 30 and

How uS0
Operates
BY Chester |. Barnard,
President United Service Organi-
cations, Incorporated

The article this week deals
with Method of Designating Tasks
To Agencies and Organizations
1t was agreed at the inception
Of this work that the USO would
be responsible for the operation Of
oekain Federally constructed
buildings. The agreement with
the Government provides that the
uso may delegate to one or more
of its member agencies the opera
ton of any building. The rea-
sons for the delegation of work
to member agencies are two: LIST
that the agencies generally had
available competent organizations
and personnel for the work in
which in number Of instances
they already were engaged indie
pendertly before the formation of
USO; and that a major part Of
this personnel could not readi-
ly be transferred to new and
temporary organization satisfac-
torily; and, second, that the spirit
ual and religious services which
are definite part of the UNDER
taking for which USO was formed
can only be carried out through
agencies organized under the au-
spices Of, or affiliated with, the
several communities respectively.
The purely recreational, social
and material aspects Of the pro-
grams which are offered in these
delegated operations are not Pc
culiar to the several operating
agencies. They are those which
have been conceived and develop
ed by the USO and its agencies.
and which have been approved by
the Federal Security Administra-
tor. They are, most OF them,
common to all our operations, and
are the result Of Joint planning
of our six member agencies and
the USO general administration.
We are operating in 1921 cities
and towns and in As states and in
nine territories, possessions and
offshore bases.
1t may be we'll here to explain
the method by which the task OF
operating a specific unit Of USO
service is assigned to a particular
agency. In the case Of clubs at
oversee bases, in accordance with
the wishes Of the War Depart
ment, the operations are conducted
by uSO direct, and not through
any agency, by personnel largely
borrowed from the agencies. Al
to USO services other than special
services such as USO Camp shows
Inc, the assignment Of any agen-
cy is made in the first instance
by regional committee on which
each agency has equal representa-
tion. This committees recon-
mendation is considered by CEN
trail committee on which each
agency has equal representation
and the Executive Committee OF
the Board of Directors. Thus no
