What the world needs is a re- surgence of spiritual life in the hearts and minds of countless thou sands" stated Rev. Louis Higgins, pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Church on East Farm Street, yester- day morning in his sermon entitled, Deepening the Channels of Religion in This Dark Hour.
 Rev. MT. Higgins said ill part:
 The Book of Job has within it the srpings of a dauntioss faith in God. It is certainly good reading for people who are haunted and per- pleXed by the dark hour through which the world is passing. The wis., dom of Job is the wisdom of a man who has found steadying grip on life, not through ease but through difficulty. To be sure Jobs problems were personal problems. He was a good man, sadly afflicted with poor physical health to which was added the crushing realization that his be- loved children were taken from him. His soul was plunged into darkness
 Now our problems today are not entirely identical with Jobs. But no thinking man or woman, sensitive to the evils and suffering of war, can wholly escape that same sense of spiritual blackness which descended on Job. Today we are all caught in great spiritual blackout. Especially is this true of those who have been trying to walk in the light of the cross of Christ.
 "War is He'll" said Sherman. No doubt he was right. But he was thinking mainly of the physical viol- ence attendant upon war. He was thinking of demolished towns and burned fields of grain, of slaughter ed men and of slaughtered cattle. The red scythe of war makes "a hell on earth" for all who are caught in it's path. War is Hell", but its most diabolic thrust is felt in the spiritual blight which it casts upon the whole world, even to countless millions who are hundreds of miles from the scenes of battle. Almost 30 years ago it may have taken an old soldier like Sherman to discover that War is Hell". Today millions of little children know that grim fact all to well.
 It is because of this very blight that has fallen upon our world that we find new courage in these words of Job. They were spoken out of the spiritual heartache, which, by its very intensity, drove him back upon the resources of God. He discoY- ereth deep things out of darkness" Thus Job sensed the continuance of Gods purposes even at time, when to all appearances, God was absent from the human scene.
 What the world needs is a resurg- ence of spiritual life in the hearts and minds of countless thousands. It is not enough to simply be toler- ant toward religion. We must be re- ligious. For it is good will, mercy, purity of mind and motive, love, kindliness, truth, that flow through the channels of such lives.
 Let us move on Beyond the deep- ening of the channel of personal re- ligious living, we need the larger eX- perience of an ever deepening sense of community. There was day when low calibre religion could exist without question. That day is past. None of us shall see the Kingdom of God in terms Of narrow denomin- ational provincialism. Methodists cannot know God as Methodists;

market leaders generally held to a
downward course today, although
scattered specialties put on fairly
strong performance.
The list extended Thursdays de-
cline by small fractions at the start,
There were intermittent recoveries
and subsequent relapses. Losses in

SiZable blocks in the low-price
bracket again accounted for most of
the turnover OF around $4,000

Bullish thinkers found little in the

the national tax muddle and the ad-
ministration's drive to stem rising
living costs. The usual Friday trim
ming of accounts as a precautionary
measure against weekend upsets in
international affairs served as a
handicap. Individual situations and
thin" market enabled a handful
of stocks to climb briskly.
Two odd-lot, or 1O-share trading
units, U. S. Distributing preferred
and Twin City Rapid Transit pre-
ferred, achieved popularity. The for
mer was up 2 points to new top
since 1881 and the latter jumped
more than 7 to the best level since
1887. Twin City common also made
a new 7-year peak.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-Government
estimates Of record and near-record
wheat crops in Canada and the
United States, as well as total do
mestic harvest of all cereals ex-
ceeding that of any previous year,

Rejecting the Government esti-

tumbled about 2 cents.
Milling demand for wheat was not

LOS ANGELES, July 10.-The
Government today assumed virtual
veto power over any collective BAR
gaining agreement which labor
unions and aircraft plant manage
ment may reach in Government
sponsored conferences now under
way.
Paul r. Porter. chief of the War
Production Boards wage-stabllizlng
section. announced that the Gov
eminent would be signatory to
any pact. He described the action
as departure from previous Gus
tom. taken under delegation to the
WPB of President Roosevelt's broad
wage powers granted through the
War Emergency Act.
The conference has been described
as a keystone in the Presidents
drive to prevent imitation,
Mr.. Porter gave no indication what
sort of agreement the Government
thought desirable.
A sliding scale for wages, rising
automatically with the cost of living,
was suggested by the AFL repre-
sentatives.
The "escalator plan" would call
for a salary increase whenever the
Bureau of Labor Statistics cost of
living chart rose 5 points or more.
A demand for an immediate boost
of from 8 to IS cents an hour already
has been made.
1t was presented as the conference
went into its fifth day, with union
security eliminated as an issue.

Two Bower Birds
| Don't Get AIonq
| At Zoo Meetinq

Maybe Mack was a little testy
after his long trip from Australia.
Or maybe Mack and Wazza just
weren't made for each other.
Anyway, what happened in the
bird house of the Zoo yesterday
wasn't exactly love at first sight.
Mack and Wazza are a couple
of rare Australian bower birds.
Wazza. the female. has endured a
clustered life here for some time.
So when Mack arrived few days
ago, Malcolm Davis, in charge OF
the bird house. thought the two
birds would be just dying to know
each other.
Mack took just one look and
charged. What happened after
that isn't quite clear to Zoo at
tendants except that feathers de-
scended in profusion as the two
birds tangled. Mack was taken
away as soon as he could be grab
bed and Wazza was left to brood on
the futility of life.
Mr.. Davis says he hasn't given
up. He's going to try keeping the
two bower birds in adjoining cages
50 they can get used to each other
before he gives them another
chance at romance.
