Onion
FaHRcierS
Mourn

The latest thing in shortages.
in Detroit is the lowly onion.
And from the looks Of things
the city will have to do without
the teary bulb for the rest of the
year.
According to George E. Their
wechter manager of the Detroit
Union Produce Terminal. the
shortage is due 10 the heavy
spring rains that all but washed
out onions planted in Michigan
and Indiana, two big onion rails
ing states.
Many of the larger chain stores
in the city haven't had an onion
for days, and the supply that
usually reaches Detroit from Cali
fornia and Texas has been cut
from five cars 10 one a day.

for the related problem of transpor-
tation, through reliance upon divine
guidance.
Belief in the possibility of lack
engenders fear of it, which results
in the experience of lack. Jesus al
ways commanded the situation when
insufficiency confronted him. His
unwavering understanding of Gods
allness prevented his accepting lack
as possible; hence he could neither
fear nor experience it.. In the pres
ence of such understanding, evidence
of lack faded from the experience of
those about him, and in its place
Gods abundant provision appeared.
When he was faced with apparent
food shortage, he fed five thousand
men, when only few loaves and
fishes were at hand, proving there
was enough and to spare. When
adequate transportation was needed,
behold him walking on the water;
and when the disciples received him
into the ship John 6:21), "immedi-
ately the ship was at the land
whittier they went" That he was
utilizing an ever-operative divine
law available to all was proved on
another occasion, when Peter started
to walk on the water. Jesus refused
to recognize any phase of shortage,
kuowing that whatever the apparent
need, the divine law is ceaselesSly In
operation, supplying unlimited abun-
dance to man. Why, then, should we
doubt that all our needs can be
met today, not systematically, but
through the divinely natural unfold
ment Of the spiritual facts? -.
Repeatedly the need is voiced for a
supreme governing intelligence. The
same God who was revealed to
Moses, David, and countless others,
is on the field today. Those who
look to Him will receive His
guidance. -.
Let us therefore joyfully acknowl-
edge that the overlooking abundance
of ideas will continuously supply
those who Understandings turn to
God, not only with needful provi-
sions. but with guidance in all their
affairs In this abundance is no fear
full boarding or fear of rationing, but
conscious oneiwss with the fullness
of impartial. ever-available divine
