A Country Girl In Town
BY WILLIAM HENRY HUFF

I saw her on the street did.
But She slipped off somewhere
and hid:
She thought l did not know her
At home this girl was over nice
But we well knew she had her
price;
She thought We were below her.
Today she's on the streets for
sale.
And often spending nights IN Jail
To eat She sells her body
In cleaner DAYS there was a rose
Upon each cheek quite near her
nose.
But now her face Is shoddy.

When a vessel arrives from for
eign port, the boiler tubes are
cleaned and the fire boxes are
scraped. The dust is then packed
in bags and offered to the highest
bidder. All bidders are permitted to
make chemical analysis first to
determine the percentage of vana-
dium likely to be recovered. The
analysis ranges from practically zero
in some cases to the per cent needed
to make the reduction processes
profitable.
Vanadium can also be obtained in
this country from the wide deposits
of phosphate rock which we have,
but the concentration of the min
eral Is so low as to make reduction
almost prohibitive.
Before the war, the United States
imported most of the vanadium

They have made it plain that they
consider the emergency, or as an
official spokesman for the United
States desckibed it, "a period of

other words, the United States and
Great Britain intend, as long as the
emergency exists, to take part in an
organization to establish and MAN.
tain the peace by means of what
amounts to military alliance be-
tween the two nations.
Prime Minister Churchill was
ready to sign a written agreement
which would include Britain's pledge
to remain our ally and continue the
war with us until Japan was beaten
that much he told the newsmen-
and he added, the President had
said it was not necessary, that his
word was good enough. Presum-
ably, the written agreement would
have included the continuation of the
joint committee of the chiefs of staff,
too. But written or unwritten, such
a pact now exists.
1t is, therefore, clear that the
President intends, if he remains in
office, to maintain an interim ar
rangement which will keep, this coun-
try an active factor in world af-
fairs to the point where its policies
will be supported by military action.
This will be of indefinite length, as
Churchill put it, until it can be shown
that better arrangement, including
all nations, can be found to sup
plant it.
In one sense, therefore, it is less

gress or the administration makes

during the transition period when
two of the strongest nations remain
united. The important thing, Of
course, is to obtain the cooperation
of the third most powerful nation,
Russia.
And that is what is on the fire
right now. Until we know a little
more about Russia's views and in
tentions, it will be impossible to
make a detailed plan for the post

With this lesson we begin series
Of studies which should be of unusual
value, consideration of the Ten
Commandments in the light of the
teachings of Jesus, and other relat-
ed New Testament passages.
1t is appropriate to point out that,
far from being outmoded, the Ten
Commandments are really the basis
of all moral law. They need dill
gent restudy and re-emphasis in our
day of disregard Of moral standards.
AS interpreted by the Lord Jesus
and applied to our daily living, the
truth of these commandments
should be brought home to every
boy and girl, man and woman in
our Bible schools
We learn here that our Lord did not
come to-set aside or destroy the law,
but to fulfill it in the most complete
way. But the gospel takes us a step
beyond the law, and it is a great
step, for we follow the One who is
greater than the law.
l. Built on the Law Matt. 5:17-
20.
The law of God is eternal, never
to be abrogated, never set aside.
Christ Himself, although we might
properly say that He was in reality
the Lawgiver and thus had power
and authority over the law, indicat-
ed His purpose in coming to be that
of giving the law its full meaning,
not of destroying it. One could wish
that those who profess to be His
servants might have the same meas
ure of regard for Gods law. If they
did, they obviously would not be so
ready to ignore it, so quick to change
it or explain it away, and far more
ready to accept with their Master
every 'jot and title" that is, even
the minutest detail of His Word.
Recognizing Christ as the fulfill
ment of the law should prepare one
to manifest obedience to every NOR
al precept through His grace.

19:16-22).

ing. as you and as ely as
either of us could, the progress of
the greatest military UNDERTAKING
which an American army has al
tempted in this war-the battle OF
Italy. For the battle of Italy is the
storming of the very portals of the
Reich, the outer rim, it is true. but
nonetheless, the first breastworks OF
Hitler's inner fortress.
Here, for the first time. American
soldiers, hardened on the harsh
sands of Africa and the cruel hills
of Sicily, meet the guardsmen of the
Nazi citadel Not bi-colored army,
diluted by a half-hearted ally, Italy,
but logged German fighters defend
ing the gateway to their own, their
native land. :
The end of the beginning has end
ed, the beginning of the end has be-
gun. And we who have watched
every sign and every signal as the
curtain between what we thought
and what we knew was lifted, realize
how little we and the world can
guess of the inner and complicated
workings Of this great war machine.

The invasion of Sicily and the in
vasion of Italy were planned at
Casablanca where, for "a hours, the
few newsmen who were permitted
to know, kept the secret of the meet
ing itself. Beside the historic wa
tiers of the st. Lawrence, in the
citadel at Quebec, the marching
orders were sealed while we news
men waited, blinded and deafened to
all but the most general ideas.
What are those marching orders?

What The Germans Hear

Here is sample of what the German people are
told by their Government in connection with present war
operation:
An official communque, issued in Berlin, refers to
the eastern front saying "Our movements are pro-
ceedng according to plan"
After the two weeks fighting in the Salerno area,
Berlin says this "dd not result in the expected oper
alive success to American landing formations,
and that the American plan of operations based
on Badoglios treason has thus been fully frustrated
1t may be presumed, however that the German
people know that the Red Army making continuous
progress in the East and that the Americans are
extending their possession of Italian territory. Grad
ually the Nazi populace will understand what these
gains mean to the German home front

Obedience to the commandments
brings man up to the very en-
trance upon life, but to enter in, he
must have more than the things"
of the law; he must have the Per-
son who is ''the Door, to eternal
life.
The young man who came to
Christ was rich. His mind was OBJ
sessed with things. He had made it
his business to observe the law, and
had done well w. 20). but his soul
was not satisfied. He thought one
more thing" to do would accom-
plish his purpose.
The general attitude of the man
was commendable He sensed his
lack of the vital something which
would remake his life. He came to
the right one-the Lord Jesus-with
his question.
His failure to go beyond the things
of the law to faith in Christ, how
ever, showed that he loved his pos
sessions more than he desired to
follow the Lord.
Those in our day who are trying
to please God and gain eternal bless
edness by works. by doing things and
keeping commandments, need to
recognize that in Christianity we
have the One who is more than the
law. They need to look away from
things to be done, to the great thing
that was done once and for all on
Calvary.
III. Greater Than the Law John
5:39, 400.
The Scriptures are great because
they bear witness to the Christ who
can give life. But obviously the One
to whom they bear witness is great
er than they are.
Paul speaks of the law as a
schoolmaster to bring us to Christ
Gal. 1920. The picture is liter
ally of servant charged with bring
ing the child to school where he may
learn the truth. So the law con-
victs man of sin, makes him con-
scious of his own utter inability to
meet Gods requirements, and
makes him ready to turn to Christ
in faith and repentance (Rom. 300.
These men of our Lords time
were very religious. They spent
much of their time searching the
Scriptures that they might find eter-
nal life. But most of them failed to
understand that the life they sought
was in the One who stood before
them-Jesus of Nazareth-and not
in the letter of the law.
This has a vital bearing on the
proper study of the lessons Of this
quarter. ''The time has passed
when men might seek life in the
Scriptures apart from Jesus. Now
that Jesus has come, life can be
found only if the Scriptures lead one
to Jesus.
IF our study of the Scriptures
does not bring us to Christ, then it
is vain indeed. For that reason we
cannot study the Ten Commando
ments without turning constantly to
Jesus as the One greater than the,
law" Uesson Commentary
