RADIANT LIVING
DIAMONDS WITHOUT
SPARKLE
BY REV. c. M. 0RIFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church. ceciltan, Nd.

Church members are ignorant.
This is a terribly blunt statement,
not altogether true. But make
it to challenge you to face the
serious fact that most members of
the Christian Church could not
pass an examination containing
only ten most elemental question
concerning the contents of the
Holy Bible.
In fact, there are some who have
not seen their own personal Bible
for so long that they would have
to think twice to remember just
where they had put it.
OF course most members know
that the Bible speaks OF prophets,
but for them to give you any of
their names-well, it would be
quite difficult.
Everybody knows that Jesus
had disciples. There was Peter,
for instance, and Judas. But the
names of the other ten, can you re-
call them?
Just to prove that l am not al
together wrong in my sweeping
statement. reach for your pencil
and see if you can write down
from memory, merely three verses
from the Scriptures. You may re-
call, of course, some verses from
the Twenty-third Psalm or from
the Lords Prayer of Beatitudes,
but can you write from memory
three verses not included in these
sections?
This lack of knowledge of the
contents of the Holy Scriptures is
the reason for the poverty of the
inner life of the members of our
We can not live radiant
lives unless we possess radiant
truth. Just when we need the help
of the light of spiritual truth we
find ourselves in a spiritual black
out.
Yet the Holy Bible lies before
you. 1t is the one book that can
give, you the most help. Read it
nutil it discloses to you the secret
of a radiant joy in living.
Declared Jesus: aye shall know
the truth and the truth shall make
you free"

CARDINALS BEAT DODGERS AGAIN AS BOSTON WINS
Braves Have Won IA of Last 22 Games; Andrews
 Tames Pirates 2-l
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent

(Un1ted Press Stan COrreSpOndent)
 New York, May 20.-(UPb-The Brooklyn Dodgers were once more cast in the familiar role of rabbits in the National league today but the guise of hound normally played by St. Louis, has been usurped by the surprising Boston Braves,
 The pace-setter's part always has been difficult one in the senior loop and the Dodgers have grown used to cooking wary eye for the ever chasing Cardinals When St. Louis stumbled at the barrier this year, however Brooklyn seemed ready for runaway-that is until the Braves took to the war-path
 Going Great
 Bostons inspired crew may be playing way over It's head but the stratosp1ere agrees with them so well that the Braves have won seven in row, IA out of 22-second best record in the big leagues-and are hot on the heels of the Dodgers, only one game off the pace.
 The Braves stunned the Pirates twice yesterday, 2-l in II innings and 5-3 in the nightcap Whitey Wietelmann's single scored Johnny Mccarthy with the winning run in the opener. Mccarthy singled and put the winning run in scoring po- sition by stealing second. Nate An dgews won his fourth mound tri- lnnph by scattering nine Pittsburgh hits.
 Boston wasted little time in the nightcap chalking up three runs in the flrst another in the second and one more in the sixth to hand the Pirates their fifth loss in their last six games. George Jeffcoat per- mitted only five hits but needed help from Stout when the Pirates rallied for two runs in the ninth.
 The Dodgers displayed September slump symptoms by dropping their second in row to the Cardinals, 3~2 as Max Macon and Max Lanier, al- though neither were around at the finish, staged renewal of their l942 latc-season duel. Coakcr Trip lett authored the games deciding blow with two away in the sixth when he slashed out homer with Walker Cooper aboard.
 Macon, victim of all the Cardinal runs and six of their nine hits. left for a pinch-hitter in the seventh. Lanier, who beat Macon last year to boost the Cardinals into a first place tie with barely two weeks to go, yielded both Brooklyn runs and all six of their hits. He was re- lieved by Harry Brecheen when the Dodgers came within one run of a tie In the seventh.
 Reds Edged
 The Giants got only five hits of three pitchers-including starter Johnny Wander Meer-but scored a 3-2 triumph over the Reds. Man ager Mel Ott hit his fourth home run of the year with one on in the first inning and Sid Gordon's 4l0- foot triple followed by long fly by Joe Orengo registered what proved to be the winning run in the sixth Van Mungo relieved Bill Lohrman to stop a Cincinnati rally just short of tic in the ninth.
 Weather wiped out the Chicago Cubs Philadelphia Phillics game and erased the entire American league schedule.
