RALEIGH PAPER HAS
FROZEN CIRCULATION

Raleigh - The Raleigh News
and Observer announced an i'm
mediate freezing of its circulation
because of the limitation of the
use of paper.
No new subscriber will be ac-
copied until an old subscriber dis
continues the paper, the an
nouncement said, adding that
dealers and carriers would con-
tinue to receive the same number
of copies.
Effective this week, the News
and Observer also discontinued a
truck route and reduced its cir
culation by 1900 more papers be-
cause of the newsprint shortage.
1t already has refused to accept
increases from dealers amounting
to more than 1000 a day.
The newspaper went on to say:
"The lifeblood of a newspaper
is its circulation. The News and
Observer realizes that no one ev-
er thought the day would come
when a newspaper would not be
anxious to sell every single paper
it could.
"The day will come-and we all
hope and pray it will be soon
when the freezing O. newspaper
circulation and other things, as
well as all rationing, will be end
ed by victory"

Radiant Living
LOVE GETS
THINGS DONE
BY
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth

No one ever faced a more search
ing question than did Peter wher
the Christ asked him: Simon, son
of Jonas, lowest thou me more thar
these 2"
This is the question which the
Christ has put, not to Peter only
but it is a question which He, soon
er or later, puts to every earnest
Christian mind.
There is something in your life
which is loved more than all else,
something which always comes
first But no one knows better
than you do just what it is.
With the majority of people, the
thing which comes first, always
first, is sef. But with the Chris
tian who has attained maturity in
spiritual development, it is the
Christ who always comes first.
If Christ, however, has not yet
reached the throne of your heart,
you have not as yet really loved
Him supremely.
The reason why the Christ put
this question squarely up to Peter
was because He was about to
transfer to Peter the responsibility
of carrying on His work after His
ascension.
There was only one qualification
which the Christ desired
He did not ask Peter if he had
come from a well known family,
whether he had money whether he
had a university degree, whether
he had connections with men of
wealth and influence. All that the
Christ wanted to know was wheth-
er or not Peter loved Him supreme
lily.
The Christ knew that Peter
would have a hard road to travel.
He also knew that when men love
supremely, no task is too difficult,
no danger is too frightening, no
suffering is too severe!
If the service which you are
rendering for the Christ is motivat-
ed by a deep personal love toward
the Christ, then discouragements,
disappointments, criticisms, and
even failures, will not stop you in
Ipersevering on and on.
Love will always find its way to
accomplish what it wants to do.

Subject for Sunday July Is: Life. -
The Golden Text is: Proverbs 16:
22. Understanding is the we'll
spring of life unto him that hath it.
A bible citation from the lesson
sermon is: I John 5: 20. And we
know that the Son of God is come,
and hath given us an understand
ing, that We may know him that
is true, and we are in him that is
true, even in his Son Jesus Christ.
This is the true God, and eternal
life. A correlative passage from
the Textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy is: Up. 410) This
is life eternal" says Jesus,-is, not
shall be; and then he defines ever
lasting life as present knowledge
of his Father and of himself, the
knowledge of Love, Truth, and Life.
This is life eternal, that they
might know thee, the only true
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou
hast sent" Up. 496) Ask yourself:
Am I living the life that approach
es the supreme good? Am I DEM
onstrating the healing power of
Truth and Love? If so, then the
way will grow brighter unto the
perfect day." Your fruits will
prove what the understanding of
God brings to man.

should sit around in a yawning,
sleepy attitude, particularly those
collected in the shade. It was in
the midst of this delightful suporfic
condition that persons on the op-
