RADIANT LIVING
HIS WIPES GARDEN
- nEv. c. n. GRIFFKTH
Pastor hethodist Church, Ctcigtsn, Ma.

A young couple were happily
married and had begun their life
together in a country home where
the wife had developed a very beau
tiful flower garden.
This lovely garden with its pro-
fusion of color was one of the
greatest pleasures of the young
married woman. Every day she
spent great deal of time in it and
derived increasing delight in the
gathering of bouquets.
Then came that terrible tragedy
-blindnessi
Among all the disappointments
and sadness which this blindness
brought was the loss of the enjoy
ment of her flower garden.
This particularly distressed her
husband. Then a happy thought
came to him. He went to work in
his wife's flower garden. He re-
moved all the plants and flowers
that were only colorful and yielded
little or no perfume. He took. out
the asters and the peOnies, the
marguerites. and the rhodOden-
drOne. In their places he put in
thyme. pinks. carnations. and roses.
When he had the task completed.
he led his wife out to the new gar
den and introduced her to the new
a garden of heavenly
perfume.
1t brought smile upon her sight
less face. Some of the bitter disap-
pOintment began to disappear from
her mind as she realized how her
husband was trying to bring a little
delight into her life. She thrilled /
with joy because she knew how
much her husband still loved her.
Love ALWAYS seeks to please the
one who is loved.
In what better way could we
show our love to our Christ than
TO root out of the garden of our
hearts all those thought-ha
hose i'll prejudices. those unchris-
ian attitudes which we are per-
hitting to grow there and in their
place to plant the more fragrant
spiritual thinking and loving atti-
udes?
There is something better in life
han mere color. 1t is the frag-
'ance of love. joy and peace.

Washington. an Advisory Bureau
on Fire Protection to which engi-
neers have been assigned on a
full-time basis. Augmented by
nearly 100 engineers from other
insurance organizations, they form
a corps of highly qualified fire in

available for government projects.
These engineers have made a total
of 1000 inspections of approx

jects. They have collaborated in
development of the best possible
fire protection standards in can

chemical warfare plants and stor-

efforts the fire damage could be
really disastrous in hard-pressed

gency methods of production.

Invisible BOmbingS

Industrial fire losses are mount
ing steadily. Typical examples are
a grain elevator in California and
one in Texas. Enough grain was
lost to take care of the cereal re-
quirements of an army of 100000
men for a year. A Wisconsin plant
making veneer for aircraft suf-
fered a fire loss of half a million
dollars. AaMaryland concern man
ufaeturing rubber and canvas foot
wear for jungle troops had a $780,
900 fire. And so on, throughout the
country. If enemy bombers were
doing a fraction of the damage
that fire does every day. a good
many people would think we were
taking the beating of our lives.
Fortunately, there are agencies
which are keenly aware of the in

is the fire insurance industry,
which continuously carries on the
battle of fire prevention Since

Reports drift back from the fight

of the men in the service believe
the government alone has been re-
spOnsible for production achieve
ments on the home front. Appar-
emily they feel that the government
has turned out the record breaking
number of tanks. guns and planes,
and therefore it should take over
industry, lock, stock and barrel
after the war Erroneous informa-
ton of this character should be
dispelled, even though it is held by
only a small minority, for it is
upon just such fallacies that the
demagogue hinges his appeal.
Private industry is producing the
equipment with which to win the
war. Private industry is producing
nearly seven thousand planes a
month. Private industry in this
country has done in two years
what the relationships took a dec
ade to accomplish in the way of
preparation for mechanical war.

assembly line that terminates on

and private citizens keep the line
moving. That is the fundamental
difference between this country
and relationships. On the other

the initiative comes from the indi-
vidual. 1t must always be so in

The Sheep in Peril.
On the wall of our home hangs a
picture of the Good Shepherd. The
scene is of approaching night and
storm. A lamb has wandered down
precipitous, bramble- covered hill
side and has become entangled in
the underground. The shepherd has
climbed down the dangerous descent
to rescue the sheep lowering near

herd does not get the lamb the eagle

This protecting power of the
Good Shepherd, who risks His own
life for the sake of the flock. is
one to be stressed nowadays. The
sheep - silly, Witless, wandering
creatureS-are in danger Only the
wisdom, love and courage of the
Shepherd can save them And all
Of His undershepherds must aid
Him.
This is truth for the times.
Humanity as whole is in grave
danger not only from war but also
from the wolves that have their
lairs in human hearts. A bright,
new world to follow wars horrors
is enVisaged by all noble spirits;
just as victory draws nearer there
appear many signs that evil persons
and powers are bent on a retention
of the old ways of privilege and
oppression. There is grave need that
the sheep keep close to the Good
Shepherd and His leadership.
For this emergency there is only
one adequate Leader in sight. Lesser
