IA Lesson
For the Week
~ WILLIAM I, ELLIS,

Fortunate is the young man who
has wise old man for an intimate
friend. and fortunate Is the old mar
with young friend to whom he car
pass on the lessons Of life that he
has learned.
Such was the relationship between
the Apostle Paul and his young con-
vert from Lystra, Timothy. They
loved each other as strong men love
Often the younger was sent on mis-
sions to represent the elder, and
their times together were occasions
Of happy teamwork.
Every thoughtful man and woman
should confront the responsibility OF
guiding, by tested and eternal stand
ards. the young persons they can
reach. II there were more Pauls
there would be more Timothys.
1t is worthy Of remark that the
prisoner-apostle found time for let
ters to one young man. Charles
Sumner is reported to have said,
II have no time for individuals. u
Then you are one up on the Lord
Almighty" replied his friend All
Of the highbrows who are making
graphs Of mass changes in society
need to turn to Paul, for he knew
and taught that it Is only by changed
individuals that . remade world
must come. The Sunday school
teacher who is quietly leading 4
group Of boys or girls into the
Pauline pattern Of life is doing 4
better service for the world than
many . rabble-rouser.
One change frequently made by
the Revised Version Is the use Of the
passive. instead Of active voice. In
the authorized version the opening
words Of the portion Of this letter
that is printed for study are, Thou,
therefore, my son, be strong in the
grace that Is in Christ Jesus" In
the revised version here, as in other
passages, there is significant
change: "Thou, therefore, my child,
be strengthened in the grace that
is In Christ Jesus" The center Of
the power is shifted. Strength is
not OF ourselves but impaired from
above. Not in our own might, but
in the helping power Of Christ, We
are to be made strong. The needed
strength Is to come, not from sell,
but from the All-Power.
Again there Is significant change
in our text by the revisers, who set
apart, as it were, . slogan, the three
words, Remember Jesus Christ" :"
Here we have Paul's putting Of an
all-sufncient counsel for every cir
cumstance of life. Amidst monotony
Of peril, In temptation or in exul-
tation, Remember Jesus Christ"
As Paul piled counsel upon counsel
for the young friend who was to
carry on his work-so soon to be
ended, as he well knew-he burst
into q pean Of victory, that sounds
strange, coming from . dungeon
bound, aged man, who could see the
executioner's sword flashing in the
near distance: II have fought the
good fight. I have finished the
course. I have kept the faith"

workers was this one: (Which way
do you think the working man has
the best chance of making a good liv-
ing-by joining a union or trying to
go ahead on his own ?"
The magazine reported that " per
cent answered "by joining union;
and IA per cent were undecided.
Among union members the vote for
unions was So per cent and among
non-union workers 80 per cent.
Commenting on this, the magazine
declared: "It is not at all surprising
that SO per cent of union members
think their best chance of making a
living lies in joining a union, but it
is astonishing to discover that out
of 10 non-union workers feel exactly
the same way"
Also, contrary to the propaganda
spread by some foes of unions, the
survey showed that 82 per cent of the
workers believe their local union lead
ers are doing a good or average job,
and only 9 per cent answered poor
job" while similar proportion was

Teachers Oppose
Hdsty Action On
MilitdrY Trdining

Washington, p. G. TLNS). - The
American Federation Of Teachers,
through its commission on educational
reconstruction, has declared opposi-
tion to any "hasty and ill-considered
action at this time" on adoption Of a
program Of universal military train
ing.
The committee declared its stand
here at a meeting which drew up a
resolution to President Roosevelt.
Present were DR.. Floyd Reeves, head
of the commission, who served as di-
rector Of the non governmental
American Youth Commission Of the
American Council on Education; DR.
George Counts Of Columbia Univer-
sity; Joseph l.. Lands, president Of
the American Federation Of Teachers;
Miss Selma Borchardt, vice president
OF the organization; Miss Florence C..
Thorne, director Of research of the
American Federation Of Labor, and
DR.. Robert Weaver and Mrs. irwin
Kuenzli, both Of Chicago.
The commission in its communica-
ton on universal conscrpition to the
White House said:
"The commission strongly favors
whatever measures may be necessary
to the national defense. 1t is consid-
cred, however, that the nature of
these measures cannot be determined
at this time. Requirements Of national
defense will depend on the character
of international as well as national
developments after the conclusion of
the conflict.
The proper procedure, the commits
sion further said, would be to ap-
point a commission to inquire fully
into the question and to make recon-
mendations.
"Such a commission should be com
posed of outstanding persons repre-
senting the Army, the Navy, the vet
erans' organizations, organized labor,
management, agriculture, education
and the general public"

Labor Asks More,
Better Clothes At
Reasonable Price

Washington, d. C. (ILNS) = The
War Production Board has been asked
to take action for can adequate sup
ply of low-cost durable clothing" for
the wage Garner and his family.
The plea was put before William
Y. Elliott, WPB vice chairman by
Mrs. Eleanor Fowler, who said she
represented not only the CIO women's
auxiliaries, of which she is executive
secretary, but also American Fedora
tion of Labor and railroad brother
hood auxiliaries.
Auxiliaries Unite In Plea
Mrs. Fowler presented the plea at
conference with Elliot, attended by
textile experts from Office of Civilian
Requirements and the WPB textile
division, a War Manpower Commits
sion representative and representa-
tives of consumer groups which are
protesting against the shortage OF
low-cost clothing.
Mrs. Fowler asserted that the labor
auxiliaries were united in demanding,
so far as that was possible, after
military needs had been met, decent
clothes at a reasonable price"
She reported that she had talked
earlier with Mrs. Herman H. Lowe,
of Nashville, Tenn, president of the
AFL auxiliary, and with Mrs. Laura
Essman of Kansas City, national rep
resentative of the railroad brother
hood auxiiaries, and had been en-
to make the statement in
their behalf.
Clothing Program Ineffective
She told the meeting that wives of
wage-earners could not see that the
first two WPB clothing programs had
done much to relieve the situation
and that it was their impression that
the third program, just announced,
was only slightly larger.
She asked more enforcement of
WPB clothing orders, stricter alloca-
tions and clothing rationing.
