righteousness and justice may
suffer defeat after defeat but such
defeat is never final" stated Rev.
DR.. John G. Walker, Second Con-
gregational church pastor, yester-
day morning in his sermon, Night
and Day.
DR.. Walker said in part: Truth
crushed to earth shall rise again."
We may suffer sorry blows from
what seems to be an unkind fate,
but we have not finished the last
chapter yet. There is no last chapter
in the Book of Eternal Life. For
whatsoever is born of God over
cometh the world; and this is the
victory that overcometh the world,
even our faith" A Christian does
not necessarily know the latest word
but he does the last word. The
Christian may not have the latest
findings in economics or science at
the tip of his tongue. The COM
mentators may know, or profess to
know, much more than he does
about the state of the nation or
the world. Our leaders and states
men may or may not be leading us
wisely. We assume that the govern
ment will use censorship wisely and
well under most circumstances but
may also use 1t on other occasions
to cover up mistakes and blunders.
But the import of all this is that,
whether or no we have the latest
word, we have the last week. The
last word is with God. Insofar as
we follow His laws, insofar as we
live in the light of His kingdom,
we are safe, secure, whatever be-
tides. The kingdom of God grows
like the good seed, slowly, secretly

DETAIL FOR TODAY
Hammock

It is the practice Of many soldiers
to take HAMMOCKS into the field
with them. Perhaps it Is their way
of making it obvious that they
prefer the Navy, but were drafted
before they had a chance to make
a choice. In some climates, Sleep
ing on the ground is not particu-
Iarly healthful, due to various and
sundry creeping, crawling crea-
lures that infest the area. 1t Is
here that the HAMMOCK comes
into its own and is really appre-
ciated.

Boston, March e.-CUp) -plucky
Phil Terranova Of New York puts
his MIA featherweight crown on
the line this week In q l5-round
bout at Boston Garden with Sal
Bartolo Of East Boston to top New
Englands flstic bill-of.fare.
The bout marks the third time
within IL months that a feather
weight title has been at stake In
q Boston ring and the second time
that Barotolo has played the cllal-
lenger's role. The MIA title was
successfully defended here by Jackie
Callura and New YORKSHIRE king
Willie Pep also kept his crown
when Bartolo made his flrst bid for
fame.
Terranova, who had been barn
storming since he captured the title
from Callura OF New Orleans last
Aug. 10, was favored TO retain his
crown. Experts believed that the
stamina ana solid punching Of the
plump, pint-si1ed Bronx bomber will
prove too much for Bartolo. o slick
aud speedy pllncher who has trou-
bio making l26 pounds.
This theory apparently was borne
out In Bartolo's two battles with
Pep. In an overweight match, the
East Boston boxer gave the cham
pion O rough evening but when
forced to make the weight for O title
shot was only o shell Of q Aghter.
Big Crowd
With retlnue Of trainers and

rived here today to begin q Anal
tuneup for the fight that may draw
10000 fans. Sine egraduatins from
the amateur ranks two years ago,
the champion has dropped only two
bouts In about 90 fights.
The bout will mark Terranova's
