.acred In the j. of God. Hunger
is natural, God made man that way.
He gets hungry on the Sabbath day,
SO he must have food on that day.
The Sabbath was made to serve him.
and he must not be harmed or him
dered by his servant.
Now, someone will say: That
means / can do what / like on the
Sabbath-or the Lords Day." No,
!, does not. What you need is right.
What you desire may not be. You
are more than an animal, so you
must have more than physical rest
and recreation on Sunday. You are
more than a mental being, hence
you need more than culture-read-
ing. music or friendship on that day.
You are spiritual being and must
have fellowship with God.
See how nicely it all balances up
when we 60 Gods way. Then noth-
ing that concerns US is common or

ii. Silent Hatred (3:1-6.
Open criticism is bad, but II be-
comes worse when it is hidden IN
the heart of a watching man ". %,
one who looks for his opportunity to
strike.
The scene is most dramatic one.
Jesus came into the synagogue on
the Sabbath day as was His Gus
tom. tBy the way, is it your GUS
tom to go to church on Sunday?) In
that synagogue was a man with
withered hand Here occurs one of
those incidental things, which are SO
full of beauty in these narratives.
Seeking to find accusation against
Him, His enemies nevertheless all
unconsciously paid Him a supreme
compliment. They associated Him
Immediately. not with the chief seat
of the synagogue. but with the most
needy man in the crowd"
They watched Him" ". %. The
air was full of silent, malicious, cum
ming hatred. Jesus faced them with
an alternative SO high, so holy and
exacting that they dared not speak.
He pointed out that we either do
good or harm, heal or kill, by our
response to human need 1t can
not be ignored. What would they
do with it? Keep their strict ..fan-
made regulations, or honor God by
helping a needy one on the Sabbath?
They dared not answer.
Then He healed the man. He did
not touch him. He did not do any
work, except miraculous healing.
But it was enough. The Herodians
and the Pharisees, who hated each
other, now became friends because
they both hated Jesus.
What an awful picture of what
may be in the human heart, even in
the Lords house on the day of wor-
ship. What was in your heart when
you last went into the church? Love
and a desire for. the good of your
neighbor. or hatred and malice?
Here again our Lord declared the
dignity of man in the plan of God,
and placed his need above the keep

terested in the help we can give, and
too fearful Of the criticism of others.

Bargains In Flying Fortresses

The Boeing Aircraft Company increased its pro-
duction of Flying Fortresses hundred and fortysx
percent in 1943 delivering them to the Government at
onea the contract price at the time of Pearl Harbor
President E. G. johnson also points out that his
company voluntarily notified the Government early in
1943 that contract the established price would
be reduced by $120,000000.
This reduction was made notwithstanding twenty
percent increase in labor rates since Pearl Harbor
and changes made necessary by the war; The
company points out, however, that fortresses
built with one-third the man-hours formerly required.

Criticism and opposition was the
constant lot of our Lord as He gave
Himself in His labor of love for man.
kind. 1t follows His disciples to this
day, for men seem to have not only
ingratitude, but an evil spirit which
rewards kindness with hard words
and unjust accusation.
The scribes and Pharisees had al
ready found ground for their COM
plant, for He had eaten with pub
licans and sinners" (2:16). The fact
that He went there to win Matthew
and to heal the sinsick Gid made
no difference. Then they wanted to
know why His disciples did not OBJ
serve a fast (2:18) in the solemn
way they should. How could they,
when the Lord was in their midst?
They were joyful.
In our lesson we find these hating,
watching enemies of our Lords
showing their bitterness in two
ways. q
1. Open Accusation (2:23-28.
They got at Him this time through
His beloved disciples. 1t was the
indirect approach so often used
by cowardly people who want to hurt
someone, but who dare not face him
squarely. They spread evil reports
or unkind criticism about a loved
one. and thus wound the one they
hate.
Their accusation was, however, in
sense a direct one. They claimed
that He was the one who had per-
mitted His disciples to violate the
Sabbath law by plucking and rub
bing the ears of corn to prepare
them to be eaten. In other words,
He had allowed them to do a secular
thing on a sacred day and thus to
violate the holiness of the Sabbath.
What they did was not wrong, but
they did it on the wrong day. said
these critics.
Jesus met the charge by reaffirm-
ing the high viewpoint of God con-
cerning man. We have lowered our
conception of mans position, while
at the same time exalting his unde-
pendable judgment.

Status of F0scisn,
In Spain


One of the things that was not dis
eussed by the big Three" or the
big Four" in the recent meetings
at Cairo and Teheran, as far as the
world knows. was Spain.
The President. in answer to a
direct question when he returned,
said he did not see Franco. He ad-
mitted, however, that something de-
layed his return. He never said
what.
There have been signs that some
one has been whispering into Gen.
eralissimo Frances ear just the
same.
He has disbanded the Fa1angists.
They are the uniformed party men,
bers, a real military and hard-hsted
bunch of uniformed fascists, the ac-
tive party members Of the Spanish
fascismo.
saw few in Spain. They were
polite to me as foreigner but they
were not pleasant people. The ones
/ met in the ranks were raw, un-
tutored youths, anxious for tips;
glad, l would imagine, in that
wrecked nation. to get food and a
suit of clothes from the government.
There is nothing more hardboiled,
Of course, than a hardboiled youth.
Take away from him the decent out
lets for his animal spirits-on the
ball field, in the school yard, any,
where where he can whoop and hol-
ler and be himsef-and what hap
pens? A terrific, pent-up force. all
the primitive emotions seeking an
outlet. The Nazis and the fascists
knew this and their strength is still
in the strength of the youth they
perverted: the primal instincts Of
the caveman. which lurk within all
of us, turned to the base uses OF
the party.
Well. Spain. nation of individu-
alists. has at last been able to shake
itself loose from part of this bond
age. The iron hand of Hitler, and
the now withered hand of Mussolini,
have been withdrawn. Spanish fas-
cismo is almost an empty shell.
It Is an axiom that fascism can
only live on blood. the blood of its
enemies and when they are not
within reach. its own people. 1t has
no other sustenance-it represents
that group which, in the lower ami
mails. produces the outlawed, the To-
coed, the mad. We have these phe-
nomena among the wolves, among
elephants, even among horses-the
bad elephant" the tiger which kills
for pleasure and not for food.
StorUed to Death
So Spanish fascism has been
starved to death and the essential,
decent instincts of civilized man are
again coming to the surface.
In this great struggle Of the ideolo-
gies, il has taken force to beat down
force. 1t has taken a realization
that human beings, banded together
in an honest cause, have a chance
against the beast, only if they can
outwit him at his own game. Once
the active element of evil is con-
quered, the natural decencies Of the
civilized man rise again and domi-
nate.

A fuller realization of this prob
lem may make it easier for Ameri-
cans to understand why, after his
latest trip to Europe, the President
is in sober mien, why the high
army officials and the civilians who
know this problem intimately, hope
that civilian America will not wax
overconfident on the eve of military
victory.

Take A Tip From The Pilgrims And
Shoot Your Own Thanksgiving Game
Turkeys, Ducks and Geese Are
War Casualty for This
Thanksgiving
Only Chance for Those Who
Don't Want Chicken Is to
Shoot a Pheasant

The traditional turkey gobbler will
be a wartime casualty again this
Thanksgiving and Bluffton area resi-
dents may have to take a page out
of the old Pilgrims book if they
want a bird for their holiday dinner.
With the turkey supply virtually
nonresident, and ducks and geese
equally as scarce, the surest way to
get fowl other than chicken for
the Thanksgiving table is to take a
gun and go out into the field in
search of pheasant.
This modern version of early Pill
grim Thanksgiving hunting parties
differs only in that our forefathers
were able to shoot wild turkeys
whereas today's hunters must be
content with pheasants, or if they
are fortunate perhaps bag a few
partridge.
