Sunday School Lesson

times like our own. It does not ig-
more evil, or the power Of evil. Je-
Sis himself did not offer His dis
ciples immunity from hardship
and pain.
But two things are to be said.
First, even in trial and sorrow
the worth of life and the sustaining
power of God has again and again
been revealed in marvellous ways.
Terror and horror have not de-
stroyed faith and hope in the dark
est places of Europe and Asia.
And second, we must recognize
that the Bible expresses the spir-
itual laws of normal life. Times
of war and terror are abnormal
lin the life of humanity, and life
as a whole vindicates the Psalmist.
II is true, proven again and again,
that right living does bring glad
ness, and peace, and sense OF
safety. Even where men and wom-
en- have died for their faith they
have died with confidence in God.
It is those who have prosecuted
them that have been unsafe, not
they.
And today we are seeing Gods
ways and Gods laws indicated.
We are seeing the powers of evil
overthrown and those who strobe
the world with staggering boast
ing and ruthlessness are being cast
from their places.
It is good time to turn to our
Bibles, and learn there the true
art of living, and its Christian mo-
tive and incentive.

twice has rejected bids for con-
struction of the proposed $125.O0O
incinerator, will re-advertise soon
for separate bids for the inciner-
ator equipment and the building,
City Manager A. c. Nichols dis
closed Friday.
No date has been set for open
ing of the two bids, Nichols said,
because new detailed plans tor
the building must first be worked
cut.''
At the same time, the city man.
ager announced the award OF con-
tracts to furnish the municipality
with new bituminous asphalt paw
ing machine and an air compress
sor, machinery to be used in the
construction of streets. The bids
were opened at the city council
meeting Wednesday, when study OF
the proposals and power to pur-
chase were referred to Nichols.
City Attorney W. B. Campbell, and
City Engineer j. A. Loughlin.
The Carolina Tractor and Equip
ment company OF Raleigh, with a
low bid of $6.790.32, was awarded
the contract for a Barber-Greene

antees that shipment of the payer

An air compressor will be fur
nished by the North Carolina

contract for 1892, as soon as
priority to purchase it can be
obtained by the city from the War
Production board, Nichols said.
The decision to re-advertise for
the incinerator building and equip.
ment in separate bids was reached
after proposals received on two 90
casions were found to be ''out of
line" in price. The bid Of $122, 500
by the Goder Incinerator Corp, Of
Chicago, was rejected last Wednes-
day, as was the sole bid Of George

These texts, widely chosen and
in various connections, all have
this in common-they emphasize
the spiritual worth of life, and that
it's only true worth is spiritual.
The Psalmist answers those who
say, whats the use? Who will
show us any goou?' His answer
in effect is, Give right, and you
will find OUT Offer the sacri-
fees of righteousness, and put your
trust in the Lord" In his own life
this has brought gladness of heart,
and a deep sense of security. Il
will both lay me down in peace,
and sleep; for thou, Lord, only
makest me dwell in safety"
These words will undoubtedly
provoke challenging thoughts in
many minds at a time when we
know only too well that millions
have been living in anything but
peace and security. We know too,
that many of the purest and no.
blest have lived in the greatest
peril, bringing down upon them the
tyrant's hand just because they
were pure and noble, and refused
to do his will.
What are we to say to these
things? The Bible itself, and the
land and people of the Bible, have
given the answer It tells how the
innocent and the sanity have suf-
fered with, and for, the guilty. 1t
tells of trials and prosecutions in
flicted upon good men by evil men.

such drastic measures would not be
necessary and that Sweden would
act promptly to meet the American
request that all ball-bearing ship
ments and exports to Germany of
a selected list of other war essen
tial items be cut off.
Red Influence Held Great,
Pressure now is being exerted by
Russian, British and American dip
lomats in Stockholm and it was said
the participation of Russia would
have great influence with Swedish
leaders.
The policy of preclusive buying
apparently is being directed pri-
marily by Stanton Grifiis, movie
executive who recently went to
Stockholm as special representa-
tive OF the Foreign Economic Ad-
ministration to deal directly with
Swedish businessmen where possible
Mr.. Griff1s, it is assumed, has run
into competition with German buy
ers somewhat like the competition
which developed in Spain over Ship
ments of tungsten ore to the Reich
If this is true. and If the preclusive
buying policy has a chance of being
effective, Mr. Griffis will have to
spend many millions of dollars on
Swedish ball bearings. Indications
were that he had full authority to
do so.
