Sunday School Lesson

disciples for the things that the
disciples themselves were so soon
to endure?
Whatever the future, the one
sure thing is that Christians can
not be prepared for it unless they
are always prepared. It is those
who endure to the end that are
saved, but the lesson of eadur-
ance is not learned at the end.
It is too late to prepare when an
emergency arises.
So the warning that Jesus gives
us is to be watchful and always
ready. We know no more of the
future than the disciples knew. We
not only know not what day
may bring forth. but "of the times
and seasons knoweth no man."
It would be better for us, and
better for others if we were to
heed the plain teaching Of Jesus,
and strive to follow His example
in word and in deed, instead OF
spending time ond energy specu.
latlng ABOUT doubtful matters. In
relation to 'the last things" as
in relation to our destiny, the SUI.
preme thing is to do our duty in
living the Christian life from day
to day. We should never forget
the words of Jesus to Peter wher
that impulsive disciple asked con
corning John, Lord, what shall
this man do?" With almost sterr
rebuke Jesus answered, "What is
that to thee? Follow thou Me-
The world is in turmoil. The
future is uncertain. We know no
what may befall us, or what the
world of tomorrow may be. Blu
the word of the Lord shall mo-
pass away. There is our place O
anchorage and faith. Hold fast tt
Gods word, and do our duty. Tha
is the best preparation for what
ever there is to come.

LABOR CAMP HERE
TO Be RE-0PENED

The transient labor c a m p at
Castle Hayne will be opened for
the third consecutive year about
March Is, County Agent R. W.
Galphin disclosed Friday.
A meeting of the labor commit
tees of New Hanover and Fender
counties is expected to be held
next week to determine the num-
be- of Negro laborers to be re-
cruited for the camp this spring
to work on farms in this locality,
Galphin said.
Declaring a serious farm labor
shortage is being experienced here
now, Galphin predicted some al
deviation for the problem about
the middle of March when use is
made of the transient laborers and
war prisoners.
'It is hoped to get the labor
shortage corrected before it is too
late to plant all crops" he said.

INCREASED POSTAL
RATES EFFECTIVE
ON &c OF MARCH

Wilrningtonians for the most
part will feel the first effects of
the new tax bill starting March
26 when local letters will have
to carry three cents postage in
stead of two and air mail charges
90 from six to eight cents.
The out-of-town letter rate re-
mains at three cents, but regis
tered and insured mail, and mon
ev order fees will be increased
along with the rate for in-town
mail.
In an explanation of the new
rates, Postmaster Wilbur H.
Dosher said that the rate for first
class mail for local delivery, ex-
cept that on which the rate I'm
der existing law is one cent for
each ounce or fraction thereof
and except post and postal cards,
will be three cents for each ounce
or fraction of an ounce.
Air mail, from one postoffice
to another on the mainland of the
United States, including Alaska,
and from one postoffice to another

United States, and between the
latter islands and Puerto Rice

United States and any of these
islands,, will be eight cents per

The rate of six cents for each
half ounce or fraction thereof will
continue to apply to air mail sent
to or by the armed forces of the

BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, d. ID.
Speculation and anxiety have
ben characteristic of every gen.
Grafton of Christians since Chris
tianity began. Mystery and spec
ulation seem to have a fascination
for some, while others are content
to take the simple, practical
teachings Of Jesus into their
hearts and lives, leaving the fu-
ture to take care of itself.
It would be difficult to enumer-
ate all the times that 1.-THE end
OF the world" has been predicted
and the number Of times that
those who had it all worked out in
their sure interpretations of
prophecy have been shown to be
false interpreters.
Jesus spoke Of troublous times
ahead; and the disciples were
much concerned to find out when
the dire things that Jesus pre-
dicted would happen. The reply of
Jesus was that the true disciple
must be always watchful. He must
not put too great confidence in
signs" and he must be wary of
being led astray by false messiahs
and false prophets.
So far as nation rising against
nation is concerned, the first
World War and the present war
might fill that category; but there
nave been many wars and tumults
since Jesus spoke those words,
and some Of them were on a
worldwide scale as the world then
was.
Was Jesus predicting some def
mite day of catastrophe? Or was
He speaking in general terms of
the struggle between good and
eVii, and of the persecution that
evii men would inflict upon His
' followers? Was He preparing the

to want something more tangi-
BILE" to fight for; the war is being
fought. he writes, Gin an atmos.
phere without apparent galntul
aims, and therefore in an atmos'
phere of political perjury" We are
exchanging tangibles such as men
and materiel for "a political adj
vantage" he says, and all we can
salvage are strategic bases over
seas.
Mr.. Weller, perhaps oddly, does
not appear to consider the goal OF
a stable world of much moment.
nor to believe that the mainte-
nance of many advance bases on
the soil of other nations and races
might prove a serious irritant. I
found myself much confused by
Mr.. Weller's book, particularly by
such small allegories as the one
on page 1903 in which a Russian is
presumed to be suggesting that the
possession of Armenia would be
worthwhile to the United States.
The only positive conclusion one
reaches with ease is this: that it
will be difficult to pin any label,
such as "isolationist' or Inter
on Mr.. Weller. He is

BY JOHN SELBY

"Bases Overseas" by George
Weller (Harcourt, Brace; $3.50.
George Weller, who is an over.
seas reporter for the Chicago
News, has little use for the in.
tangibles of warfare. He is evident
ly realist, and somewhat dog
ged one. What he wants from this
war. for the United States, is not
anything fanciful like an Atlantic
Charter, but some good solid bases
overseas.
He attempts to show Gin de-
tally that Americas wars are
usually just fighting sprees-that
we spend vast sums in other
countries. and then pull out, leav-
ing behind our investment and, in
his opinion, the seeds for future
trouble. He believes that we
might as well not fight in the Pa.
cific for example, if we fail to
pin down the far-flung bases, re-
tanning them for postwar polio
ing purposes. He does not appear
to want territory for territory's
sake 50 much as for powers sake
Mr., Weller is not as clear as
might be. For example, on page
4O8 he quotes Jomini on 'the
sterile glory of fighting battles
only to win them" He goes on to
