Boy Held
In Gas Coupon Thefts

"A 17-year-o1d white youth was
jailed yesterday in default OF 81
500 bond in connection with the
theft of 5000 gallons Of gasoline
tickets from the Sinclair Oil ter
minal, Second and Kidder streets,
on March IL.
City detectives predicted that
other teen age accomplices OF
Charles Francis Mintz, Of 1909
South Second street, would be
Jailed within "a hours.
Young Mintz was arraigned IN
Recorders court yesterday on
charges of breaking and entering,
and larceny and receiving. The
hearing was postponed until April
10.
Police said they recovered thir.
ty-six RI gasoline coupons from
Mintz, who they said had beer
selling them for fifty cents each.
The youth was arrested at Sis p.
m. Thursday at Third and Mar
steller streets.
The oil terminal robbery includ
ed the theft Of 4,400 r gas coupons
and 1925 A, B, and C tickets.

Such disturbing forces now can be
discerned on the horizon. Recon-
version, for example, may develop
into great business activity, with
corresponding calls for credit. ST.
simultaneously, as statisticians fore
see it, our country's stocks Of mon
etary gold will decline. So whether
you probe creditdemand or credit
upply, you are led to the forecast
of higher interest rates.
The public always expects cur
rent conditions to persist. If the
days co1nmunique is adverse, they
look for a long war and vice YER
sa. Every rise or fall of commodi-
ty and security prices generates
faith in continued advance or de-
cline. Thus, many who may dis
sent from my forecast Of a
strengthening rate Of interest will
discover, I believe, that their judg-
ment is being unduly swayed by
present conditions. Remember that
the habit Of pendulums is to swing.
The one stable thing is-change'

It's Me, o Lord!
By Chaplain
Frank M. Thompson
IT'S ME, LORD!
Negro spiritual:

Negro spiritual:
1T amt my father, it amt my
mother, in need Of prayer, it's
me, o Lord"
1t generally is.
Hall Game, in prologue to a
book tells of a man who was men
aced by thrall. His crops were
destroyed, barns burned, cattle
killed. One night he lay in wait for
his enemy, saw him, clutched him
by the throat, threw him to the
earth. AS he drew his knife to put
him to death, moonlight broke
through the clouds and he found
himself looking down into his own
face.
That is only fiction but it brings
home the Wel-knoWn truth that a
mans worst enemy is himself.
That he is responsible for most of
his ills.
Sickness, in a large measure, is
the result of carelessness or the
violation Of the laws of health.
The misunderstanding, enmi-
ties which disturb and make life
Wretched, are due to our own will
full conduct. And most of them
could be remedied by a little eff
fort, a gracious acknowledgment
that we were to blame at least in
part.
A cantankerous household that
majors in fault finding, display
of temper, could be made to func-
ton normally, if the parties con-
cerned would go to the mourners
bench, and confess, it's me, o Lord.
And in answer to the one who
did not get square deal, that the
cards were staked against him,
and no doubt there are many such,
Napoleon observed that ''None but
myself ever did me any harm"
So we are right back where we
started.
'It amt my brother, it amt
my sister, it's me, o Lord"

Lesson
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, d. L

By WILLIAM E. GILROY, ID. d.
Peter says in his Second Epistle
that ''holy men Of God spake as
they were moved by the Holy
Ghost" That is the. origin of the
Bible, and the Bible itself is the
proof of what Peter says. 1t bears
upon it the marks of its origin
in the lives of holy men. It has
lived through the ages because it
is the book of life; because it has
brought to successive generations
of men and women the light, and
help, and guidance they have
needed. It is the Book that tells of
God, and of Jesus Christ, and Of
the Christian way of living.
We speak of the Bible as 'it,"
when we really ought to Say
"they' - for the Bible is not one
book, but many. Our Bible con-
sists of 66 books, 80 in the Old Tes-
lament and q in the New Tesla
ment. These books originally were
separate writings, and the writing
of them occupied at least sever
al centuries. The earliest and the
latest are thus far apart in time,
and the books are of widely di-
verse nuture. Some are history,
some are prophecy, some are po-
etry, soma are romance, some are
sermonic.
What all the books of the Bible
have in common is that they tell
the story of how men were seek
ing God and finding Him, and
making the revelation of God
known. Much of the Bible tells how
men failed to seek and find God
for it is a book of great realism,
dealing with human sin and TRACE
dy, as well as with triumphant
faith and achievement.
If we read the Bible Alright, we
shall realize that it is not all of
one piece. 1t is record Of mans
quest Of God, and men did not
find God all at once. Patriarchs
did things that would have been
unworthy of Apostles, because
they knew Goo only partially.
Even the Apostles were a long
time coming to the full truth con-
corning God, though they had Je-
sus to help them and guide them.
It is very important to grasp this
fact of the progressive revelation
in the Bible. From Genesis to Rev.
elation is like the progress from
tha candle to the powerful electric
light. It is a record of light, but
of increasing light.
This coming week is "Bible
Week" Throughout the nation
men of prominence are paying
their tribute to the greatest of all
books; but the noblest tribute we
can pay is to put its truth and
teachings into our daily words and
deeds.
