The City Council expects new bid
g >ecialication for ~ fire alarm box
es to be purchased by the city, to
be submitted at its next regular
meeting, Nov. IA.
The specifications, source OF
much discussion and dispute at
recent council meetings, will be
submitted to the city board for
approval before City Clerk j. r.

Wanderlust
BY Chaplain Frank M. Thompson

.The little Road says, Go,
The little House says, Stay;
And o, it's bonny here at home,
But I must 60 away"
The spirit of the road is the heri-
tage of all. No matter how snug
and comfortable one may be, ever
and anon comes the urge to wan
der. to see new faces, to meet new
SIGHTS. Some are fortunate enough
to be able to satisfy the desire. II
is well. For one will never know
how bonny it is at home until he
goes away.
But a months journey will moi
still the feeling Of unrest. We. viii
be very aware of the fact thai
here we have no abiding place
that the strongest palace is a ten
set up at night to be taken dowr
| in the morning; that the lament O:
David runs through all our days
1--WE are strangers and sojourner.
on the earth as our fathers Were.'
From note book of fiction ar
anguished voice cries out as the
home was breaking up, "Oh God
please don't let her go. Please
make something happen to stop il
and let everything be as it was be
fore" The prayed did not avail
Things were not as they were be-
fore.
Maybe, no other way
Your child could ever know
Why a little House would have
you stay
When little Road says, Co."

the church began.
This does not mean that corn
munism as these first Christians
parctised it is either advisable or
feasible under the complex condi-
tons of modern society. But ii
does mean that even in the most
complex social conditions true
Christians will wish to live I'M
selfishly, using themselves and
their possessions for the doing of
the will of God, and for the bless
ing of their fellow men. Let us
thank God for the men and women
who have lived in that Christian
way; and let us realize that, com
plex as society may be, there can
be no lasting peace, prosperity and
happiness for all until all men live
to love and help one another.

ELIZABETH MASON
GOING TO DURHAM

Miss Elizabeth A. Mason, who
has been director of the U S o
Travellers Aid here during the war
years, will leave Monday for a short
vacation in New York and then will
report to Durham, Nov. II, to as.
sumo dictatorship of the u S o
Travellers Aid there.
Miss Betty Claiborne, case
worker with the Jacksonville USO
Travellers Aid, will assist in the
temporary arrangement of the Aid
here and is expected to arrive
Nov. 8, to take charge of the Will
mington USO Travellers Aid.
According to Miss Mason, con-
siderable decrease of aid to the
servicemen during the past months
has been recognized and the out.
standing aid given now has been
in straighting domestic troubles for
several very young married couples
who have encountered early riffs in
matrimony. She also stated that
the presence of the fleet during the
final days of the month did not ap-
preciably demand extra services.
Miss Mason stressed the fact
that there is no longer demand for
housing couples or .servicemen and
she pointed out that the agency has
a very adequate housing file which
has been built up over the past four
years and can be drawn upon to
meet any current demand for hous-
ing.
1t is not necessary for home own
ers, pointed out Miss Mason, who
are listed with the agency already
to notify us of vacancies as they
will be called when the needs arise.
The USO Housing service was init
ated to meet the needs of service
men and are not to serve as a rental
agency for home owners, she said.

By WILLIAM E. GILRoY, DID.

The Scripture passages desig-
mated for this lesson all have in
common emphasis upon the love
and the spirit Of mutual helpful
ness, that ought to exist between
all Christians, particularly in the
fellowship of the church. There is
note also concerning the power
of church in which Christians
are all of one mind, and are united
in acknowledging and living this
high ideal of love, mutual service
and brotherhood.
Is it possible, one might ask, for
all Christians, or for all members
of local church, to be of one
mind? Is there not value in diver.
sity?
To this the answer must be that
all Christians are subject to the
injunction, "Let this mind be in
you, which was also in Christ
Jesus" philippians 2:5); but Paul,
who gave that injunction, empha-
sized also the diversities among
Christians C"All members have not
the same office'').
There are basic elements OF
Christian faith and practice, ex-
emplified in the life and teaching
of Jesus. This is ''the mind OF
Christ" that ought to be in every
true Christian; but upon that basis
there can be, and ought to be, wide
diversities as individual Christians
follow the Masters guidance.
From emphasis upon Christianity
Tin the home, we have turned to
consider the Christian way in the
church. The two, home and church,
ought to 60 together in the life OF
every family that would be in any
real sense Christian.
Recently I have heard of move
ment for developing and strength
ening family religion in encourag-
ing and providing aids for wor.
ship in the home. In the way in
which the matter was reported to
me it was suggested that this
might take the place of the church
school, or Sunday School, in so far
as this institution has failed. It is
my judgment that this movement
for an increase and development
of family religion. will fail, if it
means a complacent attitude to-
ward any alleged failure or weak
ness in the Sunday School, or a
further weakening of that institu-
ton, that. really needs strengthen
ing if the church itself is to have
a strong and vigorous life.
Family religion, fine as it can be
made, is not enough in itself. A
family, religion, divorced from the
church and lacking the full ex-
preston Of Christian fellowship,
could not be in any real sence
Christian The family needs the
church, as much as the church
needs the family.
The first Christians, in the early
church, had all things in common.
Just as groups of Christians in
monasteries, or religious orders,
or in self-contained Christian COM
munities, have practiced commun-
ism at many times, and in many
places, during the centuries since

i posing . collective liability, It Is
quite intolerable to let such 4
Ilegalism become the basis Of per-
sonal immunity.
The Charter recognizes that one
who has committed criminal acts
may not take refuge in superior
orders nor in the doctrine that his
crimes were acts Of states. These
twin principles working together
have heretofore resulted In Inn
munity for practically every one
concerned in the really great crimes
against peace and mankind.
Those in the lower ranks were pro-
tected against liability by the orders
OF their superiors. The superiors
were protected because their orders
were called acts of state. Under the
Charter, no defense based on either
fof these doctrines can be enter
tanned. Modern civilization puts un-
limited weapons Of destruction In
the hands of men. It cannot toll
crate so vast an area Of legal IRE
