Joyous Living

IT'S 1T POSSIBLE to find any Joy in
life at this time of the worldA
n struggle with evil in its worst
phases? Is it possible for those de-
prived of home, oppressed, separated
from loved ones, suffering from pri
walton, sickness, and pain, to IND
surcease from this thralldom? Many
are gaining freedom from such bond
age, and are finding Joy renewed
through better understanding OF
God and higher sense of life and
happiness.
Gods promise to Israel in one OF
the most troubled periods of Hebrew
history was Isaiah Al :10), Fear
thou not; for / am with thee: be not
dismayed; for l am thy God: will
strengthen thee; yea, | will help thee.
yea, will uphold thee with the right
hand of my righteousness" This was
no idle promise. 1t has never beer
withdrawn. Many are proving il
practical today as they learn the
meaning of true righteousness and
the power that goes with it. "Feai
not" is the admonition of our heav.
emily Father. When we rid ourselves
of fear we have mastered our worst
tormentor. But how shall we dt
this? The cure comes when we learn
where to find God and how to turn tt
Him for help; when we learn to trust
Him as completely as the little child
who turns in confidence to the love
and protection of its parents.
The clouds which hide the sun dc
not destroy our belief in the exist
ence of the sun. So sorrow and sui
fering cannot take away the Joy OF
knowing that they will disappear
when the sunlight of Truth, the pres
ence of everlasting Love, shines in
our consciousness. God is Love it
self, and includes no hate. Gods low
eternal, unchanging, and is always
at hand to comfort, heal, and bless
But the heart which reflects this love
can harbor no hatred. God is divine
Spirit, and He is All, the only power
and presence, nearer than the breath
we breathe. Do we always conf
IDENTIFY turn to Him, knowing that His
answer is at hand even before we
call?
Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer
and Founder of Christian Science
opens the Preface to Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
with these heartening words: ITO
those leaning on the sustaining inf
mite, to-day is big with blessings" To
have our days filled with blessings
we must rely on God. As we gain the
right understanding of God and of
mans relationship to Him we shall
find the true happiness that is here
for us today. None are excluded
from the ever-present love of our
Father-Mother God. -.
"God is our refuge and strength,
very present help in trouble" de-
clares the Psalmist psalms 46:1).
Let us rely on His help, assured that
in Him we shall find that true Joy
which is eternally ours and of which
no argument of material sense can
rob us.-The Christian Science Monitor

Civilian concentration camps were

camps. These measures caused ex-

AS THE party Of four crossed

the ripple Of comment that fol-
lowed them. They were stopped
again and again by congratulating
friends and acquaintances. Each
time Terry was introduced. She

PROPERLY administered mas
sage is serving a very useful pur-
pose in many ways. Doctors have
found it quite useful in the treat
ment of a'number Of disorders. In
some cases, it is given to create .
soothing and quoting effect In
other Instances, il may be EN-
ployed to help improve the eircu-
lation. However, according TO Doc
tor Harold d. Storms Of Toronto,
the best use for massage Is to re-
ieve muscle spasms.
In cases of sprain and similar
injuries, the muscles about be
Joints are the most severely in
jured when the joint is damaged
seither through direct tearing Of
the muscle fibers, or through indi-
rect strain due to effort on the
part Of the muscles TO limit the
movement of the joints. For ex-
ample, there is a spasm of mus
cles known rs a charleyhorse. The
treatment usually employed in
tits condition is to feel around
with the fingers until the affected
muscle Ii detected and then to
massage or knead IL. This, as q
rule, viii promptly relieve the
spasm.
Raising Arms
According TO Doctor Storms, -
woman who finds it difficult to
raise her arms in order 70 dress
her hair, may be afflicted with this
same sort of pain and muscle
spasm. Or persons who play golf
may have such muscle spasms in
the back. Even headaches, which
start in the back Of the head and
settle in the eye, may be due to
MUSCLE spasm.
A healthy muscle can stand
strain to some degree but. IL it is
subjected to a greater pull than it
is equipped to'stand, some Of the
muscle fibers will tear. As q re-
suit, swelling, pain, and other
signs Of muscle Inflammation
occur. In this condition. the entire
muscle goes into a spasm or con-
traction. This spasm is painful
and may last for hours, days, or
even weeks. II the spasm con-
tinues for q very long period. such
as weeks, some of the muscle It's
sue may be completely destroyed
and replaced by scar tissue.
Heat Application
In treating these conditions OF
spasm, the application Of heat, by
such means as diathermy or mira
red rays, is helpful. Following the
treatment, light massage may be
employed. II the condition Of
spasm has been present for Q long
time, 1t is suggested that the mas
sage be given first, followed by
the heat treatment to relieve pain
and tenderness.

way, may be found helpful in q

triumphal march. Everywhere they
were known. Everywhere they were
toasted, congratulated on winning
the race. Everywhere were photog-

and they Joined the dancers. The
place was In almost total black
ness. The music throbbed low,
poignant. Slowly the studied mo-
notony Of the dance became a rigid
pattern Of behavior straining
against emotional depths Of the
surging melody about them. Terry
could feel the power Of it in the
quickening Of her pulse, the relax
ing Of her body. She moved hypnot-
ically to Raffs expert leading. And
at the end of the dance, left the
floor in a dreamy daze,
Raft looked a little dizzy himself.

Brooks and Corinne at the table.

alteration at Terry. II say--what's
