But Edith, eyes shining, was

warm, rosy cloud descended to
envelop her, to lift her to unex-

FARLEY ON FRANCO

There has been some discussion of the
French proposal that the United States
Great Britain and France consider the de-
STABILITY and effect of servering diplomatic
relations with the Franco Government of
Spain. i'-2soae
When the news,fepo was published,
the comment available indicated that no
change in policy. was copterp Ilafed by this
government. However, the three govern
ments have agreed III meet for the purpose
of reconsidering their relations with Franco
and taking up the possibility of recognizing
the Spanish Government in exile as the
provisional government of Spain.
There is no doubt whatever that
Franco was stooge for the Axis powers,
that he came into power. because of their
assistance and that, if favorable oppor-
tunity had presented itself, he would have
interviewed in their behalf The turn of
events was the decisive factor in keeping
Spain neutral.

WONDERFUL THINGS
ABOUT THE BIBLE

The Holy Bible is the
OLDEST BOOK - The five
books written by Moses were
composed at least a thousand
years before HerodotuS, the first
historian, wrote his first book,
and seven hundred years before
Rome was built.
TRUEST BOOK-Other books
may err, but the Bible cannot,
simply because its Author is the
Eternal God, the God who cam
not lie. All that He says is the
truth.
MOST WIDELY CIRCULAT-
ED BOOK-It is estimated that
there are, over 200,000,000 Bible
in so languages. These Bibles,
side by side would form an area
of 7OdaSsss lPlscedS end ,tpl end,
they would make a line 1900

BEST LOVED BOOK-Men

The rack, the gallows and the

the Lords saved ones give up,
