"HOLDING ON" is
TOPIC OF GARDNER

Rev. Z. Norfleet Gardner pastor of
the First Baptist church, preached on
the topic, Holding On" Sunday at
the morning worship hour. The
text was from James 5:1l, Behold,
we count them happy which en-
dUre'
"Happiness is elusive in detfnitic,r
and in quest, said the minister.
Can best see what it is by rccog-
nlzin9 the things it is not There are
some who say that if all the discom-
forts and hardships could be removed
from life one would be happy Many
times though, the happiest People
are those who have had the most
hardshlps. Sorrow comes to stretch
out places in the heart for JOY. Then
there are other persOrs who say
happiness is bound up in the free
dom Of indulgence. Happiness is not
the product Of the excitement of in.
dulgence. There are some who say
happiness is going smoothly in times
OF prosperity and in times of adver-
sity.
Happiness comes from being stead
fast and holding on, whatever the
oally circumstances are
why is one happy as he endures?
Because IN our patience we find
the grace CT Gcd. Job, in the midst
OF his physical and mental affliction,
found the grace of God.
One is happy as he endures
through suffering. AT times, the
sorges are deep and the torrents
seem to oVerWhelm. Just as field
must be ploWed deep if the grain is
to grow, SO ones life and soul must
be ploWed by the chastening of the
Lord"

Wallace Asks DELAY
In Van Ness Opening

The District Commissioners have
under study proposal by Secretary
of Commerce Wallace to keep Van
Ness street through the grounds
of the Bureau of Standards closed
temporarily until fences can be
erected to provide the necessary
security for the bureau, it was
learned yesterday.
Mr. Wallace said he understood
that the War Department. which
closed the street during the war for
security reasons, was considering
lifting the restriction, possibly next
month. He asked an additional 80
days after the lifting of the ban
to permit fencing in of the Bureau
on both sides of the street.
Disclosure of the request by the
Commerce Secretary came on the
heels of a report by the Commits
sioners to Congress disapproving a
pending bill to close that section of
Van Ness street permanently.
The street section in question
runs from Reno road to Connecti-
cut avenue and is one of the few
outlets to Connecticut avenue for
residents of the area west of the
Bureau grounds.
Closing of the street has been the
subject of heated discussion by
civic organizations and a similar
bill was tabled in 1941 after hearing.

place is found.
