Nine weeks after he flew into
WASHINGTON to head the Citizens
Food Committee drive to save"
roc, 0,OO0,O 600 bushels of wheat, Charles
Luckman will return tomorrow to
his Cambridge (MassD job at Lever
Brothers, confident his campaign
has been success.
And like many another business
man who came to Washington, the
$500, ,0O0-a-year head of a major soap
company who didn't get dollar for
his work here is returning home
with a feeling that there's more
criticism of the Government than
is justified"
Mr.. Luckman looked as natty as
ever during an interview yesterday
in his old State Department Build
ing Office, but bit Of the long
hours Of work showed in his youth
full face. Unlike many who came
to the Capital under similar circum-
stances to do Job Mr.. Luckman
avoided the social whirl. His only
night cut socially was to attend a
dinner to Chief Justice Vinson sew

Yesterday, he sucked on a pipe
and smiled as he recalled his flrst

reporters.

Messy suggested. "Loolzit the fire in
his eyes, will your" Ginger yapped
appreciatively, provocatively. That
finished the card game. Reide, the
most die-hard of the players, threw
down his gunmy cards, and with
the others, gathered around Mels-
ner's desk. Fondly they watched the
grimy little mutt push his snoot into
the worm-like chopmeat./
Two days later, Ginger was part
of the life of the shack. A bootblack
had been commissioned to give him
a bath, to provide lined box for a
bed, to continue general caretaking.
While the men were out on stories
holdups, suicides, fires, whatnot-
Ginger tripped around impatiently,
until they came back. Then he
greeted them joyously, with quick,
short barking yelps.
The pressroom was crowded one
sultry afternoon, crowded with
sweaty men in shirtsleeves. At the
card table, next to Reide, was AL
Brown, a thick necked hardware
clerk who spent his idle hours with
what he called the "newshounds.

THE dead mans foot protruded
Il from the blanket like a dis
carded boot. A pan of water rested
on the sidewalk; they had tried to
do something for him, without being
able to. Just an ordinary sidestreet,
a speeding car, a rat-tat-tat and
that was all. Another not-so-blg shot
was through.
Five minutes after the cops came,
a squeaky sedan iolted to stop at
the opposite curb. Haf-a-dozen men
piled out.
Reporters" someone in the
crowd decided.
The newcomers took in the scene
In matter-of-fact way, then
swarmed about the lieutenant and
the homicide squad man and Piled
them with questions. One OF the
newspapermen was chewing gum.
The others were smoking and one
rotund fellow laughed raucously at
something the homicide squad man
said. Soon a few broke away and
headed for the drugstore across the
street with the blue and white tele-
phone emblem outside. Within
twenty m inutes all OF them
squeezed back into the car.
"S'long, Mac, see yin church, !"
the man at the wheel yelled to the
lieutenant as the gears meshed.
Hard guys" the man in the
crowd muttered, as the machine
turned the corner.
"You said it, his companion
agreed, dryly.
An hour later, Joe Melsner Of the
City News Federation, "Old Man"
Of the borough's police reporters,
left the smoky-walled pressroom on
the ground floor of the Supreme
Court Building to buy an afternoon
paper. Johnny Hennessy, Of the
Globe, the kid of the shack, sat in
a corner figuring out his expense
account. Jim Reide, Of the Post
Flash, Mason, of the Mail, Cohen.
of the Reflector and Lenox, OF the
Home Press, with few Of the usual
pressroom hangers-on, were at the
inevitable rummy game. Opposite,
Delany, of the Star, legs stretched
majestically across his desk and
feet high in the air, sat back read
ing a fat book with scarlet cover
and yellow edges. Levito, who was
with an up-county paper, fidgeted in
phone booth, waiting to "clean
up" the shooting story.
A voice thundered in the corridor.
The others looked up; they always
did when Melsner spoke. He was
pointing to something huddled at
the doorway.
"Now what d'ya call this?" the
Old Man grunted, STOPPING over.
He picked up the cringing some
thing and deposited it gingerly on
his desk, massive roll-top affair
with "Private: Keep Out!" on it in
forbidding letters. The 'something''
was a very tiny dog, bedrag ggled
puppy that looked as if it hadn't
eaten in as long as it hadn't bathed.
It's eyes were red-rimmed, as if
with weeping. But there was pink
spot on the end of the moist black
nose. And the eyes themselves

His Laws in Our Hearts

UT WILL put my laws on their
L hearts, and upon their minds
also will I write them," Hebrews
10: 16. Jesus declares, "I do always
the things that please him." and he
enables us, by his grace, to do the
fathers will by his indwelling in ou1
hearts. Thus, his will becomes the
law of our lives, through the grace
of Jesus Christ.
1t is impossible for us to keep
the law perfectly, but Christ, the
better Christ, becomes our
righteousness, and then his law is
kept by his grace. In the Olden
times, men claimed to keep the
letter Of the law, without the spir-
it, as in the case of Moses. Now,
through the Offering of Christ, we
are enabled to satisfy the spirit
of the law.

Ginger, temporarily deserted,
shifted in and out of the chair legs,
feeling for Reide, who always
petted him. The dog rubbed against
Browns trousers by mistake.
''Why, the -" the startled
clerk swore. He reached down,
picked up the pup clumsily, and

Nobody replied. Hennessy looked
up queerly from his typewriter.
Ginger, not having sensed the re-
buff, returned to the table. Again
he brushed Browns trousers. AS If
having anticipated the annoyance.
the clerk kicked vigorously. There
was sharp squeal, then Ginger,
living up to his name, bit.
Brown roared, grabbed the pooch
from his leg, and before anyone
could protest, hurled him with
crushing force against the wall.

The Sufficient Christ

L cry trusting child of God, since
it makes clear that, "He is able to

Hebrews 7:25.
He is not only able, but yearns

wills to save everyone. God has
done everything he can do to save

Those who go to hell do so be-

Apostle of Better Things
Lesson for October IL, 1947

THIS lesson opens, Hebrews 1913,
l. with the explanation that Jesus
Christ is the minister of better
things in that he is the apostle and
high priest of our profession, per-
fectly faithful to him that appointed
him. The comparison is made with
Moses, who was also faithful, but
within a very small circle as con-
trasted with the Son of God.

whole tangly bundle.
Hennessy stopped pondering, De-
lany tossed his book aside, and both
ambled over. Reide turned his head
from the card table.
'The mutt probably has fleas," he
remarked. Keep it offa my desk"
AS if understanding, the puppy
turned to its critic appealingly.
Melsner laughed gruff1y, ignoring
the complaint.
''It's a cute-lookin' mutt at that,
amt it, kidd" the Old Man, winked
to Hennessy. ''Send out and we'll
give it a feed"
One of the ever-present boot
blacks was dispatched across the
street. In a minute or two, the
pooch was slipping milk and sniff
ing chopmeat, oblivious to further
criticism, or his audience.

He Helps Us Use the Bible

have a great high priest, that is
passed into the heavens, Jesus the
Son of God. For we have not
an high priest which cannot be
touched with the feeling of our in
frmities; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without
sin. Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, that we
may obtain mercy, and find grace
to help in time of need" Hebrews
4:14-16.
Study the example of Jesus in his
answers to Satan in the wilderness
temptation, and He will teach us
when and what to say to Satan. We
are not dependent upon our wisdom
and words. Our great high priest
will supply wisdom and words to
match any situation that Satan ever
presents.

Jesus and the Bible

JESUS is introduced in Matthew
- 4:14, as he quotes the Old Testa.
ment to Satan in the wilderness
temptation. Having been reared by
a God-fearing mother, Jesus was
familiar with the Bible as a child.
What is the best thing any par
ent can do for his or her child?
I would answer without hesita-
tion: Teach them to hide Gods
words in their hearts in the i'm
pressiOnable years Of youth. A
Bible verse learned in youth will
serve through all life's testing situ-
atiOns.

and Ginger was forgotten. Hen
messy has sprung from his chair
like a starting sprinter, yanked
Brown from his seat, .overturning
the table at the same time-and
smashed hard fist to the outsiders
jaw.
Brown reeled, regained his foot
ing, swung, and missed. Mason and
Delany started to intervene, but
Melsner, who had taken everything
in quietly. stopped them with a
move OF his hand. LET 'em 60 a
while," he said, grimly. The others
backed away.
Thoroughly aroused, Brown
lunged at his lighter rival, who
danced aside just fast enough. AS
the clerk ploWed by, the reporter
grabbed him by the scruff of the
neck, swung him around, and sent
him sprawling away with another
punch that cracked against his jaw.
Brown shook his head, spat, then
went for Hennessy again. The re-
suit was still another crack; he
could feel his eye swell as if air
had been pumped around it. Clear
ly he was no match at boxing for
the fre-eyed ''neWshound" who side
stepped and stung him so deftly.
He dropped back, then plunged low
like a football player and threw
HenneSSy to the floor.
Again Mason and Delany leaped
forward to interfere, but the Old
Man, an intense gleam in his eyes,
restrained them.
It locked bad for the reporter.
Brown pressed his advantage, bore
down with his full weight. One of
the newspaperman's shoulders was
down, the other twisted consul
sively as the painting fellow on top
sought to wrench it into the dirt of
the foor-boards. Then suddenly one
of Hennessy's legs appeared, en-
twined about the body of his foe,
the other leg applied pressure from
beneath, and a perfect wrestler's
Scissors" hurled the heavier man
to the side, almost reversing the
positions.
The knotted pair whirled crafty
across the floor like a two-headed
fiend. They crashed into Melsner's
desk, upsetting bottle of purple
ink, which spilled over both of
them. Then they tore apart, and
each staggered to his feet, a ivid
mess.
Brown wiped his brow, smearing
it grotesquely with sweat, ink, and
blood. He lunged again, but for the
last time. Hennessy, his whole
frame taut for one blow, poised like
matador and as the clerk rushed
in, brought his left fist forward and
up like a lead mallet. It caught
the hardware clerk on the point Of
the chin, and he went down for
good. From the corner, faint bark
signalized Ginger's approval, and
jolted the wide-eyed onlookers to
their senses.
Ten minutes later, a few blocks
down, Brown was telling his boss
how he'd been "mobbed' in card
game brawl with a "half-dozen" re-
porters.
II told you to keep away from
those fellows" he was told.
They're hard guys"
In the pressroom, Reide held
blue Bowl and Delany held Ginger.
The others were clustered around,
beaming. The puppy's bruised side
was bandaged clean around his fat
little middle, and tied with funny
bow on top, like Christmas parcel.

in their last II games, giving them
a percentage for thai period OF
1872, the worst any Buc team has
ever suffered.
Fred Townsend, declared a ris-

successive loss. Emory Hewlett,
who won for Wilmington. Saturday,

Hargrove "Hogsy''. Davis, who
played the first few innings against
Selma-Smithfield at Wilmington on
Wednesday, failed to see action be-
cause of his bad ankle. The Pi-
rates sorely missed Bridges and
Davis.
Bill Benton put the visitors
ahead in the first game by singing
home Ed Hardisky, who had doubl-
ed for the initial run of the game.
The Leafs, their var clubs smack
ing Townsend's slants all over the
field, came back fast to notch
nine tallies before Benton doubled

ond run in the seventh inning.
Holding a Al advantage after
three and one-half innings of the
second encounter, the Pirates
couldn't hold back Mickey Balla's
sluggers. Two score in the fourth
and five in the sixth clinched
things for Selma-Smithfield. 1t
was the first doubleheader the
Leafs have won this season. The
