Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D.

The more intently we look at
our troubles, the larger they be-
come. If we gaze at them long
enough, nurse them carefully en-
ough. they will destroy us. The
proper way to treat trouble is
that prescribed in the old hymn,
"Take 1t To The Lord In Prayer. "
On one wall of my study are a
matched pair of pictures of Daniel
in the Den of Lions. They are
copies of two famous paintings
by Briton Rivere, and in strlk-
ing symbolism show man how
to meet trouble and overcome it.
The first picture portrays Dan
iel, with his hands bound, fac
ing a pack of snarling lions. He
faces them thoughtfully, but
without registering fear. There
are seven of these lions, the COM
plete number, indicating the
greatness of his trouble and diff
ficulty.
In the second picture Daniel
has turned his back upon the
lions, and faces a small barred
window with head upturned to
God in prayer. His hands are still
tied, but the attitude Of the lions
has changed completely. Instead

Of ferocity, there is now docility.
Instead of indicating their desire
to tear him apart, they gaze at
him in wonder and amazement.
Daniel is a type of every man
in trouble.
The first picture teaches him
that he is to face his trouble
squarely, thoughtfully, apprais-
ingly, but without fear.
The second picture contains a
double lesson. The psychological
lesson is that he must turn his
back on his troubles, if he would
learn to escape them. The spiri-
tual lesson is that, in addition
to turning his back on his
troubles, he must turn to his
Lord with them in prayer.
Daniel escaped from the den
of lions unharmed. Man will es-
cape from the den of his troubles
if he follows the same pattern.
These pictures are the gift Of
woman who come to me one
time in deep trouble. l had seen
these pictures, understood their
lesson, but did not have them.
However, l described them to
her in detail, explaining their
lesson. She grasped it, and was
h elped. Sometime later, she
brought me these two pictures as
a gift, saying that. she hoped
that I might use them to help
others, as she had been helped.
This story Of Daniel is much
more than a children's narrative,
it has been preserved in the
Bible as a striking picture Of
how man, cast into the den of
trouble and adversely. can sur
ViVe instead of being destroyed,
can emerge victorious over his
enemies through the protection,
strength, wisdom and guidance
God will give to those who put
their lives fully in His care.

Freight Rate Increase
Sought Railroads
Inadequate, ice Told
BY the Asseeioted Press

Walter S. Franklin, Pennsylvania
Railroad vice president, said today,
the request of the Nations railroads
for freight rate increases is "in-
adequate" and that further boosts
will be needed if operating costs
continue to rise.
Mr.. Franklin testified before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
on the railroads request for 10
per cent immediate, emergency rate
boost to be collected pending deci-
sion on their application for long
term 27 per cent increase.
ICC Chairman Clyde B. Aitchison
said that If the proposed increases
are inadequate, why don't you
come forward with an adequate one
and let the people of the United
States see what will be needed to
keep the railroads operating?"
The amount sought is "all we can
do for the moment" Mr.. Franklin
replied, repeating that it is "inade-
quate."
Possible Pay Boosts Not Included.
The Franklin-Aitchison exchange
came after the ICC chairman asked
whether the Pennsylvania officials
estimate of cost to his line for next
year reflected possible wage in
creases or benefits to operating en-
ployes.
Mr.. Franklin said such possible in
creases were not included because
operating employees have not advised
what they will ask.
A recent arbitration award
granted 1914 -cents-an-hour wage
increase to an estimated nonoperat-
ing railroad personnel Prior to
that the carriers had asked a 1857
per cent freight rate boost, but this
was raised to q per cent on the
basis of the increased wages award.
Mr.. Franklin testified that if price
increases in coal, steel ans other
commodities continue and a. re-
f1ected in commodities produced
from them the whole cost program
will rise.
Says He Wants to Hold Line.
"If that continues" he said, "we
will be back here. But we don't
want to be the ones to push up the
costs"
The railroads, he said, are asking
rate increases now at "the end of
this price-increase cycle" adding:
IF I could have my way, there
