can for Governor and wet for the
future.
They also decided the veterans OF
World War II were entitled to a
bonus, voting in favor of an initia-
tive which would raise 100000 for
ex-servicemen. A tax on tobacco
would provide the money.
Under the measure, veterans who
had lived in Washington for a
year prior to the war would get $40
for each month of domestic service
and SIS for each month served
abroad.
There were two liquor measures.
The voters crushed one which would
have done away with sale of beer
and wine in taverns and stores
They gave sweeping approval to an
other legali2ing the sale of liquor
by the drink in restaurants and re-
sorts.
Although the state went general
ly democratic, it backslid in the
governors contest by ousting Mon

Langlie. This was reversal of their
choice four years ago when the
same pair were running, with Lang
lie the incumbent. There was talk
today that Wallgren would be Of

LAkGLIE IS STILL IN
LEAD FOR GOVERNOR,
WASHINGTON STATE
,By The Associated Press

Although Washington fell into
, the Truman column in the Presiden-
tial election, the state apparently
has elected Republican governor.
Latest returns give former Gov
ernor Arthur B. Langlie better
than 10000 vote lead over Demo-
cratic Governor Mon. C. Wallgren,
ia good friend of President Truman
-Four years ago. Wallgren defeated
Langlie ty $4,000 votes
Wallgren still has refused to con-
lcede defeat, although Langlie's lead
was building up slowly on delayed
returns from rural precincts.
-Four out Of five congressman were
leading for reelection and are con-
sidered certain of victory. The clos
lest squeeze of the four was by Rep
lresentative Russell Mack. Late re-
turns, however, gave him steadily
widening lead over former Repre-
sentative Charles Savage, a Demo-
crat, he defeated in last years spe-
cial election.
The Democrats gained a second
seat in the six-man congressional
delegation as former u s. Senator
Hugh Mitchell scored comeback
to defeat Republican representative
Homer Jones in the Seattle Bremen
ton district.
Washington voters approved the
public sale of liquor across the bar.
Such sales have been restricted to
lprivate clubs.

2. Massachusetts overwhelmingly
beat down an attempt to make it

Church, bans any form of birth
control.
3. Labor won a sweeping VIC
tory in Massachusetts with the de-
feat of proposals to ban union anc
closed shops and set up other re-

It was God Who gave His
Son as ''an offering" on the
cross of Calvary. What love
He showed in paying such a
price for the redemption of
sinful man! By the very act of
dying, the "corn of wheat"
came forth in glorious resur-
rection power and thus it was
that Messiah, suddenly cut off
according to prophecy, pro-
longed His days, and had CIV
en- to Him immortality, that
which no other member of the
human race has yet received.
Christ suffered for the justifi-
cation of sinners before God
and in this prophetic descrip-
ton Isaiah declares that "He
shall see of the travail of His
soul, and shall be satisfied"
This is fulfilled in the regenera-
ton, conversion and justifica-

the one hand, is the greatest
and severest expression of
Gods displeasure at sin, and on
the other hand, it is the great
est expression of His "plea-

at SO great a price as the blood
of His only-begotten Son.

To prepare the people to re-

siah, John the Baptist was sent
of God proclaiming Jesus to
the Jews as "The Lamb of
God that taketh away the sin
of the world" Clean animals
and birds such as lambs, sheep,
oxen and doves, were used in
the Mosaic economy to pro-
vide sacrifices for sin. The
blood of these innocent vic
tins was accepted by God as
an atonement for the sins of
the people because they typi-
fled the coming Messiah Who,
by shedding His blood, as "the
Lamb of God" would forever
end the ritual of sacrificing
and shedding the blood of ami
