GOSPEL TALKS
by Rev. r. G. Valentine
SONS OF GOD

Behold, what manner of love the
Father hath bestowed upon us, thai
We should be called the sons o.
God."-1 John 81.
That sinful creatures should be
brought into the family of God is
one of the greatest marvels of all
time. Yet, this is what God does in
His great love wherewith He loves
us. He lifts a child of wrath from
his sin and set him in the family
flesh. He makes a new creature out
of a lost sinner. Upon this new
creature He bestows the family
name of God. "What manner of love
-. that we should be called the
sons of God"
Sonship brings responsibilities
We must uphold the family name.
We must not disgrace it by unbe-
coming action. We must order our
lives as becomes sons of God. We
must seek to be more worthy OF
such great love. We must show our
gratitude for such privilege by low
ing God and doing what He com
mands.
Have you entered the family OF
God? God loved the world so much
that He sent His Son into the world
to redeem it from sin. The Son
came and some received Him not
sbut as many as received Him, to
them gave the power to become
the sons of God. even to them that
believe on His name."-John liz.
Receive Him today and enter Gods
family. Accept the gift of His great
love now. Live as becomes children
of the heavenly king.

|Reuister Births
Health Dept. Urges

Registering the birth of a child
is not merely the personal affair
many might consider ton the con-
trary, more than one benefits from
a registered birth according to Felix
j. Underwood, State Health Officer.
Statistics compiled by the Divi-
sion of Vital Statistics affect the
social and economic status of Missis-
sippi. Such registration indicates the
proper ALLEGATION of funds for health
programs by showing where special
precautions against diseases peculiar
to infants should be instituted.
The percentage Of births per pop
ulation is of importance in plan
ming business enterprises. Recently
the manager of a new business was
asked why his firm had located a
| new store in a certain county. His
| answer was brief: "High birth rate
lots of future customers" More
and more organizations are having
scientific studies made of birth rates
and population increases, for finan-
cial purposes, research and admins
trative aims.
Insurance rates are dependent up
on life tables. What you pay for
your life insurance was determined
by figures furnished by vital statis-
tics.
The national birth rate signifies
potential man power. The future de-
fence and survival of our own
country may eventually be deter
mined by its manpower, the human
outlook as shown by those certlfl-
Gates issued by the health depart
ment.

How do you choose the soap you
use?
Some homemakers seem to have
strong preferences for certain soaps.
Some like one brand; some another.
Their choice is based on their ex-
periences as to the soaps cleaning
ability, its effects on materials, and
its cost.
This raises the question as to what
are the differences in these soaps
and in the results obtained.
Often it is the way they use the
soap. Sometimes it is the compost
ton Of the water supply that deter
mines results. With few exceptions.
the composition and performance Of
most soaps can be classified on the
basis OF the price and the informa-
ton given on the label.
These classificataions may be as
follows:
MOST EXPENSIVE. Toilet soaps
that have a delicate color and ex-
pensive perfume added are the most
expensive. These two additions do
not increase the cleaning action or
the mildness of the soap.
NEXT IN PRICE. Other mild tot
let soaps and white or cleaning bars
and flakes recommended for fine fab
RIGS and colored materials are next
in price. The price includes a pre-
MUM for the color and pleasant
ness Of use.
MEDIUM-PRICED. Relatively
mild general-purpose household
soap bars, flakes, and granules are
medium in price. Less attention is
given to color and pleasantness in
use. They meet the household clean
ing needs Of many h~omemakers.
LOW-PRICED. Mild soaps are
sometimes found also in the low
priced class. Most of them, how
ever, contain a lot of alkaline pro-
ducts which cause an irritating
action on the hands. The label
should recommend them for heavier
household tasks. They are adapted
to remove heavy, greasy soil from
sturdy materials, and should not be
used on materials that are harmed
by alkall.
MILD SOAPS are recommended
for:
l. The skin, hair, silk and wool.
2. Synthetic fibers, such as ra.
yon and nylon.
8. Dyes in clothing, dishes with
designs, wall paper and colored
paints.
4. Material high in oil, paint,
furniture, linoleum and wooden
floors: !.
5. Most metals.
STRONG SOAPS may be used
for:
l. Dishes without colored designs
or other surface color.
2. Linen and cottons (white).
3, Linen and cottons of tested
dyes.
4. Enamel and glass.

BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CHICAGO, April s.-Henry A

how to get tough with Russia, the
trade unions, and the liberals, and
knows now-but won't-get tough

makers and the strong-arm boys"
Sees "War Hysteria."
He said war hysteria" and the
"Truman-Vandenberg- -Forrestal re-
mobilization program" is trying to
whip labor into line"
Every act against labor is taken
as a measure of national security
and is based on carefully manufac-
tured war threats" he said.
The third party presidential can
didate said the steelworkers and
other 1aborers are justified in de-
manding new wage increases.
But, he declared, THE steel trus.
and other huge interests are push
ing for war to stave off depression
and a fall in profits"
To Choose Party Name,
Mr.. Wallace came to Chicago
today for national conference OF
400 pro-Wallace leaders from 45
States. They will arrange con-
vention to nominate him later and
choose a name for the third party
