BEREA It'll DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH
712 Shawmut Ave.
T. L. Davis, Minister

Sabbath, March 20, the Young
Peoples Choir, under the direc-
ton Of Mrs. Marion Hemsley,
sang at the Divine Worship hour.
The pastor took his text from
John 7:37-If any man thirst, let
him come unto me and drink.
And after announcement of his
theme-'The Last Day of the
Great Feast, he hurled mighty
challange at youth as he showed
them their responsibility in the
great controversy between Christ
and Satan. AS result, upwards
100 souls, young and old, reconse-
Grated and redidicated them
selves to God. Sunday night, the
pastors theme, "The Changing
Tide of Human Emotions was
wildly portrayed by the homage
paid to- Christ upon His entrance
into Jerusalem with Hozannas to
the King. Yet how quickly they
changed when they cried Cruel
fly Him! We, like them, can do
likewise. But let us be genuine,
loyal and true to God.
Saturday, March 27, the theme
Advantage in Disadvantage;
Sunday, March 28, "The Risen
Savior: You are invited to all
these meetings.

In mechanics, growing inteli-
gence of the human race is con-
stantly assembling new, and more
efficient and precise gadgets; in
education, the methods of today
are so far beyond those Of yester-
day that the average person OF
middle age simply cannot follow
the methods; in medicine and sur
gerry, ailments which we're incur
able, fifty years ago. are yielding
to the same growth Of human in
telligence; in sports, new records
attest the fact that the brain plays
at least an equal part in perform
ance as does Drawn. So, in the
face of all these testimonies to the
irnnutable law Of evolution, why
do musicians continue to feel
that the performances Of the past
are not equalled, or topped. by
those of today? Think it over.

the Lily at the head of Lydia's

that the grave is a perpetual pri

"Why, no. l only think of the

Me thinks / see a lovely Eastern garden,
With blooming lilies banked along its walk.
I see trimmed trees heavily decked with flowers
Raining shower of petals the dew.
Long of earthenware with red carnations,
Young palms and ferns profusely bowling low
Green pods and buds of every known description,
Waiting mpatiently their time to bloom
The sun, fiery ball of dazzling briance.
Unusually displays his natural powers.
He who, three days before, had hid his splendor
Prepares the earth to meet its risen King.
He pierced the darkness which engulfed creation;
He blazed the lonely path the mourners trod
He beamed halo round the empty chamber
Where lay the second Albanian, yet God
Sing alleluia We ransomed mortas,
Respond, heaven, to earth's joyous refrain
He, who once walked and talked mid Edens' bowers
DEGREES that fallen man, by man, shall live.
Then HE ye gladly to pour sacred affairs,
Diverse, vet union in your lofty aim;
Thrice alleuia conquering King, Redeemer,
This, may mankind through endless ages sing

Rees Condemns Order
Giving Panamanians
Civil Service Jobs
BY the Associated Press

Immediate cancellation of a Gov
ernment order permitting citizens of
Panama to qualify for United
States Civil Service Jobs in the
Canal Zone was demanded today
by Chairman Rees of the House Post
Office and Civil Service Committee.
For the protection of our own
country, 1t ought to be rescinded," he
said in q statement.
Mr.. Rees added that he has asked
the Civil Service Commission to hold
up the appointments of 1872 Pana-
manians who recently passed civil
service, examinations.
Il an informed that among these
citizens there are some who partic-
ipated in the anti United States
demonstrations in Panama that were
designed to influence the Panama
nian government to reject the bases
agreement between the United
States and the Republic of Pana-
ma," Mr.. Rees declared.
II am in favor of retaining good
neighbor policy. We must 60 the
limit to carry out such a policy, but
there are limitations. We must find
out definitely whether there are dis
loyal persons among them, and es-
pecially whether any of them took
part in the anti-American demon
strations."
The United States had proposed
to continue using under lease IA
wartime bases on Panama soil
which the Army contended were
vital for canal defense. A tentative
agreement, however, was turned
down unanimously by the Pana-
manian Assembly, and this Govern
ment withdrew its troops from the
bases.
Mr.. Rees said an executive order
signed last February by President
Truman allows citizens of Panama
to take United States Civil Service
jobs. 1t was issued under 1896
treaty ratified by the Senate in 1899,
he added.
1T is the only place I know
where foreigners are permitted to
qualify under our Civil Service en-
ployment," Mr.. Rees said. Under
this order not only Panamanians
may qualify, but also foreigners who
have become naturalized as Pana-
manians."
