Color Blindness
Called Permanent

NEW YORK - up - A Navy
study warns persons who were
born color blind not to waste their
money on sO-called cures.
After IS years of experiments,
mo type of treatment or training
has proved to be of real value, Z"
says 1t. COmdr. Dean Farnsworth
in the Sight-Saving Review. The re-
view is published by the National
Society for the Prevention of
Blindness.
There are at least 10000
males in the United States who are
completely or partially color
blind, FarnswOrth said, and a
smaller number of women.
The Navy, which uses many
kinds OF colOred signals, had. to re-
ject any cOlor-blind man. So the
Navy was keenly interested in
whether the cOlOrS5lindness can be
corrected. Numerous kinds OF
treatment or training have been
advertised or attempted.
Farnsworth said a survey show
ed that the best authorities on col
or vision emphaticalIy believe that
persons born with color blindness
cannot be cured "by the use OF
diet, medicine, training, or other
Treatment now known TO science"

WHAT IS A RELIGIOUS
REVIVAL?

THIS lesson intends to reveal to
L us how religious revival broke
out in Jerusalem in the long ago,
nearly 500 years before Christ was
born. Well may we ask, What is a
religious revival?
Lord, send a revival, and let it
begin in my heart" Revivals are
prayed down, not talked up. We
heve fallen into the fallacy of speak
ing of revivals when some overnight
spell-binder comes along and kicks
up a big sensation. Before he
leaves town, Pharisasim is more
rampant than ever 1t is not until
the Spirit of God moves upon the
hearts of his people and rekindles in
them sense of sin, bringing them
to true repentance, that we can
have a real religious revival.
When men are convicted of their
sins, they will say with Zacchaeus,
Lord, the half of my goods l give
to the poor, and if have taken
from any man by false accusation,
I restore him fourfold." When men
begin to feel and talk and act like
that, you have real religious re-
vival. And I repeat, such revivals
are prayed down, not talked up.
Now you are ready to read Psalms
1896.

HAPPY TIMES WITH THE BIBLE
HEOR Ezra had prepared his
L heart to seek the law of the
Lord, and to do it, and to teach in
Israel statutes and judgments"
There was great need for a re-
vival of religion, and Ezra knew
that there can be no real revival
until the people come back to God
He therefore read to them the stat
utes and judgments. Ezra read from
the law of Moses from morning
until midday, land the ears of all
the people were attentive unto the
book Of the law"
What would you think Of the peo-
pie being summoned into some pub
lie place today to hear the Bible
read? But you say, we hear it read
over the radio, and we hear it read
in church, and we sometimes hear
it read in the home. But do we hear
1t? And are our ears really atten-
tive?

In contrast, this small group of railroad
union leaders are attempting to fout the
intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act,
and dictate their own terms.
They have dictated paralyzing railroad
strike.
You will be the victim!
How long will the American public stand
for the undemocratic, arbitrary, and abusive
use of the right to strike and the disregard
of the obligation to provide transportation?
How long can the American people permit
a few dictatorial union leaders to defy the
processes provided for peaceful settlement
of disputes?
Force seldom produces settlements that are
either fair or lasting. Moreover. point is
often reached when personal interests must
be held subordinate to the greater public
welfare. That is why the railroads have &C
cepted the Emergency Board recommended
tions. That is also why the leaders of these
three unions should reconsider their decision
to call a paralyzing strike.

LIVING OUR RELIGION

VXTHAT Ezra and Nehemiah led
w the people to do in the long
ago was to put into practice what
they heard-to live their religion.
The late Gandhi was reported to
have said, II might have embraced
Christianity, had Christians lived
what they professed."
Let us keep clearly in mind that
Ezra was first concerned in in
structing the people according to
all that God had said in the Scrip
lures. That comes first. We must
have conviction about what is right.
We must have creed, but we are
to remember that it is in daily liv-
ing that we make our creeds effec-
tive.

THE LEADERS of three railroad unions, rep
resenting less than One-tenth Of all railroad
employees, have called q railroad strike that
would paralyze the nation.
These leaders refuse to accept 1512 cents
an hour wage increase retroactive to Novem-
Der /, 1947. This increase was recommended
by an impartial Emergency Beard appointed
by President Truman
This increase of 1872 cents already has been
accepted by the 10 other railroad unions. But
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, and the Switchmens Union OF
North America won't accept what more than
900 of all railroad employees have accepted.
They have called strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion
Certain rules changes demanded by these
union leaders-which would increase wages
still further were recommended by the
Board. But the union leaders want more
they demand that the railroads put into effect
ALL the changes they asked for, including
those the Board felt should be denied.
On top of this, they insist that certain rules
changes proposed by the railroads be with.
drawn-in spite of the fact that the Board
recommended them! These union leaders
have refused to negotiate except upon these
arbitrary terms.
