the rear guard sentries-Then at z

the temple which was built when
the Jewish exiles returned to
Babylon. It was the hymn-book Of
Herod's temple, and we know our
Lord used and loved 1t. 1t is In
deed the song-book Of the Bible. It
was the only hymnal which the
first Christians used, for some
time. Indeed the book Of Psalms is
probably the only hymn-book hon.
ored and used by three separate
religions-Judaism, Mohammedan-
ism and Christianity.
How 1t Grew
IKE all hymnals, this book OF
- Psalms grew by degrees. It
was not written all at one time or
by one person. David wrote some
Of the Psalms. how many we do
not know. The titles" of the
Psalms we're added by later He
brew editors, are no part of the
original Psalms, and r often in
accurate.
1t is very likely mat a. much
rs a thousand years went by
between the first Of the Psalms
to be written, and the last.
Every modern hymnal that is
any good Is in part . collection
Of the best Of the old hymnals.
So our book of Psalms, as 1t
finally took shape, came from old
er collections. A glance through it
in the American standard version
win show that in its present form
it is made up of five smaller books,
ending with Psalms Al, II. SO. 106
and $50. Each book ends with a dox-
ology and book v ends with a mag
nificent series Of them. Sometimes
the editors left In duplicates. Read
ing Psalm IA side by side with

different names for God. At least
one Of the Psalms Is made up Of
clippings" from earlier Psalms:
thus Psalm 108 Is made up from
Psalm 57:7-11 and Psalm 60:5-12.
The Psalms were cherished and
preserved generation after genera
ton because Of their heart-appeal.
Our Psalm book has gone through
centuries Of sitting: many were
dropped out and forgotten. but the
best were saved and sung; and

Illinois Governor
Follows Lead Of
Gov. YoungdahI

Springfield, Ill - CAMP - A
general order banning racial seq
regation in the Illionis National
Guard and Ill. Naval Militia was
handed down by Maj. Gen. Leo M.
Boyle, adjutant general at the
direction of Gov. Adlai Stevenson
here last week. The order, sent to
all officers of the state guard and
militia, was in conformity with a
law passed by the last legislature,
as follows:
There shall be no racial segre-
cation and no discrimination in
accepting enlistments because of
race, creed or color. No one shall
be denied enlistment, re-enlist-
ment or commissioning, or be seq
regated, because of race, color or
creed"
Boyle's announcement added,
1T is the responsibility of the
commanders at all levels to in
sure that this directive is given
full effect within their respective
commands"
The Illinois governor followed
the recent example set by Mime
sofas Governor Luther Young
dahl, who opened up the National
Guard to Negroes without segre-
cation. 1t is expected other north
ern governors will be forced to
follow the example set by Mime
sofa in the national guard set-up.

INDIAN GAIN
IN NUMBERS

Washington - (ANP) - Ac-
cording TO Indian Bureau officials
here last week, the population of
the Indians In the United States
is on the increase-an increase
averaging about one percent a
year.
Estimating in round figures. the
bureau says there are about 49,
900 Indians on tribal rolls, which
compares 10 a low Of less than
$50, 900 in 1880 and 39S, 900 at the
last official check in 1886. This
estimate does not include the
thousands of persons Of less than
quarter Indian blood who are not
on tribal rolls.
Descendants of Indians are in
every state, but the government
maintains Indian agencies in only
q states.
OF the 200 tribes in the nation,
30 of them are in Oklahoma,
which also has the largest Indian
population of any state. II has
about 10000, Arizona with 65,-
900 is second.
Fastest growing tribes are the
Navajos, Hopis. and Papagos in
New Mexico and Arizona - the
rate Of increase being about two
percent a year. Only six states
east OF the Mississippi have In
dian agencies. These are New
York, Florida, North Carolina,

Europe. The harried feeling IL %
strong that some OF them actually
think II they miss this particular
plane, there won't be another one
for them"
When asked about the rehabih-
tation Of Germany, Thomas stated
there was no doubt In his mind
that the American sector stands
head and shoulders above all other
zones. He felt that the French
and British zones were behind for
a number Of reasons.
THE French" John stated,
have learned a strong and united
Germany 10 a dangerous neighbor
from years Of wars with them.
They are in no hurry TO give the
German people their complete
freedom"
THE British zone, being ruled
by a labor government, Ii very
anxious for naturalization to
come about, having their eyes on
the Ruhr area"
Thomas further stated that
both of these zones suffer from
a lack of money. He felt, also.
that both of there zones suffer
a lack Of money. He felt also that
the United States policy could be
a little stronger in It's own zone.
Because a man Is denazified, he
opined, doesn't cause him 10
change his political Views COM
pletely but often just enough for
convenience. Some Of these same
men will be in office again some
day unless something is done to
see that they don't get that far"
When we asked about his fam
lily, Johns face Immediately re-
Taxed into a very engaging smile
as he readily showed US pictures Of
Mrs. Thomas Harriet as she is
known to her friends) and his
three-yesr-old daughter, JUDITH
Ann.
He told US that he certainly
wished it was possible for him to
stay in the U. s. through the
holidays but Judith Ann told him
fatty. Daddy, you better be
home for Christmas!" John leaves
Sunday morning TO make sure that
he fulfills that order"
He said that both his daughter
and wife are in the best Of health
with the latter a trifle lonesome
for the Minnesota surroundings.
We are all very anxious to re-
turn to the u. 8. and probably
will return before RO closes In

After spending very enjoyable
two hours asking questions we had
to answer a few Of them ourself.
All question were directed to

Gophers? Those guys let me down

me $50 richer in the Ohio State
