Minute Sermon

Lions, wild bears, dragons, uni
corns, and other fierce animals
were chosen by men to adorn their
coats-of-arms in the age of heral-
dry. Men like to think of them
selves as strong, self-Sufficient,
and self-confident. The truth is
we are a gegarious lot, who want
to handle close to each other, and
we feel lost when we are left
alone. We are really more like
shep, we human beings are, than
like lions. We want to be with
others we want the approval Of
others, we need the courage and
confidence which comes from our
fellows. That is why it is such a
terrible thing to do wrong. It
makes us unacceptable to the
group; it makes us to be marked
off by ourselves. The forgiving
love of God wants to draw men
away from their evil ways which
caused them to wonder off alone
and bring them back into right
ways which makes for fellowship
and the smile of God. Once Jesus
asked a question: "How think We?
if a man have a hundred sheep,
and one of them be kone astray,
doth he not leave the ninety and
nine, and 60 into the mountains,
and seek that which goeth asray?
And if so he that find it, verify
1 say unto you, he rejoiceth over
it more than over the ninety and
nine which have not gone aStray.
Even so it is not the will Of your
Father who Is in heaven, that one
of these little ones should perish"
Matt. 18:12-14).

CAN WE STAND MORE vSALVATION'?

"Rainmaker" Truman admitted in his speech dedicatng
the Bull Shoals Dam Arkansas that he had broken the
SO day drought that area the first rain in more than
month sprnkled his 900 hearers. He also admitted
with equal modesty that the New Deal and Fair Deal had
brought salvation this country These policies ne sald

abled us to fight and win the Second World War; And
they making able to be the strong leaders OF the
fight for freedom against communism IN the world
He did not mention the Korean snafu the loss of China
to Communism defeat in the establishment OF work
able United Nations that longer powerful
enough to protect nationals abroad Nor did he state
the price of national policies directed to meet human
needs and not just to meet private greed which is
currently pegged at 80 of the national income and
still producing deficits to add to national debt OF over
26O billion dollars which the taxpayers have to get
more than six billion year in interest alone!
At Newport Ark, where he made whistle-stop speech
the President assured reporters he would not run again.
At about the same time the Democratic National Commit
tee announced that the fifth floor of the Blackstone Hotel
in Chicago had been reserved for Mr. Truman beginning
on the opening day of the Democratic Convention.
So it must be that Gov Adai Stevenson of Illinois
having trouble getting reservation for himself.

lime q marked the eighth birth
dav of the CT Bill for World War
IT veterans, with one of its bene-
fits still in full force, another on
the decline, and third long end
ed for most veterans.
The Act, signed into law June
%, 1914, gave three major aids to
veterans in their effors to return
to civilian life. One was a pro-
gram of guaranteed loans for
homes, farms and businesses; an
other, free education and training,
and a third, allowances for unem-
ployment and self-employment.
The CT loan program has five
more years to run, coming to an
end for most veterans on July 70,
1857.
So far, the Veterans Admins
tration said, more than 100000
veterans have QRte CT loans
for homes, farm {sbA 4SSes.
The loans have totaled abo lS
billion, with VA guaranteeing Z
insuring about half the amount.
The CT Bills education and
training program reached its cut
off point for most veterans last
July rs. For the most part the
only veterans now in training are
those who began before the cut
off date and who have remained
in training since, except for inter-
ruptions beyond their control.
| During the eight years of the
program, more than half of the
nations 15,2OO,0OO World War II
veterans have taken some form
of training under the CT Bill.
The third major CT Bill benefit
-readjustment allowances for I'M
employment and self-employment
ended for most veterans on
July rs, 1949, although a handful
of applications still come in from
the few remaining eligible veter-
ans.
So far, about 100000 veterans
have drawn readjustment allow
ances that have totaled $3.2 billion
for unemployment and $600,0OO,-
900 for self-employment.
OIL saw a house I would like
to buy with CT loan. The seller
wants to charge me 5000 more
than the reasonable value which
has been determined by VA. Is 1t
all right if I pay him the extra
5000?
A-No. Under the law, the pur-
chase price may not exceed the
reasonable value determined by
VA. Any side payment made to
evade this requirement of the law
is illegal.

Among the fire gods Of the world,
one called Loki held place in
parts of Europe during the middle
ages. He was a god of the Morse
men, and stories about him were
told a thousand years ago by peo-
pie in the lands now called Norway.
Sweden and Denmark. These tales
were spread by Morse sea roverS who
settled in the British Isles and else
where.
The very name of Loki goes back
to the word for fire in the old
Morse language. AS time passed,
the Norsemen seem almost to have
forgotten his connection with fire.
They came to look on him as "god
of mischief" Some went so far as
to describe him as the spirit of
evil"
In southern Asia, thousands of
miles southeast of the old Morse
homeland, another fire god became
popular long ago, and this one
holds a place in the Hindu re-
ligion to this day. His name Isl
Agni.
Agni is pictured with one head
and two faces. Hindu artists have
him with eight arms!"
In the lore of the Hindus, AgniI
is the god Of the altar fire." They
suppose that he is the. fire itself,
and that he burns the objects which,

T axe Nv yWord for It
By Frank Colby

Many broadcasters have been slow
in discarding the erroneous
"BEESS-chul" for the word bestial.
The word comes from the Latin
bestia, meaning IAN animal with
out reason" In bestial and bestial-
ity, words that are often in the
news, the "e" is fiat as in best,
rest" First choice: BEST-yul and
-tee-AL1-tee; second choice:
BESS-chl and BESS-chee-ALi-tee.
Personally, I regard the second
choice as the more natural pro-
nunciation.
There Is wide disagreement among
the authorities as to the pronunci-
alton Of the word amateur. This
French loan word is still in a pro-
cess Of evolution. and I do not be-
lieve that cultured usage has vet
established any one pronunciation
as being correct" At the present
time it seems to be about like this:
most commonly heard: AM-uh-cher;
preferred on the radio: AM-uh-
ter; first choice of most dictionaries:
-uh-TER.

Many readers disapprove Of the
radio pronunciation of demolition
in which the first syllable is pro-
nounced "dee." But "DEE-moe-
LISH'un" is not incorrect; it is
listed as second choice by several
dictionaries. My impression is,
however. that the prevailing pro-
Inunciation among the more expert
enced broadcasters is that listed as
first or only choice by the accepted
authorities, thus: DEM-uh-LISH'un.

Mr.. Dale found himself in fairly

the jack of spades on the board

chance was gone.
Only at this point did he try the
dangerous heart finesse. His two
previous tries, though unsuccessful,

diamond on the queen of hearts to
