They Should Know 1t

Let us hope it is not impertinent
to pass on few thoughts suggest
ed by this prayer of Christ. espe-
cially with regard to praying for
other people. microscopy prayer
in the true sense is always I'M
selfish, though one may literally
pray for other persons with a self
ish motive. For instance, if a wom-
an whose husband is a candidate
for office prays for his election.
that is praying for some one else,
right enough; but maybe she is
saying one word for him and two
for herself. So an ambitious mother
might pray that her child would
make good in Hollywood (-and
bring home the bacon) This is
not microscopy prayer in the
Christian sense. Christ's prayer for
others shows that he deeply and
completely desired their highest
good But he does not offer this
prayer in silence and solitude. He
prays in their hearing, they knew
they were on his heart. We cannot
always pray in the presence of
-hass 32E whom Ss go; 81 j:
does them great good TO know we
are carrying them on our hearts
before God. No service Of friend
or loved one is more cherished
than the simple yet sublime serv-
ice of microscopy prayer.

Ii Should Be for the Best

Prayer for others should be for
the best-and this in two senses.
It should be in line with Gods best
purposes, and il should be for the
best things When Christ prayed in
Gethsemane that the cup might
pass from him, the prayer was not
granted, because what God Willed
would not be possible, or would not
have been possible, if Christ had
not been willing to drink that bitter
cup to the dregs God will not
grant requests that upset his plans,
no matter how earnest and appar-
emily right the requests may be-
But prayer for others ought to be
for the best things. Not that we
should not pray for lesser things
It surely is not wrong to pray that
mother may find her wedding ring
that got lost in the laundry, or
that Uncle Harry may get over his
cold. But surely as we grow more
mature in the Christian life we
can begin to appreciate the kind
of prayer that Christ offered for
his friends. He did not pray there
at the Last Supper for their health,
long life or prosperity. " He
prayed for their inner spirits, he
prayed for their unity of heart, for
their vision of God How often we
pray for something to happen to
our loved ones, how seldom do we
pray for them! When child lay
dying of rabies, hundreds of pray
ers went up for his recovery. These
were not granted But other pray
ers were offered for his parents
faith; and these were granted.

Suppose we were all wealthy ..
and all healthy. And suppose we had
to work only one day a week, and
could devote the others to recreation
and rest. And suppose we had no wor-
ries, no problems, no responsibilities!
Would we all be happy 49,. really
happy?
Of course not For week or two
we might revel in our good fortune,
and enjoy our freedom from care. And
then suddenly life would become
colorless and empty. For where would
we find incentive? How would we re-
capture ambition What would we
substitute for perseverance and for
titude and hope: the qualities that
crown existence with achievements?
And what would happen to FAITH
the true foundation of happiness?
In this work-a-day world, with all
its turmoil and care, the man who
depends on God lives with a smile in
his heart And week after week his
shoes wear smooth the threshold of
his Church as he rejoices in the love
of His Saviour He doesn't dream of
happiness in land of make-believe
He has found happiness.

The January-August total of

Empty School Bus
Hits ; Cars After
Collision With Truck

A big WM6SA school bus, empty
except for its driver, swerved out
of control after being clipped by
a semitrailer truck early today,
hit three cars and finally came
to rest hanging on sidewalk
above 1915 Sheriff road NE.
Driver of the bus, James Junior
Stewart. 80, of Pisgah, Md. re-
ceived scalp wounds in the acci-
dent and was admitted to Dis
trict General Hospital. He is
in good condition.
Police said the bus was on its
way to pick up school children
in Maryland. It collided with a
semitrailer Safeway Stores truck
at the intersection of Forty
ninth street and Sheriff road
NE. The truck was loaded with
empty bottles.
Driver Tells Story.
Driver of the Safeway truck,
Henry B. Conner, Al, colored. of
855 Twenty-f1rst street NE, gave
this version of the accident:
Driving east on Sheriff road
Mr.. Conner said he saw the bus
come down the hill on Forty
ninth street and fail to stop at
a stop sign on Sheriff road. MIR
Conner said the bus driver
swerved to the right and he
swerved to the left, just touch
ing the bus with the trucks
right fender.
He said he saw the bus go UP
over the curb on the left side
of the road, run completely over
a tree, then swing back to the
street on the right. Apparently
out of control, the bus swung
again to the left, hit one parked
car, struck a moving car, hit
another parked car. then jumped
the curb and stopped.
The bus came to rest with its
front wheels in the front yard
of James Brooks. colored, OF
4976 Sheriff road. The sidewalk
is even with the second floor oil
Mr.. Brooks home. The bus was
tipped downward pointed at the
front door of the Brooks home.
Swerved Toward Car.
Lawrence Perry, "a, colored
an employee of the District Waite,
Department, was driving to work
at the time Of the accident. He
saw, he said, the bus swervine
down Sheriff road heading right
at him. He pulled his car to
the curb to miss a head-on col
lision. The bus, he said, struck
the side of his car, then went
over the sidewalk.
It was estimated the bus hao
travelled about 200 yards from
the point of the accident in its
wild run down Sheriff road.
Mr.. Brooks said he was in bed
at the time of the accident
about ISIS am. He heard a
crash, ran out of his house and
saw the bus hanging over his
front yard. He said the driver
was apparently stunned and was
bleeding.
An unidentified man removed
the injured man, who was taker
by ambulance to the hospital.

Supple Firmness

Thus. administration policy to-
ward Communist China combines
negative and positive approaches
into a sort Of supple f1rmness to-
ward Red China.
There are powerful forces inside
both executive and legislative
branches that advocate accenting
either the positive OF the negative
more heavily. But few if any adj
vocate 'stressing both.
Yet that is clearly the two
pronged course that would best At
the NIT panels set of facts about
Red China.
On the negative side, there is
room for a sitter military policy
and a tighter economic embargo.
Red China is too weak to go to war.
On the positive side, economic aid
for free Asia must be increased
dramatically, not leisurely, If Red
China's people are to become dis
enchanted.
To support such dynamic action,
of course, the American people
would be called on for a new quality
of perseverance - stern patience
with Communist bullying and res
olute bearing of the tax burden to
support the costlier programs.
No modern democracy has yet
been able to arouse itself to a COM
parable effort without the stimulus
of an about war. Perhaps that is
why the Eisenhower administra-
ton hasn't bothered to try.

make a sort of showcase of China's

How much money is necessary to
finance this positive side? Japan's
Premier Yoshida proposes a $4-bil-
lion-a-year program. That may be
high. Certainly nothing so grandiose
is being considered in this country.

Bloneos and Colorodos
In addition to foreign interven-
ton, Uruguay experienced much in
ternal strife. This was due princi-
pally to the intense rivalry between
Blancos and Colorados, the two
political parties which appeared
shortly after creation of the repub-
lie. It was rivalry all the more
destructive because of the military
psychology engendered by the long
period of warfare preceding indie
pendence.
About the turn Of the present
century Uruguay entered an era of
rapid political and economic develop
ment. Blessed with good land and
climate and strategic location &C
cessible to the outside world, the
country had attracted many Euro
pean immigrants. A real interest in
education had also been aroused,
These and other factors prepared the
way for Jose Battle y Ordonez and
a great reform movement.

Uruguay into a unique position.

to be wrung out of the peasant,
already frail from hunger.
The focus of Peiping's problem,
then, is agricultural output. What
ever discomfort arises among the
peasants over stringent crop collec-
tons and farm collectivization must
be overridden. Expected popula-
ton increases must be taken In
stride. Cushions that Stain had
in 1929 will be absent from the
China scene.
What happens if the peasant
gets disguised with collectivization?
The Russian peasant greeted Sta
Inns first five-year plan with 20
per cent drop in agricultural pro-
duction. But communism survived.
Such crisis in China might strain
Peiping's hold, but it is by no means
certain that the Communists would
be deposed. Stain proved how far
