Six-Inch Sermon
By REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM
II Kings 18: 1-7; Isaiah 31: 1-3.
Memory Selection: Psalms 46:10.
In the division of the kingdom of
David and Solomon, the Southern
Kingdom of Judah had several points
of superiority over the. Northern
Kingdom. Judah had the reigning
house of David, which kept the
throne until the end. Jerusalem was
a strong city for a capital. Within it
was the magnificent temple. It is not
strange that the Southern Kingdom
endured for more than a century af
ter the downfall of the Northern
Kingdom.
While there were wicked kings
.who did evil in the sight of the
Lordj there w r ere several great rul
ers in the succession of David. Prom
inent among these was Hezefltiah, the
• good king.” He cleansed the land of
idolatry, and even destroyed the
brazen serpent, that Moses had lifted
up in the wilderness, because it had
become an object of superstitious
veneration. Hezekiah bodly resisted
the Assyrians, and God delivered him
trom the host of Sennacherib before
Jerusalem by a dread visitation that
destroyed the troops.
Greater than Hezeklah was the
mighty prophet Lsaiah. Tireless in his
efforts to preserve the nation, he
was especially active against alliance
with Egypt, not only because it was
the land of his people’s bondage and
should have been abhorrent but also
because dependence upon an earthly
power would supplant trust in Je
hovah. Let us in our own needs today
learn to trust God above all.

As Washington Sees It...
THE NATIONAL SCENE

Special to The Chronicle.
Washington, May 28.—As the Joint
Chiefs of Staff continued their re
buttal of the testimony of General
Douglas MacArthur, deposed far east
commander, disagreeing with Some
of the general's views and assailing
his methods of bringing them to pub
lic attention, the political edge -was
gradually wearing away on interest
in the ‘ great debate” as members of
the congress obtained an overall
global picture of this nation's for
eign policy, as compared to the Asian
picture painted by MacArthur.
Attendance was gradually decreas
ing at the joint senate committee
hearings although general overall in
terest does not appear to be in any
danger of fading away.
• • *
In the meantime several congres
sional committees have taken up
the question of the nation’s purse
strings, the appropriations, the budg
et and just wdiat steps shall be taken
to slash away at governmental ex
penditure. Chief among the subjects
at hand is the annual fight, made on
the growing federal grants-in-aid to
the states. Not only would heavy
slashes made in these grants in aid
i uro some important services which
the people over a long period have
come to ex.pect, but any heavy
slashes into long established federal
giants would work a hardship on
state budgets and bring about local
tax increases, or abolishment of the
services in question.
« * *
During the 1950 fiscal year, the
government disbursed to the states a
total of $2,15(2,337,143 in 41 grant-in-
aid programs according to the sub
committee of the senate committee
on expenditures in the executive de
partments. This w'as a $296,000,000
increase over the same programs in
1949, and for 1952 the budget esti
mate for grants in aid amounts to
$3,176,512,124.
Congress has served notice how
ever that it is in a mood to cut into
some of the budget estimates and
such warnings have come from the
joint committee on the economic re
port, the house and senate appropria
tions (Tinvmittees and the joint com
mittee on reduction of non-essential
expenditures. Usually these grants
are made on a matching basis be
tween the federal government and
the states. The largest such federal
aid grant is for old age assistance
for aged and needy, which for 1950
totaled $#43,161,115, a 16 per cent
increase over 1949 For 1951, $853,-
627,000 was apportioned^
* * *
The second largest grant in aid
is for highway construction, where
for 1951 the expenditure w r as $433,-
125,000. This is the best known of
the grant-in-aid programs and it is
made on., a SO-'bO matching basis.
Third largest is federal aid for de
pendent children under 16. Because
of increased aid voted by congress,
the program show'ed a 25 percent in
crease for 1950 over 1949 and a 46
per cent boost for 1950. Outlay for
1951 is estimated at $345,205,000.
Fourth in line, comes unemploy
ment compensation and employment
administration. States bear actual
cost of unemployment compensation,
but the federal government shares
with the states the cost of adminis
tering the compensation and em
ployment services program. For ISM
the estimate is $171,047,000, a one
per cent increase over 1950. The
school lunch program is filth largest
with the federal government provid
ing assistance in both funds and
food. It increased 10 per cent in 1950
over 1940 and expected cash outlay
lor 1951 is estimated at $64J*5,000.
• • -•
A neaf program — hospital con
struction is sixth largest for 1960.
‘ I
For helping defray hospital and
health center construction Uncle
Sam put out $56,968,000 in 1950 and
expects to spend $75,000,000 this
year. This is a temporary program,
however. Distribution of surplus ag
ricultural commodities is seventh in
line with the figures $35,551,769 in
1950, $50,326,000 in 1950 and approx
imately $25,000,000 in 1951. Nebtt
comes the federal airport program in
which the federal government pro
vides for construction of airports in
the national system. The program is
nearing completion, but cost $32,782,-
00 in 1950 and an estimated $16,-
075,000 in 1951.
Agricultural extension work is the
ninth largest, a long time established
program with $31,025,000 in 1950 and
an estimated $31,547,000 in 1951.

Early Retirement
Servicemen Hit As
Waste of Money
*
Washington, May 26—Rep. Van
Zandt (R., Pa.) figured today that
the taxpayers could be saved near-:
ly a million dollars a year if their,
military men didn’t retire so early.
To meet the situation, he drafted
a bill calling for a three-year mor
atorium on armed forces retire- 1
ments for any but physical reasons.
Van Zandt, a member of the
House Aimed Service committee,,
and a captain in the naval reserve,
said in a statement that from July
1, 1950, to March 1, 1951, a total
of ^,914 officers and enlisted per
sonnel were retired.
,He said that at this rate, his pro
posed' three - year moratorium
would save $2,723,613 in the 36-
month period.
“Many of these persons are in
their early fifties and when retired
have no difficulty in meeting the
physical standards for employment
in private industry,” he continued.
‘‘Because of existing law, hun
dreds of duly qualified officers and
enlisted personnel are being retired'
after 30 years of service or on age. [
In addition, many senior officers
not selected for promotion are also
forced to retire.
‘‘This practice of retiring mili
tary personnel with pay during an
emergency, despite the fact theyi
are fully qualified for further duty,
is a Waste of money and manpow
er, since it is not only requires two
men to fill one job, but it also
places both of them on the federal
payroll.”
Van Zandt said that aside from
saving money, his bill would elimi
nate the necessity of calling up re
serves to replace men retired in the
prime of life.

White Crippler Conquered
Mrs. C. J. Hart Saved From Fear
of Crippling Deformity
“I am horror stricken when I think of my health and what
it might have been, had -it not been for MODERN SCIENTIFIC
CHIROPRACTIC,” says Mrs. C. J. Hart. “I was fast becoming a
helpless cripple because of Arthritis and K began to look as if I
would have to spend my life in a wheel chair.
“Before going to a SCIENTIFIC CHIROPRACTOR 1 had suf
fered 3^ years, confined to bed 12 months, and advised that I
could not hope to get well again. The joints of my fingers, wrists,
elbows, knees and ankles as well as my spine were stiff and
movement was limited due to the calcium deposits. I could walk
only with difficulty, and was embarrassed while attempting to
get about in public due to my crippled condition.
‘“My children have often remarked that 1 do not walk like I
used to. While visiting some former neighbors sometime ago, they
were amazed that I was no longer a cripple and completely recov
ered from the arthritis. Thanks to MODERN SCIENTIFIC CHI
ROPRACTIC.
“After being under MODERN SCIEMTIFC CHIROPRACTIC
care for a short time, my condition responded rapidly and very
soon I was on the road to recovery. My condition never returned.
I am grateful to MODERN SCIENTIFC CHEHPRACTIC for sav
ing me from being a helpless arthritic cripple.”

ALWAYS BE CAREFUL DRIVING
Nov) ecui tiotileU t9i ifovi'T^ It ?
T
he days and weeks are slipping by
-and what have you done about it?
What have you done to find out how
it feels to handle a high-powered and
high-spirited ’51 Buick?
We’ll tell you this. In all the years that
Buick has been building fine automo
biles, there’s never been the match for
this one.
This is a car that likes to be compared
-for power, for performance, for ease
of control, for ride, and room, and
comfort.
W e can tell you its valve-in-head Fire
ball power sinks you back in the cush
ions at the touch of your toe.
We can tell you it’s nimble-footed in
traffic, or that it conquers hills with
smooth and exultant momentum.
We can tell you it hugs the road and
holds the curves as if it were drawn by
an invisible magnet.
We can tell you that it has big, soft coil
springs on all four wheels—or that its
gas mileage will put a smile on your
face.
We can tell you that Dynaflow Drive*
will spoil you for any other type of
power transmission.
But you’ll never know till you try for
yourself what all this really means.
How about coming in for a sample?
Once you’ve experienced all this for
yourself, the modest price tags on Buick
Specials, Supers or Roadmasters
will look like a double bargain.
