We have just read that a “hick”

doubt.
“Young Eagle” Lindbergh went up
10,000 feet trying to get above the
sleet storm in his record flight, New
York to Paris. Whereby the Minnes

Uncle Sam is going to do a little

“There was never in our history
such a calamity,” says Heri»ert
Hoover. Henry M. Baker, Red Cross
National Director of Disaster Relief,
colls it “the most staggering disas
ter the country has ever suffered.”
Our people still do » t appreciate
its magnitude or significance, else
they would DEMAND for National
action.
In the Urgent Deficiency Bill,
which fell by the wayside in the ic
o^nt Congress herauMc of a
partisan filibuster, was an np-
propiiation of $8,600,000 to buy
seeds, fertilizer and forage for
districts stricken by crop failuie.
It was n't a crisis item—the flo<xl
had not yet happened. It was a
routine precaution, such as any
prudent Congress would take.
The entire fund of $5,000,000 at
present in sight for the rehabilitation
of the half million absolutely desti
tute victims of the greatest diaas f er
in our history is only a little more
than HALF of the emergency sum
which Congress meant to appropriate

'Hlis $5,000,000, bear in mind, is
not relief money. The Red Crass has
nearly $15,000,000 with which to feed,
clothe and shelter the flood victims
during the peak of their suffering.
Private generosity has responded
magnificently to the call upon its
mercy.

which start life anew from scratch
and win to comfortable American
citizenship in a land where the per

money. Give these pitiable flood vic

Lindbergh Is to get for making the
flight “It is law—end cannot be

nounced apologetically.
.What does the reader/think7 Are
you in favor of oUr country indulging

do not We think Lindbergh should
Have every cent of that $25,000—and
perhaps another hundred thousand or
two from his government for such a
performance. By his feat he has con
tributed more to the nation than it
will ever be able to repay him. He—
with $2,000 of his own hard earned
money—was the largest individual
contributor to the proposed flight.
When all others doubted—he put his
money on the table,—asking help to
ward a fund with which to purihase
an airplane for the history-making
flight. ■*
That Lindbergh now finds himself
In position to pay the tax—many
times over—is a point beyond this
discussion. Could anything be more
fitting—in addition . to alt medals,
titles and honors that can be hung
Ion him by the government—than
that he should have this first $25,000
prize intact—his nation rejoicing with
him that he won; proud of the honor
he brought us; happy that he upheld
the traditions of a brave people; and,
showing by its acts that modesty,
dourage and the indomitable spirit
may always rightfully expect its. re
ward in full from its government?

2. His discourse (w. 86-48).
In the discourse he touches briefly
upon the mission of Jesus, showing
thst by means of His baptism and
fiiolntlng with the Holy Spirit, He was
gilgilfled for His work as- mediator.
He then exhibited the work of Christ:
(1) In His life (w. 30-89).
It was one of beneficence. He went
about doing good, tven casting out
demons as a proof that God was with
Him (v. 88*.
(2) In. His death (v. 39).
The Just suffered for the unjust that
He might bring us to Godll Pet 8:18).
(8) In His resurrection (vv. 40, 41).
In this discourse Is set forth: .
(a) The basis of salvation—the
crucifixion of Christ.
(b) The scope of salvation—who
soever believeth In Him.
(c) The method of appropriating
salvation—believing on Him.
IV. The Holy Spirit; Poured Out
(vv. 44-48).
This was a new Pentecost.
V. ' Peter Vindicates His Ministry
to the Oantilso (11:1-18).
Being called tp account for visiting
and eating with" Gentllca, Peter re^
hearsed the- whole story in such a way
that his narrative took the form of
logical argument, and showed how God
had set His seal upon the work by the
miraculous gift^of the Spirit

Closing the Day
Says Dr. It. A. Torrey: “No bank
ever closes’its business day until Its
balance is found to be absolutely cor
rect. And no Christian should close
a single day until his accounts with
God for that day have been perfectly
adjusted alone with Him.”
The Beat Side
The habit of looking on the beat
side of every event is worth more
than a thousand a year.—Doctor John-
son.

Gentiles. Through the conversion of
Cornelius, the “middle wull of parti
tion” was broken down (Kph. 2:4).
I. Cornelius (10:1, 2).
1. ills olhciul position (v. 1).
He was a Homan officer over u com
pany of lot) soldiers.
2. Ills character (v. 2).
(1) A devout, pious man. (2) He
was a praying man. (3) He was
charitable. He gave much alius. (4)
lie was respected by Ills family.
II. The Supernatural Preparation
for the Transition of tho Gospel to the
Gentllee (10:3-33).
This was of divine arrangement. No
barrier Is too great to prevent the
coming together of persons whom the
Lord desires to meet (n order to
bring this about:
1. Two visions were given.
- ft)" The vision of Cornelius (vv.
3-8).
White engaged In prayer, an angel
of God announced that his prayer und •
alms had come beforff God as a me
morial, and instructed him to send to
Joppa for Deter who would tell him
what to do.
(2) The vision of Peter (vv. 9-16).
This took place while Peter was
praying (v. 9). He saw a certain ves
sel containing clean and unclean ani
mals let down from heaven, and heard
the command, “Rise, Peter, 1 kill and
eat.” Peter protested that he had
never eaten any unclean thing. God
replied, “What God hath cleansed, that
call not thou common.”
2. A messenger sent from Cor
nelius (vv. 17-22).
Peter was greatly perplexed over
what he had seen, but not for long,
for messengers from Cornelius made
inquiry at the gate for him. The
spirit iuforiped Peter of the matter
and hade him go, nothing doubting..
3. The meeting of Cornelius and
Peter (vv. 23-88).
(1) Peter took six witnesses along
(v. 23). - —
(2) Cornelius waiting for Peter
(v. 24).
He called together his kinsmen and
near friends.
* (8* Cornelius about to worship
Peter (vv. 25, 26).
Peter repudiated his act and pro
tested that he was but a man.
(4) The reciprocal explanation (vr.
27-33).
III. Petaria 8*rmon (vv, 34-48).

T',»« foolish waste should be for-
tldden. But it is interesting to
think of that old Treasury clerk
pushing her bicycle back and
forth, meditating on the grand fig
ure that she would cut in death
with her $100000 tomb, she. who
in <iifc had been only a $1,200
ear spinster clerk. Happiness is
argely imagination.
It is suggested unofficially that
Mr. Hughes, formerly Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court, will be
choScn by Governor Fuller of *
Massachusetts as i\ead of a com
mission to investigate the Sacco-
Vanzetti ca$c.
Such a choice would be satis
factory to the country, and the de
cision conclusive. It is more im
portant by far than executing any
two men, to make sure that there
was no mistake or prejudice in
coirvicRon.
The view^ of clergymen each
Sunday present interesting con
trasts, such as would have becn^
unsafe for the clergymen one hun
dred years ago.
The Rev. Dr. Walter Duncan
Buchanan says we are ignorant
about heaven and our uncertainty
is a blessed thing. It gives us
something to hope and work fo{.
The Rev. Dr. Minot Simons,
Unitarian, says wc must look foe
our “compensations” in this life.
Old ideas of heaven and hell “are
now inadequate and futile.”
The Rev. Dr. Straton says Mrs.
Snyder, convicted of helping to
murder her husband, is an atheist.
She couldn’t have commited the
^rime had she believed in God.
If that is so, there have been
atheists iq high places throughout
“history.
Republicans and Democrats are
planning a , 1928 campaign m
which the wet and dry question
wilUbe shelved, forgotten.
Some wets say, “If you do, we
shall start a third party, dripping
wet.”
That would not hurt the feel
ings of Republicans, who have de
cided the Democrats may have
the wet issue.
If, as seems likely, a wet Demo
crat is nominated, the wets- will
know his wetness and -vote 4or
him. A separate wet party would
get as few votes now as a sepa
rate nr diibition party used to
get, in t’.:c old wet days.
Congressman William W. Co-
..en s.tys the Government’s treat
ment of letter carriers and mail
clerks is a disgrace, which , is ac
curate. Mai! workers are ’ under
paid as regulars, .and shamefully
treated a-s substitutes. For the
Government to compel men, per.-
haos with children, to waste an
entire day waiting for one or two
hours’ work, and for the richest
country in the world to pay its
post office force as miserably as
ours are paid, is unworthy.

volve the trading-in of a
buyer’s used car. More and
more people are asking:
"Why should my used car
seem to have several val
ues? .... Why should deal
ers in different makes of
cars offer me allowances
differing materially? .. ,7
: Does the largest allowance
offered mean the best deal
for me?”
* „ ' ■'‘“‘i
Here are basic facts t
I Your used car has seemingly
different values because com
petitive dealers are bidding to sell
you a new car.
a
2 Your used car has only one
fundamental basis of value:
wbat the dealer who accepts it in
trade can get for it in the used car
market.
3 The largest trade-in allowance
which is offered on your used
car is not necessarily the best deal
for you. Sometimes it is; but some
times it is not.
4 An excessive allowance may
mean that you are paying am
excessive price for the new car in
comparison with its real value.
5 Judge the merits of the new
car in comparison with its
price, including all delivery and
finance charges. T/iefi weigh any
difference in allowance offered on
your used car.

purchase and not a safe. You are
buying a new car and simply
applying your present car as a
credit toward the purchase price
of a new car.
