Ohio and Mississippi Valleys Devastated by Flood
1—Flood refugees load their possessions aboard a truck prior to fleeing to higher ground. 2—Cat is ma
rooned on a second story window ledge as Ohio river flood waters rise. 3—Flood sufferers at Portsmouth,
Ohio, are fed by boatmen who row about streets, handing bread to refugees above the water line.
Tank Cars of Drinking Water for Flood Sufferers
Tank cars, normally milk cars, are shown being loaded with water in Chicago and started southward
to the flood scourged sufferers in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys where water was so contaminated that it
was unsafe for human consumption.
Coast Guard Rescues Flood Victims
EVACUATION AREA
Flood victims in coast guard boats shown arriving at Jeffersonville,
Ind., across the river from Louisville, Ky., where they were placed on
refugee trains and taken to safety further north. Floods on the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers were the worst in the history of the country.
More than 1,000,000 people were made homeless by the treacherous
waters that rose over retaining walls, inundated cities and towns and
covered rich farm areas. Damage of^property exceeded half a billion
dollars.

Largest peace time removal of
civilians in history, the project was
conceived to save the lives of more

Orphans of the Flood Find Refuge
Refugee children from the flooded districts of northern and eastern
Arkansas are shown asieep on the floor of a railroad station following
their rescue. With millions of acres of farm land under water and count
less cities inundated, the Ohio and Mississippi valleys experienced the
most devastating flood in history.
HEADS FLOOD RELIEF

istrator who has directed the work
of more than 50,000 federal relief
workers in the flood area. Besides
rescue and first aid work, the toilers
have begun the task of rehabilita

will confront Ohio and Mississippi
river cities for several months to

Dean of the Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.

Lesson for February 7
JESUS THE LIGHT OF THE
WORLD
LESSON TEXT—John 8:12. 31. 32; 9:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—I am the light of the
world: he that followeth me shall not walk
in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
PRIMARY TOPIC—When Jesua Passed
By.
JUNIOR TOPIC—When Jesus Passed By.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
How Jesus Is the Light of the World.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Walking In the Light With Jesus.
“The Light of the World Is
Jesus!” Who does not remember
with what delight we as children
sang “Come to the light, ’tis shining
for thee . . . The Light of the world
is Jesus.” How precious was the
truth that thus flooded our souls.
Jesus was the light, and just as the
sunlight shed its glory on an awak
ening world at dawn, so he shed
abroad the light of God in the hearts
of men. The writer of these les
sons pens these words with the
prayer that as this portion of God’s
Holy Word is studied and taught,
the light may break forth on many
a soul caught in the bewilderment of
this dark world.
Our study centers around three
simple words fraught with beauty
and rich in meaning.
I. Light (John 8:12).
The text says, “Then Spake
Jesus.” When? Just after he had
silenced the hypocritical accusers
of a woman taken in sin, and had
spoken the word of peace to her
troubled soul. She was to “go and
sin no more” because she had met
him who is the “Light of the
World.” They that follow him “shall
not walk in darkness”; they are the
children of light, they have the very
light of life.
II. Freedom (w. 31, 32).
Free! Four letters, but what
depth of meaning 1 Chains have fall
en off, prison doors are open. The
one who was bound is free.
But here we are concerned with
an even more important liberty, the
freedom of the soul. Many there
are who boast of their independence
but who are naught but slaves.
Jesus said, “Whogoever committeth
sin is the servant of sin” (John
8:34), not its master.
How shall they be freed? Note
three things in these verses. (1) A
condition, “If ye continue in my
word.” This means not only a pro
fession of faith but a daily appropri
ation and realization of his truth in
life. (2) A promise, “Ye shall know
the truth.” The philosophies of men
profess to be a seeking after truth
but how few there are who look to
the one place where it can be found
—in Jesus Christ. (3) A result,
“the truth shall make you free.”
Truth always sets free. Men are
enslaved because, as in some for
eign lands, they have not had the
opportunity to learn the truth (we
have failed to send it) or because
they have rejected it.
III. Vision (John 9:1-11).
This is one of the most instructive
passages in Scripture. A man born
blind is seen by Jesus. His dis
ciples note his intent and begin to
theorize on a theological question.
They had learned so little of the
compassionate spirit of Jesus that
they saw in this blighted life only
an illustration of a theological the
ory. May God help us that we may
never be so blind.
Jesus goes at once to work. He
was in the world to do the works of
God. He and the Father always
work. Let us follow his blessed
example. “The King’s business re
quires haste.” Let us work “while
it is day, the night cometh when
no man can work.”
By a loving and gracious act,
Jesus stirs in the heart of the man
that faith which causes him to go,
to wash, and, glory to God, he sees!
Such a personal experience of the
divine power of the Son of God
leaves no doubt in the man’s mind
that the one who caused him to
see “is a prophet.” All of a man’s
doubts concerning the deity of Jesus
Christ disappear when he becomes
his Saviour.
Read the remainder of the chap
ter and note how this man’s faith is
victorious in the face of trials, per
secution, and even of excommuni
cation; for outside the temple he
met Jesus and takes him as his
Lord. As Dr. Scroggie puts it, “His
excommunication was a promotion.
He went from the synagogue to the
Saviour.”
Thinking of Seif Only
Show me the man who would go
to heaven alone, and I will show you
one who will never be admitted
there.—Feltham.
Laws to Fit the People
Laws should be like clothes. They
should be made to fit the people
they are meant to serve.—Clarence
Darrow.
Divine Confidence
Divine confidence can swim upon
those seas which feeble reason can
not fathom.—W. Seeker.
Beware of Hypocrisy
There is nothing against which
our Lord warns us so terribly as
hypocrisy.
f
Going to the Party?
W HERE is the party? At Mrs.
Smith’s on Walnut street and
it looks awfully much as though
the principals were caught by the
candid camera. Luckily, how
ever, they’re perfectly groomed
for their parts:
Introducing Janet.
Janet in her jumper (Pattern
1996) is asking Mother which
glassware to use. Her plaid blouse
in taffeta makes her feel very
dressed up. Mother chose this
style because the many possibili
ties for change make it a ward
robe rather than a dress and she
knew it would be easy-to-make.
Your own little girl may have
this same ensemble in sizes 6, 8,
10, 12, and 14 years. Size 8 re
quires 1% yards of 39 inch ma
terial for the jumper and 1%
yards for the blouse.
Mother, the Hostess.
Mother is the perfect hostess,
calm and assured, because she
knows her all-occasion frock with
its sprightly crisp apron (Pattern
1220) is becoming and appropri
ate. For house wear she made
up this model in print. She is
wearing here the crepe version
and knows that it will be delight
ful for later on in cool black and
white. It comes in sizes 34, 36,
38, 40, 42, 44, and 46. The dress
and apron in size 36 require 5%
yards of 39 inch material. The
apron alone requires 1% yards.
And the Guest.
The guest just arriving is wear
ing her trigest Sew-Your-Own.
She likes it because the puffed
shoulders and swing skirt make
her hips look smaller. The collar
is young and the sleeves stylish.
This frock is especially chic in
silk crepe alpaca or one of the
lovely new prints. For your own
daytime distinction, then, why not
make up Pattern 1205? It is avail*
able in sizes 14, 16, 18, and 2A
(32 to 42 bust). Size 16 requires
4% yards of 39 inch material. One
ball of yarn required for trim
ming as pictured.

Calotabs Help Nature
To Throw Off a Cold
Millions have found in Calotabs a
most valuable aid in the treatment
of colds. They take one or two tab
lets the first night and repeat the
third or fourth night if needed.
How do Calotabs help Nature
throw off a cold? First, Calotabs
are one of the most thorough and
dependable of all intestinal elimi-
nants, thus cleansing the intestinal
tract of the germ-laden mucus and
toxines. Second, Calotabs are diu
retic to the kidneys, promoting the
elimination of cold poisons from
the blood. Thus Calotabs serve
the double purpose of a purgative
and diuretic, both of which are
needed in the treatment of colds.
Calotabs are quite economical;
only twenty-five cents for the fam
ily package, ten cents for the trial
package. (Adv.)
Good as Well
Why is “human nature” always
interpreted as bad human nature?
Wasted Indignation
Most indignation is wasted.
Nothing results from it.
