HARPER ommandment to keep the sab bath day holy, with the reasor ?iven that the Creator rested or the seventh day and hallowed it; the teaching of Isaiah that the sabbath should be a delight, and the attitude of Jesus toward the holy day. When the disciples plucked grain on the sabbath and were condemned by the Pharisees, Jesus indicated that it is right to satis fy hunger on the sabbath. David and his men were not held guilty of impiety when they ate the shewbread of the tabernacle. Al so, in the case of the man with a withered hand, Jesus showed by His own example that it is right to labor to do good on the sab bath. dopted by Christians as their holy day. Life is more complex than when the commandment of the sabbath was given. Cessation of 11 work on Sunday would disrup; everything. As Jesus declared He came ■»ot to destroy the law but to ful fill it. We are in no danger of icing too strict in our observance, but we are in danger of being too lax. Let us permit ourselves only that which is absolutely necessary, and ensure to ourselves things for which the sabbath is designed— the rest we need, and opportuni ty to worship God and minister to our spiritual nature.” X Conservation News Jesus and the Sabbath.

Emerson, WPB Execu tive Salvage Secretary for South , Carolina, said^ today that many housewives have been neglecting to salvage waste kitchen fats and turn them in promptly to neigh borhood butcher shops so they can be channeled to war plants. Preliminary figures for August, released today, indicate that col lection of kitchen fats in this state during August were only 59.3 per cent. “Many people do not yet realize the great military need for this waste fat.” Mr. Emerson said. “It is essential in the manufacture of i glycerine, and glycerihe is neces sary to produce explosives, and for many medicinal purposes.” Mr. Emerson explained that glycerine is present in tincture of opium and gentian, used as seda tives to ease the pain of wounds, ; n sulpha diazine ointments, in "Meet the ff • • • (Each week In this space will be presented a picture and word portrait of someone whose name is news.) Gen. Sir Harold Alexander army man, he has many staff officers, of war tactics. • “Attack, attack, and attack again, even when you are on the defensive,’’ says Gen. Sir Harold Alexander, the British officer who is com mander of all Allied ground forces in the European war theater. Paradoxically, he is probably best known for conducting two of the war’s most successful retreats—the Dunkerque withdrawal, and the campaign in Burma, where he delayed the Japanese for four months. • General Alexander has advanced swiftly and has served on many assignments. During World War I he saw active service as a 25- year-old major. He went over the top 20 times before he was wounded. In 1934 and ’35 he commanded troops on the northwest frontier of India. •He is a middle-sized man, but remarkably strong and athletic. His toughness and deter mination are proverbial. Though a career not fallen into the mdssback traditionalism of , He is said to take a thoroughly modem view * smallpox vaccine, and in some insulins prescribed for shock, “supplies of which must be great ly increased as our armed forces advance farther into battle •\reas.” National figures show that only a little more than half the amount of fats and grease needed to keep our glycerine stocks at a safe level is being turned in by housewives in the United States. — X Ace From Spokane Maj.
