Justice Makes Its Yearly Trip to River Thames
This most unusual scene is duplicated on the River Thames in Rochester, Eng., but once a year, when the
mayor of one of the five so-called “Zinque cities” presides as admiral over the admiralty court. The
court convenes once a year on a barge. All squabbles which have arisen during the past year among those
who make their living on the river are brought up and ironed out. This year the mayor of Rochester
presided, and is seen seated in the hold of the barge, surrounded by his aldermen. Waiting on the barge
are the complainants and defendants who have waited one year for justice to be meted out.

HOUSING
U. S. May Discover ‘Yardstick’
In Low-Cost Indiana Project
T HIS is the living room of a home costing somewhere less than $2,500.
In July, 1937, four brothers named Hoess at Hammond, tnd., divid
ed a 40-acre “white elephant” plot into one-acre lots, then sold homes
to low-wage earners and provided them enough land for productive
gardening. Thirty-six homes have been built, most of them four rooms
with bath on which tenants pay $20 to $25 a month.
Painting, decorating and installation of light fixtures is left to occu
pants, who not only enjoy working on their own homes but take better
care of them that way. Interest in the Hoess plan has become so wide
spread that the O'Mahoney economic committee is investigating it as a
possible model for future II, S. housing activity.
‘Welcome Home, Daddy,’ Music to Jack
Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion of the world, received
a warm welcome from his daughters, Joan, left, and Barbara, when he
returned home to New York after convalescing from an appendicitis
operation at a seashore resort. His roadwork so far has consisted of
a few turns around the block. His daughters made sure of fcis welcome
by inscribing it on their playroom blackboard.
‘Nudity Show’ Brings Police by Carload
It all sounded pretty awful when Boston police were notified by an
indignant woman that a “shocking” display of nudity was taking place
at the Russell Dorr home. A carful of husky cops sped to the scene to
protect the community's morals—and found 11-months-old Bruce Buf bee
Dorr taking a sun bath in his “birthday” suit. The police hastily ruled
that Master Bruce could play in the sun, without clothing, any time he
pleases. Mrs. Dorr has her own ideas about neighbors who complain.
Rules No Help to Him
Food bills are cut down by gardening. Fresh eggs are within easy

enjoy sunshine and fresh air.

Cool Headed
Most of the 40-acre plot is already sold and constructed, but cus
tomers still come. Not te be compared with FHA homes, Hoess houses
are smaller, less carefully constructed, yet many housing experts think
they fit the average income better. .

ELISHA: A LIFE OF
HELPFULNESS
LESSON TEXT—n Kings 14.
GOLDEN TEXT—Be ye kind one to an-
Other.—Ephesians 4:32.
“Loving kindness and tender mer
cies” (Ps. 103:4) are among the glo
rious attributes of our God, and con
sequently characteristic of those
who love and serve Him. The world
has all but forgotten these virtues,
for in its brutal determination to
achieve results there is only an out
ward veneer of courtesy and consid
eration which extends itself primari
ly to those from whom some advan
tage may be obtained or who are
highly regarded because of their
wealth or position. The poor and
needy, the aged and afflicted are
quickly brushed aside as unfortu
nate hindrances in the path of prog
ress.
In all times God’s people have
been those most considerate of oth
ers. It is they who have given time
and effort and means to help those
in need. The life of Elisha is well
characterized as a life of helpful
ness. It is surprising to find how
many of his miracles were for the
purpose of helping others. God’s
servants are called to be leaders and
to be preachers, but they are none
theless called to carry on a life of
helpful service. Elisha’s experience
with Naaman suggests how we may
exercise such a ministry. Without
seeking to designate verses in the
text, shall we observe that we must
I. Find the One in Need.
It is not always that the one with
the deepest need makes himself
known. In fact, it is commonly true
that those who have the greatest
need and are possibly the most
worthy of help keep their sorrows
to themselves. Certainly it is true
that those affl’eted with the leprosy
of sin do not often come to church.
We must go out and seek them and
bring them in.
One of the weaknesses of many
churches today is that they go
through their regular services,
which may include preaching the
gospel, and then they lament the
fact that sinners do not come to the
services to hear and be saved. Let
us be reminded that it is our busi
ness to go out into the highways
and the byways to find those in need.
Naaman’s experience illustrates how
the simple word of a little slave
girl was instrumental in bringing the
leper in touch with the man of God.
Had she failed in her responsibility,
the prophet would have missed his
opportunity to minister. Even the
humblest believer has his important
work, seeking out the lost and
needy, and may thus be the means
«f bringing about great blessing.
H. Locate and Diagnose the Con
dition.
Naaman knew that he had leprosy,
but he did not know that he had a
blight of soul called pride. The
prophet, acting under the guidance
and control of God, struck right at
the heart of things when he directed
Naaman to crush his pride and to
show his faith by obeying God’s
command to wash seven times in the
Jordan.
The story has many important ap
plications. Let us be sure that in
our efforts to help people physically
or socially, we get through to their
real need, the need of Christ. Let
us also be careful not to modify or
change God’s requirement. There
is one way of salvation—through
faith in Christ; there is no other
remedy for sin. A man “must be
born again” or “he cannot enter
the kingdom of God” (see John 3:
3-7). If men are too proud to go
that way, they cannot be saved.
Observe also that there was no re
spect of persons on tbe part of Eli
sha. Naaman was a great and dis
tinguished man, ready to bestow
rich gifts, but the man of God had
no interest in those things. He want
ed only to give God’s message.
III. Apply the Remedy.
One would be quick to condemn
the trained physician who, having
found his patient and having given
his attention to his need, made a
careful and accurate diagnosis and
then sent him away without apply
ing the cure which was in his pos
session. As the servants of Christ
the great Physician, engaged in the
cure of souls, we need to be equally
wise. It is commendable to engage
in a discussion of the problems of
needy men and women, expressing
our heart interest in that need. It
is desirable that we clarify our
knowledge of their need and accu
rately understand the truth of the
gospel which meets that need. How
ever, all of these things are quite
meaningless unless they result in the
bringing of the gospel to bear on the
lives of the unconverted.
Solitude
An hour of solitude, passed in sin
cere and earnest prayer or con
flict with, and conquest over, a sin
gle passion or subtle bosom sin,
will teach us more of thought, will
more effectually awaken the fac
ulty and form the habit of reflection
than a year’s study in the schools
without them.—Coleridge.

How Women
in Their 40’s
Can Attract Men
Here’s good advice for a woman during her
change (usually from 33 to 52), who fears
she’ll lose her appeal to men, who worries
about hot flashes, loss of pep, dizzy spells,
upset nerves and moody spells.
Get more fresh air, 8 hrs. sleep and if you
need a good general system tonic take Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made
especially for women. It helps Nature build
up physical resistance, thus helps give more
vivacity to enjoy life and assist calming
jittery nerves and disturbing symptoms that
often accompany change of life. WELL
WORTH TRYING!
