As Amazed Britishers Viewed Runaway Launching
H. M. S. Formidable, new British aircraft carrier, rides serenely off the Belfast, Ireland, ways after
launching: herself a half-hour ahead of time. The 23,000-ton craft started sliding: down the ways as workmen
were knocking out the props preparatory to the launching. As it picked up speed, careening wildly into the
water, it hurled timbers in all directions, killing one woman and injuring 20 other people. Lady Kingsley
Wood, sponsor of the boat, managed to hurl the traditional bottle of champagne at the retreating craft. The
new craft is considered one of the most modern of its kind in the world.
Gov. William Vanderbilt of Rhode Island, right, nnveils a monument presented to the city of Newport by
the Jewish congregation of the city which was first established in 1658 when 15 Jewish families arrived at
Newport from the West Indies. Rabbi Morris Gutstein, right, participated in the exercises, which were part
of the colorful Newport tercentenary celebration.
Flood Waters Undermine Dixie Street
Meet the Champ!
Undermined by flood waters from a swollen tributary of the Alabama
river, this section of the Prattsville, Ala., main street collapsed, halting
traffic through the business district. Floods were caused by heavy rains,
and though there was no loss of life, more than 3,000 persons in the
southern part of the state were forced to flee their homes.
Doctors decided that seven-
months-old Sandra Judd Kirchmann
was the champion baby in the an
nual baby parade at Ocean City, N.
J.—and another look will convince
you the doctors were right.
Wife Beater Collapses in Court
Max Hartwell, confessed Los Angeles, Calif., wife-beater, collapsed
in court recently when the judge administered a withering tongue-lashing.
Hartwell was accused of the unmerciful beating and kicking of his crippled,
frail wife, and of torturing her. After hearing Hartwell’s surly admission,
the judge lamented the fact that whipping post punishment could not be
adminlatered.
Oversees Maneuvers
Maj. Anthony Eden, former for
eign minister of England, gives in
structions to a dispatch rider with
his battalion of rangers (King’s roy
al rifles) in the forest near Beau
lieu, where British army maneuvers
were held.
-AUTUMN SPORTS-
Football Is Serious Business
But Here’s the Funny Side
Each autumn, at risk of smashing their cameras, sports photog
raphers get a classic assortment of pictures from the gridiron. They
catch beautiful action plays, freak accidents, fumbles, penalty plays
and quite a bit of rough stuff generally. The above pose, for example,
is not one of endearment. Jack Williams of Santa Clara is merely using
a high tackle to down St. Mary’s giant, Mike Klotovich. Jack is prob
ably saying, “Beg your pardon, Mike.” And Mike answers, “Not at all.
Jack” . . . maybe, but we doubt it.
There are many variations of the fum
ble, but one variation is as costly as the
next. The fellow below must feel rather
foolish having his arms tucked nicely away
—and lo, no ball!
I’ll huff and Til puff and Til shove—and blow your ballplayer
down. This is one way to break up a passing attack, but don’t try it
while the referee’s watching. The trick, preserved for posterity by
your photographer, cost Georgetown a neat 15-yard penalty in its
game with Hampden-Sidney last autumn. Yes, Sylvia, it's against the
rules. But Georgetown won 51 to 0, anyway.
To prove footbalFs a
rough game: Left: This
chap just collided head-
on with a brick wall of
the grandstand and is
being carried off the field
with severe head lacera
tions and a fractured
wrist. No, Cornelia, we
don’t know why he did it.
Just got mad, perhaps.
Right: Spectators get
it, too. Here is Miss
Thelma Quinn, Tennessee
cheer leader, after being
k. o.’d when she got mixed
up with a bunch of play
ers in last year’s Orange
Bowl game. Which proves
the safest place to watch
a game is over your
radio.

HEZEKIAH: A KING WHO
REMEMBERED GOD
LESSON TEXT—n Chronicles 30:13-22.
GOLDEN TEXT—Turn us again. O God.
and cause thy (ace to ahine; and we shall
be saved.—Psalm 80:3.
The way out—that seems to be the
chief object of the search of men.
The world is in what seems like
hopeless confusion with the immi
nent danger of a devastating explo
sion which may in the judgment of
some destroy civilization. Politics,
economics, education, yes, even re
ligion, have tried their hands at
solving the problem and we seem to
be worse off than ever. Conditions
are much as they were when Heze-
kiah came to the throne after the
death of his wicked father Ahab,
who had brought Judah into moral,
spiritual, and national declension
and disgrace.
The young king brought the na
tion back within a few years to
peace and prosperity. How did he
do it? He did not do it. God did it,
and He did it because Hezekiah re
membered Him and led His people
in a return to God, in a recognition
of His Word, and to restored wor
ship. God therefore prospered them.
It is significant that while our les
son is about King Hezekiah, his per
son quickly recedes into the back
ground of our thinking and God is
given our attention and our praise.
Truly great men do not magnify
themselves or their own names, but
point by their very greatness to the
eternal God to whom they give the
glory. Let us consider how God
worked through Hezekiah.
I. A Cleansed Temple.
Our lesson calls for attention to
the context. Read chapter 29 and
learn how the priests and Levites
first were directed by the king to
cleanse the temple which had suf
fered degradation and disgrace un
der King Ahab. Sixteen days were
devoted to a thorough clean-up.
That’s a good place to start.
America, how about cleaning up our
churches? Some of them need atten
tion to their physical property,
cleaning and rehabilitation. Others
are beautifully kept up as far as
the building is concerned, but the
rubbish is in the teaching and in the
manner of worship. Let’s clean that
up too.
II. A Prepared Priesthood.
Hezekiah gathered the scattered
priests and Levites, but he did not
pe/mit them to serve in the temple
until they had been sanctified and
prepared for tneir work. The men
who stand in the sanctuary to direct
the worship of God must not only be
men of God’s own choosing, but they
must be cleansed by the blood. As
the sacrifices were offered in Heze-
kiah’s day, so for us has One been
given in holy sacrifice, and unless
those who profess to be His min
isters have been cleansed by His
blood they have no proper place in
His service or in the sanctuary.
III. A Purified People.
The people of the nation were not
ready for God’s blessing. Some of
those in the northern kingdom, to
whom the royal invitation had gra
ciously been extended to come to
the Passover, scorned the invitation
(30:10). There was nothing that
could be done for them. But others
humbled themselves and came (v.
11), and those in Judah came out in
a great assembly (vv. 12, 13).
Observe carefully that this was
more than a great homecoming or
jubilee event. The people were here
to worship God and they needed to
be prepared by being “healed” of
their sins (w. 18, 20). They too
needed the cleansing blood. It is the
only way even now, for “without the
shedding of blood there is no re
mission of sin” (Heb. 9:22). Sin is
what we must be cleansed from and
healed of if God is to bless our land.
IV. A Feast of Joy and Blessing.
The nation and its leaders kept the
feast not only for seven days, for
they were not satisfied with this, but
they kept it for seven more days.
Think of many of us who can hardly
sit through an hour of service on
Sunday morning, and if we also go
to Sunday school we are quite worn
out. It is just “impossible” for us
to get to the Sunday evening serv
ice or to the midweek prayer meet
ing. Evidently we do not have the
spirit of the people of Hezekiah’s
day or the joy that they found in
their hearts as they worshiped God.
If we did, we would seek His house
and give ourselves gladly to His
worship. The result would be that
we would receive some of the great
blessings which came to the people
of Judah.
The reading of II Chronicles 31
and 32 will reveal how God respond
ed to the cry of His people and how
He blessed and prospered them.
He is the same God today and He
can and will do wondrous things for
those who trust and honor Him.
Commonest Faults
Some of the commonest faults of
thought and work are those which
come from thinking too poorly of
our own lives and of that which
must rightly be demanded of us.—
Bishop Paget.

How Women
in Their 40’s
Can Attract Men
Here's good advice for a woman during her
change (usually from 38 to 62), who lean
she'll lose her appeal to men, who worrier
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 ’ife and assist calming
jittery nerves and disturbing symptoms that
often accompany change of life. WELL
WORTH TRYINGl
Strong Take the Weak
We have unmistakable proof
that throughout all past time,
there has been a ceaseless de
vouring of the weak by the strong.
