.^■EW YORK.—One bright, sunny
■ L ~ day in July, 1920, King Chris
tian X of Denmark, mounted on a
beautiful white horse, led his troops
it across a
Military t orce boundary line
It New Problem to reclaim the
Tor Dartith King
lost to the Germans in 1864. Den
mark had been crippled in the World
war, suffering much more than Nor
way and Sweden, but somehow she
had managed to save her little king
dom. The king, addressing a cheer
ing throng, hailed the organization
of international law and order, un
der which small nations could live
in peace.
The king, who is six feet, six
inches tall, the tallest man in his
kingdom, recruited a guard of the
tallest and handsomest young men
he could find, but none so tall as he.
They were gorgeously uniformed
and the ceremony of the changing
of the guard might have been read
ied by Franz Lehar. But many
times, the king reminded his people
that all this was merely appropri
ate ceremonial, and that Denmark’s
safety lay in keeping in the van
guard of civilization, and not in
armed forces.
Last summer, under great nerv
ous tension, he seemed to feel that
the pozers of darkness were clos
ing in, and suffered a serious ill
ness. Today, with the fate of Den
mark resolved in far-ranging and
desperate issues, the old king, near
ing 70, yields to the inevitable. The
New world structure of law and or
der has fallen and Denmark is one
of many casualties.
At the age of 28, Christian mar
ried Alexandrine, princess of Meck-
lenburg-Schwerin. When he was
crowned in May, 1912, the Danish
populace was prepared to dislike
him, descendant of an alien dynasty
as he was, and there were some
overt demonstrations against him.
But he won his people with his fur
therance of a liberal, constitutional
government. Although he was
trained as an army officer, and had
a liking for military pomp, he fre
quently denounced militarism and
opposed efforts to gn. his tiny coun
try goose-stepping and arming.
While he was proud of having the
tallest and most resplendent guard
in Europe, he slipped away from his
bodyguards at every opportunity
and enjoyed tremendously bicycling
around Copenhagen, unattended.
Into the ruck with Denmark’s gains
of two decades goes what probably
has been the world’s most succes-
ful state-sponsored industrial and
agricultural co-operation.

assaying in the gold fields inspired
his system of getting the mill-run
of public sentiment. He once told
this reporter about his interesting
career. Taking a start from the
wilds of the Michigan peninsula,
when he was 18, notes from his di
ary might be something like this:
Rode the rods on the way to Seat
tle. Found more comfort in the
cattle car.
Landed in Yakima, did this and
that, and finally got to Seattle. Since
I had learned to set type at the age
of nine, I convinced the Post-Intel
ligencer I was a newspaper man.
Managed to get by, but realized
an education might help, so started
grabbing one off the side at the Uni
versity of Washington. Found Dr.
jRenry Suzallo, the president, was the
greatest man I ever met.
Dr. Suzallo said Henry Ford want-
ad him to send somebody on his
peace ship and it might as well
be me.
Went on the peace ship; came
home and rammed around the Texas
oil fields and then got to Alaska.
Fell in with Ben Smith, who had a
real gold mine. Came back home
and got into Wall Street and poli
tics.
Began assaying political mother
lodes; got so I could tell whether
I would get a string of color, and
found I was assistant to Mr. James
Farley, chairman of the national
Democratic committee.
Like Mr. Garner.

EIGHTEEN years ago, Manuel
Quezon, president of the Philip
pine commonwealth, said to a group
of American business men, “I would
rather live under a government run
like hell by Filipinos than under a
government run like heaven by
Americans.” Now, with the shadow
of Nippon reaching out into the Pa
cific, he isn’t so sure. Word from
Washington is that while he still
thinks 1946 may be all right for
casting off, but he is dickering for
a re-examination of the Philippine
problem.

TINE of the Los Angeles
Superior court conducted an
important trial recently—not in
court, however, and the judge
wore overalls instead of his ju
dicial robes.
The issue at stake was wheth
er or not he still retained his skill
as a locomotive engineer. The
scene was a movie location set,
and the stars of “Torrid Zone”
comprised the jury. It seems that
years ago the judge was a railway
engineer, and when he learned that
an old-time locomotive would be run
over its own private track on the
movie location, the jurist accepted
the invitation of the location man
ager—also a former engineer—to
put the train through its paces.
With Pat O’Brien and Andy De-
vine in the cab, His Honor took the
driver’s seat, tugged the whistle
cord and opened the throttle. He
made the two-mile run in six min
utes flat, cheered on by his two pas
sengers.

their gift for smart, sophisticated

Los Angeles is noted as being one
of the athletic centers of the coun
try, but when Ona Munson (the
“Belle Watling” of “Gone With the
Wind,” and the “Lorelei” of radio’s
“Big Town,”) landed out there she
couldn’t find any women to play
squash with her. She is an avid
squash fan, so she advertised in a
newspaper for feminine partners,
and received no replies. But Ona
didn’t let that stop her. She was
determined to play squash—and play
squash she does, with men. The
Men’s University Club in Hollywood
has an ironclad rule—“No Women
Allowed.” She’s an exception. She’s
admitted, to play squash—but on
Sundays only.

ISAIAH COMFORTS
AN AFFLICTED PEOPLE
LESSON TEXT—Is*l»h 40:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—God Is our refuse and
strength, a very present help In trouble.—
Psalir. 48:1.
"Comfort ye, comfort ye my
people, saith the Lord,” knowing as
He alone can the great heart sob
of sorrow, pain, and disappointment
which arises to Him from His
people everywhere. No study of
God’s Word which omits His tender
word of comfort is in any sense com
plete. No teacher or preacher who
fails to bring that message to his
people is declaring the full counsel
of God. No more appropriate pas
sage could be chosen for presenting
that truth than Isaiah 40.
The prophet spoke to a people who
were experiencing the bitter treat
ment of their enemies. They were
facing the devastation of their coun
try and the deportation of its people
into captivity. In such a desperate
day one might say that there could
be no true word of comfort, but
there was, and that word may well
encourage us to look up in this our
confusing day. The Comforter of
Israel is ready to be our comforter.
I. The Source of Comfort (w. 1-5).
“God is our refuge and strength”
(Ps. 46:1). “Behold your God” (Isa.
40:9). "Comfort ye, saith your God”
(v. 1). He is “the God of all com
fort” (II Cor. 1:3). The astonishing
thing is that mankind is so prone
to seek comfort elsewhere, turning
to God only when everything else
fails rather than going to Him first
cf all.
His comfort is abiding, for it rests
on a removal of the source of all
pain and sorrow, namely sin. The
day of Judah’s comfort is to come
when her “iniquity is pardoned”
(v. 2). That is also the first step
for us to take in seeking comfort,
to repent and forsake our sin, seek
ing pardon in Christ.
The one who brings us God’s com
fort is Jesus Christ. Verses 3 to 5
speak of His coming. John the Bap
tist was the voice and it was Jesus
for whom the way was to be pre
pared (see Luke 3:4-6). Jesus is
the Lord Jehovah, God Himself, the
Son of God, and the bringer of God's
comfort to men’s troubled hearts.
It is He who is revealed in this pas
sage in all of His glory and grace.
II. The Need of Comfort (w. 6-8).
Man thinks he is great, wise, pow
erful and able to take care of him
self. William Henley expressed it in
his “Invictus,”
“I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.”
But God says, “Man is as grass,”
and declares that when “the spirit
of the Lord bloweth” on him he
fades and withers. We know that
God’s witness is true. Boast as he
will in the hour of prosperity and
strength, mem knows in his heart
that when he faces the real issues
of life he is utterly impotent, needy
and undone. Gerald Massey spoke
more truly than William Henley
when he said,
“Surrounded by unnumbered foes
Against my soul the battle goes!”
The man who has come to the end
of himself and who realizes that
there is neither in him nor in his
fellow mortals the strength to meet
life’s struggles is ready for the min
istry of God in Christ, forgiving,
cleansing, strengthening and com
forting. He has come to realize that
“the grass withereth, the flower fad-
eth, but the word of our God shall
stand forever” (v. 8).
III. The Way of Comfort (w. 9-11).
Good tidings were proclaimed
even in that dark hour of Judah’s
history. We have good tidings for
our day as well. Let us declare
them from the mountaintops. Lift
up your voice with strength and do
not be afraid I Here is something
to shout about, “Behold your God!”
The prophet’s holy enthusiasm had
two excellent grounds. First, he
tells us that God is strong. He “will
come with strong hand, and his arm
shall rule for him.” Here is com
fort with assurance because God is
strong. He is also loving and len
der. His strong arm is used to gath
er the lambs to His bosom and to
tenderly lead His sheep. Gentleness
is the attribute not of weakness but
of strength. God’s strong men and
women are His gentlemen and gen
tlewomen. They, like their Lord, are
loving and kind, using their strength
not to destroy or to impress others,
but to help the weak, to bring com
fort in the name of Christ.
Faith of the Future
The faith of the figure, like the
faith of the present artd the faith of
the past, will in its essence be sim
ple. It will be faith in the goodness
of things—faith that the world is
governed for good.—Sir Francis
Younghusband.
