An Anti-Worry Program For Everyday Human Living History’s Greatest Optimist Sets Forth The Principles Os Serene Life—“ Consider The Lilies” — Putting First Things First — Investments

That Are Never Lost. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Al the moment, I am sojourning in southern Florida, amidst such an exhibition of frantic pleasure seeking as may bo seen nowhere else on the continent. Myriads of Winter visitors, in quest of sun ny skies, rest and recreation, have called into existence an amazing volume ot professional purveying of pleasure. Night clubs, horse races, dog races, sports of every kind, a plethora of motion picture houses and restaurants, and meetings of endless variety, make their plea to tourists from every day's newspaper. It is an absorbing spectacle to watch so many persons engrossed in pursuit of "a good time.” For most of them are going the wrong way about it. They depend upon outside agencies to keep them amused. And their faces do not mirror serenity and happiness. They are in mad chase after things, thing, things. As a baby needs a rattle, so many lives demand artificial diversion. Some Surprising Statistics Trade illustrates the growing kingship of things. It is estimated that about 365,000 di*erent articles are for sale in the United States and Canada. A century ago according to Arnold's Commentary, the individual had sixteen needs and four hundred and eighty-four wants. The men who gathered these statistics give point to Lowell’s familiar lines: "For a cap and bells our lives we pay. Bubbles we buy with a whole soul's taking: 'Tis only heaven that is given away, 'Tis only God may be had for the asking." Five years of depresion surely should have taught us that "a man's life consisted) not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth"; and should have prepared for us the Jesus programme of worth-while standards. Many, it is true, have learned that "although they have less to live on they have more to live for.” Russel Oweu, the brilian journalist who accompanied Byrd to Antartica. wrote an article recently showing how the glamour of civilization's piled up artificialities is less worth while than the primitive existence of the Artic wastes. With the increase of things goes the increase of worries. No thoughtful person can **»»»**»» **••**•** * The Sunday School Lesson for March 22 is Seeking First Things First.—Luke 12:22-34. **«**•**•

miss the significance of the Increase of suicides and the growth I of “nervous prostration” in this' era of civilization's highest complexity. The Great Teacher Speaks If people believed that the wisest Teacher of all, Jesus ot Nazareth, really spoke the truth, there would be an end to this prevalent fear and worrying. Jesus completely contradicted the habit of our time when He declared, “Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall put on. For the life is more than j the food, and the body than the raiment.” Thus He laid down the platform and programme for the greatest "Don't Worry Society" of the ages. No thin, jej un q optimism that shuts its eyes to reality was this declaration of Rabbi Jesus. He first stressed the fatherly care of God. the point wherein faith oftenest fails. "Think about it.' said Jesus; “consider” — "consider the lilies,” "consider the ravens.” All the basic processes ot provision are in the keeping of the Heavenly Father. He cares for His own. Not a sparrow falls without His watchful eye seeing it. The very hairs of our head are numbered. God's chief interest on earth is man: and man's chief interest should be God. Quit your worrying; "do let God be God ” Learn to say “Our Father." and mean it. All the worried creases in a Christian's broware but advertisements of unbelief. If God is trustworthy in anything. He is trustworthy in everything. His providence for man’s least needs is as sure a proof of His Godship as the creation of the universe. Putting First Things First Practical heathenism. Jesus dub(bed our common anxiety and worrisomeness over life's material things. That is the way the Gentiles behave. He declared. His friends should know better. After citing the Divine care for the creatures of nature — even the grass of the field — the Teacher went on to expound the profound truth that man was made for higher ends than fretting cares about material things. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and all these things shall be pdded unto you.” We cannot all be St. Francises, renouncing society for a life of wandering mendicancy, but we can have his childlike faith that in a God-enveloped world we should live for the things of the spirit. Suppose that every man and woman who is at this hour giving anxious thought to clothes and personal appearance— and to read the magazine advertisements one might suppose that nothing else mattered —were to give equal thought to the state of his or her soul, and tp the progress trf the

kingdom of God on earth, what a revolution would eusule! Lite is out of kelter in the world today simply betause people are putting second things first. The Master's summon* is that we should live for essential objectives, for the things that really matter and that last forever. Guarding The Treasure With no foe iu sight to attack, the United States Government is nevertheless now engaged In moving billions of dollars worth of precious metal away from the coasts into new and impregnable vaults in Colorado and Kentucky. Thus a nation takes thought ot its treasure. His friends were told by Jesus to do the same. Lay up your treasures where they will be safe. The depression has taught millions that many supposedly safe places for their wealth were of flimsy inworrying about where to invest in security. In fact, rich men are still confidence that their capital will not be lost. There really is no such i place in existence. Such a change in the existing order as has been witnessed In Kusisa simply wipes out individual wealth, in whatever form. Russia gives point to the warnings of Jesus concerning material riches. But He bids us store up our treasures where age. nor theft, nor natural processes can destroy them. Live for the Kingdom; send your life's store ahead to heaven, as Europe is now sending gold to the United States; and the investment will never fail. If we live to give, our real interest will be in whatever concerns the Kingdom. “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

The central hall with f lasl Rm litem Tcooe the formal stair lends a sense of dignity and permanence that gives to the visitor the key to rest of the house. The living room is large, well lighted, and lends itself to good furniture arrangement, and with an entrance to the dining room from the hall, the living room need not be used as a passage. The music room could be a library or study or even another bedroom if the needs of the family required it. The connected garage is nicely handled, with its arched driveway lending a point of interest to the exterior. The bedrooms are ample in size and provide good furniture spaces, and each having windows on three sides, good ventilation ii assured. Good closet spaces arc provided throughout, and a large storeroom over the garage for trunks and other bulky pieces. The cottage was financed by a single first mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration. This house may be huilt with or without a basement, but if built in a cold climate a heater room would have to be added in lieu of a basement.

FIRE DAMAGES CHURCH FRIDAY Garrett M. E. Church Suffers SIO,OOO Fire Loss Friday Garrett, Mur. 14. — Fire awepl through the entire front interior of the Garrett Methodist church, Houston and Cowen etreets. Friday, causing an approximate property loss Os 110,000, which Included the destruction of a 13.500 Kimball pipe; organ. The blaze was discovered by a passerby, who stopped at the parsonage next door and informed the pastor, Rev. B, H Franklin, who gave the alarm. Both trucks answered the call and it was about an hour before the fire was under control. On entering the church the firemen were handicapped in the location of the fire because of the intensity of the smoke. They were only able to remain inside tor a few minutes at a time. It is presumed that defective electrical wiring either in the pipe organ or nearby started the blaze as the janitor at 10 o'clock had endeavored to connect the vacuum eweeper, -but was unable to because of no current. Besides the organ, the organ chambers, choir loft, the pulpit, a piano, all the paneling in the front of the church, the rugs, several art glass windows and the equipment in the kitchen located below was destroyed. Damage done to the rest of the church by smoke atid water will necessitate complete redecorating. The loss was covered by insurance. A fireman, Charles Lumm, suffered an eye injui’y. The Auburn file department was called <to assist. Rev. Franklin was formerly pastor of the Decatur M. E. church and is a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. F. 'V. Mills of this city. —o HOMESTEADS TO PAGE ONE)' tenants is only three per cent a year. The exact cost of the houses has not yet been determined by the government and as soon as these figures are completed, new will be made with tho present tenants and agreements made relative to payments, taxes, insurance and upkeep. Dr. Terpenning stated that the department was more than pleased with the cooperation shown by Decatur people and local govern mental units towards the homestead project.
