through every line. Suppose there were no God? He Is the Creator of all: without him ' nothing else can be. The nature of j time and space, of molecule and atom and electron, the mighty < power that holds all together; the emergence of life, of mind, the possibility of thought, of values, whatever is and whatever can be, is because he wills it so. That there is energy in the atom, light 1 in the sun. refreshment in the rain and power in the lightning—that these things can be and that any* thing can be. we thank the God. • • • No Unrighteousness In Him SUPPOSE God were not good? A vast and vicious devil, his Immense mind brimming with intel-1 ligence and malice, could perhaps have contrived a universe more enormous than this corner of one which is known to us. A creative | devil—what pangs he could have invented to torture his creatures! It may be. Indeed, that only an this earth is there rebellion • j against the C: ester. and that elsewhere in Cod’s dominions all is peace. But suppose it were true that all the evil in the world was ordained by some Creative Hatred?—all the goodness In the world only an Illusion, a deception? Suppose it were the intent of gome devilish maker of man finally to destroy all his creatures, or worse still, to make every creature long bitterly for death but find none? Let us thank God for God: the God of mercy whose loving kindness endureth forever. • 00 He Knoweth Our Frame LET us thank God for his providence. He did not create and then forget us. nor give us so much freedom that we could destroy his majesty or bring to naught his mighty plan. Let us thank God for his infinite love and interest that spares and speeds us. bis knowledge of our frame, his remembering even the hairs upon our heads. Let us thank God that being infinite be can have • care for the infinitesimal. and that not a sparrow falls to the ground without our heavenly Father. Let us thank God whose care for us is such that without his knowledge not the least of his creatures can fall asleep. From death end disaster we and the nation and the world have been saved, time and again. Frail is the craft la which the human spirit is launched through this pathless universe: yet it bolds, and will bold, because the universe Is there by bls almighty decree. In spite of the chaos of men's unruly wills, in spite of we know not what rebellions in the spirit world, be sees to it that not one good is ever wnuily losL ... Who Redeemeth Thy Life LET US PRAISE God for his promise and for his faithfulness That he has not left us to our sms nor given us up though long we scorned him; that his divine patience outlasts the hasty heart; that he spared not nis own Son but freely gave him for our sakes; that none who come to him will be cast out; that the God who creates la the God who redeems, we praise him from a heart of love. As the Psalmist of old knew himself as one of the children at the Covenant, so may every man who takes God s promises and makes them his heart's own.

Says Legion Heads Squandering Funds Accuse Top Leaders With Racketeering Salem. Ore, Aug. 5 (UP)—A past national commander of the American Legion today accused top l-egioti offl< lais of "high-level racketeering" that squanders -organization funds. Frank N. Belgrsno. Jr., Portland banker, told a joint meeting of Ixeglon and auxiliary delegates to < the Oregon Legion convention yesterday that the legion was beaded for bankruptcy unless mismanagement ended. He said the legion should have more World War II veterans at the top aud "* policy-making commissions. "We are at the bottom of the barrel financially." he said “This squandering of legion funds must be stopped. If we operate another year on a deficit we will face bankruptcy. Our money is being squandered by legion politicians to advance their own control. "This kind of leadership has brought discredit to the American Lesion. It has dissipated our resources and weakened our effectiveness. We have got to put a stop to this racketeering." He charged that what he called the old political machine of World War I vets Is afraid of losing power to veterans of the last war. Rcfa&e Comment Indianapolis. Aug 5 — (UP) — Spokesmen at the national headquarters of the American Legion ; today refused to comment on charges made at Salem, Ore., that legion officials were squandering : organization funds.

Each of the 58 departments elects one committeeman. Many of the national committee* 1 men succeed themselves for several terms. There were only two World War II veterans on the j committee in 1947-48, and 10 at the present time. The legion does not maintain 1 records showing the service of its members, but it was believed that a large percentage of its more thah .3,500.000 members were veterans only of the last war.

PROGRESS , (Cont. From Pa** O ll ** mUB They have found that an animal vaccinated against one major group will come down with the disease if inoculated with a virus of another group. They also have found that repeated dosages of vaccine material must be given if the Immunity Is to be carried over to the central ner' ous system. Such work is sig-. nificant because paralysis results, when the polio virus attacks the nervous system. The experimen.s here brought up the question of whether immunity against mild attacks of polio would also be effective against the paralytic type The scientists here hope to find the answer. If they do it might mean that n vaccine could be developed that would render harmless the many thousands of persons who it is known carry the polio virus In their intestinal tract although they have no symptoms. In polio epidemic areas it also has l»een shown that many persons exposed intimately to polio patients are carriers of the virus. Even though a vaccine again. -it the paralytic type of polio is never developed, a vaccine neutralizing those persons who carry the virus would be a tremendous step in the control of infantile paralysis, the scientists believe. While the vaccine work here is speeding along, the day when human trials may be made, seems far off. However, "lucky breaks” often
