O SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Hope for Future Seen in Fact That Faith Prevailed During a Dark Era By WILLIAM E. GILROY. D. D. There are portions of Scripture that seem to have little relation to our- life today. They are of in terest for the light that they throw , on the past, and for the help that they give in the study and interpretation of the Scrip tures, but they stand chiefly as ancient records. But oth?r portions, and this is true- of the greater part of the Scriptures, are as vital and ap plicable for the life of today as if they had been written yesterday, or were coming as fresh from the press as our morning paper. And this is' particularly true of the stories of tho return of the He brew exiles from Babylon, and of their rebuilding of Jerusalem, and reestablishing themselves ;n their homeland, under their great leaders, Ezra and Nehmiah. Thousands, if not millions, to day are in the situation of thes-; ancient Baoylonian exiles. They, or their .mccessors, have been killed, and other thousands have succumbed to their sufferings and burdens. But others, and children of those who have per ished, survive and tho day of de liverance nas come. They will have new perils, and ; RATION j CALENDAR Processed Foods: Book 4 Blue stamps H2 through M2 valid through June 2. Blue stamps N2 through S2 valid through June 30. Blue stamps.

Following the prayer meeting, the new official board will meet for its first ses sion. new enemies, as they take up the task of returning and rebuilding, just as the Jewish exiles who re turned from Babylon had to meet strong opposition from enemios in Babylon, and from those of their own people who had escap ed from exile. Selfish interests will seek to prevail over interests of justice and humanity. The situation will call for all help and inspiration available. And there will be no source of help and inspiration more avail able, or more effective, than is to be found in these books of Ezra and Nehemiah. They ought to be read in their entirety, read and re-read. The reader will find himself baffled a little by the chronological order of events. He may not always be clear just as to where the work of each of these great leaders, Ezra and Ne hemiah, begins and ends, or just how much their tasks of leader ship were related, or overlapped; but he will get a clear picture of their problems and difficulties, and a strong grasp of the faiin that inspired them, and of the in domitable courage with which they built and fought and a'jo of the resourcefulness and per sonal initiative and daring with which they achieved their ends. Along with these books of Ezra and Nehemiah, which give the historical record, must be put the great prophecies of the exile the record of the words of life and hope that kept alive faith; and inspired men to great tasks. The nature of these prophecies may be seen in the work nf the so-called 'second Isaiah," the chapters of that hook from the fortieth to the end. Here are the words of truth that with banner-like precision set forth the high ideals of those who saw in God's call to Israel, and in God's dealings with Israel, not some preference and privi lege of a master race, chosen 'f God with arbitrary disregard uf the rest of the world, but a peo ple chosen of God to make known liis grace and goodness, and to bring blessing to all mankind.

By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer Practicing your "company voice" that ingratiating and usually friendlier tone reserved for guests and strangers on everybody who listens to yom will soon set you apart as a girl with personality. From radio's soft-spoken Anne ("Our Gal Sunday") Sterrit comes this and other helpful hints on how to put your speech across. Before u'tering a sound, group words into phrases, making each phrase express a complete and forceful idea. This method of planning before you plunge, is a trick which enforces interest in what you have to say. A simple lowering of the voice and a calculated slowing up of speech is another means of cre ating interest and registering sincerity, says the actress. And for making yourself heard and listened to more attentively, your best tone is neither high nor low, but hits a good middle-of-the-road pitch. Expert Gives You Makeup Tips By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer Cake make-up, launched by more and more cosmetic houses and liked by increasing numbers of users, does a much better job of veiling a skin beguilingly. if you'll muster tho subtelties of ap plication.

Her tip is to apply cake make up with an almost dripping, sponge or pad of cotton spread ing it in a thin film over laugh wrinkles and in a thickor coating if circles under eyes proclaim your need for sleep. Blot up excess moisture, wait a few minutes for the film to dry, powder your face, and there you arc all set with tin expert's technique of application. To strip, Mrs. Huhn advices the use of cleansing cream fol lowed bv a gnod scrub with mild soap and water. r-,t tliie Canrv ft C fl IF - ? If Xt AThe Christian Science Monitor bias . . .

ALLEN, Jr. SALEM, Ore., May 26 (UP) On June 16 a total of 1,251 mar lied couples in Oregon will be free to change the decision they made to become subject, to Ore gon's now - voided community property law. The Oregon law, passed in 1943, was one of two. in the United States. Last year the Oklahoma law, from which Oregon's was drawn, was nullified ,by a decir sion of. the U. S. supremo court. Under the Oregon, statute, hus band and wife could, if they wish ed, declare that their, property was owned in. oommoni This placed them in a preferred' posi tion in paying federal income taxes. The 1945 legislature replead that law after the court's deci sion. It also passed a bill permit ting husband and wife to change their choice, and another which will save them from certain pen alties under the gift tax law. The legislature also sent re quests to all "common law" states, and to Oregon's represen tatives in congress for the enact ment of legislation which would remove tho inequalities in. the present federal income tax, us a result of the difference. The difference between "com munity proprty" states and "com mon law" states goes buck a long way. The community property states, in which the principle that property is owned jointly is man datory, draw that principle from tradition and custom. In some southern states such as Texas and Louisiana, the idea comes from French or Spanish law. There are seven such states, including both Washington and California. But in the states where laws came chiefly from English com mon law, there is no such histor ical principle. In Oregun and Oklahoma, the state legislatures attempted to change that- by sta tute. But the supreme cuurt held that the laws were not valid be cause they made a community property status optional, rather than mandatory. Sharp Reduction In Strength Of U.S. Army Looms WASHINGTON, May 26 (UP) Members of congress told the United Press today there was a possibility of another sharp re duction in the size of the army reasonably soon. The revelation ..was . male, fol-' lowing an all-day secret meeting of the .house subcommittee on war department appropriations with chief of staff Gen. George C. Marshall. Committee members said the possibility of a reduction in the size of the army was based on the chance that Russia would en ter the war against Japan. In that event, they said, tho United States would need less men in the Pacific. ' All insisted, however, that Marshall did not discuss with the Marshall did not discuss with the committee the possibility of Rus sia's entry into the war against the Japani'so. Russia is now mili tary at peace with all nations. Comtnittoe-- members also indi catcd that tho remainder of the Pacific war will be a longer, more gruelling struggle than many ex pect and that army costs will not be reduced greatly next year.
