O SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Isaac's Testimony to God
Is Good Policy for All of Us
Scripture: Genesis, Chapters 25-26
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
In pastoral countries, when
water is 'scarce and flocks are
large, wells and watering places
, are of the utmost importance in
the maintenance of life and
prosperity.' The stories of strife
over such places by rival herd
men in the Bible are but a part
of the historic records of such
strife in many lands and at many
times.
Water has assumed in the rec
ords of the past much the place
of importance and rivalry that oil
assumes in the rivalry of nations
today.
Great and worthy honor was
attached to the digger of wells,
and to those who kept them
clean and open. The well at
Sychar, where Jesus met and
conversed with the woman of
Samaria, was known as "Jacob's
Well," though Jacob had been
dead for many generations.
Among Abraham's great
achievements as a civilzcr and
nation builder was his digging
of wells. In spite of his mag
nanimous attitude and his peace
loving nature, however, he had
trouble over the -wells, and when
ne made a compact with Abi-
mciech, he complained to that
king because his servants had
"violently taken away" a well
that Abraham had dug. Abime
loch professed ignorance of the
matter, and the ndju.stmrnl of
their dispute was signalized by
naming the well "Bccrsheba" or
"the well of the nath."
But the trouble was not end
ed. Abraham, it must he rcmem
bfcd, though he loved peace,
and was billing to make much
sacrifice of his Forsonal interest
to secure it, was a vigorous war
rior when forced to fight. When,
in the war of the Kings (Gene
sis. Chapter 14, his kinsman,
Lot, Slid his family, and his pos
sess i!-. had been earrird off in
an iisjauH nsj Sodmi, Abiaham
organized .his' men, pursued and
signally defeated the ageresior,
recovering the captives and the
loot. The victory may have had
its reprisals, and may have ac
counted for those who could not
defeat Abraham in the field tak
ing their reeng? by filling up
the wells that he hid dug. In any
case, these wills hod been filled
up in the troubled tunes, and

among the best things recorded
concerning Isaac is that he dug
again the wells of Abraham that
the Philistines had stopped tip.
This wasn't enough, however,
for new strife arose between
Isaac's herdmen and those of the
herdmen of Gerar, where Isaac
had settled. But Isaac had inher
ited Abraham'3 conciliatory na
ture and his persistency. When
the herdmen fought over one
well, Isaac called it Esek, mean
ing Contention; when they fought
over another, he called it Sitnah,
mcanjng Hatred; but when he
dug anoihcr well, for which
there was no strife, he called it
Rehoboth, meaning Room, "for
now," he said, "the Lord hath
made room for us, and we shall
be fruitful in the land."
There is a parable in all this
for those of us who live today.
God has really made room for
us, all, is we choose to live in
peace and fruitfulness. Appease
ment in our lime has been ac
companied with disregard for
right and justice, and the results
have been disastrous; but this
should not blind us to the gen
eral fact and law that good will
bcgels good will. There is wis
dom still in the magnanimity of
Abraham, and in the nolicv and
j method of Isaac. His persistent
wen-oigging won out over his
well-destroying enemies.
Water Tank Moved
At Meacham To
Save Train Time
Moving of a water tank at
Meacham to make poriible 10
minute watering of freight trains,
instead of the 30 minutes pre
viously requiied, is now being
carried out. C. E. Metsken, water
service foreman of the bridge and
building department of the Union
Pacific railroad, announced to
day. Piping has lietin rearranged to
move the tank one-hall mile ea."t,
in order that trains may be wa
tered at both ends, thereby cut
ting the time !0 minutes. Cost of
moving the 65,000 gallon tank is
estimated at illu.UOO, and should
be completed the last part of this
month.

Troop Returns From
Mill Creek Canyon
The return to La Grande of

A series of activities were con
ducted for the nine girls who
made the trip, including a wiener
roast over a campf ire;, hikes,

Contributing to the joyousness of
the occasion was the old-fashioned

nished music and accompaniment
for the singing..

Social Security
Cards Used For
Cashing Checks
Ocasional complaints, w h ic h
tend to become more numerous
at the harvest season, that social
security account number cards
are improperly used as identifica
tion for check-cashing purposes,
today led Vernon A. Welo, man
ager of the La Grande office of
the' social security board, to is
sue the following cautionary
statement: t
"T h c social security account
number card is not intended to
serve as identification for check
cashing purposes, and should not
be accepted as such.
"A social security card is issued
to any person who applies for it.
It is issued for one. purpose, and
only one. That is to identify a
social security account on which
the wage record of the possessor
may be posted as credit toward
old-age and survivors insurance
benefits. The account number is
used with the person's name to
identify his social security ac
count, because many people have
the same name but no two can
have the same number."

When a Cary Grant picture Is

it has always been something that
moviegoers have cheered about.
Their happy "hurrahs" are once
again in order since Columbia's
"Once Upon a Time," starring
Cary and featuring Janet Blair, is
to play Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday at the Liberty theater,
and all the more so since advance
reports say that this is Cary's
grandest, is different, is some
thing new under the Hollywood
sun.
It certainly! sounds different.
According to word from preview
audiences, the plot revolves
around the discovery and promo
tion of a caterpillar which is sup
posed to dance' to the tune of
"Yes Sir, That's My Baby."

HOW WASTE PAPER FUHDS CAI3
AID WOUNDED VETERANS
...or Worthy Local Projects
All over the country, schools, churches and other
patriotic organizations are collecting waste paper to
make or wrap the 700,000 items constantly being sup
plied to our Armed Forces.
. Often these organizations choose some worth-while
community project to which they donate the money
derived from the sale of waste paper. But many have
already decided to channel a little or all of their wasta
paper funds into a new cause . . . added comforts for
our returning wounded.
