Your Pet Sin
You love it. You slave for it and
maybe you count it as a secret, But
long since, God your Maker, saw
it, and laid It on Christ who was
sent to die for all your sins. Just
as a father loves his own, so God
loves you but He cannot wink at
your sins. Instead He put them on
Christ who took the curse and suf
fered the pains of hell to clear you.
HUMAN GOODNESS? You can
not blot out even one sin. But the
blood of Jesus Christ, Ood's only
born Son, cleanses from all sin.
God cannot lie. Believe Him,
that your sins are settled for and
He gives you eternal life. Believe
and stand on it that you have
lernal life. Now feed the new lift
out of the Bible.
This spare paid for by an Ore

mrssugo estimating that veterans
will cost the nation IS.HVJ.000.000
dining Die next fiscal your.
Mr. Truman told congress the
Servicemen's Readjustment act "is
being vised in some cases to provide
training for avocation or leisure
time activity at high cost to the
government and without commen
surate benefit to veterans."
Under present law. lie said, the
veterans administration cannot pre
vent this. He suggested that the act
be amended so that funds may be
spent only for "constructive edu
cational and vocational programs.''
Mr. Truman did not go into de
tails, but it appeared clear that
whnt he wanted was an amendment
which would eliminate courses In
such things as learning to fly or
dauco for amusement.
The president's estimate of $6.
103.000,000 for activities of the vet
erans administration during the
fiscal year beginning July 1 com
pared with an estimated outlay of
