FAR M ACCIDENTS— F ROM a pamphlet recently issued by the De­ partment o f Commerce, comes some very astonishing figures on the number o f people kill­ ed each year from accidents happening on farms. On an average there are 15,000 people who lose their lives from falls; over 6 ,000 are perm­ anently disabled; while something like 900,000 suffer temporary disability due to falls. Leading the list o f causes are falls from ladders, hay­ mows, haystacks, windmills, and roofs. Now that the most of our harvesting is over and the fanner is blessed with a little time on his hands, it may be well to make a tour o f inspec­ tion about the farm, and repairs made where necessary. Here are a few suggestions that may be of some benefit. Keep ladders in a dry place so that they will not rot. Inspect the rungs for dry rot. Construct rails around haymow ladders. When jacking up tractors, keep blocks under the wheels so that if the jack slips you will not be harmed. When working around power driven machinery, do not have on any loose clothing (such as neckties, outside jackets, etc.) that may become entangled in flywheels or cogs, or belt driven machinery. Where stationary machinery is in use have all gears and belts enclosed, so that if anyone falls near them, they will not be drawn into the machinery. ------------------ + ------------------ PE R H APS W E W IL L GET TH E R E A L S T O R Y — HIS is the first time ,as far as we can ascer­ tain that the federal government has really made an effort to find out just how many per­ sons there are in the United States that are un­ employed. - 4 It is up to those to whom the cards are deliv­ ered to fill them out with the greatest o f care It is our contention that the need for this cen­ sus has been long standing. In the past the De­ partment of Labor would issue one statement and the A. F. of L. another, concerning the num­ ber of people unemployed. The result was that you could take your choice o f figures and be­ lieve only that which suited your fancy. With the inauguration o f this current unemployed census, everyone in the country is taking part and it is a safe conjecture that a true figure will be arrived at. «**• Ik; The important thing for all o f us to do now is to fill out the cards and get them into the post office as soon as possible. The postoffice depart­ ment is faced with a herculean task and the least that we can do is to be prompt. ------------------ + ------------------ L E T ’S GET O U T OF TH E W OODS— YS S A is growing, o f that there can be no dispute. But when you want to direct a stranger to a particular house in the city it has to be done by the usual formula— go down to so and so’s and turn north and go so many blocks and then turn at the white house. Let’s get out of the woods, as a city, and get our street signs up and every house numbered. The citizens o f Nyssa cannot expect the council ami mayor to do this unless the demand comes for such a program. Strangers within our city will feel more at home if they can find their way around without asking a dozen or more times for directions to a person’s home or place of busi­ ness. The cost o f such a venture is small compared with the dressing up it will give the city's ap­ pearance. ------------------ + ------------------ T N H AS IT H ELPED— The recent hue and cry that went up from the gamblers in W all Street to lower the ‘margin’ requirements does not seem to have stopped the nose dive that the price of stocks took a few weeks back. It seems hard to fathom the logic o f making it easier for gamblers in stocks, to continue their practice o f buying on margin and at the same time expect them to quit gambling. About all that sucn a requirement does is, to our mind, to make it that much easier for buyers to buy stock, which later can be dumped oc used to manipu­ late the market to suit themselves. L. D. 8.

A man bom lame was Instantly healed by Peter, who offered this g ift of God-sent health to one who had customarily beggad alms o f all who passed his way. T h e Bible relates that the beneficiary "stood, and walked, and entered with them Into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God." Because it occurred In a pub­ lic place, quit naturally his healing attracted attention. Peter availed himself o f this op­ portunity to speak to he people of he power of God which Christ Jesus had made known, and his opening question was calculated to refute the supositton that such a power is personal. "Y e men o f Israel,” he said (Aots 3-12), "why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?” Well did Peter know, as one who had learned o f the Master, that the greatness of Ood Is humanly demonstrable through prayerful reliance on divine power. In all ages and places devout thinkers have perceived that Infinite causation Is at work In man's be­ half. The acme of spiritual percep­ tion, however, was achieved by Christ Jesus, whose loyalty to God, good, as the only cause, enabled hint to refute thoroughly the material­ istic belief that the supposed op- ixwlte o f good Is real. He proved the greatness o f God and exposed the Illusory character of evil. Christian Science teaches this , same vital Christianity, and ap­ peals tenderly to all men to ex­ change finite, material beliefs about causation and power for the ade­ quate understanding o f the great power of God. On page 13 of the Christian Science textbook, “ Science j and Health with K ey to Scriptures." Mary Baker Eddy writes: “ I f we pray to Ood as a corporeal person, this will prevent us from relinquish­ ing the human doubts and fears which attend such a belief, and so we cannot grasp the wonders wrought by Infinite, Incorporeal Love, to whom all things are pos­ sible. Because of human Ignorance o f the divine Principle. Love, the Father o f all Is represented as a cor­ poreal creator; hence men recognise themselves as merely physical, and are ignorant of man as God's Image j or reflection and o f man’s eternal ( Incorporeal existence ” As yet. men glimpse but dimly the wonders wrought by God. but splrit- ual revelation Indicates how vast they are. Divine logic convinces thoughtful men that God's universe Is spiritual, boundless, safe and eternal, and that only to material sense do limitations exist In propor­ tion as thought Is Imbued with the recognition o f divine Love does hu­ man consciousness become aware of available good. The Psalmist recorded an all too common plaint when he declared (Psalms 3:2) "M any there be which say of my soul. There la no help for him In Ood " The fact la however, that there la divine help (or every CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE V em Martin, Pastor Sunday School 10:00 a. m. Morning Worship 11:00 A. M. N. Y. P.

A ll that Is required is a fer­ vent realization of the great power of God, which Is always sustaining the spiritual soundness o f being. Health and security are the inevit­ able rewards o f intelligent faith In divine Love . Before some great task, or even before the demand for faithful dally living, the individual sometimes falters with a discouraging sense of his Inability to perform that which Is required o f him. Christian Science says that man exists to express the divine sufficiency, and that God is always the enabling power. When fears clamor, when time presses, when love seems out o f the question, then Is the time to turn gratefully to the greatness of God. A student o f Christian Science once had urgent need to turn to God in this way when he found that he had postponed too long a request for some money he very much need­ ed. This sum was thousand of miles away and under the circumstances It appeared Impossible to obtain. But he dwelt earnestly on the fact that G od’s greatness and presence m ightily outweighed all belief in the absence of good, and with remark­ able promptitude his need was met. This good result of earnest prayer proved to the student that lim ita­ tions arc only false mental concepts which must disappear whenever God’s infinitude Is understood. P ri­ marily. the temptation which had been offered to his consciousness was the baseless lie that being Is m at­ erial, hence finite. But the Christ. Truth, voiced to him the allness of Ood, and Its availability to meet hu­ man needs. Elizabeth Barrett Brown glimpsed something of this truth, which she expressed in her beautiful lines: "G od ’s greatness flows arcund our Incompleteness, Round our restlessness. His rest." F IG H T RAGES OVER STE LLA SAN FRANCISCO , Nov. 18—Per persistency—and multiplicity—there Is no one. it appears, quite like Stel­ la. The robust nude that was Stella made her debut locally during the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. She was a great success, financially If not artistically, for some million perse ns each handed over a dime to see the painting o f the well-uphol­ stered and scantily-draped siren. A t the conclusion o f the Exposi­ tion the whole country broke out into a veritable rash o f Stellas. Reclining on divans, which were necessarily sturdy, these Stellas gazed brazenly from carnivals, bar­ rooms and vacant store buildings The owner o f each of these Stellas cried to the heavens that theirs was the only and original Stella, so un­ der the clrcumstnces it Is not sur­ prising that the whereabouts o f the Panama-Pacific Stella la veiled In mystery and contradiction. Perhaps It Is Just as well, for a new Stella has emerged to challenge the Stellas of aU time While all the tumult and shouting was at Its height, the real Stella, according to A. E. Harvey, o f San Jose, was reclining, unheralded and unsung. In a vault. T h e time has come, says Harvey, for the only gnd original Stella to make all o f three other only and original Stellas hie themselves to the hinterlands and garb themselves In Mother Hub­ bards -- ---------------------------- - P L U G G IN G A L E A K IN TH E L A W Disbarment o f the lawyer who served Dutch Schultz, notorious gangster, over a long period Is an­ other big step In New Y ork ’s drive against crime. Not because Richard Davis stands discredited before the New York State bar; his refusal to answer to charges contained In a grand Jury indictment Is the equiv- alentof self-disbarment. But because of the legal precedent Involved. “ Dixie” Davis’, alleged business relations with underworld char­ acters have been a moot subject among lawyers since Special Prose­ cutor, now District Attorney-elect, Thomas E. Dewey launched his campaign against racketeering. Davis’ frequent appearances before the courts to defend persons charg­ ed with participating In Schultz’ il­ licit gambling business raised the point whether a lawyer repeatedly retained by a criminal was not In e f­ fect a partner-in-crime. Hitherto in such cases a lawyer has been Immune from prosecution so long as there was no proof that he had received a general retainer fee for such services. In Its decision disbarring Davis, the Appellate Court dispenses with legalistic hair splitting: W hile there is no proof of such general retainer, everything points to such a retainer or to a working agreement whereby the same end was attained. The strictness o f the court’s Inter­ pretation of what constitutes a part­ nership beween criminals and lawy­ ers doubtless will be welcomed by the New York bar for the warning It imparts to the legal profession. Citizens as a whole will welcome it as a means of helping to hold the ground already gained In the city’s w fl. r against crime.—Ghristian j Science Monitor.
