They continue into the unseen world beyond the grave; the remembrance of these things as we have known them here enables us to think of them there.—Dean Stanley. COLORADO RIVER PLANS FACE CRISIS Decidibly disappointing to advocates of the Boulder Canyon dam project, for restraining Colorado River floods and for making that stream useful, is the attitude of the Federal Power Commission, composed of three members of the President's cabinet—Secretaries Weeks, Works and Wallace. Differences of opinion and judgment are so wide that there seems to be no hope of an immediate reconciling of divergent views. The projected damming of the Colorado, from present indications, viewed in the light of the latest development, probably will be delayed. There may be enough support for the Boulder Dam project, however, to carry it through Congress. The utmost effort should be put forth, at Washington, to bring about agreement upon a feasible damming plan, by which the interests of the people would be protected fully. Something interesting is to be learned from every human being and from every circumstance in life. RACE AROUND THE EARTH BY AIRSHIP It is not a race, officially—but unofficially it is. American army aviators have started on an airship journey around the world. The American flyers are taking the western course. Simultaneously, British aviators are putting off to the eastward. There will be a merry rivalry as to who shall first encircle the globe by air, or who shall come nearest to accomplishing this epochal feat.

American army aviators have started on an airship journey around the world. The American flyers are taking the western course. Simultaneously, British aviators are putting off to the eastward. There will be a merry rivalry as to who shall first encircle the globe by air, or who shall come nearest to accomplishing this epochal feat. Sympathies of Americans naturally are with the American aviators. But the contest for first honors will be watched with keen interest. There will be sportsmanly zest, on both sides of the Atlantic, in watching the progress of the American and British aeronauts. It is a fair race, without favor, and there is no bitterness or meanness in it. Reputations are esteemed lightly in Washington, these days. Let not Washington take any flings at villages for being centers of gossip. The cloudiest, rainiest days are the most cheerful for Californians now. HELLO DIXIE HELLO DIXIE - ELECT - Herbert H.

Fellowship of Prayer Daily Lenten Bible reading and meditation prepared for Commission on Evangelism of Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. WEDNESDAY Singleness of Purpose Read Mt. 6:24-34. Text: 6:24. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. "Business" is in the main honest and honorable. It is the world's work. When Christian men, ready to apply the fundamental teachings of Jesus to all sides of life, go into business they find that the main lines of business are meant to proceed on Christian principles. The flagrantly un-Christian phases of business life appear almost entirely in connection with the desire to become 'rich.'" MEDITATION: Happy is the man whose understanding of the world's work is such that in doing his part his sense of duty and pleasure are both gratified. The selfish man is always facing the alternative of gratifying himself or following the sense of duty. If one's life is actuated by unselfish principles and the welfare of others becomes first in one's desire, then duty is a pleasure. This is the lesson Jesus sought to teach as the way in which human life might be lived in satisfying harmony with the will of God. PERSONAL QUESTION: Do I realize that my satisfaction in honest work is God given? PRAYER: O God, our Father, teach us to be good workmen of thine. Let thy blessings rest upon the common toil of men. Quicken our apprehension that we may understand the eternal significance of our daily life. Inspire right choices and worthy companionship. Amen. (Copyright, 1924—F. L. Fagley) MOVED OFFICE DR.

And mother meant to see that he obeyed. So one day she became suspicious. "Willie, your clothes are wet," she said. "You have been in the water again." "Yes, mother, I went in to save Charlie Jones." "My noble darling! Did you jump in after him?" "No, mother. I jumped in first so as to be there when he fell in." A woman had just learned that her negro charwoman, Aunt Dinah, had at the age of 70 married for the fourth time. "Why, Aunt Dinah," she exclaimed, "you surely haven't married again!" "Yeasum, honey, I has," was Aunt Dinah's smiling reply. "Yeasum, as often as de Lawd takes 'em so will I." A New Yorker who bought some horses for riding purposes was careful to keep them away from traffic in the park where he took his morning constitutional.

On one occasion he defended a very poor man, and offered to do so for nothing. He won the case, and the clients was so grateful that he sent the lawyer 15 shillings. The attorney accepted this small sum, so Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying FARM PRICES GRAVE PROBLEM—Riverside (Cal.) Press The American farmer's plight is described with unusual simplicity and accuracy by the Kansas City Star: "His chief trouble is that he is producing and living on one price level and selling on another. His production and living costs are based on American standards and the selling price for his major products is at world prices. World prices are established by the cheap labor of Asia and Europe and the cheap lands of Canada, South America and Australia." There is much economic philosophy in those few words, profitable for both the farmer and the city man to understand. Properly understood, they would forestall a great deal of the current demand for profitless legislation. Most legislation deals with mere symptoms, not causes. It is likely, as the Star argues, that the time has passed when world prices for major products, especially grain and meat, will make a decent and dependable living for American farmers. And if the foreign market cannot be counted on to put the farmer back on his feet and keep him there, he must go out of business or look to a market that will pay him American prices. That, of course, means the home market. And in taking advantage of its naturally profitable prices, and seeing that they stay at a profitable level, the farmer has to cultivate that market intelligently, study and supply its wants, actual and potential, and avoid over-production. This may mean the shifting of still more people from agriculture to mechanical industries. Thus increasing production of things the farmer has to buy, and keeping down their price at the same time that the price of farm products is kept up.

On one occasion he defended a very poor man, and offered to do so for nothing. He won the case, and the clients was so grateful that he sent the lawyer 15 shillings. The attorney accepted this small sum, so as not to hurt the man's feelings; but later on he was reproached by a fellow lawyer for doing so. "Why," said the latter gentleman, "did you take 15 shillings? Don't you know that it is unprofessional conduct for us lawyers to take less than gold?" "Well," was the answer, "I took all the poor beggar had. You don't consider that is unprofessional, do you?" A woman who had visited every department of one of the big London shops and worried the majority of the salesmen without spending a penny, so exasperated one of them that he ventured to make a mild protest. "Madam," he asked, "are you shopping here? The lady looked surprised, but not by any means annoyed. Certainly, "What else should I be doing?" For a moment the salesman hesitated; then he blurted out, "Well, madam, I thought perhaps you were taking an inventory."
