They tided along the best they could, Fourteen children were bom "to them. Sieves became adults. Now they are all married. Some are buy­ ing homes on -the installment plan; Other* are tenting!, 1 . Mr. McCurdy never went beyond the third grade in school. H is wife stopped after the sixth grade. He was twenty- two when they ware married; she was nineteen. He is art unskilled laborer, During all the years he had work most of the time. The family never was on#charity. Mis,-McCurdy is an excellent manager. Her health remains good.' She denied herself many social opportunities. Now that she and her husband had arrived at their sixtieth year, the children insisted they have a home o f their'own. “ The children are' all’ good to us, except one” , confided Mrs. McCurdy. “ Ethel thinks we give careful atten­ tion to all the others, and none to her. She just has a funny "notion about that." We love them all. That’s her picture on that wall” . ey went oh to tell how the child- n .1 bought' their acre Idt. I t is just one mile from thejrity limits. Mr. Mc­ Curdy and the boys used second-hand lumber fo r much o f the building. Most o f the work was done at odd hoars. It Was after Thanksgiving when they finally goth the outside basement door rtiade and. installed. “ The big front window you are look­ ing at used"to be in a comer grocery. After we fitted it in, I tbok off the wrirds7 :‘Grdceries»and "Meats’ "wifliTa razor blade” , he said, “We -pulled hundreds of nails out o f the lumber - we bought fo r siding.

They could not have chosen a better spot than that beautiful acre on a by-road just off the highway east o f town. “ You know” concluded Mrs, Mc­ Curdy, “ the Good Book says:—'All things Work together fo r good to them (hat- love God.’ That’s why we live here in our own home now.” I knew theft that T was among good people, mm UMIfORM nnSKNAinONAt C U N O A V 1 S c h o o l L c » * o f » %SSPK&a (Hsi«*s«d byWMt?ra yirjj*b«r Vatopul C O U R T NEW S (Continued front first page ) .

I am *Uv* for. evermore,—Revelation 1:18. , m $W ® r4 F a r m P r o d u c t s Washingrfcon Letter Certainty and assurance — these are. at the heart of oyr observance of Easter. We declare with Paul, “ Now is Christ risen from the dead” (I Cor. 15:20); and that He is “ de­ clared to be the Son o f God with, power . . . . by .the resurrection from the dead” (Rom . 1:4). We would join the apostles who “ with great power gave . , . witness of the res­ urrection of the Lord Jesus” (Acts 4:33). . Someone may say, “ That’s well enough for you who have faith in God, hut I’m bewildered, uncertain, fearful, in a disordered world. What shall I do?” Come with us as, in our lesson, we join two men who had become-.bewildered, who felt that all their hopes had been crushed, that the future was only to be feared. . . We join them as they walk wearily along the road from Jerusalem 'to Emmaus. Suddenly there is Another with the little group. Let us listen to their conversation. First we find I. Holden Eyes and Slaw Hearts (vv. .13-17, 25, 26), . The two sad men" who had le ft Jerusalem to go to Emrnaus/were disciples of our Lord whcl had just been through the crushing experi­ ence o f seeing Him crucified. Now. as'the jeering mob held triumphant sway in the city, they left the dead Christ (as they supposed) - in the tomb and went their Wfty, True, there had been some reports on, the morning of the third day that the women had seen Jesus alive (w . 23, 24), but their hope and faith Was at such low ebb that they could not —or did not—believe. Even when Jesus appeared to walk with them -and—question—them,—ihey—did—noi. know Him. Eyes dosed by unbelief; faith hin­ dered'by doubt and fear; a despond­ ent heart slow to believe God—how very effectively these shut out the blessing o f God and of His Word, evert to the believer. Even deeper; is the darkness in which the un­ believer finds hihiself. But all is not lost; there is One here who can open: unseeing eyes and warm cold hearts —even Jesus. , II. Burning Hearts and Opened Eyes (w . 26-32). Although they did not realize it (how slow we are to appreciate our blessings!) until after He was gone (v. 32), their healts began to bum within them as soon as He began to expound the Scriptures to ,them. What a Bible exposition that-'was, as Christ Himself opened all that the Scriptures taught-concerning Him! Bible teachers have talked' about, and it makes one’s heart burn justto read their Suggestions (see for ex­ ample Morgan on Luke, page 278), Little wonder that these men were “ strangely warmed” as they lis­ tened. • The way to have a burning heart is to read God’s Word or to have it expounded by a Spirit-filled teacher or preacher. Especially is there blessing in reading and studying what the sacred Book teaches about our blessed Lord. With the heart “ strangely warmed,” as John Wesley described his Aldersgate experience, comes the. opened eye; “ They knew him” (v. 31) in the breaking of the bread. Perhaps they saw the scar in His hand, or possibly they identified a familiar gesture or something in His voice; but until their hearts were warmed they did not see. Paul knew that truth when he declared: “ But the natural man receiveth not Uie things o f the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: 'neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (I Cor. 2:14). Some reader who has trouble be­ lieving in the resurrection will find the problem solved when he meets Christ and has his heart changed hr regeneration. What follows? III. Quickened Feet and Glad Tes­ timony (vv. 33-35). The seven miles (sixty furlongs, v. 13) which had passed so slowly were now quickly retraced. They had glorious good news to bring to the disciples at Jerusalem, How swift are the feet df the one who has good tidings, to bear *■(see Rom. 10:15), One wonders why so many professed Christians- are so slow about carrying His message. Can it be that they do not yet know the risen Christ? For if we know Him, surely “ we do not well” to keep silent in a day of goqd tidings (11 Kings,.?: 9). Note in verso, 34 that before they could speak, tne others gave them the good news of the resurrection. It is proper and, delightful that be­ lievers share spiritual blessings (Rom . 1:11, 12). Thai’s why we come together in God’s house. Brother In the Lord, Christian sis­ ter, how long is it since you had a new and stirring experience of the presence of Christ? Not necessarily spectacular or exciting, but a real spiritual experience. Let’s ask Him for it!

(OoKTorBiafiFaoH Warn P a ss ) It will h* remembered that in the Fall o f 1999 the only thing wanted from America was a change in the Neutrality Law to permit the purchase o f planes, munitions and armament in the United States, fo r cash on the barrelhead, w ith»shipments and de­ liveries to be made only in the ves­ sels o f the purchasing nations. In 1940 the request was for destroyers. In early 1941 it was the’ Loase-Lend Bill, with the United States acting as an arsenal aitd financing agent. Now' it is American, warships f o r convoy work that we are being asked to sup­ ply. What will tomorrow’s need be ? The country generally is. fast com­ ing to the realization that the strikes and labor disturbances that have been spreading over the nation are a ser­ ious threat to the National Defense Program. As a result many communi­ cations are being received by members o f Congress demanding legislative ac­ tion to meet the situation. Seeming­ ly many citizens are overlooking the important ,fact that the President o f the United States has now, and has had fo r some ,time, full and complete power and authority to put a stop 'to the labor troubles in national 'defense industries, and in all o f the basic in­ dustries o f the nation that are so im­ portant to a prompt completion o f dew' fense plans.. For many .weeks Con­ gress has been ready' and willing to act, but Administration leaders have appeared before Congressional com­ mittees .insisting that no legislative action was necessary or desirable. A number o f those close to the Presi- dent, including Mrs. Roosevelt herself, have openly critized members bf Con­ gress for demanding that Something be done about the strike situation. President Roosevelt, just a few days ago, suggested that no action'be taken by Congress until his Defense Media­ tion Board was given a through trial. At the same time many members o f Congress insist that the Mediation Board has no real power,, and that it cannot accomplish real results while containing as a part o f its member­ ship the very men responsible for some of-the labor disturbance, i LEGAL NOTICE Senior Scholarship Tests.
