He was a man of sorrow. His wife, Comer, deserted him and their children. At length he found her put up for sale In the slave market, paid the purchase price and redeemed her. , His bitter experience only soft­ ened Hosea and made him. tender and loving. He learned a great les­ son for sinning Israel. Though the people had departed from God, he still loved them. As Hosea had re­ deemed Gomer, God would receive the Israelites back. God had a “ controversy with the Inhabitants of the land.” the proph­ et declared, because of their many transgressions. They would be pun­ ished for their evil ways. In their degraded condition they had no help from their priests, for they were evil like themselves. "Like people, like priest.” Though they were wounded, God would heal them. Under the image of sowing in the fields, Hosea bade the people break the ground in righteousness and reap according to kindness. The prophet's message is timely for us. All the evils that Hosea found In his day are found In our own—pro­ fanity, immorality, all iniquities and abominations. “ Lack of knowl­ edge” is the trouble with many. Unworthy pastors ofttimes set the pace by compromising with worldly things to make their services ap­ pealing and themselves popular. Let us, in our Christian, living and our Christian service, depend upon God. GLARENCE J. BROWN Writes. With a Buckeye In Congress Speaking before the American Newspaper association s annu&l lanquet in New York last Thurs­ day night, Herbert Hoover, our only living ex-president, proposed the time had come when iccogr.?:- tion should be given the failure o f the United Nations-td become a worthwhile force for world, peace, and to the need fo r estab­ lishing some new world organiza­ tion in which the nations and peo­ p le s believing in God and human freedom could join fdr self-pro­ tection against those who believe in neither. Last Friday marked the 5th anniversary of the open­ ing o f the San Francisco confer­ ence at which the United Natans was formed. At that time we pointed out in this column and the veto power within the secur­ ity council would endanger the success o f the new woilu organi­ zation and could easily destroy its effectiveness. It will be re­ membered that Alger Hiss was designated by our state depart­ ment to organize the San Fran­ cisco conference, and that he pre­ sided over its early sessions, guided many o f its activities, and had much to say as to the final form o f the United Nations a- greement.

This has been done so warm­ ly in a recent educational film, ViHitirian Beginnings,” that I shall first tell' you-.about the movie. It -is an Eddie Albert production made under the supervision of Dr. Lester F. Beck, department of psychology, -University of Oregon. (And the kin­ dergarten children who take part in the discussion of where babies come from are enrolled in the Walt Whitman school, New York City.) The film Is based upon an ex­ tended study of tjjie beliefs and feelings of six-year-old children about the coming of a new baby Into the family. And Us purpose is not so much to increase chil­ dren's knowledge, for all the youngsters in the film knew that babies-grow-in the moth­ er’s body, but to help them ad­ just to a baby brother or sister and look upon the birth as a time of great happiness in the family. The film succeeds wonderfully in this. One boy tells the story of the birth of his little sister. In fiash- -backs we see and hear the parents as they plan with Tommy for the big event. There is nothing start­ lingly new about their handling of the situation. It is the joy of expec­ tation, the happy welcoming spirit in which the baby is awaited that helps make Tommy fee1 a new baby is the nicest thing that can happen in a little boy’s life. Certainly ns event in the life of a child is more momentous than the arrival of a new baby. Dr. Beck, in his written com­ ments on the film "says, “ It can be an emotionally rewarding experience that brings new ac­ tivities and joy, to the child, or it can be a bewildering, trau­ matic experience that we^cens and disturbs the whole person­ ality structure of the child” When parents were first advised about a quarter of a century bgo, tc tell little children the truth abor babies and*to inform the oldeV chib that a baby was expected in th family, „ it was thought that thi preparation would eliminate jea ousy. But like1-' many petfectl> sound theories, this one didn’ t tal;n into consideration the many em<!o tions involved, the parent’ s feeling'- about the new baby were someUmm, mixed with apprehension over f pense, or the mother’ s fear of )v"> confinement, and without rcalizir it this guarded welcome of the n« baby was transmitted to the olde child. Or the child’ s possessive feel tags toward his parents weren’t taken sufficiently into account ar the months of waiting were fill v- with dread of the interloper w >s might prove to be a threat to t j« child’s very existence. But we have learned in the. n intervening years that the mere giving of information often de-", feats its purpose. Left to build their own emotional reactions, * children can evolve almost as confused a concept from facts as youngsters did who had onl, t. the stork or the doctor's blaci A bag to go on. Where the fill Is particularly valuable is bringing into the open the enf . tions,'pleased or troubled, ofJ' “ J group of youngsters, and th through Tommy’ s story guidfT them all into a happy, even eGo« vious attitude, toward thSi playmate’s good fortune. ^ ' • As for the thousands of childr. > who will view the film, each one will see some part of his own inner' life on the screen. He can sort out his own feelings. 0, sia, back in the fall I»f 1S33, which opened up the whole communis­ tic pandora’s box. Xenia had two fires caused from sparks from flues last week.

THE GREEN IS BACK The beloved Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb Riley, phrased it: “ When the green, gits back in the trees!” Around the theme he wound a memorable poem. That’s what’s happening in our corner o f the world right now— “ the green i3 getting back in the trees.” Blossoms—white ones and red ones—greet you from lawns and orchards. Mighty nice to be alive! EGGS TO BRITAIN In a generous moment Uncle Sam reached into a convenient cellar and pulled out forty mil­ lion dollars worth of dried eggs and sold them to England for seven million. We sent bundles to Britain because we like to help out when folks are in trouble. Selling our cousins dried eggs at one-sixth their cost hardly falls into cousinly love. Are dried eggs -a bargain at any price?

A S LBERT LESSARD, Quebec, Canada, saysAhat when he got his * * first job after coming home from government war service in 1937 he worked conscientiously, tried to give value for what he received. He got along all right, ap­ parently; b u t he didn’t receive an advance in salary nor a promotion, "Well, he couldn’t com­ plain. A lot of fellows he knew were not doing nearly as well as he was. And he was glad to hold down his job though he worried about it occasion­ ally. Worried for fear he might lose it. When he had been with his company two years, and felt he had learned a good deal about the business, t h e manager of t h e branch in which he was employed suddenly Carnegie resigned bis position. Maybe Albert would get that job! He felt himself better equipped than any­ one else in the department. He had been married a little more than a year, and they were expecting a baby in the family. He could me any extra money a promotion would bring. Then he heard one day something that didn’t set so well: a man was sent from their head office, in another town, to fill the managerial*position.< Maybe his morale didn’t take a slide! He had worked hard, why .couldn’t this job have come to him? He made up his mind to find out. He went to his superior, who. certainly must have had a voice in filling the manager’s place, and asked what his future was with the company; asked what chance there was for him to do any better than he now was doing? , Instead of getting an encouraging line of talk, which was the least be expected, all this superior said was, “Lessard, you should know your own limitations.” That brought no comfort. What were his limitations? He moaned over it for a couple of weeks, lost his appetite, lost a lot of sleep- Finally, he decided to analyze himself, decided to see just what kind of oil he was burning within. Then he got down to work at his job harder than ever, watched for chances to help the business, tc help his superior make a good showing. It wasn’t long before lie was running circles around his new boss„ the newly promoted manager, who had the job he wanted. But he was careful to help him, too, and not to antagonize Mm. Today Albert Lessard Is the branch manager and his earn­ ings are comparatively, higher than they were when he took stoqk o f himself. the social security law, and to protect them from possible con­ trol by the federal government.

Today we have a deficit o f $6 billion. Deficit spend­ ing, in my opinion, is bound to bring this country to inflation and national bankruptcy. I believe it is essential to" take $3 billion off the current budget and $3 billion more next year. If Congress re­ fuses to economize in gifts to for­ eign nations, it will certainly bq difficult to secure any economy in domestic spending. •Mr. Hoffman is proposing to take $600 million from the allotments, of .the various nations-to set. up a “European Payments Fund” to en­ courage cooperation and settle balances. Obviously he himself ddes not think that direct gifts in the sums proposed abe absolutely essential. If the put is made, even if he has to eliminate the European Payments Fund, It is hard to see how that could substantially in­ jure the basic purpose of the pro­ gram. As part of the ECA bill, we are asked to appropriate for a new project rendering technical assist­ ance to underdeveloped nation: throughout the world, part o f “Point Four.” This is another $41 million addition, to the deficit., Senator Vandenberg has urged that, before we enter into, any , new long-term program of .for­ eign aid, an impartial commis­ sion be appointed to study the Whole problem) I fully agree With him, Let’s pot get into any world-wide distribution g f Amer­ ican taxpayers’ money, at least until we have finished the Mar­ shall Flan!
