THE PUBLIC the squabble between organized labor and industry too frequently Q. Public (the innocent bystander) is overlooked and has to take ra)). It is a certainty that the next Congress is going to do something to correct strikes, slow-downs and picket lines which interrupt production and accelerate the high (ost of living. The sjiiial of ino'oased wages'and increased cost of merchandise will never cure the pioblem. Neither will the policy of "force." Labor and industiy have got to sit down and work out some fair, equitable basis for the adjustment of wages and cost of goods.

And Congress will have to provide some rules and a yardstick with which to measure the problem. FLOOD Lewis Pick, of the river division, reported last week that additional funds Inui f)een released to his division for flood conti-ol and iri'igation work and said the aj)- piopiiulion included money for such piojects as the Harlan leservoir and the Kanapolis dam.

BATTLE WITH contest of strength between the govei'nment and John L. Lewis, coal czar, continues.

This is the final show-down between govermnent and anarchy, according to some public officials. One official said: "The government cannot afford to appease John Lewis; the govein- ment must write the terms of settlement; if it doed not the government might as well give up."

The Epistlesjpepict Imperfections of Early Christians The International Sunday School Lesson for Dec.

8 Scripture: I Corinthians ii Romans Ephesians The notion that the early Christian church was composed of pure and peifect Christians I is one- that is soon dispelled when one reads in the New Testament the epistles that were written to the churches not only by Paul, but also by Peter, James, and John. When one considers how un- populai- and how subject to pei-- secution was the new faith, it seems strange that any except the most sincere and unsullied should have joined the Christian group. But Paul's admonition against feeding those who would not work seems to indicate that there were in the early Christian community the sort of "conveits" who in our time have been called "rice idlers who sought to he para sites. Paul was determined to check any abuse of the basic Christian pi'inciple of mutual love and mutual aid. Side by side with the tenet that Christians should In a Reminiscent Mood Typical' Nurse '-imnu 'iit About Some Kitnsa.s Artists bear one another's burdens, "and so fulfill the law of Christ," hC' laid down the principle that' "every man shall bear his, own burden." The converts to the Christian church were largely Gentiles, many of them former idolaters, cities full of licentioiisnesp.

No doubt many of those who vere drawn to the Christian way ivere inherently good souls, averse to their licentious and avil surroundings; but others were converts from evil ways of 'iving. When Paul describes the life of those corrupt cities, says, in writing to the Christians, "and such were some of you." But the fact that they had been washed of their sins did not prevent lapses into the evils of a tempting environment; and some apparently did not accept, or realize the true nature of the Christian way. Always there have been those ready to corrupt the purity of Christian faith and piactioe with their philosophies of ease and indulgence. The man who had "put on the Jesus" had a strength that not be easily coriupted. rience Paul's Epistles are constructive, as well as reproving.
