Scripture meditation: Ephesinns Psalm 27: 1 Corinthians This past week has been set aside us the "Universal Week of Prayer 1 Christians in all kinds observe this period at the beginning of each year. It comes as a challenge to us as we think of this fellowship of prayer uniting us throughoul the whole, wide earth. -Among the suggestions for observing (he week the subject, "Strength for the Day" and the above scripture passages are planned for (he latter part.

Every one of us has probably often felt that he needs more strength. Nor is it that we need that power for sonic future time. We need it now, today. How can find that strength? At firsl glance it might appear that Paul was bragging when wrote to his friends at Philippi saying, "I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me," But Paul certainly must have known whereof he spoke. Pie had been persecuted, stoned, chained in prison, shipwrecked and altogether suffered untold hardships.

Now he was in prison facing trial and possible death. His are no boastful words of some over-zealous Hercules but the quiet witness of a man who had tapped deep reservoirs of power from God. That strength can be yours and mine if we are willing to fulfill the same condition, put our trust "in him that strengtheneth me," This power is latent within each one of us. You recall when Jesus talked of the Kingdom of God as being like a treasure hid in a field or a pearl of great price, for which a man all that fre had to purchase il. Jesus added a profound statement: "The Kingdom of God is within you." Those who open their minds and hearts to the Eternal Presence will find unlimited powers as did Paul who spoke from real experience when he said he could do "all things in him that strengtheneth me." Most of us are not quite willing to fulfill that condition of trusting in God for our strength.

We have ideas about how we would go about it And the world is full of people who are looking all over for that strength 1 can only be found by reaching within. We are like Ali Plafed. the Persian, that Russell Conwcll about. It seems that Ali had a farm near the Indus River. One day a Buddhist priest told him of the beauty and value of diamonds.

Discontented with his farm he sold it and roamed the world in quest of diamonds. Finally, in despair, he took his own life. But back on Ali Hafed's farm, the new owner saw a flash of light in the brook as he watered his camel. Reaching clown he picked up a black stone wilh a flashing eye of light, a diamond in the rough! Prom that farm were mined some of the greatest diamonds the world has ever seen, the mines of Golconda! "Couldn't thou in vision see perfect man God meant, Thou never more wouldsl be the man thou art, content." Within you are the powers which can make you the man God has planned. It remains for each of us to reach down and take those resources from God.

This involves regular communioi with God. The habit of daily praye is the only way that we can mine the rich resources of God. But some will say, I do not have time My life is rush, rush rush. Actually, as George Stewart in "TJie Lower Levels of Prayer" has observed "Prayer saves time." And it 'does. Our powers are quickened and calmness and strength flow into our act because we have taken time for prayer.

Pie makes no false claim when he adds, "To take time for prayer is to save time for work." It is true thai flashes of insight may come when we are not always steadfast in prayer, like the flash of the diamond came to Ali Hafed's succes- But the steady toil of daily labor opened up the mine of Golconda and thehabil of daily prayer alone will bring- forth the riches of the mines of God. Strength for the day depends upon reaching within for those resources which can be released through daily prayer. If you are worried or troubled, tense or fear-ridden; if you do not have the strength to meol life adequately; let new vitality and harmony and health flow into your life through communion with God, Take this thought of Paul's you and think of il through the day, "I can do all things in him that strengtheneth inc." As you let God work through you you arc releasing untold possibilities of growth and development. As Jesus said, "All things are possible to him that believelh."

Those retreating- Nazis in Po- mrtieles each containing a germ i he center which floats around 'or hours and infects other people. cold produces little immunity; aul and Freese say the immunity colds twenty-three days 10 even weeks. Weather and Colds There is certainly something in tho relationship of cold weather and rain, snow and wet to catching cold.

There arc three seasons when colds are at their January and February, (2) April May and June, and (3) September ami October. TJic intervals, by the way, arc al3out the length of Paul and Frcese's seven week period of immunity. The relationship between cold and wet is not very clear. Experiments in Norway showed that a sudden drop in temperature was not. necessarily the signal for an outbreak of colds, but if the arrival of the first boat of the shipping season corresponded to the cold spell, colds were prevalent.

In other words, the man on the boat brought some nice fresh germs in and they caused the the drop in temperature. It. was also noted that trappers who fell through the ice didn't catch cold, but if the men had been to town through the summer and fall, they did catch cold. The lesson seems to through the ice after you have BY H12LJSN Central Press Columnist Is That "Win the Conflicting End-of-the. War" Slogan Really War Statements Fourth Term Phrase?

One group of perhaps the dominant that the Chief Executive has publicly coined the phrase under which he will campaign for a fourth term. Phis belief has been strengthened by Mr. Roosevelt's refusal to answer a direct question on whether the phrase constituted a fourth term declaration. This faction always has held that if the President planned to retire, it would have been a simple mattei to answer the query in the negative.

Another school of thought insists that the President's new slogan signifies nothing more than his desire to remove politics from his realm and get on with the war. This group insists that the Chief Executive is tired of his job and wishes to retire. Further, it is contended, the President has hinted as to his political colleagues. Holders of this view declare that Mr. Roosevelt cannot disavow fourth term aspirations now without disrupting further a Democratic party already torn by factional differences In any event, all sides agree that the slogan-changing spells increased political activity and has heightened speculation on the President's future course.

A series of unrelated Washington, Pearl Harbor and again has served to highlight the unavailing efforts of the Office of War Information to "handle" war news for domestic consumption. In Washington, a high-ranking government official told newsmen of continuing "complacency" on the home of public vjnawarcness of the war, of a public scrambling for monetary profit and escape from wartime taxation, of an erroneous belief that the war is "in the bag." And this official, who for some unaccountable reason refused to let his name be used in the story, topped off his blast by forecasting huge United States casualties in the next 90 days and broadly hinted that the European invasion would get under way in that period. As this story was moving on news association wires another from Pearl Gen. George C. Marshall, Army chief of staff, as stating flatly that "Japan is a matter of time.
