Panl Galloway (36-year-old pastor of the Methodist church, at Forrest City, Arkansas, and a graduate of Yale freedom has been the most devastating force of the church work. Instead of bringing us together, it has separated us frto numerous sects and denominations it is fame for the state to say: 'All will come into one-group. We will do away with all Protestant denominations and make vou all to come into one, or else you cannot In other words, church and state -will not be separated. Separation has caused a lot Today's Talk By Qeorge Matthew Adams THE ENJOYMENT OF SMALL THINGS IS said-that Eugene Field was late to his wedding because he stopped along the way to play marbles with a group of boys! He couldn't resist one of the small pleasures for which he was noted all his Me, and which so endeared him to both childhood and all of us. The fast-moving age in which we have lived for so long has tended to rob us of many of the small things that once brought so much happiness to many All about us are common things--full of beauty, full of mystery, full of wonder--and today was moving into the executive mansion here, where he vacated four years ago tomorrow when Governor Fisher succeeded him as chief executive.

They seem to say from their eyes that they have lost one of the gieat gifts of God and Nature--the ability to enjoy small things. People go to Florida, California, the islands of the sea, and formerly to every country in the world, only to return home and find pleasures and enjoyment in the common things that they have overlooked for years AH around us they group themselves, as though inanimate. But we keep looking for something unusual, something to thrill us anew.

Wheeler made his statement after Churchill in an unheralded address in Glasgow, Scotland, had said that Britain would "not require in 1941 large armies from overseas" but would require more American ships; airplanes and weapons than she would be able to pay lor. in England "Harry Hopkins, President Roosevelt's personal representative in Bntam, was present on the platform as Churchill spoke Wheeler declared he had information that Hopkins' mission England was to determine "what immediate steps can be taken short of a war declaration."
