Mildred Sawyer, Miss Sylvia Sawyer, Mr.; ‘Religion is the opiate of the people.So says Soviet Russia. But religion is not to be slain with slogans, nor can it be obliterated by governmental decrees no matter how relentlessly they may be enforced.The most ancient and elementary desire of the human heart is the desire for God. The passionate longing for God is ineradicable. It cannot be permanent^ suppressed any more than a volcano can be smothered. If it were possible to-raze all churches, temples and synagogues, and to massacre every priest and every minister of religion, religion would spring up again out of the soil and out of the human heart. “I tell you that if these should hold their peace the stones would immediately cry out.” No, the earth will not be rid of religion until it is rid of man. For man is incurably religious.Christian Church.Rev. J. A. Caskey, Pastor10 a. m. Church School.I. M. Gaunt, Sugt._~ p. m.

Remember the day and hour.An eastern insurance company has issued a booklet entitled “The Great American Gamble.” It consists of an analysis of the automobile accident problem, along with graphic illustrations of the price we pay for allowing carelessness, incompetence and recklessness to run riot on our highways.Last year automobiles' killed 29,200 people and injured 840,000. The record of fatalities on a per accident basis was 5.9 per cent greater than in 1932. Excessive speed was the main cause of death, closely followed by driving on wrong side of road, carelessness on part of pedestrians, running off the roadway, passing bn hills, curve?, etc.Some ..of the most vivid illustrations in the booklet deal with the potential destructive power of an automobile. A car going 40 miles an hour, for example, is four times as capable of in fiieting damage as one going twenty. At 60 miles an hour damage becomes nine times as great. A car moving at this last speed has th« same capacity for damage as if it were driven off a building 120 feet high.To use another illustration, a car going 20 miles an hour occupies 3S feet of roadway in addition to Its length. _A car going 60 Occupies '263 Yeet'stopping distance.The horror of the auto accident problem continues to grow. We have safer roads and cars, but we have so exaggerated the safety margins that we have actually made them more dangerous. The American highway is a shambles. Every reckless or incompetent driver and every car which is in a dangerous condition, menaces hundreds of lives.The Railroad RevolutionSince the development of the steam locomotive, there have been gradual advances in speed, (comfort, dependability, efficiency.Mr. and Mrs. C.
