Age is given, and the neighborhood to which the message-sender belongs, but it is little personal details that bring the thrill of recognition to those who risk liberty, and even life, to listen.

Place. -- In the upper room where the Last Supper was held, somewhere in the city of Jerusa- lem, Christ's Interpretation "So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what 1 have done to you? Ye call me, Teacher, and Lord: and ye say well, for so 1 am, If I then, the Lord and the * Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one an- other's feet. For 1 have given you an example, that ye also should do as 1 have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, A gervant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him, If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them." What our Lord was reglly laying upon the disciples as gycommand was their willingness to serve others in the humblest and most menial ways, and to be glad to serve in this way whenever they knew it was the Lord's will. What our Lord here desires is not so much some physical act of foot washing as true humility of heart. When wo know what is right, what the Lord demands of us, we will never have true joy until we are doing those very things, Jesus Foretells His Betrayal "I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth my bread lifted up his heet From henceforth 1 tell you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that 1 am he. Verily, verily, 1 say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send re- ceiveth me; and he that recciveth me recciveth him that sent me." The metaphor here is of one rais- ing his foot before kicking, but the blow is not given. This was the attitude of Jesus at, this ~ moment. Our Lord now definitely an- nounces that one of the twelve sitting in the upper room would that night betray their Master. Our.Lord will offer no resistance or defense. Men do unto Him 'whatever they list, as He said they would (Matt. 17:12). He leaves Himself in their hands when the hour is come to do so. They take their responsibility in what they do; He fulfills His in what He suffers, Christ's Words of Comfort "Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me." These are words not only of sympathetic kindness but of a needful counsel. Note par- ticularly how Christ places Him- gelf in immediate relationship with the Father, asserting He is equally -worthy of being believed, "In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will re- ceive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Here is the clearest possible announce-< ment of what is, known in the Church as the second advent of our. Lord, Christ promised to come back--for us because He wants us to be with Him, Here again is the manifestation of in- finite love, . Christ Is The Truth "And whither I go, ye know the way. "Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me." i Christ is the way by which the two worlds are united, so that men may pass from one to the other. Hence, perhaps, the Chris. tian faith is spoken of as the Way. Christ is the truth unchangeable and eternal concerning the funda- mentals of existence, Note care- fully, He does not say He brings the truth, or teaches the truth, but He Js the truth, In Him is the truth concerning God; In Him 1s the truth concerning love; in Mim is the truth of holiness; In Him ia _ the truth of scarifice; in Him Is the truth of life; In Him is the ~ truth of creation; In Him {is the truth of the ultimate sovereignty of righteousness, y Celluloid, the first plastic used in America, was developed in 1868 and trade-marked by the U. 8.

Tricks of the Trade While the camouflage techni- clans aren't revealing many details about newly devised concealment measures, they will nevertheless talk about some of the tricks of their frade. They are using dummy or 'decoy installations, false high- ways, considerable smoke or fog- generating equipment, "disruptive painting." and structures hullt of salvaged lumber, chicken wire, and . cheap textiles, artificial tree plant- Ing and follage hung from nets or wire guys. Flood-lighting often helps eliminate artificial shadows which do not keep step with the sun's progress. 4 fixed shadow is . a dead give-away-to the photo-in- terpreter who may be studying an aerfal photograph of the uecoy in- stallations.

Not only that, the sturdy little gray leafed guayule shrub is no prima donna about living condi- tions and environmemt. It thrives _ luxuriantly and stores rubler like a.cactus stores water during the long dry summers of California, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico, The last tree - rublier which reached New York sold for 22':¢ a pound. For synthetic rubber the price has been ranging from Ghe to $1 per pound since 1931. Some day it is expected that synthetic rubber can be made to sell for as low as 2oc a pound. However, rubber from the guayule plant can eventually be produced in un- limited quantities for 10¢ per pound, even eventually at be per pound, according to one eminent authority. \ $25,000,000 Appropriation On the fifth of last March Con- gress appropriated. $25,000,000 to start guayule rubber into produc- tion--50,000 acres of it in Cal- ifornia alone. Millions of acres in the west are adapted to the mea- gre vequirements of the knee- high shrub. The guayule plant contains =r small amount of rubber both in its branches and roots when only a year old. It doubles this amount the second year, triples in the third, and continues to increase its store of rubber for 10 years, at which time the peak is reached. The rubber it contains is then equal to about 30 per cent of the plant's dry weight, It will sustain this rubbér without deterioration in quantify or quality for the re- mainder of its life. And the guayule plant reaches the ripe old age of two score years. 540,000 Tons in 1946 'The United States tariff com- mission estimates we ean produce - . 540,000 tons of guayule rubber in 1946. In 1048 they figure that 2,000,000 tons can be' produced. This is more than twice dur pres- 'ent requirements for military and other essential needs, . Strangely enough, back in 1910 this country consumed more ga yule rubber than any other kind. We used around 15 tons daily. It was shipped in from Mexico. Cheap tree rubber from the far east gradually supplanted it, Now history reverses itself, Guayule tires will be cheap tires begause of low production costs when the industry finally gets going on the bf scale planned. And we will be free from dependence on Asiatic rubber, Babes In the Wood Two little children, "mites of five and seven," ran away from home and Lid in one of London's parks, They were found a few hours later after their distracted parents had notified the police.
