Ancient cities stood for the nations to which they belonged. They dominat ed the affairs of these nations. Jesus recognized this when he upbraided the cities— Chorazin, Bethsaida, Caper naum, and contrasted them with Sod om and Gomorrah, Nineveh, and Tyre and Sidon. Today, the sins of the cities are cursing the nations and menacing civilization. In America, New York, Chicago, Memphis, and Kansas City, are considered the most lawless municipal aggregations of the coun try. Bootlegging, dope-selling, social vice, shameless murder, juvenile delin quencies, open gambling, political cor ruption, rampant greed and graft are at the bottom of this urban corruption. And these sins will bring ruin as did these of Babylon, Nineveh, Chorazing and Capernaum, “once exalted to hea ven and then cast down to hell.” As we celebrate Independence Day it would be well to remember these things and realize that no nation is safe under such conditions. Worthy of consideration is the Biblical declara tion: “For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall_perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.” WOODSON CENTER DOINGS Adult Summer-Classes: Canning sponsored by the Woodson Center Garden Club began last week.

Credit Union Activities: Last Tuesday night the Woodson Center Co-operative Credit Asso. j jiation and Garden Club staged a “Get ogether—get better acquainted” meet, ing at the Center.

In Omaha during the same period, according to the bulletin, >296,837 was spent for relief in 1931, while >427,838 was spent in 1932. This in crease was only 44.1 for Omaha, or 35.3 per cent less than the national average. In May according to the bulletin it was estimated that 62 per cent of the entire urban population or 35 per cent of the entire population of the nation, was dependent or partially dependent for relief.
