quotes an early policy statement
by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
T. Benson : "The supreme test of
any government policy, agricultural
or other, should he, `How will it
affect the character, morals, and
well-being of our people?' . , . It 14
doubtful if any man can be politic-
ally free who depends upon the
State for sustenance,",

But immediately the ' author
warns : "Christian ethics, however,
does not necessarily point to a single
economic philosophy" — a fact
which the succeeding pages make
plain. The book early, acknowledges
that "government farm ifrice sta-
bilization activities probably have
become a permanent part of our
economic system" in the United
States.

About 5 million live in USA and
about half that number in New
York City, About a million live
in Palestine, Only a very small
minority accept the New Testa-
mtoeItntltile Hsterbikreinwgs begins by em-
that this letter
phasizing that Jesus is the Son
Of God. This is fundamental 141
all that follows in the letter. The
events recorded in the. Old Tes-
tament are preliminary and pre-
paratory to the revelation of
God's Son as revealed in the
New Testament.
Strangely enough there are
some who belong to the Chris-
tian Church who question the
deity of Jesus, Almost all agree
that he was a good man. But
how could he be good and affirm
that he was the Son of God if he
were not, The attack on his deity
is often subtle. The manner of
his birth is questioned, A pi-e-
minent minister in a book re-
cently says concerning the vir-gin Birth, "How can a doctrine.
be essential to a religion if the
Founder of that religion said ,
nothing about it?" How do we
know that Jesus said nothing
about the manner of his birth?
We can only say that there is
no record of his saying anything
about it. But Matthew and Luke
record the Virgin Birth. That is
sufficient reason for any Bible-
believing Christian. It is diffi-
cult to see,. how any one can be - a Christian and yet reject a por-
tion of the Bible which reveals
Christ to us.
Jesus is the Son of God. John
asks, "Who is a liar but he --that
denieth that Jesus is the Christ?"
1 John 2:22. That is a strong
statement, but since it is in the
Bible it is not too strong.
Q. How can I make a good
household glue?
A. A good household glue that
will stick paper or cloth to
metal„ wood Or glass, and leave
no stain, can be made as fol-
lows; Dissolve 1 tablespoonftil

ware?

ing a different number of blasts,
long or short, for each child.

One ingredient of our "laissez-

Leopold admittedly took many
months before .he could allow his
heart to resolve the situation.
Then, one September clay in 1011.
the Archbishop of Malines was
summoned to 'the 'castle.
The royal chapel was quietly

She was determined that her

Through the cobbled streets of,
Ostend an old shrimp-seller plied a
roaring trade, little aware as he
scooped up the shrimps for his
customers that' his grand-daughter
would one clay marry a reigning

danced a .ravee,haired little girl,
listening gaily to the tinkling -
music of the street organs, making
friends with the policemen on the
corner —.and delighted on her birth-
day when-a gift unfailingly arrived
from her affectionate gratdfather
in Ostelid.
