One of our whole world troubles is, that we have left God out of the picture.

At this present moment the paper value of all industry including banks, as well as towns and cities, is far in excess of its physical earning power, and, this state is further agâ€" gravated by the fact that millions of dollars (aetual) worth of machinery is standing idle, and millions of men mmployed_._) This _ condition | simply ers their money back as suggested in my previous article. This monle!y could be invested in industry by specific ownâ€" ership of the machinery of producâ€" tion on an‘actual value basis. Not in the form of stock certificates, another form of inflation. But, say Bill Jones invests, $5,000.00 in a company, ‘he shall be given a lien of some specific property and a legitimate profit paid on the money invested. The trouble with present forms of investment is that they only (represent) in a very vague manner, the security behind them. Stocks, too, are allowed to flucâ€" tuate, the broker gamblers can and do manipulate these stocks in such a way _Now, to make this change, our whole industrial system must be perâ€" mitted‘ to function in such a way as to make that medium ecalled money the servant of indust;y.

Then by sich standâ€" ards, as defined bge Ruskin, in the midst of plenty, t people of the world are poor. That is a direct result of our present monetary system, it is the most assinine department known in world management, so much so that since its inception, the rich have beâ€" come richer and the poor become poorer. that, "There is NO wealth, but life, Life, includir;g all its powers of love, of joy and of admiration.

THE CHAP WHO MAKES â€" A TOUCH Business Mer ah." py it 1 saw the chap, the chap ERE seems to be an ever increasing number of ' business concerns, large and small, which endeavors to improve trade by throwing out bait of one kind and another. Retail traders give coupons for purchases of any amount; Manufacturers of special lines arâ€" range one cent sales; Pepsodent sends an autoâ€" graphed copy of one of the scrips used by Amos and Andy to all who will forward their names and adresses on a wrapper used by the company; Dawes Brewery, which presents a program from "The Black Horse Tavern" three times a week, offers a colored picture to all who will write for it; even the church is adopting the same methods. One congregation in Toronto will send to every person who will forward a dollar to help defray broadcasting expenses a handsome calendar. Pictures of the Dionne quintuplets, of hockey stars, of sereen artists and other notables are available to all who will purchase the right brand of food, cigarettes, cough cures ‘and tooth powder. This method of advertising was not approved untilâ€" later years, but it is noticeable that‘ firms adopting these and other special methods are the most extensive users.of newspapers and other long recognized mediums in making known the mperits of the merchandise they offer the public. We all like to get something for nothing. Hence the offers. But premiums of whatever nature cost money. Would the same amount expended in regular, consistent newspaper advertising produces equal, or better, results is question now being discussed\by many leading concerns, doubt that a proper solution can be found. If each will assume his individual responsibility in the matter of electing candidates for civic, provincial and federal administration there will be proper representation for the people. If the leaders of the day will devate their time and energies to solving the issues and not promotâ€" ing <selfish the interest of manufacturers, organizaâ€" tions, financiers and trades unions, sane action and leadership will be given. What is needed at the present hour is action built upon thoughts and writings and historical facts available. A change in conditions is coming and it will be well ordered and effective if the leaders and the people generally will study the requirements and needs of the day. Do not spoil the success of such a change by immature action. could not wait,â€"the wholg situation has been set Action for drastic changes must be carefully History shows that those changes that mc.: eause untold suffering and devastation, bloodshed has been one of the features, If this civilizgâ€" tion is to continue there must be considerable thought and attention paid to ward off action that will cause strife and bloodshed. .

The chaplain usually gives the class a short talk on some subject or othe®, in connection with his series entitled "What is religion, but instead, he just closed by stating that as we had a very able speaker in the person of the reverend gentleman, he felt it would be best to make wafi for the guest speaker for the day. Rev. J. D. arks. It was a strange, but almost momenâ€" tous coincident, that Mr. Parks‘ whole address dealt with the need of more love of the brotherhood of man, and that unless the Fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood of man became.more in evidence in the lives of all men, irreâ€" spective of race, colour or creed, there could be no hope for peace, such as was so earnestly prayed for by the Lord Jesus Christ. ‘ FOUR SQUARE MENS CLASS HOLD AN OPEN MEETING Rev.

We have deâ€" veloped all we can think of, and are alâ€" most like Alexander the Great, crying for new worlds to conauer, but we have in spite of all that fallen down on the job.

It is beâ€" yond the mind of man to conceive where we are going to land. How can we claim to be Christians, I ask, when after two thousand years we have preached Christ, but practiced the opâ€" posite. How can we hope when we reâ€" fusa to go to the Source of all hope? How can we ask God to prosper us, when we never put into operation His will? We have conquered the world of material, but I)ros!.imted man, God‘s highest masterpiece. The wholeé manâ€" made scheme of progress is an/insult to God and His Son, Jesus Christ, Who is the squrce of all hope, I say! In a word, we have control of nature, can we control ourselves?
