So, almost auto atically, 've toss- some of our tabilization fund into the pot and eep on dumping it. ‘The process eems bound to go on unless we beate something like an equal balance of trade. If the process hasn't begun, as hose insiders are sure it bas, it ill begin in the very near future An Alcoholic Plot? Everybody here keeps on talking bout Dr. William Wirg and his xpose of the brain trust. At least bne nationally famous brain trust br was worried when he heard pout Wirt's claim tha¢, a truster had told him of a Communigt plot o upset the government, He recalled at least one party pf which, thanks to the refresh pents, his memory of details was pone to clear. He thought very ikely he had amused himself by felivering a Communist speech ometimeg he's like that. “What did I say that night?” he ept asking his friends. . And it ok a lot of reassurance to quiet him.

Having gained the true idea of activity, one can re fuse to accept the belief that any mortal supposition has inter fered, or ever can interfere, with harmonious activity. A business man might be told by several of his salesmen that they found sales very poor, and he ‘might learn that someone in a similar line of business had failed. He might let anxiety and fear en ter his thought. This, of course, \would not be helpful. On the oth er hand, if he refused to accept ‘wrong thoughts about business and held to the fact that real ac tivity comes from divine Mind, and is always perfect, his affairs would improve; and ?. this extent he would hbelp to fmprove con ditions in general. 5 Since sharmonious activity comes from Geod, divine Mind, and the real man, the true selfhood of all, is the image and likeness of di vine Mind, the real man’s business is always good, and spiritual man is ever rejoicing in harmonious. activity. The g?at ‘Way-shower, Christ Jesus, recOgnized that spir itual man ever reflects God, for he said, ““The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” One who accepts the true idea of actirity is able to rise aboye the beliefs of fatigue, mo notony, and worry: for the reali zation of the fact that man. re flects divine Mind gives joyous strength, freedom, and expectancy of good. Since business is in reality the activity which comes from God, divice Principle, fear, dishonesty, greed, selfishness, and lack of ability are no part of real busi ness. ‘This Xknowledge ;:nables one to refuse to accept these falsi ties as having power to operate in his thought and affairs; and he sees instead honesty, efficiency, freedom, love, and joy. The reali gation of the truth t?ngs"one's ‘human business into 6 harmony with God’s law, and destroys what ever is unlike good.—The Chris tian Science Momitor. _ . | : : : 3 ; 4 E OR RENEWED e mull"”“‘i’iif"!‘ u 00 & e ~ f e:u ) | \ | < \‘ /‘:5&» » - d : 2% =V, THE BANNER-HERALD Your Choice of 1 § Magazine In This Group = W= GROUP C . gR s T Rl .
