City Without Newspapers
What happens to business in a city without news
ers?
The Associated Press reports the following concern
ing a newspaper strike in Detroit: “The bureau of busi
ness research at Michigan State University reported that
Detroit stores lost $35 million in sales in December be
cause of the city-wide newspaper strike there. The bureau
said its conclusions were based on state sales tax returns
from Detroit as compared with the previous December
and with sales tax returns from Detroit suburbs.”
In large cities as well as small ones, retail sales
follow where advertising leads. Nothing can replace the
newspaper for advertising.

GIVING MONEY
In banking circles the phrase
“dead money” has a technical
meaning. It is used to describe
the forgotten money on deposit
in national banks. Who would
forget they have money in the
bank? National banks alone hold
50,000,000 dollars in 2,329,678 ac
counts. The owners of this mo
ney are never heard from. Their
action creates “dead money”.
One might say of this that it is
“terribly sad to see people wast
ing their money—and not be able
to help' them at it”.
But most of us know what the
ferry operator meant when
Shrimp Parker wanted to cross.
The fare was five cents. He only
had three cents. The ferry op
erator thought of this for a mo
ment and then announced his
decision: “If a man ain’t got but
three cents, it don’t make no
difference which side o’ the river
he’s on”.
.Few of us will ever own what
is technically called “dead mo
ney’’ by the banks. But what
little we do have may be dead
if we fail to use it properly.
One man asked another when
he was told of a rich man who
died: “What did he leave?" The
reply was: “He left everything."
This is tragically true in many
cases.
But Jesus taught us the possi
bility of laying up treasures in
heaven where we may reclaim
them some day. No, we can’t take
our treasures with us when we
leave this world, but we can send
them on ahead.
But that creates trouble. A
stingy farmer refused to attend
John Wesley’s meeting, but at
last one day was induced to go.
The preacher first stressed,
This man can give you

“Make all you can”. The second
point was, “Save all you can".
This made the farmer wonder,
‘Why have I been neglecting such
good preaching?” But the third
point was, “Give all you can”.
And that last point, the farmer
contended, spoiled the sermon.
Some years ago a man was
complaining to his pastor about
the church asking for money, He
fumed, “This business of Chris
tianity is just one continuous
give, give, give”. The preacher
thought for a moment, and then
replied, “I want to thank you
for one of the best definitions of
Christianity I have ever heard”.
But many times those who
grumble the most give the least.
The late Ernest Fremont Tittle
told of the man who complained
that his wife was always asking
for money: five dollars for a
hat, ten dollars for a dress, forty
dollars for a coat; always dollars
and more dollars”. The sympa
thetic friend asked, “What do
you do about giving her so much
money?” “Oh”, was the reply,
“I never give her money because
she wants too much.”
Money and our use of it was
very important to Jesus. This
is seen in the amount of His
teaching on the subject of money
and stewardship. Matthew con
tains 109 references to the sub
ject; Mark's7; Luke 94; and
John 88. He spoke about five
times as often on earthly pos
sessions as on any other subject,
and the only quotation from Je
sus outside the Gospels deals
with money (“It is more blessed
to give than to receive”, quoted
by Paul.)
Leonard Campbell tells of a
wealthy real-estate man who
consulted with one of his con
tractors who had built many
houses for him about the plans,
color, and details of an attrac
tive residence which he was to
build. Then the owner left for
Europe. The contractor cheapen
ed the house by using inferior
materials and by every possible
means where it would not be
discovered at once.
When the owner returned, he
did as he had planned and gave
the house to the contractor for
him and his family to live in.
The contractor kept saying: “If
I had only known it was for me".
Giving is true having, as the
old gavestone said of the dead
man; “What I spend I had, what
I saved I lost, what I gave I
have”.
