You can't trust these politicians any more. Every
time they give us a free hand-out they spoil it by raising
taxes.
Andrew Carnegie once declared that “it is a disgrace
for a man to die rich,” and congress seems to be endorsing
the sentiment.
People who love their enemies always manage some
way to keep them from finding it out.
A “land of opportunity” is one where people live up to a
quail-on-toast income inspite of a hot-dog appetite.
Juding by the way they’re jumping around some of
these taxes must have grasshopper blood in them.
The smallest man in the world is the one who thinks
he’s bigger than the law. I
WAKE UP, AMERICA
Any citizen looking for trouble, and unable to find it
in this country, might try going to Russia and making a
public talk denouncing that government. Or, if he wants 1
to face a firing squad let him try publishing a newspaper
over there devoted to inciting a revolution. Not only in
Russia, but in any other foreign nation such tactics bring
swift, sudden and often violent punishment.
That being the case, is it any wonder why loyal, law
abiding American citizens can’t understand why this gov
ernment should tolerate the flood of communist propagan
da now finding its way into every section of the country?
Not only are soap-box orators permitted to publicly and
viciously denounce the United States, but Communist news
papers and periodicals are also granted the same privilege
—and they are actually carried to readers by the United

try. It is coming to a show-down sometime, and the soon
er the better. The only way to end it will be to make a
nation-wide cleanup of every man or woman whose name
is on the roll of a Communist organization and who cannot
produce citizenship papers. If he is an American Com
munist preaching civil war, then there are laws to put him
away. If he is a foreigner doing it—and living on “relief”
—then the quicker he is put aboard a boat and driven out
the sooner will decent, law-abiding American citizens be
secure.
UNPAID TAXES J
The tact . that tax delinquencies in 24 states have
mounted to a sum in excess of a billion dollars, as report- j
ed by a recent survey, should furnish the average citizen j
with convincing evidence that the tax load is fast becom
ing heavier than can be borne, especially in time of stress.
Some day our state legislators will realize that the
tax load, especially that borne by the average property-'
owner, will have to be lightened or it will fall of its own
weight. People can only pay taxes up to a certain point. !
When taxation is boosted beyond that point they will quit
paying altogether, as thousands are now doing all over
the country. The billion dollars deficit now indicated will
probably never be cleared up. The result is going to be
loss of properties, and this is certain to be followed by dis
satisfaction among federal and state agencies that bodes
no good for the country.
The tax load cannot keep on increasing forever. In
fact, it is dangerous to permit it to remain where it is now.
Those who levy and collect taxes would do everybody a
favor by realizing the fact. The average property owner
will pay a fair and equitable tax, but he cannot pay be
yond the limit of his means—and he will not. Just why
state legislatures cannot grasp the truthfulness of this and
start economizing, and reducing taxes, inctead of
ing to pile on heavier burdens, is past understanding.
JUST COMMON SENSE
No laws should be needed to compel a motorist to
drive with added caution when he is in the neighborhood
of a schoolhouse, either in city or town or out in the rural
districts. Neither does the careful motorist need to be
warned to that effect. But there are new drivers coming
on the scene all the time, and too many of these are apt to
be careless at the start. Parents and teachers are doing
what they can to point out to the children the dangers
arising from plaving in the street or road, but they cannot
prevent * it in all instances. That is where the motorist en
ters in. He must drive when in the neighborhood of a
school as though he felt that his own child was going to
dart in front of his car at any moment. When a new driver
gets the importance of being careful in the neighborhood
of a schoolhouse fixed in his mind he has learned one of
the greatest of all safety lessons.
CARING FOR LAND
With 141 demonstration projects now under way in
41 states, the Federal government will soon be in position
to realize returns on its nation-wide campaign against soil
erosion. During the coming year government nurseries
are expected to raise six hundred million young trees and
shrubs, to be replanted later in reforestation and soil ero
Sion projects. A million pounds ot grass seed and many
pounds of rapidly growing vines are also to be used over
a wide range of states in an attempt to anchor the top soil
servation campaign has apparently begun. We as a na
tion are becoming conscious of our natural resources, the
first step in the preservation of those resources. We have
been quite wasteful for the last half or three-quarters of
a century, but there is still time to prevent the land, our
most cherished possession, from returning to the status of
a desert.

Living our lives according to the
will of God involves among other
things keeping ourselves as physi
cally fit as possible. It is the duty
i of a Christian to maintain the best
! health that care, self-denial, and
discipline can produce.
The maxim, "A sound mind in a
sound body,” finds very ready ac
ceptance in this age.
The idea that our religion has to
do only with our souls and not at all
with our bodies is a false and per
nicious one.
If it were true that Christianity
deals only with the souls of men and
not with their bodies, then we would
find it hard to explain why Jesus
spent so much of his time minister
ing to men’s physical needs. We
observed in the previous lesson how
his concern about a hungry multi
tude led to one of his most astound
mg miracles and revealed the great
compassion of his heart.
The divine wisdom of Jesus led
him to se€ that there is a reiation

every one who would help his fel

Anxious mothers had long prayed
that God would send someone to
cure the afflicted childiren; and
friends, and relatives, when they
heard the Master was in that part
of the country, hurried to the homes

Jesus and his disciples. They laid

among Christian believers, appre

counsel in the matter of the child's

God wanted Samson to have a strong

fellow Christians in Corinth. He
knew full well that many of them
either did not know it or, if they did, j
that they were not living their livesj
on the basis of this knowledge.
A man s fullest consecration takes
place when he regards his body as
God’s temple and offers it to the,
living God for a dwelling place. j 1
It is not enough that we teach
our children to refrain from dis
sipation and to observe the rules of
health simply because such actions
will bring them more happiness
than to do otherwise. They must be j
led to understand a truth vastly
more fundamental: namely, that the
human body is a sacred temple
which God expects to be dedicated
to his service, and such being the
case, it must be treated with the
reverence of a holy place.
The Apostle warned them to do
nothing that would destroy the tern
pie of God. The penalty for so do
ing. he said, would be destruction.
When men raise hands of violence
against anything that is holy, they
do so at their own peril.
The Bible makes it very clear
that dissipation and spiritual en

the youth of our generation is to
lmp(ress this wlemn truth upon
their minds.
In his Epistle to the Romans (12:
1, 2) Paul’s tone change from that
of warning to persuasion. He uses
the word “beseech” as he voices his
desire for his brethren that they
may present their bodies a living
sacrifice to God.
They are to do this because God :
is all in all, and to glorify him is
at one and the same time man’s
greatest duty and privilege.
He says that it is the duty of
Christians to present their bodies ;
“a living sacrifice.’’ As Jesus Christ I
died on the cross, a sacrifice for the !
sins of the whole world, so every i
one who believes in Christ is to nail
to the cross all those inordinate de
sires over which a man must tri
umph if he would please God.
The cross of Jesus Christ only
operates in behalf of that man who
is willing to follow the example of
the Master and take up his own
cross daily and follow his Lord.
And this, says Paul, is our spirit
ual—or as the King James Virsion
has it, our “reasonable”—service.
God is not asking anything un
reasonable of us when he asks us
to give our all to him. It is a fair
exchange of loving service at which
no Christian believer should demur.
God cannot use part of us: he must
have all of us. And in the gift of
his Son, Jesus Christ, he has set us
the example of such oomplete and
perfect giving that there can be no
doubt in our minds how we are
to give ourselves to him.
To give one’s self to unhallowed i
