If the poor deserve no more than they can earn, what
about the dumb-bell who inherits a fortune he couldn't
earn.
“Slavery wasn’t so bad, “declares an old slave . . .
The Slave didn’t have to board himself when work was

Time doesn’t always fly. It depends on whether you
are waiting for your wife or waiting to be hanged.

We figured out that if you could see the 37,000 killed
by autos last year lying all in one pile you probably would
not consider the auto such an improvement after all.
Everybody nowadays seems bent on writing something
but that fewer are doing it on the dotted line.
The happiest people in any community are the ones
who married and never got over it.
A LESSON WE SHOULD HEED!
For those who wish to learn a lesson, there is a deadly
parallel between the financial failure of Richard Whitney,
prominent New York stock broker and a former head of
the New York S ock Exchange, and our national program
of spending the nation into prosperity.
The depression overtook Mr. Whitney as it did the
nation. After exhausting all his resources, he misappro
priated funds to try to save his business. The result is an
indictment for grand larceny, to which he has pleaded
guilty.
For five years, our government has been drawing on
the resources of its citizens and borrowing huge sums in
their name, with the hope that by “spending,” it could
counteract the economic forces that created the depression.
Mr. Whitney took other people’s money unlawfully. The
government, while not taking the money unlawfully, is
nevertheless dissipating it and continuously spending far |
oeyond its income.
Mr. Whitney and the government, in their endeavor
to go counter to economic laws, court disaster. The day of
reckoning has overtaken Mr. Whitney sooner than it will
the government which has the power to spend the last dol- i
lar of oi the me citizen’s ciiizeii , resources resuuices.
Representative Maury Maverick ot Texas summed
the national situation up when he said recently: We have
pulled all the rabbits out of the hat, and there are no more
rabbits.” Can our lawmakers not learn a lesson from the
Whitney tragedy as it applies to the handling of other
people’s money? Although they can squander the peo
pie's wealth lawfully, the result will be the same for the
public as though they had misappropriated it unlawfully,

Golden Text: What doth it profit a
man, to gain the whole world, and
forfeit his life? Mark 8:;»6.
Jesus with his disciples at this
time went north towards Caesarea
Phiiippi, apparently with the object
of having a close private interview
with them and making to them a
momentous revelation.
When they were far off from the
busy scene in which they had

And now across the path of the
disciples falls for the first time the
fateful shadow of the cross. From
that time began Jesus to part the
veil of the future before them and
show them things to come. “And
he began to teach them, that the
Son of Man must suffer many things.

He saw his path running straignt
up to Jerusalem into the murder
ow hatred of the priests and scribes.
Beyond their hatred he saw the
terrible cross standing with its arms
outstretched to clasp and crush him
in an agony of death; and beyond
the cross he saw the power and
splendor of the resurrection morning.
This had been hidden from the
disciples, but Jesus had been bearing
the dreadful secret all along. The
Lamb of God was slain from the
foundation of the world, and before
man had sinned or ever the moun
tains had been brought forth, the
Son of God gave himself to the work
of redemption.
Jesus knew what was coming; the
cross was no surprise to nim. Pa
tiently, unflinchingly he bore the
burdens of human sin and calmly
faced the cross as he saw it drawing
near and nearer. This was the expres
Sion of his infinite love for the
world and lor us each one.
Greater love hath no man than
this that a man lay own ins m
for his friends.
But the time had now come when
the disciples had to be let into the
secret, that they might grasp its
meaning and that they might even
Jesus himself to bear it.
The disciples were often a poor

only made his burden heavier. Peter,

But Jesus made short work of

way, and he exposed the root of his
folly in a worldly mind. Never had

But is not such self-denial and
cross-bearing a harsftv restriction

meets any such thought by casting
up the account of the transaction
and showing the gain. “For whoso
ever would save his life shall lose
it; and whosoever shall lose his life
for my sake and the gospel's shall

It is generally known that the Bob
Jones College in Cleveland, Ten
nessee, of which the writers hap
pens to be the founder, stands with
out apology for the “old time relig
ion" and for the absolute authority
of the Bible. The institution be
lieves in old time decency and the
old time Christian philosophy of
self-denial and self-control. The
question in the minds of many edu
cational leaders who have repudiat
ed to a great extent the ‘‘old time
religion” is this: How does the
old time philosophy work out in
modern life? My faith in “the old
things for which our fathers stood
lias been confirmed by a recent sur
v ey which I have had the great j
privilege to make. The Bob Jones
College is in its eleventh year. Its
graduates are scattered throughout!
America. Every student who has
been graduated from the Bob Jones
College has a position and the over
whelming majority of them are out
standing, successful leaders in their
chosen professions and fields of
service. So far as we axe able to
find, no graduate of our school ha
disgraced his name or disgraced his
testimony. The wrtier is in position
to announce to the modernistic
philosophers and to the educators
who have repudiated the old beliefs
that the old time Christian philoso
phy stitll works in the lives of young
men and women, It produces real
results. Blot out God, blot out
Heaven, blot out hell; and let this
world be all and it still pays to live
a life of self-control, of self restraint,
of self discipline. After more than
ten years of service, the Bob Jones
College has no apologies to make 'to
modernistic leaders who have reject
ed the philosophy which guided the
early school teachers of America
when these teachers taught their
students that self-denial, self-con
trol. and not just self-expression,
were necessary to the building of
character. Many of the
educational theories of “self-ex
