W TO PREVENT INFLATION”
There is a timely article in
this week’s issue (July 4) of the
Saturday Evening Post. This
artice, “Invisible Greenbacks,”
should be read and heeded by
every citizen of the United
States. It shows how the pur
chase of War Bonds to the limit
of our ability will prevent infla
tion in this country. The pur
chase of War Bonds by individu
als keeps the government from
requiring banks to buy bonds
and thus creating “invisible
greenbacks” which lead to in-
Uation; for invisible greenbacks
are “new bank deposits created
by government-borrowing-from
banks” or “potential dollar
bills.”
By special permission from the
publishers of The Post secured
through Wm. Allen White,editor
of the Emporia Gazette of Em
poria, Kansas, we are quoting
from this article, Invisible Green
backs, by Harry Scherman the
following excerpts;
Invisible Greenbacks
Every “runaway inflation” in
history has had the same prime
cause: an enormous sudden in
crease in the money being used
by a people. Such a swift in
crease in our own nation’s mon
ey-supply is now taking place
invisibly! And it is we tens of
millions of patriotic citizens who
are responsible for most of that
increase. Through negligence,
of course, but does that malt,
any difference?
By failing to buy War Saving
Bonds, with money we can spar
for that purpose, we uie io„
linually forcing tn e UnLvi
States Treasury to create na»
money with which t» pay .tsw,.
bills.
The key fact for laymen to
grasp here is that wnen we in
dividuals buy Government se
curities, we use dollar bills oi
bank deposits that are already in
existence. But when me com
mercial banks buy Government
bonds, new bank deposits ait
created with which to buy tn
bonds. Thus every dollar the
Treasury can get from us, in
taxes and bond sales, helps in
its effort to keep this total oi
“invisible greenbacks” to the
lowest possible figure.
We will never allow ourselvi s
to be defeated in tne miliuiy
war in which we are engage .
But we can very easily bo u
feated in our internal w.. i
against inflation. The war c.n
be lost it is now being u»*t
our multitudinous delinquencies
with regard to War
Bonds.
The more th e Government
gets either in taxes or individu
al loans or through its o w n
economies—the less new mone.\
it will have to create in order io
pay its war-bills. It will have to
create some; we must all keep
that “some” to very lowest pos
sible figure.
Every citizen who realizes this
basic truth, and henceforth acts
upon it without procrastination,
will be able to sleep of nights
serene in his conscience ' tnat tu
is doing the minimum he can to
help save the nation from un
imaginable disaster. Not other
wise.

chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Of The Moody Bible institute of Chicng*.

Lesson for July 5

GOD THE CREATOR
■ LESSON TEXT—Genesis 1:1-5. 24-31; 2:1.
GOLDEN TEXT—In the beßinnlng God
created the heaven and the earth. — Genesla
1:1.
What is to become of this world?
That is the question on the mind
and lips of everyone as they see all
mankind engaged in a struggle
which bids fair to wipe out every
thing called civilization.
In such a time it is good to remind
ourselves that man did not make
this world, nor is it the product
of natural forces. God made it.
God, who is eternal, infinite,
knowing all from the beginning, is
not moved by the impulses of the
moment nor staggered by the catas
! trophes of a day. He made the
i world. He made man. He had a
plan for them, and still has a plan
which in due season He will work
out for His own glory.
I. God Made the Heavens and
Earth (vv. 1-5, 24-25).
The plain biblical account of cre
ation—‘‘ln the beginning God”—
stands as a dignified, satisfactory,
intelligent explanation of the origin
of things, and in bold contrast to
the confusing and almost unbeliev
able theories of men.
The best of scientists admit that
they know nothing of the origin of
j things, and some even confess that
: they never will know. The answer
to the query with which every hu
man philosophy opens is the af
firmation with which the divine ac
count in Genesis opens—‘‘ln the be
! ginning God,”
j Space forbids full discussion of the
! account of creation, but a study of
it will reveal its beautiful order,
1 ! symmetry, and completeness. Sci
| ence, when it gets beyond theories
i to facts, finds them confirmed by
Scripture. Please do not reverse
that and speak of science confirming
Scripture. If my watch does not
agree with the time of the stars, it
is the watch that must be reset.
11. God Made Man in His Own
Image (vv. 26-30).
Although man, under the control
of Satan, docs not give much ground
I for the observation, it is neverthe
j less true that he was made in the
| likeness and image of God. Because
that is true, we never give up hope
for him. That image, no matter
how deeply defaced by sin, still may
be touched by redeeming grace and
i restored to fellowship with God.
j The likeness and image of God in
11 man undoubtedly refers to a moral
| and spiritual likeness. Man is a
I living soul with intelligence, feel
j ing, and will power. He is a moral
being, knowing the difference be
tween right and wrong. He is a
self-conscious, personal being.
To man God gave dominion over
i the earth and all its potential pow
i ers. Sometimes one has been hope
, j ful that man was making good prog
ress in the development of the
j earth’s resources for his own good
j and the glory of God. But one is
I almost tempted to conclude now
j that he has used this great God-given
i opportunity only for destruction and
; j death. Only a revival of real Chris
| tianity can bring him back to his
j senses. Let us pray and work for it.
Observe that the family was es
tablished as the center of man's
| life on earth, as God gave him a
i “help meet unto him.” Woman was
j taken “not out of man’s head that
' j she should rule over him; nor out
I of his feet to be trampled upon;
but out of his side to be equal with
him, under his arm to be pro
tected by him, and near his heart
to be loved by him” (Matthew Hen
-1 ry).
The decay of family life and the
1 substitution of social or civic units
1 jjs the basis of life have led to dis
) dstrous results. Not only do we
. need a revival of religion, we also
I need a revival of the home life of
the nation.
111. God’s Creation Was Com
plete and Good (1:31; 2:1).
’ | When men do recognize the hand
' ] of God in creation they all too often
j seem to feel that what He made
1 was very limited and defective. It
would almost seem that God ought
to be grateful that man has been
so clever about perfecting His work,
developing it and making it useful.
As a matter of fact, God who had
all knowledge and whose standards
are higher than man’s standards
could possibly be, looked over His
creation and “behold, it was very
good” (v. 31). It was a “finished”
job (2:1).
Man has destroyed much of its
| beauty. Sin came in and marred
the whole creation. What man’s in
ventive cleverness has developed
of the possibilities of this world is
j only a minute fraction of what is
. yet available. Instead of boasting,
I man might well be ashamed of the
( pathetic slowness with which he has
I “thought God’s thoughts after Him.”
Instead of fighting and destroy
j ing, he ought to give his energies to
; building, developing, and above all,
to loving God with all his heart and
1 his neighbor as himself (Matt. 22:
37-40). This is God’s first and great
i commandment to you and to me.
