UNION RECORDER, MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., MARCH 7. 1121 sT INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I SCHOOL LESSON FOR MARCH 17 THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH j Exodus 20:8-11; Matthew 12.1-8; Revelation 1:10 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. O. By Arthur Brisbane 8 A BANK FOR BROKERS. NO ARSENIC. PLEASE, F. R USURY UNNECESSARY. INVEST, DO NOT CAMBLE. i the la response to warning* froi Federal Reserve, banks withdrew o Friday, $25,000,000 of call loan The idea was “to discourage specu lation.*’ That speculation keeps big banks and their gigantic profits alive but that is another story. When loans were called, the rate moved from r. to 9 per cent Banks calling Joans sacrificed G per cent on $25,000,000 and made an additional ;i per cent on about four billions. Even a child on the farm could un derstand that systematic usuary must l»e harmful. Even as base n thing as a speculator, buying Amer ican securities, should too systematically. •ohhed It is probable that investigation of the Federal Reserve Banks, and its accidental or intentional promotion of bank profits, through usury, will follow the laicst Federal Reserve ac tion, responsible for a loss, widely scattered, of three or more billions in a few hours. Why do not Stock Exchange men protect themselves and their cus tomers from financial tyranny. They could establish a great bnnk, especi ally for their own purples. Com pelling brokers to make call loans at that bank, on conservative margins of security, at a fair interes*. rate, and dividing profits among stock ex change mmehers, they might do something that the Federal Reserve, evidently cannot do. Controlling a monopoly of call loans, they could sell $1,009,000,000 worth of stock in an hour. If a father, to cure his children of overeating, put arsenic in their food, you would say, “Something wrong with that father.” When a paternal Federal Reserve Board, mistaking itself for the na tional government, to cure what it considers over-speculation, ruins thousands of investors by forcing usurious interest rates, you say, "Something wrong with that Federal Reserve Board.” The board is unnecessarily excite J nbou four or five billion dollars of brokers* loans. Learned financiers should realize that there is money in this country outside of banks control. Hr. Eckcr, vice-prseident of the Metropolitan Life Company, has show* that the income of American wage earners is sixty billions of dol lars a year. And they spend fifteen billions less thun they earn. Those fifteen billions nre three times the total of brokers’ louns. A nation that has every year fifteen bil lions of spending money might bor- iow a third of its excess annuul wealth for investment, or even .-peculation, without making criminal usury r'vcssary. Wall Street went to work last week convinced that the world had not quite come to an end, and a benevolent regulating Federal Re serve might be endured. Some for whom this is the begin ning of the Spring lumb season, the unhappy wiped-out minority that tried the "law down, go broke’ pericnce will know better next time. Other* will know better later. Invest within your means, America, and you get rich. Gamble here or anywhere and gambling gets One sacred day a week is not pe culiar to the Christian. The Moham medan observes Friday and the He. brew keeps the seventh day as dis tinct from the other days of the week. From the very beginning the followers of Jehovah kept thii for worship and other religious pur poses. It began in recognition of the God’s completed work in creation. When the Ten Commandments were promulgated at Mount Sinai new principles were not enunciated but formal attention was called to thnt which had already been recognized th,. right way of living. The Sabbath his ever been the day when special thought was given to the Almighty and man’s relationship to him. Such meditation naturally expresses itself in worship and then in deeds in a cord with our prayers. In addition to the three passag. indicated above turn to Genesis 2:2. 3; Matthew 28:1-10; Acts 20:7; Matthew 28:1-10; Acts 20:7: and Ro mans 14:4-6. Then very helpful in formation will be found in your gen eral or Bible dictionary under the words "Sabbath,” "Sunday” and "Lord's Day.” All the principles in the Ten Com mandments nre binding for all time. "Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy” was the direction of Jehovah to the Israelites through Moses.

After the resurrection of our Lord the first day of tho week was ob served by common consent as the Christian's Sacred Day. Each first day of the week commemorates that resurrection even as does Easter. A study of the Acts of the Apostles gives numerous references to this change of time and the reason is adequate. The Sacred day had been robbed of much of its blessings by the bur densome prohibitions. Criticism was heaped on the disciples because they picked and ate corn as they went through the fields on the Sabbath. Jesus defended them. There is place for works of necessity and mercy on this ‘‘pearl of all the days of the week.” There is religion in service more than in mere formal wor ship. One test for the right use of this Day is th c physical and spiritual condition with which we fate the re sponsibilities of the working days of the week. The Lord's Day can be n blessed delight. John was "in the Spirit on th e Lord’s Day” when he had the wonderful vision on Patinos and we, too, should so use the Lord’s Day that we will come into conscious piritual relationship with Him.
