EIGHT BILLION PACT
OK’D BY 4 RY. LINES
Commerce Commission Giv¬
ing Plan Attention.
New Y T ork.—After five years of ne¬
gotiation and controversy, the presi¬
dents of the eastern trunk lines for¬
mally announced a plan for consoli¬
dating the chief railroads in their
territories into four great systems.
With a mileage of about 00,000, these
roads comprise about one-fifth the
mileage of the entire country. Each
of the four enlarged systems will be
worth about'two billion dollars.
The announcement was made
through tlte issuance of a copy of a
letter which has been sent to the Inter¬
state Commerce commission.
It is signed by General Atterbury,
P. E. Crowley, president of the New
York Central railroad; Daniel Willard,
president of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, and ,T. J. Bernet, president of
the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad.
Each of the railroads whose presi¬
dents signed the letter will become a
basis for an enlarged trunk line.
While the plan, as announced, Is the
culmination of many years of effort,
its completion at this time is the re¬
sult of the Influence brought to bear
by President Hoover. Important con¬
struction by the eastern roads has
in many cases been deferred because
of the uncertainty as to their future
timler a plan of general consolidation,
which, it was known, eventually must
he devised.
It was the belief of the administra¬
tion that an agreement on consolida¬
tion would he of benefit, not only to
the railroads but to the country as a
whole, by stimulating Industry.
Under the terms of the plan the four
railroads represented at the confer¬
ence would he enlarged as follows:
The New York Central will receive
the Delaware, Lackawanna & West¬
ern railroad and a direct connection
with the Virginian railway.
The Pennsylvania will receive the
Wabash, Detroit, Toledo & Ironton
and the Norfolk & Western and cer¬
tain rights over the Lehigh Valley.
Rights on the Nickel Plate will go to
the Pennsylvania, under arbitration.
To the Baltimore & Ohio will go
the Ann Arbor, Reading, Central Rail¬
road of New Jersey, Western Mary¬
land, Buffalo, Rochester and & Pitts¬
burgh, Buffalo & Susquehanna, Le¬
high & Hudson River, and the Chi¬
cago & Alton.
The Chesapeake & Ohio allocation
comprises the Nickel Plate, Hocking
Valley, Erie, Bessemer and Lake Erie,
l’ere Marquette, Wheeling & Lake
Erie, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, and
the Lehigh Valley.
Allocation of the Ann Arbor to the
B. & O. previously had not been in¬
dicated. This will give the IJ. & O. an
entrance Into Michigan which it would
have received if plans It formerly fur¬
thered for acquisition of the Wabash
had been carried through. The Wa¬
bash now controls the Ann Arbor.
Wliiie this division of the eastern
railroads represents a triumph for the
Chesapeake & Ohio and Baltimore &
Ohio, the two roads which stood to
gain most by consolidation, it also
means the collapse of other schemes
for consolidation put forward by am¬
bitious railroad heads,

THE MINISTRY OF JOHN THE
BAPTIST
LESSON TEXT—Luke 3:7-20
GOLDEN TEXT—Bring forth there¬
fore fruits worthy of repentance, and
begin not to say within yourselvae,
We have Abraham to our father: for
I say unto you, That God is able of
these stones to raise up children unte
Abraham.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus and John
the Baptist.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus and John the
Baptist.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—A Courageous Reformer.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC—The Message of John the Baptist.
1. The Degeneracy of the Time*
(vv. 1, 2).
The Jews had sunk to a very low
level of civil, moral and religious life.
Luke carefully enumerates the civil
and religious rulers in order to show
the profligacy of the times and there¬
fore the need of a messenger to call
the people back to God and virtue.
Caesar has been described as “talent¬
ed, ambitious, cruel, licentious, infa¬
mous, inhuman.” CivH rule was di¬
vided between four of Rome’s vas¬
sals. Pontius Pilate a little later at¬
tained notoriety by unjustly and in a
cowardly manner condemning Je*»s
to death. Herod, the son of Herod the
Great, was a murderer. Annas and
Calaphas were corrupt ecclesiastical
rulers.
II. The Nature of John's Ministry
(vv. 3-6).
Out of the wilderness John flashed
forth, preaching the baptism of re¬
pentance for the remission of sins
(v. 3). The baptism was a sign of
repentance. His ministry is declared
to be a fulfillment of Isaiah’s proph¬
ecy. He is described as one calling
upon the nation to prepare for the
coming of the Messiah. The only hope
for the world is God’s salvation
through Jesus Christ. The valleys of,
righteousness need to be filled. The
mountains and hills of sin need to be
brought low. The crooked ways of
commerce need to he straightened,
and the rough ways of society and na¬
tions need to lie smoothed. Let men
accept Jesus Christ and all war and
contention will end. Men will then
love each otiier.
III. The Content of John’s Message
(vv. 7-18).
J. A denunciation of sin (vv. 7, 8).
He called the people “a generation of
vipers.” He charged them with being
essentially wicked and deceitful.
Knowing the subtle hypocrisy of tltese
Jews, he demanded evidence of their
sincerity.
2. An announcement of Judgment
(v. 9.) He declared that the ax was
laid at tile root of the tree and that
the tree not bringing forth fruit was
to he hewn down and cast into the
fire. John made it very plain (hat for
their sins they should be called into
judgment. To he brought face to face
with judgment lias a sobering effect
upon men. Paul’s preaching of a
judgment to come made Felix tremble
(Acts 24:25). While John preached
sin and judgment, he accompanied it
with the assurance of pardon on con¬
dition of repentance.
3. Instructions to ttie inquirers (vv.
10-14). (1) The people (vv. 10, 11).
Each man was to turn from his be¬
setting sin and show love and kind
ness to his fellow men. Clothing and
food were to he given to those who
had need. The people were to turn
from a life of selfishness and greed
and do unto others as they would lie
done by. (2) Publicans (vv. 12, 13).
These taxgatherers who were guilty of
greed nnd oppression were not asked
to give up their occupation, but to ex
act only that which was appointed
by law. (3) The soldiers (v. 14). These
were probably the policemen of that
day, at least men on military duty,
They were to refrain from false aeeu
sntion and doing violence to men, and
to be content with their wages.
4. Testimony to Jesus (vv. 15-18).
The people were musing in their hearts
as to whether John was indeed the
Messiah. When John perceived this
he. with fine humility, declared that
his mission was so lowly by compari
son with that of Christ that he would
be unworthy to perform the menial act
of a slave in loosing the lachet of
his shoes. John baptized with water.
but Christ would baptize with the
Holy Ghost and with fire.
IV. John’s Imprisonment (vv. 19,
20 ).
Because of his reproof of Herod for
his lewdness and other sins, John went
to the dungeon and eventually was
beheaded. God’s faithful prophets are
usually despised hv the world, and
some are even imprisoned, burned, or
beheaded.
Faith
It is the wind that carries the ship
across the waves; but the wind is pow¬
erless unless the hand of the boatman
Is held firmly upon the rudder, and
that rudder is set hard against the
wind. This is the attitude of steadfast
faith to divine omnipotence. We hold
the rudder: God fills the sails. It is
not the rudder that carries the ship,
but it is the rudder which catches the
wind which carries the ship. And so
God keeps us in perfect peace while
we are stayed ia him.—A. B. Simpson.
World Ever or Lookout
for Ideas Worth While
Cason J. Calloway of La Grange,
Ga., “took an idea to market” and
found it profitable.
He has kept up a constant search
for new ideas to .use in his business
ever since. And the practice still
continues a successful one.
The idea was to buy short staple
cotton left after the manufacture of
tire fabrics and other cotton gopds.
It had been selling as waste. Cason
Cailoway planned to grade it, com¬
mand higher prices than a waste
product would bring and eventually
manufacture from it cotton products
not requiring a long fiber. In three
years his valley waste mill was
worth $300,000 and doing nicely.
Since the World war the Callo¬
way group of mills has expanded
from nine to fourteen units. Their
products are diversified—and that
diversification is the result of using
new ideas. Often a new idea Is the
result of an accident.
One day a foreman took to the
plant hospital a worker whose little
finger had been badly torn. On the
way back to the mill he began to
remember a number of such accidents.
Im . gation revealed they al! traced
to the same cause, the use of cotton
waste for cleaning moving machin¬
ery. A worker got his fingers tan¬
gled in the fibers and before he could
free himself had lost or badly in¬
jured a digit.
The experimental laboratory was
put to work on this problem. It pro¬
duced a wiping cloth made of ttie
very same waste, that did the work
better and eliminated the danger.
Mr. Calloway sent out a surveying
group to determine if a market, for
such cloths existed. And the sale of
such cloths last year totaled 50,000,
000 units.
WOMEN SHOULD
