Lest We Forget
; When the warm Sundays arrive and little excuses pre
vent, attending church in La Grande and in almost every
other community in the country, it is a fine habit to send
in your donation to the church anyway, for churches can-
nut live without financial aid. Speaking of financial as
sistance to churches, however, here are a couple of instances
on tithing which are worth reading. We believe the L. D.
S. people, who rigidly adhere to tithing will apprediate the
forcefulness of these men's experiences:
"In New tork City there is a merchant tailor witha
large shop in one of the high-rent buildings which hun
dreds of thousands of persons pass daily; it is along one
of the veiy congested pathways of the city," writes Wil
liam G. Shepherd in the World's Work,
i .. "To this man," he adds, !'his own success in business
hns '. only one explanation his tithing. He spoke to mc
lis frankly about it as he might about any other business
practice.
'r 'Any man who plays fair with God," he uuid, 'is sure
,to prosper. I started tithing when I got the idea some years,
ago ;that all I had belonged to God, and that Ha was per
imittjing mo to use rt.wlfep4cten, W eWir4e Vlicn I began
to tithe, thnt my net income would be reduced by JO per
ijcenfc But this has never happened to me.. Each year's net
'Income has bren larger in spite of tithing.
V "'When the lease on these quarters ran out a few
jeara ago, a great increase in rent was Hriiinded. We have
a very choice corner in a very superior location, but it was
hard to' see how we could make the payments. I talked
the, matter over with my wife, and we both decided that,
even if it became necessary to move, we would not stop
tithing.. We signed the new lease, and at the end of the
jiext twelve months our net profits showed a fine increase.'
J; ' , . ,
'Tu'lnnf Innnot hit dnA lims I,, K VI .,,! ,,.,..,.,
loaned by toay has been the working motto of one of
the' most noted furnace manufacturers of the country.
; "He has a life of business achievement behind him, and
he attributes it all to the fact that he has considered him- j
self a steward of divinely lent elements of success.
".'I had to leave school when I was fourteen,' he ex
plained to me. 'I was thejoldest of seven children. When
j was a ,boy the pastor of our church convinced me that I
everything ;I had, or would have, in life would belong to j
(God. As. soon as I understood this I began putting aside 1
ime-tenth of everything I earned, every day, no matter
iow smnll it was. I went out into life with empty pock.Hs i
mid willing hnnds and a firm belief in. my responsibility
to God. God has mow than kept His promise to me finan
cially and spiritually.'" .

Those Pockets
IHWhy do men persist in wearing coats in torrid weather?
What come of the shirtsleeve style that was being boomed
before the war? No matter how wide the agitation or the
discussion of the abolition of the coat, man comes back tn
it and offers no explanation. Is he such a slave to cus
tom, to fashion, that he cannot bear to be different? Yet
he is all the time harping on women's slavery to the mode.
(., An Indianapolis man oilers what may be the real an- j
swer to this clinging to the coat. Everybody knows the
mystery of the contents of tho small lw.v's pockets. This
Iloosier suggests that man never outgrows that habit and
that he sticks, to his coat simply because he has to have
pockets to carry all the junk he thinks he wants with him.
Woman has handbags .that carry the few articles she deems
essential. Can anyone imagine a man going around with
a; handbag over his arm? He'd 'rather swelter and melt
ina coat and have the pockets. ' '

You undoubtedly liavc pretty well
denned ideas of how much motor
ing your money can buy in the
four-cylinder field.
But if you arc not personally
familiar with the good Maxwell of
today, your ideas are due for a
thorough revision. We can prom
ise.you that after you have put
the good Maxwell to a thorough
test.
With the participation of the
Chrysler engineering staff, the
progress of the good Maxwell lifts
it far beyond the values usually
found in, four-cylint,vr cars at
any price.
By values we mean performing
satisfaction, ready acceleration,
freedom from vibration, certainty
of control, easy riding, thorough
going dependability, and, by all
means, operating and maintenance
economy.
-These values are the direct result
of materials and workmanship . .
and a wealth cf engineering ability
and experience that is not sur
passed in the industry.
Therefore be prepared to judge the '
Coed Maxwell by standards you
have been accustomed to apply to
cars of much higher price. Even
then, the good Maxwell will give (
you a genuine surprise. '
