C E R T A I N man in N e w York filled out his
income tax report.
It showed an income so large that his tax w as
53%. A n d his total gifts to church and char
ity fo r the y e a r w ere $148.
Think o f it— thousands spent for luxuries and
pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world
a little better than he found it!
Most o f us do better than that; but not so very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes is

N o wonder that 80% of the ministers o f Am erica
are paid less than $20 a week. N o wonoer that
the church hospitals turn a w a y thousands o f sick
people a year. N o wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 400,000 people. N o wonder
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.

The Interchurch W o rld Movement represents the united
program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed
their whole task, no business could have done it better.
They have budgeted their needs; no business could have
a more scientific budget. T h ey have united to prevent the
possibility o f waste and duplication. At least a million dol
lars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual cam
paigns are joined in one united effort.
And they come to the men or women w ho love America
— to you— this week asking you to use them as the chan
nel through which a certain definite part of your income
can be be applied to make this a better wot Id.
Only you can determine what part of your income that
should be.
I s a good time right now to answer that question
W e ’re passing through the world just once; h ow much
better w ill the world be because y o u passed through?

It isn’t because w e are selfish; it isn’t because w e

THE PATIENT PARROT.
Once upon a time there was a
parrot, owned by the proprietor of
a restaurant whose business was
always brisk at mealtime. It had
a perch near the door, and during
the crowded period of the day was
trained to say, "Take your time,
gentlemen; there's plenty of them
| And are putting out the best bread on the market, g left." In the course of time the
parrot escaped through the open
