oxriii linnrn SINN Uljbtb LO PEACE Endeavor Convention Speak er Asks Youth to Sup port Movement Record crowds attended the Sat urday sessions of the state Chri tion Endeavor convention, with Ker. Luther E. Stela's addresses the principal items of interest for the assembly at the wornirig and afternoon session. Prefacing his remarks with the startling statement that if come SO of the world's leading states men, financiers and industrial leaders could be lined np against a wall and told to stop all war or they would be shot immediate ly or they would bo the first to die if such could happen, all war would be .'topped, Mr. Stein talk ed on "World Peace, the Crusad er's Task." Speaks l'ruiu Kperieiic Mr. Stein was an artilleryman during the war and from his own experience and the experience of his "buddies," he asserted at least half the fighters in the last war don't want more war. He- pointed to the tremendous cost of war. in money aJone of $35,000,000,000. added to which was the real co?t of thousands of lives of youth and manhood.

Talks In Af tot noon Throughout his message, the San Franciscan asked and uiged that the Christian Endeavor place its support and efforts in the chan nels of the movement for world peace.

Comer, pastor of the Seventh Day Adrentlst church, corner Gaines and 6th street, makes the following , announce ment of meetings for the new week: prayer meeting Wednesday evening at 7:45 o'clock; young people's meeting Friday evening at 7:45 o'clock; and services this Sunday evening on "How the Re riMinMl Will Snend the First 10M Rasing his sermon somewhat on a recent government analysis whtth shows that less than one cent of every dollar spent in Am erica goes to the church. Rev. Meredith Groves of the Ford Me morial community church in West Salem will preach this morning on "A Paying Investment." The con tent of his message will be. as fol lows: 1 ' ' ' ' "A man's character Is tested by the company he keeps." "What one reads is an index to his char acter." "The use one makes of his leisure time determines his char acter and destiny." These are fa miliar, but perhaps a more true maxim for the testing of charac ter than the above is the follow ing: "How tme gets -and spends hi? monev is an index to his char acter." Tlie test of a man's reli gion is determined by the rela tive amount of pnoney he puts into it. compared to that which he spends upon himself. Hold Religion Cheaply That the average American church member evaluates his reli gion quite cheaply is graphically portrayed by an analysis recently made by the secretary of the board cf foreign missions of the Metho dist Episcopal church. This anal ysis based on government figures showed that each dollar spent in America was divided as follows: Living costs, as ent. food, etc., 24.5 cents: luxury. 22 cents; mis cellaneous 13.5 cents; investments 11 cents; crime S.5 cents; govern ment, 4.5 cents; education. 1.5 cents; and the church .75 cents. The tithe, or the paying of one tenth of one's income for religions purposes lias the sanction of the religious of ancient rimes, and is the standard for minimum giving established in the Old and New Testament scriptures. With the greater claims and privileges of the Christian religion the Chris tian should at least give that much of his Income for the spread of the gospel. Jesns Faced Question Jesus is said by some to have dealt with the question of money more than any other question men tioned in his teachings. It Is sig nificant that 16 of his 38 parables deal with that subject. Failure to acknowledge God's ownership by payment of the tithe Is said in the Old Testament to be punished by material -reverses. In the New Testament blight of soul is visited upon the man who lived only for himself and left the ministry of others out of has life. The tragedy of the rich young ruler was not that he owned wealth but that his wealth owned him. The rich fool found that there were no pockets in his shroud to take with him the goods which he thought he possessed, but found himself empty handed called to stand before God. Today the trag edy is seen in the fact that the non-paying members of the churches are the ones which lore interest in the most vital things of life the spiritual ones. That investing a portion of one's income regularly in Christian work pays is J.he testimony of many people. Some lay emphasis upon the material blessings gained. In many cases these do seem t j come. But the greater blessings received are those of a spiritual nature. "Nine dollars with. God." someone has said, "is better than ten dol lars without him." Special Event Planned By C.E. Sunday morning services at the First Presbyterian church have been planned with special empha sis for the crowds of Christian Endeavor delegates who will at tend that church as today's head quarters. Dr. Norman K. Tully. pastor, will preach on ''The Diffi culty of the Prophets" and special music has been arranged, with the following numbers: anthem. "Awake, Put on Thy Strength" by Fear is; offertory solo. VThe Peni tent" by VandeWater. William Wright; "Jubilate Deo" Silver, and "Match; In G" by Becker, or gan numbers.

Bill is a hard working man. Mary makes every penny do its full duty. But somehow the Smiths needed lots of clothing that they couldn't buy. Mary wanted a silk dress, silk hose and a pair of shoes. Bill really needed a suit, a hat and a pair of shoes. Little Johnnie ought to have a new suit, cap, a shirt and a pair of shoes. Bill only had $40 to spend.

But even there it would ordinarily take ?56.69 to buy all they needed, Then came Breier's startling offer of 1-3 discount from all regular prices, for a few days. Mary rushed down and got the same goods she had previously priced, but now they were $37.82.
