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.

all the automobiles, colleges and
schools in thfs country.
Talks In Af tot noon
Throughout his message, the
San Franciscan asked and uiged
that the Christian Endeavor place

nels of the movement for world
peace.
In "his afternoon taik on "Cit

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."

Bill and Mary are the parents of little Johnnie, who is
now about eight years old.
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. Mary always shopped at
Breier's, because she knw their regular everyday prices
were the lowest in the west. 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. Mary's sales slip read like
