By CALEB JOHNSON.
Up to a very few years ago Stock I
Exchange prices interested only a
comparatively small number of peo
ple. Until the war we had no large
class of investors in America. When
the war came along and the Liber
ty Bond campaigns began, millions
of people for the first time paid out
money in exchange for pieces of pa
per for securities. After the war
they found they could sell those
securities for something more than
they had paid for them. They had
n't expected to make a profit when
they bought them, but they did
make a profit, or at least got their
money back. It was easy, then, for
bond salesmen and stock jobbers to
persuade the same people to buy
other securities, and for a while the
security markets kept going up, so
that speculators could sell at a
profit Within a very short time
we became almost an entire nation
of stock market speculators.
And then the bottom dropped out.
It dropped out because stock
prices had gone up to figures which
had no relation whatever to the
value and earnings of the compan
ies in which they represented
shares. The minute international
disturbances unsettled internation
al trade and the market for com
modities suddenly got narrower, re
sulting in the slackening of business
and industry, shares should, in the
ory, have dropped to their actual
values.
Instead of that, they dropped
away below their actual values, and
because it necessarily takes a long
time to bring about economic re
adjustments, and our country alone
could not cure the situation, be
cause so much of it hinged upon
the economic condition of Europe
people who had tied up their mon
ey in stocks and wanted to get it
out began throwing them on the
market at whatever price they
could get, and that sent the market
down still lower.
And as is the way of human na
ture, people who have thus sudden
ly found themselves in a difficult
situation have been looking in ev
ery direction for a miracle to hap
pen that would put them back to
where they were without any effort
on their own part.
The government ought to do
something about it" Well, the gov
ernment has been trying to do
something about it and a very large
part of the activities in Washing
ton and in the capitals of Europe
and in the headquarters of the
League of Nations for the past two
years has been tne effort to do
something about it. But as each
step in these governmental and in
ternational attempts to restore the
economic balance has failed to
work a miracle over night, the at
titude of the stock market has be
come one of distrust of every gov
ernmental effort and activity.
It must always be remembered
that the people who went into the
stock market to make money went
in with the idea that they could get
rich without working. A very few
do succeed in doing that, but the
great majority of people who play
the market always lose in the long
run. If, when the market crashed,
everybody who owned stocks had
just taken his medicine and said,
"well, that's that," and forgotten
about It, and kept right on work
ing at his regular business or his
job, we wouldn't have any such dif
ficulties as we have been going
through. But that, again, is not in
accordance with human nature.
What the people who set out to
make money without working want
is something that will restore the
fictitious profits which they think
they made, or should have made,
in that effort. Such a restoration
of security prices probably never
will come about. It is extremely
doubtful whether the present gener
ation will ever see the list of Stock
Exchange securities selling at such
high prices as they were selling in
the Spring of 1929, But down In
Wall Street they are still looking
for miracles to hapepn, and the
other day stock and bond prices be
gan to go up.
What started them up was the
announcement that a syndicate of
bankers, headed by Thomas W. La
mont of J. P. Morgan and Company
had raised a fund of $100,000,000 In
cash with which to buy good secur
ities, bonds and stocks, not for the
purpose of speculation, but because
they are good investments at the
present prices.
That was something that Wall
Street can understand. It was their
At Heppner
CHURCHES
own people, spending their own
monev. who were talking.. This
was not some governmental scheme
promoted by politicians at Wash
ington, but it was the decision of
hard-headed bankers that the time
was ripe for them to buy.
The mere announcement of this
program has had a most tremen
dous effect upon the psychology of
the investing and speculative pub
lie. So far as New York and the
stock market people are concerned
it meant the definite beginning of
the upturn. It reassured the peo
ple who had been hesitating about
buying for fear that prices might
go lower, and it encouraged the
people who owned depreciated se
curities to hold on to them in the
belief that their prices will go
higher.
It was a remarkable example of
the psychological effect of a gesture
on the part of people in whom the
investing public has full confidence.
I am writing this because, in the
past few days, I have become con
vinced that we have not only reach
ed the bottom of the depression', but
are beginning to come up, but there
is no use in expressing an opinion
of that kind without some facts to
back it up. Too many people have
been saying for a long time that the
upturn was just around the corner.
It is nearer than that now. It is
right here.
The immediate effect of even a
slight rise in the stock market, if
the higher prices are maintained
is, among other things, to stabilize
the value of stock market securit
ies as a basis for bank loans. This
in turn should enable a great many
persons who could use money for
productive purposes but have been
unable to get it, to obtain loans and
so start bank credit into circulation
again. The banks have plenty of
money but they have not had
enough demand for properly se
cured loans.
A great deal of the recent hesi
tation on the part of business and
industry about going ahead has
been the doubts naturally raised by
the political hullaballoo in Wash
ington, as to what form of taxation
would be adopted in the new rev
enue bill. That is all settled. Was
the gvernment going to economize?
That has been settled. We have bal
anced our budget and the govern
ment's credit is not going to be un
duly strained. There was a lot of
undercover talk for a while about
the possibility of the United States
going off the gold basis. There
never was anything to that, but the
imagination of a terrified few, but
it had its effect in keeping men or
big means on the anxious seat, so
they were actually afraid to risk
their money. That is all over. It
is perfectly clear that we are not
going off the gold standard.
There are two more things which
will have to be over and done with
before the business and Industry of
the nation will get back into full
swing. One is the political nomin
ating conventions, and after those
are over I look for another sharp
although perhaps not very prolong
ed rise in the stock market. The
next is the Presidential election,
and, whichever way it goes, it will
be regarded as having at least de
nned the country's policy for the
next four years, and so another
element of uncertainty will have
been removed.
In the meantime, the government
al agencies, the Reconstruction Fi
nance Corporation, which have
been entrusted with the job of
loosening up credit and saving
some of the railroads and big In
dustries from ruin have been doing
their Job pretty well. The Federal
Reserve Banks are cooperating to
the best of their ability under "the
law. It has been, In many ways,
the most curious depression In that
it has been largely a state of mind.
There has been a lot of unemploy
ment, but almost nothing approach
ing actual starvation. A great
many people have stopped buying
luxuries, and have taken reductions
In salaries and wages, but on the
other hand there has been a gen
eral decline in rents and in almost
all commodity prices, so that by
comparison with three years ago
the living scale of the majority of
the people has not been greatly re
duced. And I believe that I am perfect
ly safe In saying that as I write
this, early In June, 1932, the worst
Is over, and we can look for fair

No man wants to be a failure in
life. He wants to make the great
est success possible. The merchant,
the doctor, lawyer, all aim to be
successful. Surely we ought to
strive to be successful Christians. .
Salvation means two things:
leaving some things and clinging
to other things.- When we leave sin
and unbelief we enter into Christ;
when we leave Christ we enter into
sin and unbelief. Many Christians
fail because they do not leave their
sin when they take their Christian
vows. A man can be a success B.t
nothing by giving only half time to
that work. If we are to be success
ful Christiana, we must give Jesus
all our heart We must let the
world know where we stand on ev
ery question. Sinners see Christ,
not through "the eye of faith, but
through us.
We must study our Bibles to re
ceive food for our souls. The Bible
is a weapon. We need it to fight
Satan. If we are successful Chris
tians, we must have access to God,
We should go to Him with all our
problems and sorrows and wait on
Him until He speaks back to us.
Let us so live that we can hear His
welcome words, "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant."
A welcome awaits you at all our

to develop one's latent powers and
possibilities.
But whatever else we may say
about it we do not need to surren
der to physical affliction. It may
handicap us, but it does not neces
sarily preclude the possibility of
achieving something worth while.
The cases cited above are only a
few out of a long list of those who
bear witness to what may be done
under the handicap of bodily distress.
"There was given me a thorn in
the flesh," says Paul. Yet what a
career he achieved in spite of that
thorn. If you have been given e
thorn in the flesh, you will gain
nothing by whimpering and com
plaining about it To surrender and
give up because of it would be an
ignoble thing. Instead of doing
either, you should accept the chal
lenge of the thorn and in spite of
it, prove yourself. Let the thorn
be a challenge to prove what you
can do, in spite of infirmity. The
same grace which was all-sufficient
for Paul, is available for every per
son, under the shining sun of heav
en this hour, the grace of Jesus
Christ; with it you can battle thru
and win in spite of any thorn in the
flesh. -

"There was given to me a thorn
in the flesh." 2nd Cor. 12-7.
Milton was blind. Beethoven was
deaf. Helen Keller was blind and
deaf and dumb. Michelangelo had
a broken nose. Pope was made so
crooked by disease that he was
called an interrogation point. Al
fred the Great was afflicted with a
disease that did not allow him an
hour's rest
Homer, Virgil, Horace, Pascal,
Dante, Cowper, Hawthorne, Car
lyle, Bacon, Livingstone and Rus
kin were all invalids, semi or con
firmed. It is marvellous how many
men and women who have achieved
great things have been tortured
with some physical infirmity.
Naturally we regard bodily af
fliction as a misfortune; but oft
times it is a misfortune which
proves to be the shrine of a larger
fortune. Often the brightest char
acters and the greatest successes
come out of physical suffering and
mental travail. It seems as though
suffering is many times necessary
