Churches . . now uniting
Up on the hilltop above my farm
Btatids an old white church with a
tapering spire, in which religious
services have been held for nearly
150 years. When it was built by the
Congregationalists, the few families
of Baptists in the village started a
little church of their own, but more
than a hundred years ago they came
to the sensible conclusion that they
didn't need two churches, so the
congregations merged. There have
been no denominational differences
in that remote corner of New Eng
land since then.
In England the other day the
three branches of the Methodist
church agreed to drop their doctrin
al differences and unite in one
church organization. The northern
and southern divisions of some of
the American denominations which
were split by the Civil War are be
ginning to reunite. The Christian
denomination and the Congrega
tion allsta have lately merged.
Contrary to the prevailing notion,
membership in both the Protestant
and Cathol,ic churches in America
is increasing.
Determination .
girls
a mile into the depths of the ocean,
in his bathysphere.
Where we formerly lived In a
world of two dimensions, our grand
children wiH move about freely in a
three-dimensional world.
When the University of Louisi
ana announced that the college
would accept farm products instead
of money for the payment of stu
dents' fees, seventeen-year-old Ele
na Percy, of West Feliciana Parish,
got on her horse, rounded up nine
head of cattle and herded them over
forty miles of country road, to the
university, where she enrolled as a
freshman student
To me there is something not on
ly picturesque but refreshing in this
girl's demonstration that the old
pioneer spirit of America is not
dead. I have never met Alena Per
cy, but she has the spirit that over
comes obstacles, the determination
to get an education at whatever cost
in hardship and work.
My guess is that Miss Percy will
develop into a much more useful
citizen than some of the young wo
men I occasionally see riding horses
in Central Park or following the
fox hounds at the fashionable coun
try clubs.
France . her dirt farmers
The farmers of Prance have no
such problems about the marketing
of their wheat and other staple
crops as confront the farmers of
the United States. That is because
they do not export anything to
speak of, and the Importation of
staples which might bring the
French farmers' prices down is
strictly regulated by law.
Every year the authorities in each
department tell each French farm
er how many acres of winter wheat
and how many acres of spring
wheat he may sow. There is no sur
plus production. Bakers are not
allowed to use more than 3 per cent
of imported wheat In their bread.
That is one reason why the wheat
growers of France are getting $1.40
a bushel for their product this year
as against the 60 cents or less which
the American farmer gets.
Unfortunately, under our Ameri
can system we cannot exercise any
such control over individual farm
ers. Each farmer will grow what
he pleases, regardless of the prob
able market Nobody can help the
farmers but the farmers themselves,
They can only help themselves by
cooperative effort for the control of
orop production and marketing.
Some day the dirt farmers will get
together and throw out the political
farmers who make their living by
keeping the farmers and the nation
in a state of unrest.
Security .... under foot
One of my friends from back in
the hills drove over to my farm the
other day to talk about things in
general.
"I was born In the city," he told
me, "and served eight years in the
navy before I fell in love with a
country girl and married her and
came up to live on the farm. I am
milking thirty cows, but although
I am only getting two cents a quart
at the milk station I am not com
plaining. Things are going to get
better.
"I've got five smart, healthy chil
dren, we always have plenty to eat
and a roof over our heads, and
when I hear from the fellows that
I used to know In town that they
have lost their jobs and don't know
what to do for a living, I think I
am lucky."
I think he Is more than lucky. I
think my friend showed a great
deal more Intelligence in getting a
piece of land under his feet than
imost men or Ms opportunities.
Dimensions . . new points
We are Just beginning to realize
what a small part of the world we
know anything about. For millions
of years mankind lived in a thin
layer of air, less than seven feet
thick, between the surface of the
earth and the tops of our heads. We
dug a well, perhaps, or built a tow
er, but we were tied to the surface
of the land and of the sea so far as
our movements were concerned.
Nivw the airplane and the dirigi
ble take us, at will, three or four
miles or more above the surface,
and the submarine boat will carry
us two or three hundred feet below
the surface of the sea. Professor
Plccard went up ten miles into the
stratosphere not long ago. A little
later William Beebe descended half

A Strong Right Arm
Stung by his taunt, Jesus' accus
ers hesitated when he told them by
what authority he had driven the
money-changers from the Temple,
and in their moment of hesitation
were lost The soldiers turned their
backs; it was nothing that they
cared about But the crowd burst
forth in a mighty cheer and rushing
forward bore him out of the Tem
ple, the priests and the money
changers scurrying before him.
That night his action was the talk
of the town.
It is a very familiar story, much
preached upon and pictured. But
almost invariably the pictures show
Jesus with a halo around his head,
as though that was the explanation
of his triumph. The truth Is so
much simpler and more impress
ive. There was, in his eyes, a flam
ing moral purpose; and greed and
oppression have always shriveled
before such fire.
But with the majesty of Jesus'
glance there was something else
which counted powerfully in his
favor. As his right arm rose and
fell, striking its blows with that lit
tle whip, the sleeve dropped back
to reveal muscles hard as iron. No
one who watched him in action had
any doubt that he was fully ca
pable of taking care of himself. No
flabby priest or money-changer
cared to try conclusions with that
arm.
There are those to whom it will
seem almost irreverent to suggest
that Jesus was physically strong.
They think of him a a voice, a pres
ence, a spirit; they never feel the
rich contagion of his laughter, nor
remember how heartily he enjoyd
good food, nor think of what his
years of hard toll must have done
to his arms and back and legs.
Look for a moment at those first
thirty years.
There was no soft bed for his
mother on the night he entered the
world. He was brought forth in a
stable, amid animals and the animal-like
men who tended them.
When Jesus was stil an infant
the family hurried away into Egypt
On the long trip back, some years
later, he was judged old enough to
walk, for there were younger chil
dren; and so, day after day, he
trudged beside the little donkey, a
hard life.
Early in his boyhood Jesus, as
the eldest son, went into the family
carpenter shop. The practice of
carpentry was no easy business in
those simpler days. Doubtless the
man who took a contract for a
house assumed responsibilities for
digging into the rough hillside for
its foundations; for felling trees in
the forest, and shaping them with
.an adze.
In after years those who listened
to the talk of Jesus by the Sea of
Galilee, and heard him speak of
the "man who built his house upon
a rock" had no doubt that he knew
what he was talking about. Some
of them had seen him bending his
strong clean shoulders to deliver
heavy blows.
So he waxed strong" as the nar
rative tells us a phrase which has
rather been buried under the too
frequent repetition of "the meek
and lowly" and "the lamb."
