"Is my ablins-ity giving out?" "Has my re sourcefulness dried up?" "Has my right hand lost its cunning?" "Is my will-power on the wane?" Such questions plague many men today, They won't down. In view of what has befallen, this is natural. But it is not logical. If you were the only person whose income has diminish ed, if yours were the only business that has become unprofitable, you would be justified In concluding that something had gone wrong with you, with your brains, with your judgment, with your capacity, The truth Is, however, that not one man in a thousand, that not one business in a thousand, has es caped the devastating effects of events since 1929. Ponder these facts: The total in come of the people of this country is estimatetd to have fallen from approximately $90,000,000,000 to less than $50,000,000,000. One-fourth of all who. were gainfully employed are now completely idle, and a still larger number are working only part-time; almost every high salary has been drastically reduced; the income of every investor has been severely curtailed ; most wages have been cut. That is what has happen ed to individuals. The majority of companies are today paying not a single dollar on their common stocks. Examine the quarterly or other earnings' statements pub lished day-by-day and you discover that it is unusual rather than usual for any net profit whatsoever to be shown. In a great many cases the losses run into very large figures. Since the panic there have been about 80,000 commercial failures. In addition some 4,750 banks have closed. Our foreign trade has shrunk from over $9,600,000,000 in 1929 to approximately $3,000,000,000 for this year. Under all these circumstances why should we feel that we should have gone along as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened? How could we in reason have hoped to receive a special dispensation? If we still have a job any kind of a job we should realize that we are among the fortunate ones. If we have been able to keep our business going, even at a loss, we havejjea- lainpssi Sunday Schoo Lesson n a hi By Bev. Charles E. Dunn, D. D. John Prepares the Way for Jesus Lesson for January 1. Mark 1: 1-11. Golden Text: Mark 1:3. The lessons for the first 6 months of 1933 are taken from the earliest gospel, that of Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, and companion of Paul and Barnabas on their first mission ary journey. He also knew Peter intimately, absorbing the apostle's counsel and knowledge so well that his book has been called "the Gos pel of Peter." Let us take note of its salient characteristics. It is the shortest gospel, a sketch with only sixteen chapters, easily read at one sitting. Moreover it is the gospel of action. Mark is main ly interested in telling a story, and does so with simple ease. There is only one long discourse, and but four parables. But there are eigh teen miracles, one-half of the whole number recorded in all four gospels. Another impressive feature of the gospel is its rapidity. The action is quick, urgent, described in the vivid, pictorial language of an eye witness. The Greek word translat ed "straight-way" or "immediate ly occurs eleven times In the first chapter, and over forty times in the entire book. Jesus is pictured as a tireless worker of abundant ener gy. Events crowd upon one an other, as Dean Farrar says, "with the impetus sequence of the waves in a rising tide." Mark also, be it noted, is the gos pel for the Roman world, ..6 omits all Hebrew genealogies, does not emphasize the obligation of the law, inserts fewer references to the Old Testament than any of the oth er three evangelists, and employs more words of Latin origin than are to be found in any other New Tes tament book. Mark, like Paul, car ried Rome in his heart Indeed, there is reason to believe that he wrote his gospel in that ancient capital. What sort of a picture of Jesus does he paint? He presents the Master as the strong Son of God, the lion of the tribe of Judah. In the lesson for this Sunday, New Years' Day, we read Mark's brief but graphic account of that unconventional prophet, John the Baptist, whose desert education and striking sermons paved the way for our Lords' ministry. son for self-congratulation. Even those who have lost out completely, financially, workwise, businesswise, must not conclude that they have outlived their usefulness. What ever befalls, we must hold on to our self-respect. We must indulge over much in neither self -blame nor self pity. We must not surrender ab jectly to fear, but lay fast hold on faith. Our heads may be battered and bloody, but they must not be come bowed. We must fight, not faint. Remember that no man is defeated until he himself admits defeat. Don't admit defeat! STUMPED. Blue Mountain Eagle. CONGRESS is stumped. It has made an open and pathetic con fession that the great economic problems that confront a stagnant business world are too big for them. They are stumped. And so, since December 5th they have done noth ing, thought of nothing, and talked of nothing but beer. Its awful. Whether 12 million idle men shall continue to eat from the hand of charity does not concern them, for that is too big a problem for them, and so they confine their legisla tive hocus-pocus to beer. This beer is to enrich a handful of German brewers and to add insult to injury, we now have before congress a strong delegation of French wine makers insisting that the Volstead act be modified so that France can ship her high wines to America. France, mind you, in default of war debts to the United States, wants us to repeal our laws, so that she can ship wines to us. What a set up. But booze don t give a "damn for nuthin' " and never did and never will. The American people are now being asked to modify the Volstead act so that France can flood the country with French wines. It is a fact that French wine producers are all ready for the invasion. If that ain't rubbing it into the American, then our sense of the ridiculous is warped. W. C. T. U. NOTES MART A. NOTSON. Reporter. "The total blackmail ran into mil lions of dollars. New York was a wide open town. The big bosses rolled in wealth, and the corrupt policemen who ran the force lost all sense of decency and justice. Nevertheless I wish to insist on the fact that the honest men on the patrol posts, 'the men with the night sticks,' remained desirous to see honesty obtain, although they were losing courage and hope. "This was the situation that con fronted me when I came to Mul berry Street. The saloon was the chief source of mischief. It was with the saloon that I had to deal and there was only one way to deal with it. That was to enforce the law. The howl that rose was deaf ening. The professional politicians raved! The yellow press surpassed themselves in clamor and mendac ity. A favorite assertion was that I was enforcing a "blue law,' an ob solete law that never had been en forced. As a matter of fact, I was only enforcing honestly a law that had hitherto been enforced dishon estly. There was very little increase in the number of arrests made for violating the Sunday law. Indeed, there were weeks when the number of arrests went down. The imme diate effect was wholly good. "I had been told that it was not possible to close the saloons on Sun- tTaSsj.a-rS that I could not succeed. However, I succeed. The war den of Bellevue Hospital reported two or three weeks after we had begun, that for the first time in its existence there had not been a case due to a drunken brawl in the hos pital all Monday. The police courts gave the same testimony, while savings banks reported increased deposits and pawnshops hard times, The most touching .of all things was the fact that we received et ters, literally by the hundreds, from mothers in tenement houses who had never been allowed to take their children to the country in the wide open days, and now found their husbands willing to take them and their families for an outing on Sundays. Jake Riis and I spent one Sunday from morning till night in the tenement district, seeing for ourselves what happened. "Moreover, all kinds of ways of evading the law were tried, and some of them were successful. The Statute, for instance, permitted any man to take liquor with his meals. After two or three months a mag istrate was found who decided ju dicially that seventeen beers and one pretzel made a meal after which decision joy again became unconfined in at least some of the saloons, and the yellow press glee fullly announced that my "tyran ny" had been curbed. But my prime object, that of, stopping blackmail, was largely attained. "Reopening of the saloons imm - diately followed. The hospitals and police courts again had their usual quota; retail and wholesale busi ness and savings banks deposits slumped to normal and the new comforts and plesures of tenement mothers and children were butch ered to make a booze holiday." From the autobiography of Theo dore Roosevelt, who was police commissioner of New York City irom 1890 to 1897. It is often asserted that there was no "racketeering" in the pre-prohl-bition days. It is only a question of terms. Roosevelt called it "black mail." He stated that the total ran into millions of dollars Hokey Funny, you say you write ror magazines, yet I have never seen your name mentioned. Pokey Oh, I always sign 'em Anonymous."

Son No, I ain't, Pop; I got 'em in me pocket, " And a Happy New Year"" 1 Italy rich in work I have just got hack from a rapid but rather comprehensive tour of Italy. By railroad, automobile and airplane I covered pretty nearly that entire peninsula, and saw for myself the results of ten years of Mussolini. Italy today is the least depressed nation in the world. Everybody is at work; out of a population of 42,- 000,000, I was told, there are less than a million unemployed, includ ing the aged and invalids. The whole nation is thoroughly organ ized and a new spirit of national pride and cooperation has been de veloped. The Italian people give every evl dence of being the happiest people anywhere in the world today. Meas ured in Dollars, they don't handle much money, but measured in terms of food, clothing and com fort, their workers are better off, on the whole, than those of any oth er nation. Housing . in Italian cities One of the biggest things the Italian government has done is to improve housing conditions for workers in the cities. In Milan, which is the New York of Italy, the industrial and financial center and the largest city, I saw literally thou sands of new apartments houses, built by private capital with gov ernment aid, modern and sanitary in every respect, where workers can rent four-room apartments for $3 a month. On the outskirts of Rome, along the famous Appian Way and just over the caves known as the catacombs, where the bones of mil lions of Christian martyrs lie, I saw where the government had provid ed housing for sixty thousand work ers who were moved from the slums of the old city, which have been torn down and made into parks or new highways. The same thing is going on In many other Italian cities; and ev ery one of these housing develop ments has as its central feature a new and modern school house, with playgrounds and parks around it, The next generation of Italians will be better educated than its parents were. Farming .... every acre One reason why Italy has suffer ed less from the depression than other nations is that 55 percent of its population lives on the land. There is hardly a square inch of land in Italy that is not under cul tivation. Even the mountain sides of the Appenines and the Maritime Alps are terraced, in tiny tracts, as high as vegetation will grow. Perhaps the biggest thing which the Fascist eovernment hoi iin.t- taken is the reclaiming of all the waste ianas. i saw tne great dram age works which have reclaimed the swamps along the Adriatic, laid out In small holdings. Here again private capital and the govern ment cooperated, the reclaimed land is sown to crops, stocked with cattle, sheep and poultry, each with Its modern farm-house and out buildings, and sold on easy terms to new farmers, while the National In stitute of Agriculture, organized much like the American system of county agents, tlves 1 nfpnaivA as sistance in helping the people get a living irom tne land. Wheat and tobacco Italy has set out to grow all of Its own wheat, both the durum variety used for making macaroni, and soft ' i wheat for bread. Ten years ago Italy was Import ing five-sixths of its wheat. Today it is growing five-sixths of its own wheat. This is a result of what Mussolini has dramatically named the "Battaglia del' Grano," the Bat tle of Grain. This is something for American wheat growers to think about. One of our big export markets, which formerly took millions of bushels of grain annually, is no longer a mar ket for the United States wheat grower. Something of the same sort is happening with tobacco. In Italy the government is the only manu facturer of cigars and cigarettes. It used to Import tobacco, mainly from America. Now in the South ern part of the peninsula and in the African colonies Italy is growing five-sixths of its own tobacco. Discipline . honest dealing All Italy is regimented. Every business, industry and occupation is organized. The Italian Parliament is composed of members elected by 400 trade, industrial or agricultural groups; they do not represent dis tricts, they represent occupations. These occupational guilds of syn dicates have absolute freedom to combine in any enterprise that is for the public welfare. So has every individual the right to make as much money as he can, provided he does it honestly. But there is plenty of governmental supervision to see that the public Interest is served. A number of persons who were not satisfied to do business honest ly, but persisted in dishonest meth ods, were summarily removed by the fascist organization. Mussolini's government is ex tremely practical in its methods. JOHN JOSEPH 6AINESjM.D The Doctor's Problem Nobody knows more the effects of a national depression than the family doctor. He gets the full force of it. His customers fall down In their ability to meet his moder ate charges; his own table and wardrobe dwindle. Even his sav ings depart, as mine have. But he does not complain of misfortune to himself he sees future effects of famine on those he serves and gives his life. The Ill-nourished children and mothers of today will be the weaklings of tomorrow of next year and the next! The real results of the "depression" have not yet commenced. The very well-to-do will not suf fer. But there are so many of the thousands who are not In that zone; and, these for the most part, fall under the care of the faithful fam ily doctor. I, myself, see children all about me, that will never attain the state of vigorous manhood and woman hood because of this awful depres sion, if you are content to dismiss it with such a benign name What to do? Well, here is an In stance where I must answer, "I don't know." Relief from this thing cannot come in a day nor in a year nor two years, In all prob ability. The fangs of the thing have penetrated our very nation's heart. It is the great mass of "common people" that constitutes our America. Without them our land would perish from the very weight of its gold! There Is no more helpless body than that of what Is termed the "Idle rich." We must educate. It semes to me, the World War was a most ef fectual lesson to establish peace. Nobody but an Inhuman devil could lay plans for future war I base my statements on the lesson learn ed from the last outbreak of hell. We must educate. -By Albert T. Reid tfldim - you'll have to get up -This is a.s Far as 5 Pwl .j Bruce Barton writes of "The Master Executive" Supplying a week-to-week Inspiration for the heavy-burdened who will find every human trial paralleled In the ex periences of "The Man Nobody Knows" A Man, Sure of Himself Jesus grew tremendously sure of himself as his ministry progressed No passages in all literature are more scathing than his denuncia tion of the cheerless, self-righteous Pharisee All achieving characters have a sublime disregard of criticism "Never explain! never retract; nev er apologize; get it done and let them howl,' was the motto of a great Englishman. It might well have been the motto of Jesus. "No man can expect to accomplish any thing if he stands in terror of pub lic opinion," he said in substance. "People will talk against you no matter how you live or what you do. Look at John the Baptist He came neither eating nor drinking and they said he had a devil. come both eating and drinking, and what do they call me? A wine bib ber and a gluttonous man!" He must have told it as a joke on himself and on John, though the Gospels do not say so. Indeed we must often wonder how much of his humor has been lost to us by the literal mmdedness of his chron iclers. How about that incident, for ex ample, at the pool of Bethesda? Hundreds of sick people were left along the edges to wait for the mo ment when the waters would be stirred by the visit of an angel from Heaven; whoever managed to get into the water first, after the stirring, was healed. I Passing by it one afternoon Jesus heard the whining voice of an old fellow who had been lying there for thirty-eight years. Every time the pool stirred, he made a half-heart ed effort to jump in, but there was always some one with more deter mination, or more helpful friends, He was bemoaning it on this day when Jesus stooped and looked at him with a whimsical smile. "Wilt thou be made whole?" Je sus demanded. The old man was Instantly resentful. What an ab surd question! Of course he want ed to be made whole! The smile on the face of Jesus broadened. He knew better. En joying poor health was the old fel low's profession. Nobody had as many pains as he. His was the only original hard luck story. He had been there for thirty-eight years. The keen eyes of Jesus saw deep into the souls of men. There was a twinkle In them now: "Get up," he said briskly, "and walk." The old chap spluttered and grumbled, but there was no resist ing the command of that pres ence. He rose, discovered to his own amazement that he could stand, rolled up his bed and moved off, A reverent hush fell on the as sembled crowd, and before they could find their voices Jesus, too, was gone. The disciples were too deeply impressed for comment; they dropped tack a respectful dis tance and Jesus walked on alone. Suppose they had followed clos er? Wouldn't their ears have been startled by something suspiciously like a chuckle? , . , Next Week: Work, the Evidence.
