Brown, the Is land of Hawaii has decided to act as a Good Samaritan In Bible Lands by sending a donation of 525,000 for the Greek refugees through Near Ea*t Relief. A proclamation issued by Gov. Brown says: “America’s work in the Near East is a symbol, not of the political and commercial America, but of the Idealistic and humanitarian America. Weighed In the scales of the future, this Is the America of which we and our children shall be proud. Every person In Hawaii should be proud to have some part in It.” Earlieat Account» o f Trade Am ong Nation» From the time that men began te live in cities, trade, la some shape, must have been carried on to supply the town-dwellers with necessaries; but it is also clear that International trade must have existed, and affect ed to some extent even the pastoral nomadic races, for we And that Abra ham was rich, not only In cattle, bnt Iti silver, gold, and gold and silver plate and ornaments (Gen. 13:2; 24:22. 53). Among trading nations mentioned In Scripture, Egypt holds In very early times a prominent posi tion, though her external trade was carried on, not by 'her own citizens, but by foreigners—chiefly of the no madic races. The Internal trade of the Jews, as well as the external, was much promoted, as was the case also In Egypt, by the festivals, which brought large numbers of persons to Jerusalem, and caused great outlay In victims for sacrifice and In Incense (I Kings 8:03). The places of public market were, then as now, chiefly the open spaces near the gates, to which goods were brought for sale by those who came from the outside (Neh. 13:15, 10; Zech. 1:10). The traders In later times were allowed to Intrude Into the temple, in the outer courts of which victims were publicly sold for the sacrifices. (Zech. 14:21; M att 21:12: John 2:14).

THURBER "All I ask of the American people Is that they will send me right back Into the midst of It all again. I want to be out in Greece taking the motherless children out of the leaky, desolate camps and placing them In homes of comfort," says Christopher C. Thurber, who is spending the early weeks of December In Oregon and Washington as speaker for Golden Rule Sunday, December 7th. During his five years In Turkey, Thurber lived through more exper iences than would come to the average person In as many lifp-times. He was Imprisoned by the Turks for four months because he would not pay his Income tax— a tax larger than his whole income. One night, while alone In his office I he was suddenly summoned to the ! Turkish headquarters, where without I ceremony or explanation, ho was beat en Iqto insensibility.
