Honolulu.—Under the leadership of
Governor Raymond C. 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.”

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

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

"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

feet were mashed to a pulp, his ribs
crushed, and hts face was almost un

sensibility he was found the next
morning by the other American*.
