From all eternity, Christ our Lord was one in power and glory with God the Father but there came the day when He laid aside His glory to step down among us here, to take human birth and live among us as the Sor. of Man. By many a miracle and kindly deed, He set forth the love of God the Father and at the end, climaxed it all by dying under our sins that we, through Him, might receive eter­ nal life. Crucified, dead and buried, He arose the third day and ascended back to glory to take His place at the right hand of the Father. There Stephen saw Him and there He stands to this day. God and Man He is, shed­ ding forth all love, compassion and Power. He was a Man of Sor­ rows and acquainted with grief and it is to Him that we raise our cry when the going is rough. Prove Christ for yourself— “Casting all your care upon Him for He careth for you.”—BIBLE. 1 Peter 5:7. Forsake your sins— Face about—Look on Christ, the God, dying under your sins— Name yourself cleared—Live the new life to the glory of God. the Father, leaning all your weight on Christ to see you through?

GUARANTEED YORK CONTRACTOR * BUILDER 108 A St. More and more the farmers of the nation are feeling that they are the administration’s step-chil­ dren—and that feeling is express­ ing itself forcefully in congress. Their sentiment goes back to the 1940 election. After the cam­ paign, President Roosevelt was told by the late Harry Hopkins, Judge Sam Rosenman, Leon Hen­ derson and other such advisers that the farmers “could not be de­ pended upon.” The Democrats lost the big middle western farm states—Minesota, Indiana, Kan­ sas, Michigan, and even Henry Wallace's home state of Iowa. Administration policy shaped it­ self more and more toward union labor and in particular the CIO. Early in his third term, Mr. Roosevelt broke definitely with the American Farm Bureau Federa­ tion and the National Grange. The only farm organization in good standing was the National Farm­ ers Union, which was and is very friendly to the CIO. Farmers Protest When price control came along, Mr. Roosevelt and his advisers showed definite alarm over rising farm prices, but very little con­ cern over rising wages. Very early, and over farmer protests, the administration began to use subsidies to hold down food costs. The farmers pointed out that con­ sumers were better able to pay a fair price for food than ever before, and that the subsidies were inflationary. The agriculturists contended, with bitterness and justice, that the real reasons for the subsidies were to placate labor while keep­ ing down wage demands. The subsidies, however, did not pre­ vent labor from asking, and re­ ceiving, in one form or another, a steady series of wage increases. The administration paid no at­ tention to the farmers’ complaints, and raised the amount of con­ sumer food subsidies to around $2,000,000,000 a year. Behind this feeling of the farm­ ers, now being expressed on Capi­ tol Hill, is the demise on the sen­ ate floor of the administration’s pet measure—the minimum wage bill. It explains the downfall of a great many of the administra­ tion’s CIO-approved projects. It probably will explain the defeat of a great many more in the fu­ ture.

The “timber beasts” and all of the old life that belonged to them passed in World War I. Many different groups claim credit for making the logger’s trade a re­ spectable and profitable one. The fact is, however, that no organi­ zation or individual was more than an agent for the inevitable change. The real cause was the sweep of the tide of Eastern ur­ ban civilization over the west. Transportation and finance had at last bound the west to the east. Small lumbering and log­ ging operations were being bought up by the big companies. The manufacture and marketing of lumber were reorganized along eqstern industrial lines. Vast me­ chanical developments occurred in both the mills and the woods. The degree of Logging Engineer was conferred on graduates of for­ estry schools. The bull of the woods who ruled by brawn gave way to the logging superintendent who was technically skilled. Me­ • chanics came to the woods.
