THURSDAY, JAN. 5, 1939 It’s Getting Warmer Just now, *while all of Europe is experi encing the coldest Winter in 80 years, it is cheerful news whidh scientists jbring us that the tvorld is actually getting warmer. Many of us have suspected that for a long time. Who has not heard his grand father or some elderly person remark that “Winters ain’t like they used to be when was a boy”. It was the fashion for a long time to dis miss such reminiscences with the pfhilo- sophical comment. But now that research into changes in the climate has become more scientific, the men who study such things are beginning to agree that in the northern hemisphere, at least, the climate is getting warmer. The records of the United States Weath er Bureau run back only to 187t, but local records have been kept for more than a hundred years in numerous cities. Recent studies of such records show ^hat Boston now has the kind of winters that Baltimore had a century ago. The Winter of 1837-38 used to be spok en of by old New Englanders as “eighteen- hundred and-froze-to-death ’. Tempera tures got so low that the moisture remain ing on the trees froze and burst the tree- trunks with a noise like musket fire all ov er the woodlands. It is not likely that there will ever be an other Winter so severe as that. And it is not likely that anyone now living will pick strawberries in January on the shores of Hudson’s Bay. But there is evidence that before the last Ice Age, out of which the earth is st;ll slowly emerging, tropical vegetation grew in Greenland, and we may be coming back *0 that. This week the national congnm a^ the state legislature met for transaction business and the regular'task of making and shaping the laws of the nation and state . The general opinion among people who desire to see the good things of America kept intact is that they want little action out of congress. They are sincerely hop ing that congress will accomplish very lit tle in the way of new laws and go home shortly. Aside from revision of a few laws which have been found to be more or less of a handicap to business and progress, con gress needs to do but little. There are several things which need a general shake-^ up and downward revision, including thei budget and so-called emergency expend!-j tures but no drastic laws with “reform” la-[ bels appear to be in demand. In North Carolina the state legislature should revise and repeal a few laws, pass budget appropriations as low as is con sistent with progress, a revenue bill to meet such a budget, and return home as soon as possible. Of course, these are not brilliant recom mendations, but they speak the sentiment which could be found by “sampling” the voters of the state and nation. On the other hand, numerous minorities will press congress for all kinds of laws and these minorities will have many votes. It is high time, however, that congress quit giving groups something for nothing at the expense of everybody else.

ACHIEVEMENT TALKS By LUCIUB HUMPHREY Author #f “It Shall Bfc Doae U»to You” Some Cheering Statistics We’re getting richer. That is the gist of the report just issued by the DepartiQent •f Commerce on the incomes of the Amer ican people. We haven’t got back to where we were in 1929, when the average income of every American, man, woman and child, was $668, but for the year 1937 the average income was $540, which is a good deal better than the $494 of 1936. Statistics are boring, and often mislead- i«g, but is is interesting to learn that the total national indome for 1937 was more than 63 billion dollars, ten per cent higher than in 1936, but still a long way belov the 1929 record of over 81 billions. A billion is such a big figure that t' doesn’t mean much to most folks. It i- easier to understand if you think of a thousand towns with a thousand people in each town and every one of them havirg a thousand chickens. That would make ^ billion chickens. One of the heartening things about the Department of Commerce report on in comes is that in 1937 the people of thi.s country' earned more than they spent. Not the government, but the people then selves. We accumulated a surplus in the shape of savings bank deposits and business re serves. Another interesting fact hidden in -the long string of figures is that more than two-thirds of all the money spent by ev erybody in the whole nation in 1937 went for salaries and wages, which is an n- crease over previous years. There is so much talk on all sides about Hie trouble so^many folks have in making both ends meet that many of us seem to have been bitten by the “poverty bug”. ..Such figures as those cited should make us all feel more cheerful.

C.y Pledmottt. “K thou eanst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” (St. Mark 9:23) When we ask or pray it is proof that we realize .the lack of something which can not be supplied by the ideas that are being produced in our mind of the moment. Our Habitual Mind is insufficient in its unaided j)ower to give us the required ideas. Heiise a.sking is necessary. Whatever we ask occupies at first a def- ’iiite space in the mental realm, and im mediately begins to associate itself with other 'objects in the mind and also with objects and events in the material realm. In other words, it begins to relate itself to things seen and unseen and to make a place for itself in our lives. The intellect operates with conscious mental objects or images. To ask, decree, affirm and pray, as well as to deny and re fuse, are all activities of desire which for mulate these mental objects and images. Asking, decreeing and praying intelli gently fo.mulate positive images in oppo sition to all negative images. In asking we act upon ourselves under the influence of the consciousness of a void to be filled or a negative to be overcome. Thus it is that our void and negativeness are the means of causing us to direct Crea tive Energy into positive constructive chan nels, thereby overcoming all that is nega tive in our lives. All the material forms in the material world were first immaterial form, created in the mind and carried forward by Creat ive Energy, energy manifested in creative laws. As this Creative Principle manifests itself in both the material and the spiritual we can, by just a little study and analysis, find a method consciously to use the laws operating in both of these realms for the fulfillment of greater desires. Intelligent asking and intelligent believ ing unite the Habitual Mind, the Christ Mind and the God Mind in you. The Habitual Mind is your personal, ac cumulated consciousness, limited in its con ceptions to past experiences and to the world around you. The God Mind is your individual share in, and your point of con tact with, that Divine Intelligence which has created the universe. The mind which recognizes not only the existence of laws that create the experi ence of the moment, but also the still infin ite possibilities hidden in the God Mind, is the Christ Mind in you. By learning to think as this Christ Mind thinks, with per fect faith and without fear, rejecting the fears, doubts and limitations of the Habit ual Mind, anyone can consciously create all of the conditions of his own life. . ■ \ ri M A n - Baptist Church Gives Program!
