HIGH STANDARD FOR THE FEW The people at the United States, we suspect, desire reasonable pros perity and would willingly adopt the methods that seem certain to sua stain it Consequently, we have been inter ested in economic problems connect ed with national well-being. Natur ally, we have read much of the in dustrial production that "raised the American standards of living to a level which made those standards the envy of every other nations." The question in our minds has been whether that standard of living has been available to all the people of the United States rather than a proud possession of a favored group of in dustrial workers. Plainly, among our agricultural population no such standard has existed at any time, even in the periods of our vaunted national prosperity. FARM PROSPERITY NECESSARY There are many people in the Un ited States who, without knowing the facts, jump to the conclusion that because the income of agriculture has been increased by approximately eight per cent, in the past seven years, there is no necessity for fur ther steps to improve the financial condition of agriculture in this coun try. The basic fundamental fact in con nection with the farm problem is succinctly stated by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, who recently told the House Committee on Agri culture that while agriculture has approximately twenty-four per cent, of the population of this country and thirty-one per cent, of our children, it receives only about eleven per cent, of the national income Realization of the full import of these figures should convince anyone that the plight of agriculture repre sents a serious economic disorder in the United States hut that die social implications are fraught with more danger to the stability of the coun try. It is quite true that the prices for cotton, wheat, corn, hogs and other farm products have increased en couragingly from the low prices oi the depression, bat it should not b? forgotten that these prices have beer secured, in pert, by curtailed pro duction of the natinal farm plant Until farmers of the nation can se cure fair prices for the full productive capacity of American agriculture, the farm problem will continue to plagui the nation. at mdm. there are sleek, well-fe< -7 ?

It is to be regretted how ever, that this is necessary, for those who have gone to the altars of the church and taken up them selves personal moral obligations, should become leaders in the cause of righteousness instead of becom ing a problem to the church. We are facing the problem today of keeping the church people from losing Christ This problem Is most serious in the lives of those who do not attend church wor ship. If we would be alive to Christ and His cause, it is impera tive that we attend the worship services of our church.
