Going To Church
?■: The “Go To Church” organization
Yormed here some time ago is unique
imd is destined to show its results. It
' has as its underlying aim and purpose
the advancement of ‘ Christianity and
the immediate aim is to promote inter
est in church work through increased
. attendance.
, Nothing is better for a church than
good attendance and the attendance is
governed by the interest people show
in church activities. The “Go To
Church” movement is undenomination-
' al, as it should be. It has become uni-
*sVersaHy recognized that Christian peo
ple of all churches must work in har
mony if Cluastianity is to continue and
spread its uplifting influence. Denomi
nations and individual churches arc
merely units of the Great Church and
must so operate because there is no
room for selfishness in the program in
augurated by the Prince Of Peace.
' Such a movement as has been start
ed in this city has the right objectives
and only needs effort to make it grow
ing into a recognized success. It can do
much toward educating people to the
tremenduous and eternal importance of
churches in our realm of civilization.
Despite all the “advanc^ent of
science and industry Christianity is and
always will be an essential to civiliza-
tkm and a decent society. A comparison
of Christian and un-Christian nations
from earliest history to th^ present day
will bear out this contention.
A Praineworthy Project
From what we have read and heard
about the President’s “Youth Project”
it seems to have much to commend it.
Hr. Roosevelt has set aside $50,000,000
out of his Work Relief Fund to help
young people between the ages of 16
and 25. The announced objectives are:
1. To find employment in private in
dustry for unemployed youth.
2. To train and retrain young people
for industrial- technical and profession
al employment opportunities.
3. To provide for continuing attend
ance at high school and college.
4. To provide work relief upon .pro
jects designed to meet the needs of
youth.
Whether or not this project succeeds
in its announced objectives, it is at
least a commendable attempt. Its suc
cess or failure will depend upon a greab
many factors, but particularly upon the
Intelligence and ability with which it is
administered. It would be very easy for
it to become merely another dole. Many
are of the opinion that there are too
many doles and too many people draw
ing money without jriving anything in
return, as matters stand now.
This “Youth Project,” as we under
stand it, has for its main purpose the
assistance of young people to develop
qualities of mind and character. No
such development is possible unless the
recipient of the benefits gives as much
as he or she takes.
We can imagine no greater disservice
to young people in their formative
dotage of life than to encourage them in
the’ idea that the world owes them a
living, or that there is nothing shame-
'^■’ful in taking money without giving ade-
' quate return for it.
The new “Youth Project,” unde?
^hly skilled administration, might be
come the greatest character-building
ever undertaken. But it al-

This is vacation season but if you

The average daily attendance for
last year was around 2,000 less than
the enrollment. No doubt many were
kept away from school for good and
sound reasons but the best cannot be
obtained from school without regular
attendance. The child who is at school
every day almost invariably makes a
good record and learns the lesson of re
liability and dependability that will
help later on.

NAOMI
Lesson for July 14th. Ruth 1:14—22.
Golden Text: Proverbs 31:30.
Naomi lived with her husband and two sons
in Bethlehem-Judah, from wherq they were
driven by famine into Moab. Here, however,
they met a worse enemy than famine, namely
death, which robbed Naomi not only of her
yokemate, but of her two boys as well.
Ret’jrning then in sorrow, with Ruth, her
daughter-in-law, to her former home at Beth
lehem, she was received with astonished sur
prise by her old friends. “Is this Naomi?” they
cried, scarcely recognizing her because of her
changed appearance. “Call me not Naorai (that
is, ‘My delight’)” she replied, plunged in grief,
“but call me Mara (or ‘Bitter’); for the Al
mighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.”
We are impressed by the Brave, large-heart
ed way in which Naomi faced the stng of ad
versity. Although her dearest were snatched
from her, she still had Ruth, whom she loved
tenderly, and about whom she built fond hopes.
“Her heart,” says Dr. Stalker, “was still capable
of sending out new blossoms.”
That she was a woman of unusual attrac
tiveness is proven by the affection she Inspired
in her two daughters-ln-law. They were aliens,
and it must have been difficult for Naomi to
adjust herself to their habit of mind and mode
of life. She won their devotion.
And how tactful it was of her to suggest to
Ruth and Orpah that they return to their own
homes rather than continue their journey to
ward Judah. Of course she wanted them to re
main with her, -but she realized full well how
hard it would he for them to begin life anew
in a strange land.
Best of all, Naomi was thoroughly religious.
All through the‘sad years of her exile in
Moab she remained true to her Ood, and ac-
L Copied the first opportunity of returning to

has a good deal that commends
it in principle to those who are
impressed with the Importance of
finding new sources of Federal
Revenue. Some new tax plan
must be exolved if the Federal
Budget is ever going to he bal
anced. But there is great doubt
in the minds of some statesman
like members of both Houses as
to whether the Presidential pro-
j e c t could actually produce
enough new revenues to make
any appreciable dent in the defi
cit.
A wide-spread, thorough and
carefully considered revltlon of
all of the Income, estate, gift and
inheritance taxes would have
support not only from practical
ly all of the D-nnocratic mem
bers but from a large percentage
of the Republican members as
well.
Senator Vandenberg of Michi
gan, who is still regarded as one
of the most likely prospects for
the Republican Party nomination
next year, has declared himself
in favor of a complete income tax
revision, but one set up on a
much broader base than the pres
ent law. Instead of trying to get
all the additional revenue from
the few very wealthy. Senator
Vandenberg would carry the In
come tax much farther down the
line than the schedules now go.
The strongest indication that
the entire democratic represen
tation is not in complete accord'^
with the President, even though
it obeys orders fairly well, was
given when the House voted
down the “death sentence” for
public utility holding companies,
in the face of the strongest pres
sure b y the Administration's
spokesmen that has yet been
exerted.
See 1036 Issues Forming
The issues on which next
year’s Presidential election will
be contested are becoming more
sharply defined from week to
week. It is generally accepted
here in Washington that the Ad
ministration is moving deliber
ately towaid building up public
sentiment in favor of more or
less revision of the Constitution.
This belief is based upon the Ad-
-ministration’9 insistence upon
the enactment of laws which are
almost unanimously regarded as
nnconstitutional, such as {he
Wlagner Labor Disputes Act and
the Guffey -Soft 'Coal Regulation
Bill.
Somebody blundered ' in the
Soft Co&I situation. The coal
miners bad agreed to postpone
their threatened strike -dntil July
1, In exchange for an agreement
by the President that he would
push the Guffey Bill through.
It was not until Friday night,
June 38, that the President
learned that the coal strike would
be called at midnight Sunday
