Barring any catastrophe that may come unheralded, Bnbson’s predictions wlll'''^ average nearly right; at least, that is our prediction. Here is how Babson sums up 1936 in advance: Business—Ten per cent gain for year. Elections—No obstacle to recovery. Building—Beginning of bown. Labor—^More “Help Wanted” signs and ads. StocTcs—Bull market not over. Farm Prices—Spotty but total income higher. Real Estate—Active j-ear—rents high er. Federal Budget—Two billion-dollar def icit. Bonds—High-grades at ceiling. Retail Trade—Best in five years. Advertising—Most profitable in years. Living Costs—Mild rise with food bills down. Summary—Prosperity by 1937. Commenting on the predictions of Mi\ Babson, the Winston-Salem Journal ays: “Very rosy picture painted by a skill ful artist, who, although he makes an oc casional slip-up, usually reads the signs aright. As a forecaster of business con ditions over a long period of years, Mr. Babson probably has the highest batting average in his league. “Coming from him such a bright picture cannot be considered as being in any sense political propaganda. It constitutes a set of conclusions drawn from close analyses of conditions which now exist in the sev eral fields of business, commerce and in dustry, and the final summary is drawn from those conclusions.” Although Babson is only human and can be as far wrong as anybody, his past record of telling how conditions w-iil be is inspiring and the rosy picture he paints for 19.36 should lead to greater confi dence.

Brown’s statement before a national convention of life insursmee presidents in New York. He estimates that there will be 34,000 fewer deaths this year than last. Contrary to the usual trend, deaths from heart disease, cancer, Bright’s disease, ceberal hemorrhage and some other maladies have decreased, vdiile “tuberculosis continues to de crease, as has been the case for several years. Of major causes of death, only influenza shows an increase. Deaths from external causes are fewer, and those from automobile accidents are expected to show a slight decrease from the tragic record of 1934. when more than 36,000 were killed.

Under the gene.-.-il title, "Jesus Meeting Human Needs,’’ wc sliall .study whah has been aptly called the niosl beautiful book in the world. Luke’s gospel, the longest of the four, gives the most comprehensive picture of the Master we have. Note first that it is the work of an educated man. Luke was a practiced writer, with the richest vocabulary of any of the evan gelists. 'Then, too, it is worth while recalling that the picture Luke draws is similar to that of his friend and fellow-traveler, Paul. We can agree with Tertullian that Paul was the illuminator of Jbuke. This explains the univ^fsal note in Luke’s message. Luke with Paul, believed that the gospel was meant for the Gentiles as well as for the Jews. But perhaps the most appealing feature of this third gospel is its magnificent compassion for the poor and wretched. Here the humanity of Jesus appears to wonderful advantage. Luke alone records the parables of the Great Supper. Dives and Lazarus, the Prodigal Son, the Good Samaritan, and the Pharisee and the Publican. And he only tells the story of the penitent thief who hung beside the dying Master. Jesus came, according to Luke, on a mission of grace. His purpose was “to seek and to save that which was lost’’ Luke was a big-hearted physician, with a generous soul, and so naturally stresses the sympathy of the Master for the under privileged. Thus Luke’s picture emphasizes the tender ness of Jesus. Dante said, long ago, that Luke describes most fully “the meekness and gentle ness of Christ” 'These qualities were fully pres ent in Mary, the sweet mother -of the Lord, whose famous song, “The Magmfitfat” to our lea*; rea text ^iSead- it for ita beauty, tntb aai. How well it somanytoes nutuftliBC «f the got»A WORKERS who rise Few wage-earners work as hard as their bosses do. That is my considered belief, based on many years of experience and ob servation. I have seen so many wage-earners rise through the ranks to high executive posts that I began, years ago, to ask how they gained advancement. In every case the answer was to the general effect that they always did a little more than they were paid for, liked their Jobs and regarded the company’s in terests as their own. While most of them did not say so, it was al ways clear that these men who started life as manual workers had higher intelligence and bet ter control of their appetites than their fellow-workers. And they had ambition. There isn’t any other route by which men rise to the high places' in our indu.strial system, but the route of hard work plus intelli-1 gence, plus ambition. And they don’t stay long in the high piac- | cs unless they also have the priceless element_of^Jiarqjtejv — the guage I talked not long ago with a friend, who heads a great nation wide corporation, about wages. ] iWhat we try to do is to put! evfry dollar that it is possible to put into every employee’s pay-, envelope,” he said. I know that is true of most great business concerns, in spite of the belief which many workers have that the effort is always to pay them as little as possible. The man who is content to do as little as he has to, to get by, is usually the one 'who grumbles' about his wages. But the Nation- j al Industrial Conference Board, reported the other day on 2.400 , business eetabllshments, employ-1 ing 4 1- million workers, all of j which offer their employees op portunities to earn 'higher wages, j More than half of them pay on the basis of work done—so much for each item turned out. That makes it worth while for the ^ worker to be industrious. A third of these companies have prem- Ijiums and bonus payment systems; fmany are on a profit-sharing basis. The biggei the concern, the more it is interested in putting as much into every worker’s pay- envelope as possible. civilized world, outside of>, Rds- sia, is there anything but the capitalistic system. For Instance, every farmer is a capitalist. So is every storei keeper, every man who owns bis own barber-ship, garage or-any other kind of "service" business. You are a capitalist If you have a savings bank deposit or a life insurance policy. ’Those two lat ter classes taken in nearly half of all the people in the country. Where does the capital come from to finance big enterprises? Mainly from you and me. Our money, paid In to the savings banks and the life Insurance com panies, makes a big pool of mon ey which goes Into the bonds and shares of all sorts of money-mak ing enterprises. I shudder to think what would happen to all of us if the capital ist system were suddenly abolish ed. preached at Mt. Olive. Mr. E. J.
