Jesus on the Cross.
Lesson for June 10. Matthew 27.
. Golden Text: Hebrews 12:2.
Some feel it is morbid to empha,
size the Cross, that it is more
, wholesome to stress the life of Jesus
, than His death, His happiness than
His sorrow, His teachings rather
. than His sacrifice. But there is
nothing undesirable in facing the
t Cross soberly ^ without mawkish
. tears. At once we are impressed by
its protest, its searching rebuke cf
i our godless society. In the light of
the crucifixion we note the black.
ness of the human heart.
; The Cross, too, is a supreme revelation
of suffering. We think of
I Jesus hanging helplessly in un.
speakable pain, the horrors of
i which we can only faintly imagine,
. enduring a shame so desolating that
it is no wonder He felt God had
forsaken Him.
Now there is comfort in our Master's
pain. In the midst of their own
agony men have discovered in
Christ a consoling Fellow-Sufferer.
The plain truth is that the Cross is
"the typical and representative
3 agony of the world," as one novelist
says of it. In the Louvre there is a
; striking painting of Jesus on the
, Cross, at the foot of which the ar.
tist has placed a desolate figure,

veiled in darkness, looking up at
the inscription, "He himself has
endured great sufferings."
Note, too, the complete submission
of Jesus. This is well voiced by
Katherine Mansfield, a victim cf
tuberculosis, who wrote in her
Journal: "One must submit. Take
it. Be overwhelmed. Accept it fully."
But we rightly think of the Cross
as an expression of victory.
Miss Mansfield says elsewhere,
Jo not want to die without leaving
a record of my belief that suffering
can be overcome." Exactly!
Suffering can be defeated. In one
sense, the Cross marks the greatest
failure in history, for the Mas;er
hangs there defeated and broken.
But in a higher sense the Cross
s history's greatest success. For the
Lxjrd of glory reigns there as King!

HE WARREN RECOB
Today and
Tomorrow
By Frank Parker Stockbridga
L *
CAPITALISM .... defined
People speak of capitalism as if it
were some sort of an organized
plan imposed upon people unable
to help themselves. Capitalism is
merely a name naturally out of
mankind's ability to produce a surplus
wealth beyond immediate
needs. Capital is nothing but wealth
not required lor productive use ai
the moment. Every man who has a
dollar in a savings bank and does
not need it is as much a capitalist
as a millionaire is.
Capital is destroyed only wheni
it is consumed by individuals. It is
not lost when it is invested in permanent
things, like buildings and
railroads. The individuals who invested
may lose, but the building
remains. The outcroy against capitalism
is not really aimed at the
system, which is the only system
under which real wealth ever accumulates,
but against individuals who
divert too high a proportion of thentemporary
share of the world's ?apital
to non-social uses.
SOCIALISM .... State owned
Stripped of all of its sophomoric
entanglements, the essence of Socialism
is not the abolition of capital,
but the ownership of all capital
by the State. The tendency in
that direction has been growing
stronger for more than a hundred
years. Private capital used to build
and operate highways and bridges,
charging toll for every traveller c,r
vehicle that used them. Long ago
those enterprises became investments
of public capital.
Agriculture, fishing, mining and
manufacturing are still in the hands
of private capital. The complete
Socialist program would make all
of those functions of the State.
REGULATION ... U. S. aim
What we seem to be heading for
in America is a compromise between
uncontrolled private Capitalism
and complete Socialism. The
compromise is the continuance of
private Capitalism under State regulation.
We have had that in the
case of railroads for fifty years. It
seems to be close at hand in the
matter of telegraph, telephone and
radio communications.
At the same time, there is an increasing
tendency to apply State
capital to long term enterprises
which do not promise a direct return
in dividends, but which are
presumably justified by their social i
value. This includes such things as
. . . I
parks, many classes or nignways,
public buildings, and semilar enterprises.
Private Capital is not interested
in these non-productive ven-|
tures.
TAXATION ... it is distributed
Since capital is merely the surplus
product of labor above what
labor received, the question whether
that surplus belongs to the employer
or to the labor which produced
it is a vexed question that, in
its turn, is the subject of continuous
compromises, out of each of
which labor igets a proportionately
larger share.
Since public capital is exactly like
private capital?that is, the surplus
of wealth above what is consumed
in the course of its production?it
follows that the larger the share of
capital accruing to labor, the larger
the share of taxation must be borne
by labor. There is no such thing as
taxing capital out of existence. Individual
capitalists may be taxed
into poverty, but that is merely the
conversion or private eapiwu mw
public capital.
The only way capital is destroyed
is by wasting it. Private individuals
waste it by spending it on unproductive
luxuries, great estates,
yachts, in other ways that serve no
legitimate need but are merely ostentation.
Government wastes it by
giving it away in return for little
or no productive labor, and by letting
political grafters steal it as it
passes through their hands.
HISTORY 1645 ruling
The first effort to regulate the
use of private capital in this country
is set down in the Proceedings
of the General Court of Plymouth
Colony for the year 1645. John
Stockbridge of Scituate, who was

jij^ IFarre
my earliest American ancestor, was
brought before the court and
charged with being a monopolist, in
that he owned all the water-pc wers
in the colony and had put only one
of them to use, with his grist mill.
He was ordered to either build mills
on IJie unused waterpowers or sell
them to someone who would. He
built a sawmill on one site, and
sold the other to his son-in-law.
It has always seemed to me that
a sound principle was established
there. Private capital might justly
be required to go to work for some
social purpose, such as building a
sawmill. In a perfect social system
it would not be permissible for its
owner to withhold more of its bene- I
fits than sufficient to maintain
himself and his family in reasonable
comfort.
Such a rule would be absurd,
however, even wicked, in a political
system riddled with inefficiency
and honeycombed with graft. Private
capital and its owners, at the
worst, are far more honest and far
morei careful of the uses they put
their capital to than any government
I know of.
Poor Soil Improved
In Union County
The value of soil-building crops
in tbe rehabilitation of infertile
lands has been demonstrated on
three Union county farms recently
visited by a group of 60 farmers of
the county.
In the southwestern part of the
county, a farm owned by Eugene
Ashcraft has been built up by
vetch, kudzu, and lespedeza since
he took charge of the place in
1930. One 12-acre field of vetch, examined
by the group has reseeded
itself since it was sown in 19331. At
present, the vetch stands over two
feet high and is thick and succulent.
The vetch is mown for seed every
year, with a yield of about four
bushels to the acre. A dense growth
of voluntary lespedeza has been
thriving under the vetch. Another
field has a lush growth of vetch
and kudzu started in 1931. In 1933
three cuttings of hay were taken.
The first was mainly vetch, while
the last two cuttings yielded all'
kudzu. A total of five tons of hay
was harvested. Ashcrafthope:; to
get kudzu all over the 400-acre
farm, to be used chiefly as hay.
The V. V. Secrest farm was also
badly run down a few years ago.
But the soil has been built up with

Reel Hart, No. 2 wheat, which is

acre.
