AN OLD FAKE
The Scrippg - Howard papers
l*« revived a hoary old fake about
unemployment insurance. It aaya
that the balance in the hands of
Unde Sam totals $8,400,000,000.
Then this bit of "Poison’* is drop
ped in:
“Trouble is that Uncle Sam has
npent the money, replacing it with
his bonds.”
Apparently the idea is to scare
t those who, looking into the future,
believe that some day they may be
• compelled to take advantage of un
employment benefits. As a matter
«f fact, there is no reason to be
alarmed. Uncle Sam is taking
good care of the unemployment in*
su ranee surplus. True, he has fa
rested it in government bonds. He
has done that because government
bonds happen to be the best invest
ment in the world.
If the time should come when
Uncle Sam can’t make good on
his bonds, unemployment insurance
would not be much good to Ameri
can workers, because the republic
would be shot to pieces.
That day is not in sight and
Uncle Sam has a big fund on hand
to relieve unemployment. Let’s
hope we never need it, but it’s nice
to know it’s there if we should need
it.—Exchange.

There is one *ui greatly condemn
ed ut the Bible, which you almoei
never hear preached againat It u
the tin ol flattery, and how target]
it if practiced these day* Some flat'
ter with no malictou* Intent rhet
desire popularity and want peopli
to like them, ao they cultivate th<
habit of saying that which will
please the hearei without regard ti
its truth Or they have read torn*
popular book on psychology, whirr
tells them that the way to mak«
friends Is to flatter, and they pul
into practice this advice with nevei
a thought that Uiey are being dis
honest
Others flatter tor more maiidoui
reasons Politicians have discovered
that the surest way to cause an op
ponent to make a fool of himself u
to flatter him into doing something
which in an uninflated stale of mind
he would have better Judgement
than to attempt Others indulge in
flattery to get something from tbs
object of their flattery They ar«
Uke the fox in the fable who flatter
ed the crow on his beautiful voice
When the crow, full of vanity, open
ed his beak to slog, be dropped the
piece of cheeae ha was holding, and
the fox gobbled It up.
I Some people flatter tor sheet
cowardice They lack the courage to
, speak the truth They will say wbat ,
I another expects of them rathet than
I what they know to be so There
are preachers who are guilty here
Instead of preaching against the sin*
of unregenerate human hearts, they
flatlet their hearers with smooth
sounding messages on the greatness
of the human race Sinners lost and
undone feel no conviction a* they
sit under their ministry but go out
full of a self-satisfaction to con
tinue to their sin They are trapped
and pinioned in a net of smooth
words when tf they had been told
the truth about themselves and then
own sinful condition and potn’ed to
the Lord Jesus, they should have
found in truth and in Him who is
the Truth, freedom from the chains
' of sin Truly, “a man that flattereth
his neighbor spreadeth a net for ms
feet" (Proverbs 29:5> There is no
flattering of the Adamic nature and
of sinners in God’s Word Unre
generate men hate and despise the
Word of God because it tails them
the truth about themselves Men
prefer flattery, but it la only to the
truth that freedom is found.
