^WJTHBT RISES FIRST TIME |
SINCE OCT., 1*48; PURCHAS
ING POWER REPORTED DOWN
BY ONE PER CENT
(Centiaaed From Pag* l)
tran during the same period in
1948.
Expenditures for plant and
aquipment by nonagrieultural
business showed no gain in thet
-second quarter of the year over
*■ the first. This was the first time
since the end of World War II
in which there was no increase,!
and the outlook for the year’s
third quarter was for actually
lower expenditures.
The second quarter of the year.
produced a rise in both fixed and
working capital, according to the
council, with total proceeds from
new corporate issues more than
doubled.
The national income, accord
ing to the council's revised esti
mates, dropped by $12,100,000,000
or B per cent, from its peak at
the end of 1948 during the first
half of 1949. About half the
drop was reflected in corporate
profits, including inventory valu
ation adjustment and one-fourth
in compensation of employes.

There ta one uo greatly condemn
ed in the Bible, which you almost
never hear preached againat II la
the ain of flattery, and how largely
It it practiced these daya Some flat
ter with no malicious Intent Diet
desire popularity and want people
to like them, ao they cultivate the
habit of saying that which will
please the hearei without regard to
Its truth Or. they have read some
popular book on psychology, which
tells them that the way to make
friends is to flatter, and they put
into practice this advice with never
a thought that they are being dis
honest
Others flatter for more malicious
reasons Politicians have discovered
that the surest way to cause an op
ponent to make a fool of himself is
to flatter him into doing something
which in an uninflated state of mind
he would have better judgement
than to attempt Others Indulge In
flattery to get something from the
object of their flattery They are
like 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 sing, he dropped the
piece of cheese be was holding, and
the fox gobbled it up.
Son* people flatter ter sheet
cowardice They lack the courage to
apeak the truth They will aay whai
another expect* of them rathet than
what they know to be so There
are preachera who are guilty here
Instead of preaching against the sins
of unregenerate human hearts, they
flatter 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 in their sin They are trapped
and pinioned in a net of sm-ioth
words, when If they had been tow
the truth about themselves and then
own sinful condition and pointed to
the Lord Jesus they should havt
found In truth and in Him who it
the Truth, freedom from the chains
of tin Truly. **a man that flattereth
hi* neighbor spreadeth a net for his
feet" (Proverbs 29:3) 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 tells them
the truth about themselves Men
prefer flattery, but it is only in the
truth that freedom is fdtuid.
