THURSDAY, DEC. 20, 1934 THE FRANKLIN PRESS and THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN PAGE FIVE which reads, "Tht Holy Bible," ftk Cm 12m a7 4 UK iun UMV VI and which am tains Four Great Treasures Ltf U-R U Ct UA-H I UN re KM Bruce Barton A MISUNDERSTOOD BOOK THERE remains the last book in the Bible, the book of Rev elation. It is a much abused book. The first thing necessary is to for get most that you have read about; it. It is not a program of coming events. It has in it noth ing about the next presidential election in the United States. Its chief character is Nero. Indeed, the book is so simple it is hard to make readers be lieve its true ex planation. Remember, first, that in the interval between the Old and the New Testaments apo calyptic literature became enor mously popular. There was a flood of books with dragons and grotesque animals representing peoples or na tions or events. The Jewish imagi nation revealed in this style, which is illustrated in a part of Daniel, a very late book of the Maccabaean period, and much more dramatical ly in Revelation. At one time it seemed that all other literature in the Christian church might be drowned out by the flood of this florid material. Just afttr Paul and Peter were killed, John, the apostle, was ban ished to the island of Patmos. He was not yet the aged apostle of love; he was a hot-headed "son of thnnder" and he wanted to write letters of encouragement to tne churches in Asia Minor. The let ters are in the opening chapters of Revelation. But John wanted to say something else and to say it in a way that would not get the people who had the letter in their possession into trouble. So he adopted the popular cryptic form which makes up the balance of the book. It should be studied through an opera-glass and not a microscope. There is no use ask ing what is the meaning of every hair on the tail of each fantastic beast. But the three ideas are plain as a pike staff. Those ideas are: First: Do not be afraid of the persecutions that originate in Je rusalem. That city will soon be ifj trouble with Rome and not able to persecute Christians. Second: Do not be afraid of the emperor of the mighty city on the seven hills that now is ruling the world; that city has trouble of its own coming, and it is not far off. Third: Hold to your faith, for it will survive. Jesus Christ is great er than Nero, and His religion will last longer than the Roman govern ment. How amazingly his great dream came true! The Roman Empire fell, and the one power that could avail to save it, not from the pagans but to the future through the pagans, was not the political or judicial power of Rome or the culture of Athens. That which .saved civilization when Jerusalem was destroyed and Rome sacked by the vandals was nothing more or less than the Church of Christ. (Next Week: Ten Great Men) LATEST Lki Patricia Dow TODAY l I INCOMES . . . large and small There is one individual in the United States whose net income, on which he paid taxes for 1933, was above five million dollars. I don't know his name; the Federal In come Tax Bureau didn't give it out with the figures it published the other day. And, personally, I don't care who he is nor envy him his millions. It seems likely to me that he is one of the very rich men who spend most of their incomes on efforts to help make the world a better place to live in. There are a good many such. What I am really concerned about is not that there were 46 persons with incomes of more than $11,000,000 in that year, but that the number of , individuals reporting taxable incomes of less than $25,000 dropped off materially. The folk hardest hit by the depression have not been the very rich nor the very poor, but the in-between mid dle class and wage earners. These Government figures that is one of the few great industrial ists who doesn't have to consult a board of directors or consider the desire of stockholders for dividends before going ahead with his own original ideas. HOUSING for workers I am interested in the project, which several of the big steel com panies and mining companies have under oint consideration, for the building of several thousand "com pany houses" of modern steel-and-wood construction, to replace the dingy and dilapidated hovels in which many workers now live. They are talking of spending $150,000,000 to start with. That will build a lot of $3,000 houses, which can be sold to the workers on payments of about $21 a month, and will go a long way toward making life more comfortable in the steel and mining communities. In a liule New England cotton mill town where I lived when I was a boy the most dismal feature of the landscape was the row up on row of dingy wooden "company houses," all just alike, and as un attractive as one could imagine. But mill-hands who earn $9 or $10 a week could rent these houses for $5 a month and couldn't afford anything better. Those houses stood for more than 100 years, and were torn down only a few years ago to clear the site for a great reser voir. I hope the .new "company TRANSPORT PILOT. Maurice Mam, United Air Lines pilot, says: "When I notice that 'all in' feeling, I pull out a Camel and light up. My natural energy flows back. Tiredness is quickly relieved. I smoke steadily. Camels never upset my nerves.' HOUSEWIFE: "I never knew how much a cig arette could mean un til I smoked Camels," ays Mrs. Robert Sayles. "I was attracted to Camels because they have such a mild fla vor. And I find that when I smoke a Camel, I have more energy." FOOTBALL REFEREE. Tom Thorp says: "The 'lift' that you get from a Camel sure is a mighty valuable thing to anyone whose job requires rut action. And I know I can smoke them any time I like.. .and they will never make me 'edgy' or nervous." Farmers Supply Company Designed in sizes: 14, 16, 18, 20; 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42.

If all of those in comes were equally divided among the entire population of the United States it would amount to only $80 a year, per person. And it wouldn't be long before wealth would again be concentrated in the hands of those who know how to arrnmulate and use it. cnnnLANDIA ... and rubber Who says the days of adventure have passed? T can't imagine any ,vrp interestine adventure than that of the American explorers and engineers who have been clearing u iimtrlp in the upper Amazon country to build the new colony of "Fordlandia." Millions of acres are being planted to rubber trees, to insure a permanent supply for American, motor-car builders, and a huge area that was uninhabitable for folks is being converted into something resembling an earthly paradise, to hear returning travel lers tell about it.

There is no great novelty , 27mwint in that. The Mormon church sends missionaries all over the world, but doesn't talk much about its ac tivities in public. In the financial world of New York, however, a good many peo ple know something of the money power and wide influence of these thrifty people. I knew one of their financial leaders, the late John W. Young, who married Lilian Nordica, world-famous singer, and was the head of a bie trust company. The biggest financiers in New York and London valued Mr. Young's advice. He looked after the in vestments of this wealthiest of all American religious organizations. I look for a revival of the sound common-sense influence of the Mormons in financial affairs, since Marriner Eccles, who was a Mor mon missionary in his youth, has become Governor of the Federal Reserve Board. all unstrung?
