There are four reasons why every Christian ought to give his heartiest support to this program," Rev. Frank Leatherwood said. 10T15-H:15 1. It Is The Command uf Our Lord. . 1. His commands are not to be lg- ni!Our relationship to Htm as Lord demands obedience to His will. 3. Jt is not a question of cost, but of doing His will. by 1. A. Rhinehart. 11:15-12:00 Sermon, Avery Peek. 1:30-2:00 11. Because of the Needs to be Met. 1. There are souls that are lost. 2. There are homes that know not the love of Christ. 3. There are lands that are still heathen. Uy K. P. McCracken. 2:00-2:30111. Because of the Im pression Whira iSuecess or Failure Will Make. 1. We ourselves will be influenced by the results of success or failure. 2. The non-Christian will judge our religion and our Lord by the failure or success of His program. a. The worldly man Judges the Church by its weakest member. Hy F. H. Leatherwood. 2:38-3:00 IV. Because the Life of thir Church and Denomination De pend on Our Missionary Endeavors. 1. Only the missionary Church thrives. 2. The anti-missionary Church will die. 3. The Christian Church grows by giving out, rinds its life by losing it. By Thos. Erwin.

It is too early yet to say when the business reces sion will be over. 1 am more certain than 1 was a month ago, however, that a revival is not far off. There are now straws in t:ie v,-nu which show that business is slowly turning around. These straws were missing at Christmas time. Among them are good retail trade reports, season ally higher industrial activity, stead ier tones in commodity markets, and better building volume. To get a words-eye picture of current trends, let me briefly analyze the leading business barometers: Consumer Industries Sensitive Consumer ' industries are usually the first to be hit ans ncnce are us ually the first to recover. There fore, conditions in this group at pres ent are of more than ordinary inter est. Textile activity is currently 40 per cent below last year's level and back to the bed-rock figures. Trading in gray goods, however, has recently been more brisk and prices have firmed. The past fortnight, moreover, has seen a sturdy step-up 10 per cent in mill operations. The shoe industry was among the first to feel the slackening in activ ity last year. Production hist month was 30 per cent under the yeur-ago level. Smart shoe-makers, however, have cut prices 10 per cent. As a consequence, buying Was better than expected at the recent annual Chicago shoe show. Reports indicate that some factories will be running near capacity during the next 60 to 90 days. One would think that food sales would jog along at a stable level, but volume is influenced by prices and general conditions. Latest reports show food sales considerably under the li37 figures. Here again there has been a noticeable pick-up during the past week or two with the easing off in retail prices as the leading stim ulating factor. Paper consumption has taken a "licking" along with all other busi nesses. Because paper is used in so many different lines, it is an excellent barometer of general business. It is interesting, therefore, that paper company executives report orders nudging seasonally ahead in the past ten days with mills running better than they have for several months. Some Heavy Industries Hit Hard Heavy industries .maintained their volume long after the more sensitive consumer industries began to curtail. Hence, some were hit later but harder than the lighter manufacturing group. Biggest sufferer among the durable goods industries has been steel. Op erations catapulted downward from 85 per cent of capacity last August to 20 per cent a month ago. Since Chrstmas there has been some re covery and the operating rate this week is around 150 per cent compared with 80 per cent a year ago. Motor assemblies in 1937 were the second largest in the history of the country. Car sales continued at an excellent level until November when :j - - O .el A m ii i i mi . ) AS HF SFFS THF HUMAN SIDE 0'LIFE as Sam Jones yooce to say . lcastwize j sez that I needn't be a-feerd uv enny Mr. Fditur an' loyal reeders, this wk.

The current level, on the other hand, compares with only 50,000 assemblies in the first week of this month. Building volume has held up re markably well. Private home con struction has fallen sharply since last June and is only 05 per cent of the 1937 level. But non-residential and public operations have stepped into the breach so that total construction in December wai; above a year ago. Furthermore, the first half of Jan uary was better than the initial fort night of December. Asa consequence, allied industries, such as lumber-, have begun to pull up from their recent depth of as low as 50 -per cent under their l'J.'J7 peak. General Indicators Look I'p Miscellaneous iiniicaturs al'M give an excellent clue to business con ditions. Heading the list is power consumption. It is a valuable indi cator because electricity is used uni versally in factory and home. Its trend has been vertically downward since September. Several months ago output' crossed ."below the "year ago" level Tor the first time since. April, 1:!5. Current figures., how ever; 'are reflecting the seasonal step up in industry all over the nation. . Freight Carloadings reliably inir rowed the down-hill rush of business shipments this Fall. Loadings for the last week in December were at the lowest level for any similar week in four years. Although traffic is still 20 per cent below the 10:57 figures, there has been a sharp re bound in loadings in the last fort night.:' ,. Banking figures are beginning to be optimistic; Commercial loans continue to slide off gradually. They ! are down six per cent since their peak in-: October,- showing that inventories are being worked off. Bank debits:, are down 15 per cent. On the other i hand, deposits have halted their down- j trend which set in almost a year ago and are $100,000,000 above their De- j comber lows. j Retail trade is the most optimistic, of all the barometers. Merchants! have put on attractive "sales" to keep goods moving. As a result, retail trade had held up .splendidly. Christ mas volume was off only two per cent frpm 1936, while January clear ances have been within 5 to 10 per cent of a year ago. (Jood retail trade is helping to hold and to boost vol ume in all lines. Sentiment ' Barometer Weakest Now, what does the performance of these barometers mean ? While they do not definitely show that we have rounded the bottom they do in dicate that business is stabilizing and that we have probably seen the worst. The barometer which has the lowest reading of all right now is "Business Sentiment." Underlying factors have a more important effect in the long- run than surface conditions such as the present name-calling contest at Washington. But an end to the cur rent "Era of Bad Feeline" would do more to heal sentiment and to help this mid-winter upturn than any oth" er single factor! But I'm a-gom' to give it up, lokes, yes sir-ee! I'm a-goin' to take a rest an' let you reeders have a rest.
