Moti church Sunday, January 30th.
general subject will be "iy
Fart in My Lord's Program."
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.

End Of Recession
Not Far Off, Says
Roger W. Babson
Babson Park, Fla. 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

they folded up like an 'accordion.
Factory output has 'dropped, from
120,000 cars per week last Spring to
(55,000 at present. 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.
An' when 1 kum back it 1 ever do,
think I'll put the fodder alittle hyer,
