Happenings Affecting Future Of People
: As everyone knows, the arms
program Is playisg an Increasingly
Important role in sustaining sad
expanding the American economy.
This year -we will spend close to
950,000,000,00(1 for national secur
ity purposes. The peak ' annual
rate may toe as much as $65,000,
000,000. So a great many people
are wondering just what is going to
happen when, and if, war spend
ing is sharply reduced. In other
words, will we be in 'for another
big depression?
Answers to that run the gamut,
from the pessimists who think the
next depression will dwarf that
of the '30s, to the optlmistists who
argue that any really substantial
ibreak la virtually Impossible. One
interesting and informed discus
sion of the possibilities recently
appeared in U. S. News and World
(Report It took the form of an
interview with A. S. McLeod, who
is chief of that magazine's Econom
lo Unit, and who served for many
years as an economist and consul
tant for private business in the
field of trend forecasting.
In Mr. MoLeod's opinion, a crash
on the 1929 scale is "highly im
probable,' for the reason that "the
situation after the arms nroeram
slows and stabilizes is to bear no
semblance to that of 1929." As he
points out. there have been no
such excesses in security specula
tion as mere were then. In those
days .securities were widelv hplrt nn
long margins, and some 39 per
wm 01 an loans oy f ederal mem
ber hanks were against securities.
Today, he says, security loans total
less man tive per cent of all out
standing loans, and most securities
are owned outright
Be also finds the situation very
different from that of 1929 In the
case of mortgage credit Then
mortgages were written for rela
tively short periods of time and
were not of the amortizing type.
Today the typical mortgage runs
for 15 years or .more, and is grad
ually amortized in other words.
the mortgagee pays it off much as
a man pays rent Thus. Jar. McLeod
observes, "there cannot he a forc
ed liquidation of in is type of cred
it either on urban dwellings or
on farms. He says also. "Bank
failures, under almost any con
ceivable situation, are a thing of
the past on a wholesale scale."
- This doesn't mean that he be
lieves the outlook to be 100 per
cent rosy. His guess Is that when
the arms spending is heavily eut
back, the level of general indus
trial activity may decline 10 to 20
per cent, and total national spend'
ing might drop around 10 per cent
This decline will last one to two
years. ''By that time," he says, "if
government policies are not dis
couraging to 'businessmen, things
probably would get better."
Mr. McLeod lays heavy stress on
our rapid population rise fac
tor which he thinks is not get
ting as much attention as it de
serves. Our population is grow
ing at a rate of 2,000,000 a year or
so, and new family units are being
formed at the rate of 1,000,000 a
year. That, he points out, means
a heavy demand for homes, appli
ances .automobiles, and all kinds
of goods, services, and facilities.
In sum, Mr. McLeod sees some
rough spots ahead but nothing com
parable to '29. Many other serious
6tud(ts of trends are in general
agreement with him. 1

THE church of the twentieth cen
tury is taking a beating. ; We
are living in one of the dark eras
when the Christian church in large
parts of the world is on the retreat
One - sixth of the
earth's surface, that"
used to be called
"Christian," is now
dominated by anti
religious powers.
There were once,
B.OOO missionaries in
China where now
there are 200, and
the number is grow
ing fewer still. An
Inquiring minister
in Georgia recently 'asked a num
ber of American church leaders
whether they thought we can call
the United States a "Christian" na
tion.' Most of them said No, and
most of them thought that America
is at present slipping farther away
from Christ
.
What Did the Early Church
Have That We Haven't?
NOW the question Is: What did
the early church have that we
don't have? Why did they succeed
where we have not been succeeding!
One quality which war strong in
the early church, weak today, is
fellowship. Let us first see what the
New Testament idea of fellowship is
not It is not organization. It was not
any one Big Man or Big Church or
any pattern of organization that
made the early church "click." Also,
it was not simple nearness.
For many persons today, "be
looging to the same church"
with another person means no
more than that on occasional
Sundays they find themselves
sitting- within a .few yards of
each other. They do not know
each other's names, perhaps,
much less take any personal in
terest in each other's affairs.
Furthermore, the New Testament
does not hold up subscription to a
creed as the main feature of fel
lowship. All mathematics teachers
believe in the truth of algebra and
geometry, but that does not make
a fellowship out of mathematics
teachers. So you can have several
hundred or several thousand people
repeating the same Creed without
ever being a fellowship or even
knowing what the word means.
No Tinker-Toy Bosiness
OSE thing that fellowship did
mean, when it meant something,
Jesus mads very plain. It is like
the life of a growing vine. You ean
fcot think of the branches without
the vine, nor of the vine without
the branches. ' ; -
' Carrying an the same Idea,
Pan! a Car. U) speaks at the
ehareh aa the "body" of Christ.
. Christian fellowship is first af :
all an iatimats grewtnf-ln to
the We of Christ, sharing the
same Ufa with him.
Ton can make a tinker-toy man
with two arms or no arms, you ean
pun the legs and arms out and stick
them in again as you like, because
the tinker-toy man is not real, it la
only blocks and stick But you
cannot stick branches in and pull
them out of a vine like that; much
less pun legs and arms out of a
living body.
If the. church today is weak, ft is
because too many individual "mem
bers" are not members of Christ.
They belong to the church, statis
tically speaking; but they do not
belong to Christ
Belonging to One Another
ANOTHER thing that fellowship
means, grows out of this first
thing. The New Testament idea the
New Testament fact is that all
Christians are parts of one another,
Just as an parts of a living thing
belong to one another.,
It is quite true that not every one
in the church then understood this,
or Jesus and Paul would not have
had to speak and write as they did.
But the church at large 'did under
stand it Every church then was a
kind of family, indeed often a much
better family than that into which
Its members had first been born.
Although ' etch Christian was
himself, indeed a new self ("If any
man is in Christ, he is a new cre
ation," Paul said), yet in the church
every one belonged to every one
else. Just as in a good family. The
good of one was the happiness of
all; the sorrow and trouble of one
was the trouble of all; the tempta
tion of one gave, the others an op
portunity to fight for his rescue.
The church, when It IS the
church, is the fellowship sa.
- preme, the natted life, the Ufe
of God shared by these whs leva
-,: him and one another.
Perhaps the best thing the Chris
tian church today could do, Instead
of getting more "members" who
are not members, would be to re
discover and re-practice New Testa
ment fellowship. Such a church
would begin to win victories again.

' ' A Gospel S'mget
One Sunday In the early 1870's a lone man
stepped from a train in a small Eastern town.
His name was Thllip Bliss. After twenty years
of impoverishment and heart-breaking work,
he had risen to the front ranks of America'
gospel singers and hymn composers.
Deeply religious, Bliss never missed aa op
portunity to attend church. He also had very,
practical reasons for his Interest in sermons.
It was from the pulpit that be drew Ideas for
'most of his hymns. Dwight Ii .Moody had told
the story of a shipwreck and Bliss had written
"Let the Lower Lighta Be Burning." Ha had
heard Evangelist D. W. Whittle tell of a battle
during the Civil War and he canw up with his
hymn, "Hold the Fort." r--:-'',,y!
Waiting for his connecting train to Oht
cago, the composer slipped into a church. Tha
preacher was reading from the Acta of the
Apostles ; : . . , Then Agrippa said to Paul, .
Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. '
Daring his sermon the Rev. Brundage stated,
. . . "to be almost saved to to ho entirely lost."
and Philip Bliss had the theme for one of Ma
greatest hymns.
A music teacher with aa Income ot thirteen
dollars a month at 26, Philip Bliss waa earning
' a fortune from his hymn books at St and
erstictded
Wttit jor $Trm
giving tha fortune to charity. On December z9,
187(, ha and his wife were riding a, Chicago
pound express through Ohio. Near tha town
of Ashtabnla the train crashed through a tres
tle and burned, The composer and his wife per
ished with a hundred other passengers. He
would have been 88.
