The Bible And I he Depression When the days are dark, men need it* Light. V u. :he time are hard, men heed it - comfort. When the outlook is discouraging, men need its confidence. When despair is abroad, men need its word "I hope. There are luxuries that* may well be spared. There are even necessities that can lie i urtailed. Hut the Bible, indispensable at all times, is still more indispensable in times like these today. The Bible is not a book of political maxims or of economic theories, It is not. a book of Maxims or theor ies at all. It is a book of living principles. It's spirit is the spirit of brotherliness and good will. It is a sum mons to helpfulness: "Bear ye one a not tier's burdens.’' It is a summons also to self-respecting independence: “Let every man bear his own burden." it teaches charity, but also justice. It calls us to tin- giving and serving which the strong owe to the weak, and those who have to those who lack; but it also strikes straight an<* clear at the moral defects in individuals which are responsible for a large part of the poverty and suffer ing of the world; and also at the moral and economic defects in society, in business relations, and in the dis tribution of the common resources of the world, which are responsible for the remaining part . Christ is the only hope of individuals and of society. And the Bible is the only book which tells His story. It alone preserves His words, which are spirit and life. It alone records His deeds by which He saved the world, and would save it now if we would obey Him. The best thing men can do is to spread the Bible and to get it read and obeyed. This would he the end of hard times, of poverty, of unemployment, of injust ice, or wrong, or war. ROBERT E. SPEER Nobody’s Business By GHEE MoGfiK how to drive a cat . flat rock, s.
