The Value of Saving Whije we pose ns no experts, V and, aw, usually not too free with personal advice to our readers, we would Kke to suggest to readers of this newspaper that the year 1956 : would be an appropriate one in 'i which to begin,. -or .inn-ease, your personal savings. 5 1 National statistics show that the amount f consumer credit extend ed i Iduii was a record high. However, . this . alone should not cause alarm, since personal sav ings HINO UK rvttaeu. I ci nuiuii av- - ings- increased as did consumer 'credit because Americans had high- - er wages, salaries and profits in , 1955 than ever heforo. In addition, more money was paid out in old - age benefits,1 and in other benefits, than ever before. - s Nevertheless, and In spite of the prospect for good business in 195i, every citizen should realize that ev- I ery year cannot be a boom year and every yea will not he a good year for all businesses. The pros pect for 1956 is Rood, but the pros pect for 1957 is slightly confused, , since no one is guro what party will i be in power, or who will be Presi dent, ot wha( the international situ ation will be. iS If individuals ;nct mmdontlv and " save moneys i. o, tney win pwee themselves in' a position to be able to survive temporarily depressed tiroes. ' We are of the opinion that no. major kpession, likt that ex rnced inUSSO-Sa, will overtake Americans in.tb near future; v i On the other hand, we do believe ttutM will WHiflHfiHtn nnA Mint those who have gaulvon hand, when these adjustments- come, will he a,ble to rid put the storm, or even take advantage of unusual oppor tunities'. More than that, the sav Ing of money gives one a feeling : of independence and peace of mind, and actual security.. . " If you can do no more than save one per cent of four, earnings per week,, or per month, we, suggest you make this a belated resolution in 1956 am) stick to it throughout the year, and throughout your life, If it is possible. r j- ir"j .January, the first month of the year, gets its name front Latin, and the Latin word, Januarius. - The Latin word is derived from the name of a Roman god, Janus, , Anglo-Saxons, in the oM nys, did not use the word January, but called the first month Fulfmonatij, because of the fact that the wolvts left the forests and entered the vil lages in. search of food during 'the month of January. Some of the most famous men In the history of the United States were born in January. Franklin D. I Roosevelt, the , 32nd President of the United States, was born on Jan uary 30th, 1882, James G. flaine, who was at one time the most pop ular political leader' in the coun try, was born at Brownsville, Pa., January 31st, 1830. , ' ' - Thomas, Paine, one of the coun try's greatest thinkers, was born in England on January 29,' 1737. Emanuel Swedenborg, a great mys tic and religious thinker, was born in Stockholm, Sweden, January 29, 1688. Robert, Bums, the famous Scottish poet, was born in January, 1759. ' ' ;: : '.;:' Robert E.

Edgar AlUrt Po wag also I born in Boston, on January 19, V 1809. Salmon Chase, the sixteenth Justice, of the United States, was bom at Cornish, New Hampshire, on January 13, 1808. Alexander Hamilton, a great and influential force in the American Revolution, was born at Charles Town, in the West Indies, on January H, 1757. Millard Fillmore, thirteenth President of the United States, was bom at Locke, New York, January 7. 1800. In addition, many famous mili tary actions have taken place in January. " The Battle of Princeton took place on January 3rd, and the last battle of the War of 1812, the Battle of New Orleans, was won by the Americans on January 8th, 1815. 1 January, then, has been a his toric month in this country. Janu ary, 1956, is the first of twelve months in a year which will pro duce a new President f the Unit ed States, which will probably pro duce presperity for most Ameri cans.', ' ' v' ''.'" As January, 1956," arrives,' it fs well to keep in mind that the United States now stands at its peak strength, at its greatest pow er and influence, a giant among na tions. It is, therefore, a historical January for U. S. citizens, who might face quite a task in the com ing decades to maintain the Ameri can posture in a changing world. Cw- .U . : les::i . I REPENTANCE I . s International Sunday School Lessn For January 15, 1954 Memory Selection: "Except ye repent, ye shall all k.V', perish." Luke 13:5. Lesson Text: Luk 13:1-9, J1-S5. Jesus realized thcthe would have .only a few years of active life to establish the Kingdom of God- He did not expect its immediate and universal success but endeavored to present it to mankind so that its nature and methods could be under stood and appreciated. : ; - v v He had sufficient faith in the ul timate response of men that . he could give his life in order to il lustrate more perfectly his mission and purpose. As he preached and taught during his three active years of ministry, he was constant' ly seeking to explain and: make, more comprehensive the Kingdom of God. The tnirteenth chapter of Luke's gospel begins with telling us how Jesus exposed the prejudices and , errors of some Jewish critics. They wanted to know if some Galileans, ' who had been slain by Pilate, had been punished for their individual sins. -The reply of Jesus showed that a, disaster should not always be considered a direct and positive retaliation for wrong doing. - We have never been able to understand how people believe that a God of love would be so vindictive as to in? flict terrible suffering on human beings. We do not believe that theso things come through the di rect interposition of divine authori ty. , Rather, -we believe tha they result from error, ignorance and sin, not necessarily always by the injured parties, but certainly as a result . of . the violation of ; God's laws somewhere, at some' time.'-. Jesus declared that neither these Galileans, who were killed by Her od, nor the eighteen men whrf were accidentally killed when the tower of Siloam toppled over on them, were , any more wicked than the rest of them. But he warned his hearers that unless they put them selrftlnto right relationssjtfth God, by repenting of their sins they would ' suffer, not only physical death separation from God forever..;- ; Then, Jesus gave them the par able of the barren fig tree, which, although not as familiar as many other parables of Jesus, is one. of the most important of the nU. The fig tree, vhich was mentioned from the early beginning of crea tion on down through the pages of the Old Testajnent, was one, of the most familiar trees to the listen ers of Jesus that day. It is one of the most common trees of the Near East and its fruit, in various forms, has been a part of the diet of that area for thousands - of years. Therefore, Jesus was on' fa miliar ground when he told, this particular story. J ,' ; , The master or owner of this par ticular tree had noticed that, for three years, the tree had failed to have any figs on it. Disgusted with it, he ordered his vinedresser to cut it down, so that its place could he taKcn by a tree which would bear fruit. The vinedresser begged the master to leave it just one more year and he would tend it, dig around its roots 'and ferti lize it. If it then failed to bear fruit, he would willingly dig it up and cast it forth. ;;' There : is ru argument but that this fig tree stands for Israel, the Jewish people from whom fruit was expected, i They were the Chosen People of God, to wliom he had sent lfis Son. But, instead of accepting him, they were on the verge an killing ' their anointed . Messiah. But, not only does the fig tree stand for Israel and the Jews, it has . a special application to each man, woman and child who has oe cepted. Jesus Christ as his, or her, Savior. ' As His follower. He has the right to expect fruit-i-ln srv- ice to him. This service can bfl rendered only through service;' to one's fellowmen. 'v':;;.,t'' Jesus , incurred the efinginjr wrath of the religions leaders fey healing an afflicted woman lit the Synagogue on' the , "Sabbath Day. He then gave them the Parable of the' Mustard Seed, in which he lik ened the growth of the Kingdom of God to jthat of the tiny seed, which, when cultivated properly, grew In to a largo bush, or tree, larfe enough for birds to : rest in 1U branches.

And, no matter how remits we may have been, the Church stands there with doors open wide, ready to receive us, f But should we wait until we really need a spiritual bulwark?
