Elder trie new pastor of the Provo Baptist Church, has just recovered, together with his family, from an attack of the influenza which they contracted a few days after ar-riving here from Grand Junction, Col-orado, where they had spent a part of the summer. Rev. Elder hails from Ottawa University and his parents still live near Ottawa, Kansas. He is a graduate of this University and alao a graduate of the Rochester Baptist Seminary, 'of Rochester, New York. He and Mrs. Elder and their little boy arrived here about five weeks ogo and immediately after renting Mr. J. I Lytel's home they all took down with the influenza. Mrs. Elder had a very severe attack, but is now growing strong quite rapidly. The following is a Bermonette sub- - teacher, the Y. M. C. A.' worker, or the church, the Sunday School, the college. Thte is unfortunate. To be sure these give the bulk of their time to the training of the inner life. But why not think of every institution in the community as exerting a spir- - itual force one way or the other We do sometimes. Why do we banish the liquor traffic? Is it not because our inner lives revolt against the thing The influence of the newspa-per, the play house, the storo, ad office, the law office tha factory, or any business or profes-sion upon the soul life of the. com-munity, that is the all important thing. Why, we have even used war the most terrible element in our civ-ilization, as a vehicle for the world's spiritual uplift. If we have succeed-ed in so doing may not even war be aligned with the ideal of Jesus? The words "of Jesus in his reply to the tempter is a challenge to every man and woman, every business, every nation to be primarily concern! with the influence they are gointrj exert upon that hidden life of hufwan-it- y which grows and thrives, not on bread, but on things unseen. mitted for the readers of this paper, by Rev. J. H Elder during the time that the churches are closed: "The Nourishment Of Life" ''.Man shall not live by bread alone," (Luke 4:4.) This is the reply of a young man wrestling with a tempta-tion regarding tho investment of his life. It is just after the baptism and Jesus feels stirring within him those powers which are afterwards to make him the greatest figure of all time, How shall he use 1hese poweis? Alone in the wilderness there comes to him the vision of his people's poverty. He himself had known the trials of a poor home. He was familiar with that struggle for daily bread in the lives of so many in the Jewish na-tion. His sensitive nature responded in sympathy to- - these physical needs. Should he invest his powers in rais-ing above the poverty line thousands of his countrymen? It would be a popular work.- - Israel was expecting a Messiah who would do that very thing. They had- - 'The ay" in view, and that day was to be one of materi-al plenty. There would be no clash for him with the religious rulers, and a monument would no doubt be erect-ed to his memory. In these things lay the temptation. But while the heart of Jlesus went out to the pov-erty stricken he could not get away from the consciousness of a far greater need among the people of the earth. His reply, quoted from the Old Testament, Is the reply of His own heart. "Man shall not live by bread alone." i jesus aoes not say mat nunger ana poverty Of his deep concern for the physical welfare of people. His heart goes out to the multitude because they are hungry; he assigns Dives to torments because he refused to feed a poor beggar; he advises the (Phar-isee to feed the poor when he makes a feast; he puts the need of his dis- - clples for food above the Jewish Sab-Idat- h. These are not the acts of a man who is unconcerned about the daily bread problem. Always there has been in the world that cry of hunger. It was not pe-culiar to Jesus' day. Indeed, it has increased in volumn in our own time. Sums that would have seenfed fabu-lous to the ancient world are being ppent for relief of hunger alone. It is a Christian activity. It is the spir-it of Jesus abroad in the world that makes men respond to that cry for bread. An individual is, in part at least, Christian when he helps to re-lieve that need. A nation has taken a long step toward becoming a Chris-tian state when it takes upon its own shoulders the burden of feeding the starving millions in distant parts of the world, especially when some of those millions have so recently been Its enemies. . Any unconcern for .he hungry of our own city, or nation, or the world Is and con-trary to the spirit of Jef.ua. iBut In his reply Jesus qualifies his recognition that men and women and children need bread. He says that bread alone Is not their only need. He implies that it is not the greatest need of humanity. Undoubtedly there are times when a person's greatest need is something to eat. If your child had gone hungry for twenty-fou- r hours probably his greatest need would be food. If a scholar came into your Sunday School class in whose home theT had been no food for two days, you would make a mistake if you tried to teach lm the Beatitudes before feeding him. Some of the missionaries in the Near East have almost entirely suspended preaching and teaching that they might g'.ve their time to feeding the starving ref-ugees. Dut this does not mean that the greatest need or your child, your scholar or the people of the East, for every day of the year and every year of their lives is to be food. Food gives life, but, "Is not the life more than the food?" Food keeps us from suffering and keeps our bodies living. Hut" the temper of the spirit-ual nature which expresses Itself through that body Is of great import-ance. Did not Jesus reject the one as a life calling that he might give the bulk of his time to the other, that the spiritual nature of man micht be Mi chief concern The training and the nouriwhrnent of that nature is Christian ac-tivity. This does not mean the developing of a certain type of pious nature in people. It fs rather cultivating and Insuring a sturdy growth for those qualities which taken together con-stitute what we recognize as Chris-tian manhood and womanhood.

AH this money is paid to'the farmer through the open market in competition with large and small packers, shippers, speculators and dealers. v The farmer, feeder, or shipper receives N every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour, nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has just sold is weighed up. Some of the money paid to the farmer dur-ing a single day comes back to the company in a month from sale of products; much does not come back for sixty or ninety days or more. But the next day Swift & Company, to meet the demands made by its customers, must pay out another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously tied up in goods on the way to market and in bills owed to the company. This gives an idea of the volume of the Swift & Company business and the requirements df financing it. Only by doing a large business can this company turn live stock into meat and by-produ- cts at the lowest possible cost, prevent waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to retailers in all parts of the country and be recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound a profit too small to have any noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.

RED CROSS OR6WTI0IIS It has been previously announr that the American Red Cross na' . . been 4 designated by the War Depart- - ' ! ment as the official welcoming body ':"' for the soldiers now being demobillz-e- d at the rate of approximately five hundred a day from each camp nnd cantonment in-- the country. This , means that nearly fifty thousand men will be released from the camps each day, and will be traveling to their homes. Arrangements are being perfected by the organizations of the American Red Cross all over the country to care for the wants of these men en route, and to welcome them when they ar-- rive at destination. The War Depart-ment has made the suggestion, which ; will be acted upon, that the Red Cros j through its various chapters and ' branches, should express the appreel-- . I ation of the American people to the discharged soldiers as they Journey homeward. These men temporarily gave up home, friends, positions and everything to undertake the rigors and hardships of training preparatory to duty overseas on the battlefields, and U is the intention of the 'Red Cross, through Its local organizations everywhere, to appoint "Welcome j Home" committees, to meet trains carrying these men to their homes and give them such a reception as J will make them feel that the Ameri- - j can people appreciate their sacrifice. Local Chambers of Commerce and other civic organizations ar,LavIted ! to to the utmost wilft the ' ..... Red Cross committees, to mak the .""'"; reception accorded the boys a real demonstration of the appreciation felt by the American people. j The Canteen workers of the Red ! Cross all over the country are to be prepared to distribute refreshments to the soldiers and to see that they ( are provided with every comfort. Cards will bo furnished for ie reg-- i istration of these returnlug loUliers, to be filled out with the tnan full name, date of discharge, ' division, regiment, company, rank, branch of service and home address.
