The effects of the battle to save the dollar promise to be unpleasant. After an early year surge to new highs for dollar values and production, business will find the going rougher as the months unfold. Scarcer and more costly money will take its toll of growth. 3.

I i i t Now been dark-haire- THE APOSTLE PAUL took many journeys in order to spread the gospel of Jesus. Besides seeing groups of people personally, Paul also wrote to them, answering questions about the new religion and amplifying important points. In our Bible are more than a dozen letters, each labeled according to its destination, as Pauls Letter to the Romans," or Pauls Letter to the Ephesians. In each case, Paul was addressing only a few inhabitants of each city, Rome and Ephesus. Many of these were the first Christians in their communities, men and women who embraced the teachings of Pauls Master. Pauls letters still do the job today that he first intended for them: Stiffening the backbone of our belief, they remind us that all things are possible if we have faith, and they repeat triumphantly Jesuss gospel of universal love. They still make grand, uplifting reading. Here are some of my favorites: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind ; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful ; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends ; as for prophecy, it will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease ; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to (Continued on Back Page) and their government to defeat the many antagonists . . . inflation, social corruption, greed, crime, fear and despair . . . that are pressing upon us as the new year be- 1. towns was taken so seriously d man was that a given the job of acting as Going from house to would be the first to he house, cross over the threshold, thus preserving the good fortune of the community.
