Considering the oiiil ured by some and the high level by others from an economic standpoint, why would it not be possible to lift the lower levels up to the higher? What a world we might make if wo could do this. And only the stupidityand greed of the loaders and the apathy of the people prevents it. A noted French Naturalist says, All living forms of life including man, are the expressions of desire. Therefore, all that man has developed himself to be has come from within. Everything that man has produced outside of himself languages, laws, cities, governments, religions; economic systems, social codes, wars, revolutions, emigrations; etc. have come from within. The outer is the realm of effects. The visible is the invisible in expression. Moses was the originator of one of the most efficient moral and economic orders known to history, and it was tested on a national scale for over one thousand years, and he said in regard to the principle from which this order flowed, It is not hidden from thee, neither is it afar off. It is not in heaven that thou shouldst say, W ho shall go up to heaven and bring it to us? Neither is it beyond the sea that thou shouldst say. Who shall go over the Bea and bring it unto us? Hut the word is very nigh to thee, in thy mouth and n thy heart, that thou mayest do it. He located the source of the moral and economic rder which he established in the heart of the people themselves. It was the expression of their purest desires. The life principle is one but its manifestations tire many. The purpose of an economc order is to furnish man with the means of life in abundance so that he can give the fullest expression to his powers. An economic order that is based on scarcity fails to furnish man with the opportunity to dem onstralc and bring into expression his nward potentialities. Since man is the measure of all things and since scarcity and consequent poverty paralyze the powers of man, the present system, known as the old capitalism, stands condemned in the courts of humanity. far-reachi- ng What, then, is this commandment or force which Moses referred to as being within mans mouth and heart? All worthwhile thinkers agree that it is desire. It is expressed in a living word which contains within itself all the elements essential to the solution of mans problems, and it is found within man himself. The first attempt made by Moses to deliver the Hebrews from bondage was made in his own strength, by violence. He thought that the proper way, as some believe now, was to kill off the task masters. After killing the first one he had to flee Egypt to escape the vengeance of Pharoah, and he hid himself in deep solitudes. In the solitude of the valleys of Midian he had time to meditate and reason and he saw that his first attempted method was wrong. The revelation came to him in the burning bush saying, I will send thee unto Pharoah to bring forth my people. In reply Moses said, Whom shall I say sent me? What is his name? Thou shalt say unto the children of Israel. I AM hath sent me unto thee, this is my name forever and this is my memorial to all generations. ing and headed westward.

The resettlement administration described the exodus as "probably the last great migration of settlers to the far West." Western highways, it said, were choked with cars, trucks and trailers carrying thousands of farm families with all their worldly goods. The exodus began after the 1934 drouth. Many counties lost half of their population. Most of those who moved were farm owners and tenants. Despite federal effort! to check the westward drift, the resettlement administration said the end of the migration Is not yet In sight. These families, mostly too poor to buy farm equipment and start anew in the northwestern itates of Oregon end Washington and In California, have become a serious problem to relief agencies. These new settlers, for the most g farm part thrifty and families from the Middle West, found an altogether different farm west than did the early pioneers, a resettlement report said. Free land was gone with the closing of all public lands to homestead entry. Good, developed farms were scarce. Bobbed by Agent.

I AM is the name, of that infinite power that created and sustains the universe. The burning bush did not amount to much, just a medium for manifestation. Moses did not amount to much in and of himself, just a common shepherd, but he became the power through which this mighty power found expression.

HUGO BLACK, NOW SUPREME JUDGE AND THE WAGE-HOBILL By P. A. Spain None of the Supreme Judges of the U. S. in recent years, was from the south at the time of their appointment; hence it is notable that Roosevelt, a New Yorker, would appoint a Supreme Judge from the far South. Was he angling for votes in the future, or was he dealing for justice ? Of all the acts of the Roosevelt Administration, none has seemed to be more favorable to the working man than the appointment of Black of Alabama on the Supreme Court, Why ? Well, because Black is not only from the South, but he has almost an unbroken record of standing for the down and out. He seems always to have been a friend of working people, and started at the bottom himself. .v THE WAY SOME LOOK AT IT There are sme in the country who look upon the and as economic outcasts who are to be thrust aside from our industrial system and are classed as beings who are unclean with the disease of poverty. Among these are all the submerged farmers, the and innumerable toilers who are denied work. They tell people that the better class of farmers can produce all that is needed, and the laiorers who are employed can, with the modern machines, produce more than is needed, so let the others 100 root hog or die.

The man welfare for which he stood practically measures of alone are now accepted by a majority of the people and some of them have even become commonplace. Today the most forward looking spirit of welfare for the aged and young is saturating the very air we breathe because the few have stood their ground through long and lonely years and battled for principles that now appeal to all. It almost brought tears to our eyes when we read an article on Soul Clinics in one of the nations leading magazines. Soul Clinics, under one name or another, are abroad in the land today, all aiming to the salvage human beings, the poor, the derelict and the sinning and perishing. They are, for the first time, really making alive ihe immortal words, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happniess. We shall have much more to say about these in the future. Who would have thought a few years ago that we should have with us such agencies of human welfare as the government and church social welfare agencies, the United Prosperity Plan, the Townsend Old Age Pension Plan, the Welfare League? etc. These are the forerunners for a great governmental human saving plan that eventually will write above the door of every home in letters of living light the words, SECURITY, PEACE, PLENTY, HAPPINESS. down-and-o- uts, HUMAN CULTURE By Dr. John T. Miller There is a primary element of mind called friendship ; its normal expression is in associations, fraternity and human brotherhood. The abuse of it is in sacrificing the higher developments of life to useless and harmful pastimes. A strong development of the next mental element is Home, home, sweet home, theres no place like home. To be away from that place causes homesickness. A deficiency is shown ina roaming disposition. When the mating instinct is normal it gives a desire for a lifemate and faithfulness in marriage. The abuse of it is in domestic infidelty and promiscous sex relations. Parental love gives a fondness for children. The abuse of it is in the overindulgences that spoil them or the cruelties that kill them. The racial instinct is the only means of perpetuating the human family. The abuse of it is in lewdness, libertinism, vulgarity, lustfulness, sensuality obscenity, licentiousness, debauchery, brutality, etc. The abuse of appetite and the sex instinct are the chief cause of personal degeneracy. These abuses are often due to ignorance. In his book School and Fireside page 41, Dr. Karl There is a certain degree of G. Maeser said truthfully: and teachers in respect to parents among prudery prevailing the relationship of husband and wife into which their children or pupils are expected to enter sooner or later. No one expects to occupy a position in business life without preparation but young people are permitted to enter into the most sacred relationships of life without one word of counsel. And this is not all) : There is not sn experienced teacher who has not noticed the slimy trail of secret vice on the faces of some of his pupils. Attempts to confer with the parents to secure their cooperation in the rescue of their child from the inevitable consequences of such habits are too often met by indifference, incredulity or personal insults.
