Show B. Y. U. NOTES VICTORY LOAII Behunin By William Clyde OF MORMON Dr. Sidney B. Sperry, profes-go- r of religious education at the rYU is currently engaged in writing a study of the Book of Mormon that will emphasize the literature and great teachings of the Book of Mormon. Tentatively, it is entitled, "Your Book' of Mormon but the probability is that this working title will be changed before publication. According to Dr. Sperry, some of the most interesting material in the Book of Mormon deals with Moroni, the last of the Kcphite people, and his doings during his 38 years alone. One chapter of Sperrys work will deal with the history and Urim and functions of the Thumin. While he will enalize the Book of Mormon as a whole, and ghow the various types of literature such as epistles, naarrative, Psalms, etc. a section of Sperrys volume deals with what he calls The American Gospel or Third Nephl where Jesus teaches to the American people Outstanding teachings of the Book of Mormon are emphasized under the heading of "Great Dr. Sperry says: Universale. "By a universal element is meant a statement of a bit of wisdom or teaching which has a comprehensive spiritual appeal to humanity at large. The Golden Rule of the Master is an unusually good illustration of what is meant." An example of a Great Universal in the Book of Mormon is 2 Nephi 26:30: "Behold, the Lord hath forbidden this thing; wherefore, the Lord God hath given a commandment that all men should have charity, which charity is love. And except they should have charity they if were nothing. Wherefore, they should have charity they would not suffer the laborer in Zion to perish." Another section of Sperrys work deals with the language and script of the Book of Mormon in a popular and way. B0HB3 PROVE BOOK ) al Y. ATHLETIC BUILDINGS According to President Howard S. McDonald the Brigham Young University is planning a athletic good i i I ! plant, complete with swimming pool and other needed items. However, dormitories and a science building will be built first Carl F. Eyring, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences said, The departments of Mathematics including Astronomy; Geology; Physics; Chemistry; Engineering; Drawing and Surveying, are all carefully listing the room needed including its dimensions and uses. From this Information the architect will make a preliminary estimate of cost and work out a general design for the Science building. After these items have been approved by the Board of Regents then detailed specifications for each room and group of rooms will be worked out by the various departments and the archi tect, Fred Markham." Dormitories for over 1000 students are also being considered.

Gamble tracts, and for other, necessary governmental es- pe nditures during the next few months. The Budget Bureau recently estimated total Federal Expenditures for tlie 1840 fiscal year at $08.4 billion. or $33 7 billion below 1945. Receipts were estimated at $38 billion, but these may be reduced somewhat by the new tax biiL This leaves defleit of $30.4 billion, which must be met by Treasury borrowing. It Is In order to help meet this defleit that the Treasury decided on the Victory Loan, the last big public drive for funds. As we enter this Victory Loan, Fd like to review briefly the accomplishments of our war financing program. From May 1, 1941, when the: program started, to October 1, 1945, J we raised the huge sum of $207 bit; Uon. Furthermore, we raised this' money through plan of voluntary, savings st the lowest interest eost of' any nation engaged In the war, and at the lowest selling expense ever1 recorded. In the first seven war loan drives, we set total quotas of $95 billion for. all Investors, and sold $135,749,000,-00- 0 in war loan bonds. Every loan, was oversubscribed. Billions more1 were sold In the Interim periods between drives. Ws have sold these, bonds to more than 85,000,000 Americans. By the time this loan la over,, wa win have sold one billion individual pieces of the popular Series X bonds alone. Where did this money come from? Our figures show that individual provided the Treasury with $40 bO- -, lion net out of the $80 billion hi new fluids that has become available te them since May 1, 1941 end most of the remainder went into cash savings or commercial bank accounts. Inaurance companies and savings banks invested all of the $22 billion In new funds that they received. ! State and local governments invest-- ' d $5 billion of th $6 billion avaO-- l able. Private corporations bad $31 billion of new funds from current surpluses and we obtained $28 bit-- , Ilona of it. Most of the remainder waa needed by them for expand ed wartime operations. Federal agendas and trust funds invested all of their $17 billion of new funds. in government securities. In short, up to the end of the Sevk enth War Loan, Investors provided the government with $121 billion net of the $207 billion It had to borrow since May 1, 1941, the balance of $BL billion being absorbed byj commercial Federal Reserve banks,, most of it in open market purchases. Except for the investment of a limited portion of their savings deposits, we have not permitted the banks to subscribe directly to war loan seeuriitea In tlie last five war bond drives, nor in the current Victory Loan. One of the most significant achievements of our program Is the widespread distribution of the publie debt. Millions of people who never before saved a penny in their lives, now own aavingi bonds. It is estimated that of the Series E bonds sold to individuals were acquired by persons earning $5000 a year or less. Today, indi-- ; viduuls hold almost of the total Fcdifal debt outstanding. An even larger proportion of the interest paid out rai this debt will go to Individuals. Obviously, this will have a tremendous impact on postwar purchasing power. Investing in Victory Bonds will build s second economy for the We cannot afford to slump back into indifference and selfishness If ws are to keep faith with those who have paid most dearly so that we could live in a free and peaceful world. We can and should buy Victory Bonds to the limit of our ability If for no other reason than to express our gratitude to our fighting men. They have done their Job, and have done it welL It Is up to us to Onlsh ours, so Vist they may corns; back to the kind of an America they dreamed about a land of opportunity with full employment, flill production and high Income. The Victory Loan la our opportunity to express again our faith In America. J non-ban- Another Fallacy This speech Is no nearer true than the one about the water. Both have sonic facts in tliem but they are not related facts. I am not trying to lay that wealth is free and cheap like water, but I inn saying this: My neighbors line home and big car have cost me nothing. He has more than I have because he (or his father maybe) has more ability than I have. There is such s thing as oppression of tlie pour. There is such a tiling as exploiting labor. It is a crime who.'li Jesus decried openly. It is also a vice because it le.ids toward poverty and not toward wealth. "Good money in circulation" is a manifestation of prosperity ond it occurs only in lands where woi kers are well paid and thua permitted to maintain good homes and Jive in comfort. America's Blessing Workers arc paid well in America. twice as well ss in England and six times ss well as in Russia, and A'l'criiu is a rich country.
