Some Things Worth Thinking About j If You Know, You Live, If Not You Die j Read and Ponder i S:iys Babson, "Peace will come only as all nations gradually gradu-ally acknowledge God as their leader, saviour and friend." This is true. But what of the fact that most of the nations engaged in war call themselves Christian and claim that they have the true religion Babson speaks of. The trouble is that their religion does not take hold of their Ehearts. There is plenty of religion creed, , dogma and what not of the head but very little religion of the heart. "The heart aye is the part aye, that makes us right or wrong." Oswald Garrison Villard, former editor of The Nation, makes some very sensible remarks about The World of the Future "If the world of the future is to be fit to live in it must be warless. With war out of the way we want an order . ed world built on knowledge that "my country is the world, my countrymen mankind.'' A cooperating world is what we see next, with peace guaranteed by a federal government, or a parliament, or a senate a federation of nations buttressed by a world court. We want to live in a world without colonies, colo-nies, with backward people's lands developed primarily for their inhabitants, with the full recognition that fixed bounties of nature are vouchsafed humanity only for the use of all mankind. We want in this vi arlfss world a recognition of the absolute dignity, equality and liberty of every man without regard to race, color or creed. We want mankind ruled by the example of the gentle Nazarina, who wished not only that children be suffered to come unto Him, but all men and women wom-en as well." Heavy burdens are being added upon the poor almost daily and they are being ground more severely than evr between two heavy mill stones the rise in food prices and the rise in rents. Greed is everywhere with its outstretched itching palm to get and get, to take and take with the spirit of Phylock. Poor men are walking the pavements looking for homes and apart ments within their means and finding few or none to be had a a price they can pay. Raises in rent are everywhere in evidence, eviden-ce, in some cases inexcusable and outrageous. And children are unwanted everywhere. And they are daily facing their merchants with fear because of the inexcusable high prices of the necessities of life. Everywhere in the land there are the vultures of greed who are feeding fat by trafficking in the hunger and need of the poor. And on top of all this the new tax bill is it seems, specially drawn in favor of monopoly and against the low-income consumer. There are some state agencies agen-cies set up for the prevention of some of these exorbitant increases in-creases in rent and the price of food stuffs. In heaven's name let them stand forth and do their full dutv. and do it nnw One of the early Utah prophets made the prediction that there would come a time when the rails of all the railroads of the country would rust for lack of use, which meant, of course that trains would be forced to 5top running The said prophet i also told how this would paralyse the country, especially the j manufacturing centers. If this does not come about in the present threatened railroad strike it will come shortly through other strikes. There will be three deaths three necessary, important deaths, sure and certain. The three things that are dying are Militarism, Capitalism, and Ecclessiasticism. The war is definitely killing them. The press of the country is deceiving the people and making them believe that these things cac be aved, but they cannot Don t be deceieved. This trinity is dying. All the Bible prophesies, all modern revelation and prophesy proclaim it and testify of it. Now you know the truth not our truth but the Almighty's truth written in all of His sacred works a'nd in the hearts and mouths of all His true prophets. I j You are living in an age of stupendous decay, degradation degrada-tion of standards of public conduct. There is a. revolting- increase in-crease in greed, hypocrisy, treachery, lying, stealing, murder, sexual sin, brute force, aggression and a tendency toward mobocracy. These things caused the war and they are flourishing flour-ishing more than ever. God has again repented creating man it seems. This age makes old man Noah's days seem good . "My battle Against Our Deadly Dope Racket." Dr. Arthur Art-hur La Roe, President of the American Narcotic Defense Association, As-sociation, presents a disquieting picture of a mind and body destroying traffic in drugs.
