A boom begets big headedness, concfiit,^^ extravagance, self-will; all these are enemies to hu mility and faith, and all evaporate in a deflation. ....—„ - My falther, who was a clergyman, used to say: “It do^s not surprise me that more people do not go to chureh. On the contrary, I am forever being amazed thaT'so many do gb.**^ He. went op to ask: “Why do people go?^’ And h6 ansv^ered by. .saying that they go to hear themselves called sinners, to be told that they have done wrong during th€_we€k and have been a dis appointment to themselves and the asked vantage of being able to bury their mistakes.” Third remark: “When the lawyers talk about ‘cleaning up the bar’ they know it is just talk and that nothing will l|)e done. They want the law to be intricate and involved because that makes more work Tor lawyers.” -^ Fourth remark: “I don’t read ad vertising any more; it is so exagger ated and misleading.” Each of these remarks reminded me of .the very wise advice 'of an older editor when, years ago, I was placed in charge of a magazine. He said: “You are going to discover that there are not efficient people in the world. angels, they go to be asked to give money and to be told'that they do not]You will explain an idea to a writer, give enough . . . All this, said my land he will seem to understand, but father, is a program so rigorous that the wonder is that anybody continues to ask for it.

I know the financial efficiency of my church is dependent upon the flnahciin efficiency of each individ ual. Have 1 made my gifts as prompt ly as I could; or have I been in a hurry and said, “Oh, next Sunday will do”? 6. I consider myself a part of my church. How much do I actually know of what my .church is doing? How many members were received into the’ church and how many did I help to bring in? 7. I believe the Master’s last corti- mand, “Go into all the world”- is an order for every Christian to recog nize and to accept—either by going into the firing line, or by holding the; home "base ste^idy and strong.
