For us practical men it will be helpful to read what Jehovah pro mised Joshua; “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy i mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to I all that is written therein”: (If we have followed this carefully it will maks us ask ourselves “Well, what is the promise if all that were done”?) Here it follows: “For then thou shalt make thy way prosper ous, and then thou shalt have good success." And the practical part is that we need a “prosperous way,” a life of “good success", founded on the Eternal Rock, instead of on the sands of time. I do not have to apologize for discussing the faith of our fathers or the “Author and Finisher of our faith.” I feel a refreshing thrill when I read the sublime and heroic expressions of Moses. “As thy days, so shall thy strength be . . . The external God is thy ref uge, and underneath are the ev erlasting arms.” That was what Moses said after a long service and when he looked forward to his un known burial place in a valley in the land of Moab. * * • It is a mistake to publish the earnings of big enterprises, I think, because they are misleading. After the Governments take their taxes the stockholders don’t share as handsomely as the figures might indicate. Sometimes a large com pany will publish reports of a lar ger volume of sales than ever be fore, then will show smaller prof its. I recently read statements of several great power companies, all showing more business than ever before, and all showing smaller profits. Many companies spent mil lions of dollars for coal because of low water. One thing you notice; they pay their taxes; it is the own ers who bear the loss. • * • Someone should keep a firm hand on our National Government. It is so large that the Congress men can’t tell what is what. I ven ture the guess that the Treasury has hundreds of accounts and hundreds of balances that Congress doesn’t know at all. And the Gov ernment has made loans of bil lions of dollars that are repaid or not, and Congress doesn’t know about them. And the Government gives away hundreds of millions— and Congress can’t keep up with those details, either. Who really knows what is going on? We are still giving billions away in the somewhat childish idea that we can lift all the earth on our road to prosperity, but we still have money to give to Europe, shoulders. Europe is on the high Consider this: “The Marshall Plan forever? The Truman administration’s an swer to that question appears to be yes.
