WOMEN* watch your BOWELS What should women dc to keep their bowels moving freely? A doctor should know the answer. That is why pure Syrup Pepsin is so good for women. It just suits their delicate -organism. It is the prescription of an old family doctor who has treated thousands of w’omen patients, and whi made a special study of bowel troubles. It is fine for children, too. They love its taste. Let them have it every time their tongues are coated or their skin ; is sallow.

Is Forecast XBE MESSENGER DOES HIGH* GRADE COMMERCIAL PRINTING AT REASONABLE PRICES. SEND US TOUR NEXT ORDER. Production of tobacco in the United States during 1931 will amount to 1,525,000,000, pounds, an increase of 20,000,000 pounds over 1930, according to estimates by the Department of Agriculture. In creases in the use of cigarettes which are attributed by authori ties in the industry to the removal of harsh irritants by modern methods of manufacture such as the toasting process including the use of ultra violet rays are res ponsible for the increase in the leaf tobacco production. Larger quantities of flue-cured tobacco, which is used principally in cigar ette manufacture, are being ex ported and this with the increase in domestic use is bringing addi tional dollars to the American far mer’s pocket. Tobacco production in the United States this year will set a new record and will be almost 200,000,000 pounds over the five- year average between 1925 and 1929 of 1,357,000,000 pounds.

STEPHENSON President American Bankers Association QOME look upon unemployment as a ^ social or political problem. For them the remedy is compulsory accu mulation of re serve funds on the insurance principle through c o n t r i b u ti ons from the govern ment, the employ ers, the employ ees or all three. That will not meet the present emergency, since these reserve funds have not been built up and it would take years to do so. At best this plan could only become effective at some indefinite time in the future as against the re turn of another catastrophe of general unemployment. Others look upon unem ployment as purely an economic prob lem, holding that the only fundamen tal preventive is in business stability. It may well be asked whether either of these cures—namely, the creation of unemployment insurance funds on the one hand or the maintenance of ever lasting business stability on the other —do not present in themselves bigger problems than the problems they seek to cure. However I am inclined to the belief that the more practical ap proach to the solution of such prob lems and the prevention of such situa tions as general unemployment pre sents is along the latter lines of eco nomic foresight rather than along lines of social legislation. National Foresight Economic foresight is conceivable not only for the individual but for busi ness as a whole. Millions of indi viduals and virtually all lines of in dustry failed to practice it during the last stages of the recent prosperity. The public welfare of the United States demands that industry as a whole vigorously and sincerely devote itself to the development of plans of economic foresight, aimed to prevent repetitions of the present unemploy ment situation. The general outlines for such plans are clearly definable. They demand that industry adopt a long range viewpoint and lay out its production and distribution plans with the thought that it is far better to have a long period of* good sound busi ness activity than a short period of frantically over-competitive endeavor. This would tend to lessen over-pro duction in various lines, to prevent over-expansion of plant capacity, to avoid over-stimulation of public buj*- ing and above all to avoid periods of slumps and stagnation following pe riods of over-stimulation with their disasters of unemployment. For business, too, there is a part in such a conception of economic fore sight. It should aim to cooperate with industry in its endeavor to avoid reck less over-production, over-stocking and over-selling the public. In this picture of national economic prudence, banking and finance, too, have their place. Their effort should be to influence the use of credit and other financial facilities into Channels of sound public economy consistent with the attitude I have already sketched for industry and trade. All finance, whether current commercial banking or industrial investment banking, should seek by their influ ence in granting or witholding credit to stimulate and build up a balanced economic situation. The Individual Must Help Finally, the individual too has a place in any such plan of a sounder eco nomic future for the United States. It is the duty of the individual to make every effort to take care of him self and provide for himself. Neither government nor industry can do that for him. They can give him the- op portunity to succeed but they can't succeed for him. He must out of his own initiative and effort earn and create his own means and defenses against the requirements and contin gencies of life. Individual determination to provide against sickness, accident and death by insurance before indulgences in extra comforts and luxuries are given place in the family budget, and indi vidual responsibility to guard against the contingency of unemployment by means of a sound program of thrift and savings are to iny mind the true foundation of ewaonric stability for the United States as a whole. A limestone spreader, owned by a bank in Illinois is rented out to farm ers for ten cents a ton, and also a phosphate spreader at five cents a ton. The “limestone project” was the prin cipal contribution of the bank to banker-farmer work, during 1930, and was carried on in cooperation with the Farm Bureau. A man trained in the testing of soil, and in the making of soli maps was employed by the bank. The unit maps used covered forty acres, on which 23 surface tests were made at mathematical points. At five other points three tests were made— surface, sub-surface, and sub-soil. The completed map showed, by varying shadings of red, the points which needed limestone.

In taking the gospel to the Samari tans we see the broadening of the scope of Christianity. Philip was one of the seven so-called deacons. He went to Samaria and preached Christ showing that God’s purpose included these despised people. Christ is the true message of the evangelist. Not Christ as an ethical teacher or as an example, but Christ as the Savior from sin through the offering of himself on the cross as a substitutionary ransom. II. Philip Preaching to the Ethiopian (Acts 8:26-39). Following tfie preaching to the Sa maritans, the gospel was preached to the Ethiopian who was in all proba bility a Gentile. In his conversion we see the gospel in its outreach to the ends of the earth. 1. Philip meeting the Ethiopian (vv. 26-30). a. Leaving work by divine direction (v. 26). The Lord called Philip away from a great work In Samaria and specifically directed him to this man. The Spirit of God directed him to go near and join himself to the chariot. The tactful question. put to the treas urer gained him a seat by his side. The mission which at first seemed so unpromising was now clear. b. An officer of state seeking the way of salvation (vv. 27. 28). The Ethiopian had been to Jerusalem to worship. Despite his high official po sition he was not ashamed of the worship of God. The journey from that far-off country required hardship and expense, but to one whose soul .yearns after God this is all joy. c. A providential meeting in the ?d«s- ert (vv. 21). 30). The^comlng together of these two men was clearly the pre determined way of God. 2. Philip preaching to the Ethiopian (vv. 30-35). a. The Ethiopian’s employment on the way (v. 30). He was reading the Word of God. The particular portion was the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah. A most excellent way to <spend one’s time while traveling Is tr» read God’s Word. It is through God’s Word that the individual is shown the way of life. b. The need of an interpreter (v. 31). The Ethiopian was reading one of the dearest testimonies to the Messiah in the Old Testament, yet he was unable to understand it. The Ethiopian, a great statesman, needed an interpreter of the Scriptures. The gospel needs to be experienced before one can be a witness to its saving pow er. The human mind in its natural state Is blind to spiritual things, mak ing the work of an evangelist indis pensable. Preaching the Word of God will always be necessary. God has designed that through the foolishness of preaching, men shall he saved. Val uable, indeed, as the Bible is in the hands of men. the touch and influence of the believing man who has experi enced the work of God in Ids own heart is needed. e. Philip’s message (vv. 32-35). He began at the scripture which the Ethiopian was reading and preached unto him Jesus# This shows us that the person presented in the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah as suffering in the stead of others was Jesus Christ, also that the central rheme of the preach er’s message should he Christ crucified. Ho did not preach Jesus as a great teacher, but as a Savior who had suf fered and died in the stead of sinners. The vicarious atonement is a note which is at the very 'heart of the message of every evangelist. 3. Philip baptized the Ethiopian (vv. 36-38). As a result of Philip’s preaching, the eunuch proposed bap tism. When Christ is truly received men will desire to confess him in baptism. Where this desire is lacking the gospel in its fullness is evidently not preached. The Ethiopian might h@ve offered many excuses as to why he should neglect this important ordi nance. but like every man who is hon est before God, he was willing at any cost to render obedience. 4. The Ethiopian rejoicing (v. 39). Having been baptized, he went on his way rejoicing. Confession of Christ and obedience to his Word always brings joy. Worry Oh, If religion can only rid us of this cursed habit of worry, what a blessing it will be! And Paul says it can.
