It has been estimated that out of every $100 of income here in America, $22 is spent for luxuries, and only $.75 is donated to the Churches. In a recent year our people spent $1,847,000,000 for tobacco, more than was set aside for education and religion combined. It each of us would make a definite record of what we spend for the crea ture comforts of life, in comparison with what we give to those institu tions that permanently enrich life, the figures would be very revealing. In this day of'acute distress Christ is calling upon us to live simp- ^ ^ ly, that we may make genuine sacrifices for those in need. No longer i ng r^ on must our wealth remain undedicated.
