J. RAY DAWKINS
Treasurer
B eginning with the first day of
this new year, most American
businesses and industries hung out
an imaginative sign: Business — as
Usual.
And. unless most observers are
wrong, the sign should literally
mean — same as in 1953. There
doesn’t figure to be too much
change. For some, things will be
a little bit better; for others, a
slight decline, but no one expects
any kind of a general recession.
Those on the “inside” say that
home buying will be stimulated
during the year by new housing
legislation providing for less cash
down and longer time to pay.
New heme production for 1953
was estimated at about 1,100,000
units with a combined value of
nearly $12,000,000,000. The National
Association of Home Builders says
the number of new housing starts
in 1954 will run very close to the
same level.
OveraU new construction is ex
pected to drop off slightly, although
the total volume of activity should
remain relatively high. There is
still a tremendous backlog of de
mand for school buildings and a
sizeable demand for various types
of commercial building develop
ments.
An increase of 22,000,000 motor
vehicles in operation today as
compared with the end of World
War II indicates a tremendous
need for additional highway con
struction, including demands for
city streets replanning, parking
facilities, and suburban and rural
roadside projects.
Manufacturing companies expect
sales of most products to be down.
but are looking for a good year,
just the same. Industry experts
say only companies in danger are
those whose break-even points have
risen so high that even a ten to
twenty per cent decline in volume
of sales will put their net operations
into the red.
However, offsetting these view
points are the optimists, who say
that the volume of Christmas re
tail sales indicate increased activi
ty in the months ahead in many
business lines.
One of the better outlooks for
1954 prosperity is enjoyed by the
aviation industry, still heavily
backlogged with both military and
commercial plane orders. Sched
uled airlines had their best year
in history in 1953, are just as con
fident about 1954. Reasons for their
optimism; Airlines are using new
er, more modern planes; world
tensions are easing; personal in
come tax reductions coupled with
American desire to travel; and
improved airline safely records.
In general, economists believe
that 1904 will be a good year,
even as it might fall below the
record prosperity year of 1953,
when the gross national product
(measuring the market value of
all goods and services produced)
totaled $367 billion—the highest on
record. Commerce Secretary Sin
clair Weeks, in his year-end review
hit the key note when he declared:
“Though 1954 may not equal the
all-time record boom of 1953, known
conditions and forseeable pros
pects offer sound reasons for con
tinued realistic optimism that it
will be among the better years of
economic history.”
Rev. Robert H. Harper
Doing tbt Works of God (Tern-
Poranct).
Lesson for January 31: John 5; 2-3,
3-18.
Golden Text: John 10: 10.
The first two verses of the les
son text tell of the pool that stirred
at times by a bubbling up of its
water. The people believed the
bubbling was caused by an angel
and that the first to get into the
pool would be healed.
Lying at the -pool was a poor
afflicted fellow who had suffered
some dread malady for thirty-eight
years and who had never been
able to be the first to step into
the pool after the bubbling of the
water. When Jesus saw the man
and asked him if he desired to be
healed, the poor fellow told of his
failure to get into the pooL Then
Jesus said to him, “Arise, take
up thy bed, and walk.” And at
once the man rejoiced to find that
he could obey. He took up his bed
and walked.
The story indicates that the man
had come into his sad condition
because of his own sins. Perhaps
an evil disease had laid hold of him
because of his vices. While the book
of Job teaches us that suffering is
not necessarily a result and an
evidence of guilt, we can but be
lieve that many diseases are di
rectly the penalty of sin.
Let us see that temperate, sane
living is a good insurance of health
and happiness. There is much truth
in the Japanese proverb. “A noble
soul dwells in a strong body.”
Rightly provided for. the body will
be the dwelling place of all good
things, the fit habitation of God
himself. But abused and broken
by sin, the poor old body will be
come the dwelling of despair.
Lows of Moses
Were Enriched
By Jesus Christ
A COMPETENT Biblical schol-
ar (in Hasting’s Bible Dic
tionary) has set down as the
ideal elements of Jewish Law
(1)‘social justice, (2) purity and
(3) honor.
He credits Moses as propound
ing the laws.
The Ten Commandments are,
of course, the most familiar of
the laws. They have been widely
accepted as a moral code and
variously established in the legal
codes of many lands.
Despite all the moral laxity of
much of modem life, it is still
true that the strength and wel
fare of a people depends upon the
reality with which the essence of
the Ten Commandments is in
grained in the life and practice
of the community.
Integrity to family life, honor
of parents, devotion to children,
regard for the liberties and rights
of others—these are the elements
upon which social strength and
welfare depend.
The extent to which these ele
ments are denied and disregard
ed indicates the depths of weak
ness to which many communi
ties have fallen, and the acute
ness of the problems confronting
society as a whole.
Yet there is something more,
and higher, than the bommand-
ments.
John 1:17 states, “The law was
given by Moses, but grace and
truth came by Jesus Christ.”
This does not mean that Jesus
originated grace and truth, but
that He, as He Himself said, ful
filled what was inherent in the
law.
For the New Testament every
where represents the fulfillment
of the law in the commandment
of love—“Thou shalt,” instead of
only “Thou shalt not.'*
The Ten Commandments would
establish correctness of life. The
law. of love would give that life
fulness in the growth of grace
and knowledge.
