SMALL BUSINESS
" by l'lednu W. Bennett
' i|WTi7|
And I will give them a heart
to know Me, that I am the
LORD: and they shall be My
people, and I will be their God:
for they shall return unto Me
with their whole heart. Jer. 24:7.
To prepare the children of Is-
rael for the temporal blessing of
deliverance out of bondage, God
gave them the spiritual blessing
of a new heart.
"And I will give them a heart
to know Me." A new heart is
God's gift to His people; but if
God doesn't give us a new heart
to know Him, we will perish for-
ever in our ignorance. We cannot
change our stony hearts to hearts
of flesh; we can only pray for
God's grace to work that change
in our stony hearts. Now when
we are given a heart to know
God, we will have such know-
ledge of God's mercy and grace
and love that our every-day lives
will be changed to walk accord-
ing to God's will.
"They shall return unto Me
with their whole heart." When
we return to God with our whole
hearts, then we are truly convert-
ed—God's Word will be our rule;
His service will be our business;
His glory will be our aim in life.
"They shall be My people, and
I will be their God." How mar-
velous to know that Gud will be-
stow His grace upon us, will be
merciful to us, will accept our
prayers, will be our God!
Therefore, let us claim His pro-
mise as our prayer; "And I will
give them one heart, and I will
put a new spirit with you; and
I will take the stony heart out
of their flesh, and will give them
an heart of flesh: that they may
walk in My statutes, and keep
Mine ordinances, and do them:
and they shall be My peopl° and
I will be their God," Ezek 11:19-20
By C. WILSON HARDER
By a majority of 88%, the
nation's independent business
and professional people, voting
through the National Federa-
tion of Independent Business,
have approved a resolution in-
troduced into the House of Rep-
resentatives by Rep. Herlong
calling for a constitutional
a m e n d m e ntf;""-"'^
to place a
limit on so-
cial security
taxes.
* + *
While many
expressed dis-
like for th<
limits pro-
posed in thi-
Herlong res-
olution, it was C. W. Harder
felt that unless there is speed-
ily enacted some safeguard, the
socialist schemers within the
present ranks of American bu-
reaucrats could push social se-
curity taxes up to a level al-
most equal income taxes.
* * *
The Herlong proposal would
make it impossible to raise the
employer - employee tax to
more than 10% and Vk% for
the self-employed.
* * *
As it stands now, the social
r rity tax which started very
sjmall, has grown like Topsy un-
til today it is up to 6%% and
will hit 9Vt>7c by 1969.
* * *
Without a constitutional
amendment limiting amount
bureaucrats can tap the na-
tion's payrolls, there is no esti-
mating where it could stop.
* * *
As it stands now, there Is
nothing to prevent hiking social
security taxes to provide free
beer, free vacations, free wigs,
or anything free.

Some of these items may
sound ridiculous, yet are they?
Many union contracts now pro-
vide vacation expenses for the
worker, others provide the em-
ployee with a day off with full
pay on his or her birthday,
others provide for free psy-
chiatric care, thus it becomes
difficult to establish any point
at which matters become too
ridiculous for consideration.
♦ *
The Income tax started as a
modest little affair fifty years
ago, has now become one of
most dominant factors in all ec-
onomic and business planning.
* * *
There seems but little doubt
that if years ago there had been
enacted a maximum income
tax rate, American nation would
be in different position today.
♦ * *
But it is doubtful that any-
one ever dreamed that Ameri-
can wealth would be siphoned
off by the Income tax to throw
almost 100 billion dollars
around in global give away
programs. Neither was it per-
haps even wildly dreamed that
Americans would be taxed to
pick up travel tab around the
world of Dixieland jazz bands.
♦ * *
Thus, it is quite logical to
stop social security tax in-
creases now.
* * •
After all, there will always
be politicians eager to buy
block of votes with the people's
money. As the Wyoming Car
Dealers' Association recently
pointed out, it seems more than
a mere coincidence that every
expansion of social security In
the past ten years, with the ex-
ception of one, was done in an
election year.

March 23, 1941 (Sunday)—Ap-
pointed by the King as Day of
National Prayer.
Many blessings had followed
the previous Days of Prayer. Not
only had the Royal Air Force
beaten the enemy out of the day-

had passed the L2nd-Lcase Act,
by which 2 009 million sterling
were to be loaned to defend our
liberties. Thus, prayers and
thanksgiving for mercies received
were offered up.
Within a week came our victory
over the Italian fleet at Matapan,
when the British ships suffered
not a single casualty or even a
scratch on the paint of any of
them.
In June came something else.
Hitler launched his attack on
Russia, which diverted his air
assault from us. Was not the
Hand of God in all this?
September 7, 1941 (Sundays-
Day of Prayer by Desire of the
King.
Raids by the Luftwaffe had al-
most ceased, so that British pre-
parations for defense and victory
went on unhindered. Then Japan
entered the war, by striking a
sudden blow at the United States
at Pearl Harbor (December 7,
1941), and the United States be-
came our ally.
Churchill at once went to Wash-
ington for a Conference of War.
In his third volumne of "The Sec-
ond World War" he tells us how
he and President Roosevelt went
to church together on Christmas
Day, "and I found peace in the
simple service." Next day, upon
addressing the Congress of the
United States, he uttered the
memorable words: "He must in-
deed have a blind soul who can-
not see that some great purpose
and design is being worked out
here below, of which we have the
honor to be the faithful servants".
March 29. 1942 (Sunday)—Day
of Prayer by Desire of the King.
In a broadcast the evening
beforehand, the King said:
"In our prayers let us thank
Almighty God for bringing us
thus far in safety through so
many dangers, and let us ask
Him to give us spiritual strength."
Again the days were critical,
Japan's forces were surging south-
wards, sweeping all before them.
But two deliverances were noted
almost immediately. In New Gui-
nea, floods drove the Japs to their
bases and gave the time so vitally
needed for reorganizing Austra-
lia's defenses. In North Africa the
German attack was stopped just
west of the Nile. In the months
that followed a halt was called
to enemy aggression. The God of
battles had said: "Thus far and
no farther."
September 3, 1942 (Thursday)—
Day of Prayer by King's Com-
mand.
Led by the King, Queen and
Members of the Government, the
people of Britain, in churches,
chapels, barnyards, workshops,
homes and cinemas, on this third
anniversary of the war, rededicat-
ed themselves and prayed for
victory. It was the 'seventh' Na-
tional Day of Prayer and the
date, it has been said, marked
the turning point of the war.
September 3, 1942 brought news
that Rommel had been repulsed
in Egypt. Two months later the
German armies were in full re- "
treat. By the middle of the fol-
lowing May, not a German or
Italian fighting man remained in
Africa!
When the United States expedi-
tionary force for North Africa,
in their troopships, was approach-
ing its destination, Washington
and London meteorological reports ;
received at the time advised-
"Surf 15 feet high; landings im-
possible." Admiral Hewitt was
faced with a most difficult deci-
sion. To attempt to land in ad-
verse weather might be disastrous,
and so also were alternatives -
which presented themselves. What
was he to do? The Admiral chose
the bolder course and risked the
w?fithT. As h* the
coast, lo, fair weather and a
smooth sea! Churchill refers to
these landings as "a brilliant
success."
"Only the thoughtless can fail
to realize how great a part Pro-
vidence has played in the swift*'
and successful transformation of
the war. . . . The Allied General
Staff had been warned that the
swell would probably be too high
for landing operations. So it was
—with the exception of the date
for which the landing had been
planned.
"In this skeptics may see no
more than fortunate coincidence;
but it is not the only feature that
will suggest to others the need
for experssing gratitude to God."
Thus wrote G. Ward Price, in
the Daily Mail, under the head-
ing, "Make it a Call to Prayer"
(Nov. 14, 1942).

mind someone of the ancient
worthies." And so it is with great
eras and mighty events in our
history. For there is much truth
in the words chiseled on a build-
ing in Washington — WHAT IS
PAST IS PROLOGUE.
Let us be grateful enough and
wise enough to realize and ac-
knowledge that we are what we
are in our great Country because
of the principles and deeds of our
fathers who came to the New
World to find a place where they
could worship God according to
the dictates of their own con-
science and live their lives by the
high ideals of life they held.
We believe that the ideals they
held and the principles they de-
clared partook of the eternal and
are applicable to us today.
