prove that we have made pro-

any happier today with his

Is he more secure in his home
and his freedom than were
the ancient Egyptians? 13

his long hours and days of

were wise men, there were
poets, there were musicians,
there were architects and en-
gineers and builders when
history first records man's
existence on earth. The ruin3
of Baalbek, of Babylon and
Nineveh and the standing
pyramids of Egypt testify
eloquently of the prowess of
long - perished races. En-
gineers today wonder how
the great stones, sixty feet
long and twelve feet thick,
were moved across long dis-
tances and raised to their
places by Baalbek’s builders.
Men wonder how the pyra-
mids were built, and wonder
more where and how the
Sphynx was carved. The
genius that builded Babel was
the equal of the genius that
constructed Radio City.
But we of today boast of
our progress. We point to
the steam and electricity that
prupcl gi cat Vcooclo around
the world, and send long
trains of cars across a conti-
nent. We are proud that we
have learned to make ma-
chines that fly and carry
great loads of inerchand se,
or great numbers of people,
around the worid. We take
delight in the fact that we
harness the lightning and
make it carry our messages
and our voices to the further-
est outposts of civilization.

Have we progressed so far
that we spurn the use
force to accomplish our own
selfish ends, gratify our self-
ish ambitions and our indi-
vidual lusts? Your radio and
your daily papers answer that
question.
Have we progressed to that
point where individuals or
aggregations of individuals
think of the interests of oth-
ers while seeking their own?
The reply comes in the rec-
ords of strikes, of profiteer-
ing, of constant effort of one
class to gain advantage over
another class.

are true, we have not made

Expert Says Best
Driver Cannot
“Stop-on a Dime”
The time to step on the
brakes is before it’s too lato’
“1 can stop on a dime'” is a
common saying, but a long
way from the truth, even
with perfect brakes, says the
Public Safety Department of
the Southern California Auto-
mobile Club.
If you’re an average driver,
it takes you three-fourths of
a second to get your foot
on the brake after you see
danger.
That means that in about
the time it takes you to say
“60 miles,” a car going at
that speed covers 42 feet.
Now you have your foot on
the brake pedal; the pave-
ment is smooth and dry; it
will still require 218 feet
more to stop all that horse-
power under that hood! That
is a total of 290 feet, accord-
ing to calculations. And if
the pavement is wet, or your
brakes or tires or you, the
driver, are not up to stan-
dard, then look out!
Even at 30 miles an hour
the distance . required for
stopping under perfect condi-
tions is figured at 83 feet.

of the Methodist church gave
a total of $90,323,961 for all
church purposes during the
year ending May 31, 1941, ac-
cording to Treasurer O. W.
Auman of Chicago. Of this
amount $4,166,262, or 55
cents per member, were giv-
en for the general benevo-
icuCca Ox uic church and
$946,331 were given for aid
to the Methodists in Great
Britain, for war sufferers in
China and in Europe, and for
religious-social facilities for

The Rev. Walter Clarence
Wynn, negro Baptist minister
of Providence, R. I., has been
appointed a missionary of the
American Board of Commis-
sioners for Foreign Mission*
(Congregational) and will
shortly sail with his wife for
Galangue, Went Africa, for
educational and evangelistic
service. Galangue is one of
the outstanding Christian na-

being sharply increased, but,
even so, no one group can
possibly pay the entire sum.
There are not enough rich
people in America for that.
As a matter of fact, the total
incomes for a year of all
Americans earning $10,000 a
year and over would meet
government expenditures for
only two months.
W’hilp paving an income
tax will be a new experience
for tiie iow income group, ac-
tually they have paid direct
federal taxes on cigarettes,
gasoline, theatre admissions
and other items in the past,
and have also paid hidden
taxes in connection with ev-
ery loaf of bread, pair of
shoes and almost every other
article they buy. Such rev-
enue, however, no longer pro-
duces sufficient funds for
regular federal expenditures,
plus defense, and so income
taxes must be lined to take
care of the rising costs of
government.
How much those costs have
risen is evident from the fact
that at the turn of the cen-
