road to collapse and depression, must have the restraint that these meas ures or some of them afford. All our varied interest groups will have to be big enough to submit to this one defi nite purpose. The problem is essen tially Complex "and puzzling. A Chris tian observes the greed ;of men, real izes his personal temptation to self ishness, reads God’s Word, and rec ognizes the truth of such words as Jeremiah 17:9, 10, “The heart is de ceitful above all things, and desper ately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart.” Uncle Sam anust release some of his wheat supply. Our supply in gov ernment hands is the largest on rec ord. Food is more abundant than ever; record crops are with us. Infla tion does not thrive when an abun dant food supply is distributed. Sane policies engaged in by Washington can do wonders here. Policing and regulating prices is a very complex business. The law of supply and demànd only works when there are free forces, and these are not with us today. “Weak-kneed, piecemeal, half - hearted” „ measures abound and must be replaced with stern measures.

Then, too,'we must constantly look for ways and means to reach incomes, reduce purchasing power, prevent larg er corporation earnings. with higher taxes, see to it that there are lower personal income tax . exemptions for Mr. and Mrs. Public, and plug up thé loopholes whenever they show up. At the same time, let it be remembered that whatever measures are taken will be difficult to enforce during the'con fusion and stress of war-time effort. How we wish we were as sure about the outcome of all of this serious eco nomic side of things as we are of the record which God has given 'us re garding everlasting life! When one wades through the morass of econom ics, twisted as they are today, it is indeed refreshing to come back to a Bible passage Such as John 5:24, “Ver ily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my ' word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condem nation; but is passed from death unto life.” Thank God for the “safety, cer tainty, and 'enjoyment” belonging to the Bible Christian. In addition to holding on to this rich heritage, let Us have renewed zeal in the spreading of the “good news.”
