ers as well as m inisters who are not burdened w ith an over-abundance of m aterial and who wish to be able to pu t th e ir hands upon a given item when it is needed. Mr. Brooks, who as a w riter and teacher has worked out the most sim ple and efficient methods for locating m aterial for his own use, decided to give others the benefit of his plans. His topical index, comprising a strong canvas-bound pinchback binder, (not ring binder) w ith a supply of special ruled sheets for indexing, can be pur-
ohased complete for only $3.00. F o r the ordinary worker th is outfit will be sufficient for a lifetime of gathering, bu t the system can be bu ilt up indefi nitely by simply purchasing additional index paper. Mr. Brooks contends th a t it is b etter to have a dozen illus tration s th a t can be in stan tly located th an a million th a t must be ransacked un til one develops nervous p ro stra tion. Anyone interested may w rite to Mr. Brooks, who is secretary of the Correspondence School of th e Bible In stitu te.
AS TOLD B Y T H EM S E L V E S Let those who doubt th a t in te rn a tional influences are concentrating th e ir power upon the United States consider: 1st, T h at Soviet Russia has organ-' ized six Soviets representing 150 mil lions of people and has extended or ganizations which now direct one-sixth of th e te rrito ry and population of the world; 2nd, T hat th e Communist P arty in P rance has become a m ilitan t p arty ; 3rd, T hat the Communist P arty in Germany is the leader of th e prole ta ria t; 4th, T hat in G reat B ritain, the left wing of th e Labor P arty is working for Communist control; 5th, That the Communist P arty of America is back of the form ation of the F ederated F arm er-Labor P arty, Trade Union Educational League, F riends of Soviet Russia, and the Con ference for Progressive Political Action. It is self-evident th a t “a mere hand ful of revolutionaries” has not w rought these vast results, bu t th a t they are the outcome of deep-seated forces Which for years have intrenched themselves and have today a united front' in th e principal countries of Europe and in the United States. It is only common sense for Amer icans who regard lightly a summary of evidences and who deride possibil ities of serious danger to realize th a t th e menace has been g reatly under estimated. W ith th e avowed purpose of “ destroying every modern form of government except Sovietism,” abol ishing “capitalism ” a n d creating “ class h a tre d ” and “ class ru le,” it is tragic th a t anyone who believes in conserving th e stabilities of civiliza tion should blindly approve issues which involve nation-wide calam ities. — B etter America Federation. T H E NA T IONA L D E B T The gross debt of the United States August 31st, 1919, was $26,596,701,- 648. June 30th, 1924, it was $21,- 250,812,980, a reduction of over five and a q u arte r billions^ of dollars. The T reasury D epartm ent states th a t under its program , w ith consis te n t economies and no unforeseen haz ards, the entire public debt should be cancelled in a period of 25 years. N EW E F F IC IE N C Y TOOL A member of our faculty, Mr. K eith L. Brooks, has ju st perfected a labor- saving device for the use o f preachers and teachers which we believe will prove, a g reat blessing to Christian workers in systematizing th e ir work. There are various indexing systems on the m arket to assist w orkers in tabu lating th e ir m aterial for ready refer ence bu t some of these have been found too complicated and expensive for the ordinary person. F o r those who have compiled a vast am ount of m aterial, such a system as the Wilson Topical and Textual Index is neces sary, bu t th ere has been an increasing demand for a simpler system th a t could be used by Sunday school teach
