Independence

The broad, level road at the top of the cliff is typical of financial independence. The toilin g masses of this country should be on that height, but have never been able to reach it heretofore because no system of finance ap- plicable to their peculiar needs and conditions had been devised for their relief. Such a system, however, has been in use in Europe for great many years, and is known as industrial bank ng-for instance, in France, where the thrift of her peasants enabed her to pay off the stagger- ing indemnity levied by Germany in 1870 and is furnishing her the "sinews of war" to carry on the gigantic conflict in which she is now engaged. THE TRUSTEES SYSTEM embodies the best fea- lures of industrial banking as practiced on the continent, with some notifications which add to it's safety and strength.
 For many years the American working man has believed that he had only one asset-HIS JOB. At any rate, he has found that this is the only collateral with which he could secure loans in times of urgent need and distress. It has always been "good" with the loan shark, but once pledged to this usurer it is seldom reclaimed. and the borrower sooner or later found that he had sold himself into the most abject form of slavery.
 Character is Collateral
 THE TRUSTEES SYSTEM, by letting the working man know that CHARACTER IS COLLAT- ERAL on which he can borrow from this Company and by ar ranging the terms of the loan so that he can meet it in pay ments adjusted to his income, has

 the Northern Presbyterian church).
 What are creed tests for?
 Tie church ought often to ask itself that question.
 An ever reappearing weakness of hu- man nature is Its disposition to get in- terested in symbols and forget the things symboiized.
 Thus the miser hoads gold and has no wealth; the pedant accumuiates knowl- edge and gets no wisdom, the demagogue fashions instruments of popular govern ment and fails to develop public spirit.
 Tn precisely the same way the theolog- ian often exercises himself to produce and protect a strictly orthodox regularity in mems profession of the creeds, and gets so busy about 1t that he never stops to inquire if the men who accept the creeds are making them count for any body's salvation.
 This saying must not be interpreted as dispara cement of formal theology, Christians who love the Lord with all their minds can't fail to make the best effort their brains are capable of toward outlining the truths which they under stand the Bible to teach.
 Moreover. and emphatically, any group of Christians who may sight a brother branching off on what looks to be road of misleading thought, ought to go after him and try to bring him back.
 There is no use pretending that it is just as wholesome In Gods world to believe something which is not so as to believe the truthful fact. And hunting to discover the eternal fact of things is a quest from which no high-minded serv- ant of God ought ever to permit himself to rest
 But the point of warning for the church is that this intellectual quest must not become it's principal business.
 The church gets down to a second grade plane when it permits creed making, creed protection, intact logic. impregna- bie philosophy, regularized thinking, any, thing intellectual, to engross it.

Protect Your Eyes From the Movies
 From the Journal of American Medical


 Association.
 The progress made in the character of subjects presented in the movies today makes it desirable for all inquiring people to at least attend occasionally Annoying after-effect on the eyes of many prevent them from enjoying the social diversion and often the educational advantages thus derived. The great majority of those who suffer from eye strain after watching moving pictures can find much, if not complete, relief in perfectly fitted glasses. The picture may not be quite so sharp, but this is more than compensated for by the increased comfort. For those with very sensitive eyes a colored glass, either amber, yellowish green or amethyst may be necessary to give complete relief. There have been put on the market re- gently several varieties of colored glass, each of which has some advantages, so that some suitable color can usually be secured A subdued light in the theatre is much less irritating than when the only light visible comes from the screen. It is also advisable to avoid sitting in a place where it is necessary to ook-up- ward, as the additional strain becomes very tiresome and frequently leaves a headache.

Snatched From The Quicksand
le Story of Thrilling Rescue
When Hope Had Fled

As this man walked on, the sun went behind cloud and the road became dark before him. He had a good face, but it was lined with care. His shoulders were dropped and his step slow and tagging, as If he felt the weight of a heavy load. His clothes were clean, but inexpensive. In a word, he was one of the millions of honest workers whose daily toll keeps the world moving.
 The road became more difficult as the wayfarer went on, until he paused in perplexity. Above him there was a cliff, on the face of which was a smooth, broad high way, but with no path leading to it. The road turned abruptly at this point and descended to the long stretch of sand on the sea- shore. With one glance upward the man went down and was soon walking by the side of the sea. His progress was slow, as he could scarcely maintain his foothold in the shifting sands. He could not turn back, however, for he must reach the destination ahead of him, where his wife and children anxiously awaited his coming.

changed the situation for the working men of the Birmingham District as completely as the land scape undergoes transformation from darkness to light when the sun emerges from a cloud. It is putting new heart into the dis couraged, and is causing eyes which were dull with care and de- spair to glow with the light of hope and to look to higher achievements in life

In the Quicksand

Suddenly he became conscious that he had stopped walking. He tried to lift his feet, but it was as if tons of lead had been fixed to them. He continued to struggle but found himself drawn down. ward by some awful suction, and the terrible fact dawned on him that he was in the grip of the quicksand. He shouted for help but the only response was the hoarse murmur of the waves and the discordant shriek of the wind. Inch by inch he went down, and fainter grew his cries until, at last, he had sunk to his waist in the liv- ing tomb. With the energy of de- spair he raised his voice once more, and this time came the re- sponse, HOOK UP!" On the edge of the cliff above there were a group of men. In the hands of one was a rope. Catch this!' he cried, as he slGIlfuliy threw the rope toward the victim, "and slip the moose under your arm." The rope fell right and the sinking man grasped it. and was SAVED.
 The descent of the rescuers to the seashore and what they did subsequently, is of no importance in this narrative. The man was SAVED WHEN HE CAUGHT THE ROPE; the rest is merely de- tail.
 Some readers will say this story is purely imaginary. Others will even go so far as to declare that men never have been lost in quick sands, just as others have said that sharks never attack human beings. This incident may never

Unlimited Possibilities

1no rescue or wage edfnofS from the slavery of usury is the first and simplest step in the TRUSTEES SYSTEM the pos abilities of industrial banking are unlimited. In this, and a previous article, we have directed attention to the loan shark, be- cause we believe the public should be awakened to the nature. of the evil, and of the cure which we are suppying for it. When we say that every citizen in the Bir- mingham District has an inter est in the protection of the work ing men from usury, and suf- fers either directly or indirectly from the loss in efficiency which is the sequence of hopeless debt, we are stating a fact which thoughtful persons will admit without argument.
 We are not posing as philan- thropists, although much of our work has been done along the lines which philanthropy has earnestly, but unsuccessfully, en- deavored to follow. We believe, as someone has said appropriately, that "the noblest charity is that which teaches man to help him. self. This the TRU STEES SYSTEM is doing by requiring each borrower to save something as he pays off his loan, so that when his debt is cancelled he has been transformed from a thought less spender into systematic saver; and enters upon new era of usefulness not only to himself, but to the community.
 Citizen Salvage
 We are making money while doing this service for the individ- ual and the community. The profit on a single transaction is, of course. small, but when the in stances are multiplied the show ing is very substantial and grati- flying. The law of compensation is immutable. You cannot help another without being benefited in some way yourself. In assist ing the Wage-earners and salaried men to apply business methods to the management of their own af- fairs we have established lucra- tive business and continually growing business s-for ourselves.

A Perfect Alleg0ry

Hundreds of men are sinking daily into the quicksand of debt. Like this traveller, they halt and look longingly at the high level where the road is firm and broad, but they can see no way to reach it, and so have to descend to the seashore, where they finally wan der into the quicksand, which is symbolical of the methods of the loan shark. Some of them have gone down entirely Others are still struggling, but are held fast in the remorseless grip of usurious interest, without ray of light to brighten their outlook. Others, however, have heard the welcome cry, HOOK UPw and have caught the rope thrown to them. That rope was the TRUSTEES SYSTEM.
