THE CROW'S=NEST

Running through several numbers OF
the Saturday Evening Post is a serial
story by Cora Harris which has many
Quotable passages about churches and
church experiences. The principal
character in the story has this to say
about her church in the little village ia
which she lived: IF it should be
RACED to the ground by some disaster,
we would rebuild it at once and kinole
the fires of our faith upon its altar
with the same prayers and feuds We
have in it now. What is more TO the
point, if there was not a single church,
nor a single processing Christian m
this town the very sinners would get
together and build a house of worship.
| have observed this, the coolest "a
tionalists, the atheists and ~agnostics,
always elect TO live in Christian COM
munities. Nobody ever heard of a
community composed only of these ele-
ments holding together, because such
people cannot bear one another, not
for half the life length of one little viii
lage church. Anyone sufficiently fool
ish and hide bound by his own limit
ed faculties may prove to his satisfac-
ton that there is no life after this life,
that man is himself only the diseased
proud flesh of the dust from which he
springs and to which he springs and
to which he returns. But when he has
thus squandered the illusions of faith
there remains something homeless in
him which he cannot domesticate in
rationalism or learning, or even in his
natural affections. He cannot satisfy
it with worldly fortunes, nor shelter
it in his place of business, nor keep it
at home with him. He needs a first
day-of-the-week refuge for this thing,
whatever it is, though it may be dor
mant the remaining six days under the
pressure of strictly carnal circum-
stances. This is why-nen build
churches they never attend. The thing
which they will not call the soul
takes a mean, vicarious satisfaction in
knowing that it has a refuge. Deep in
the heart of every one-lies the de-
sire for his W personal a~bsolution."

ness men 20 slow money is apt to pile
up in the banks and investments DRAG.
Uncertainty takes the place of push,
and business progress to a
standstill. At such times there is as
much money as ever, but il is not in
circulation or active use. The dollar
which keeps moving in the channels of
trade spells prosperity, not the idle
dollar. When bank loans are almost
up TO deposits ii is evident that the
banks money is at work and in active
circulation. People are using it in
their business, in their building or TO
acquire more property. Prosperity is
always present where money is active,
not because money means prosperity
but because it is the carrier on which
prosperity rides, the measure OF value
and the instrument with which we
wipe out debts.

her father stood on the street talking
to a girl. She was drinking in his

her daily happiness. Instead of re-

How Many Women
Are i'm Trouble
Today?
BY j. Il. HAMILTON
FUrmer Advertising Manager of Wanamaker's, Philadelphia

All of you women whose husbands have told you you have been
spending too much money, please stand up. Great Scott! Every
married woman in America is on her feet.
All you who are earning your own living and spending as
much as you earn please stand up.
Now we've got the rest of them.
well" you say, nov that you've got us standing here what
are you gong to do about it?'
I'm going to give you the first law of business:
Cut your expenses down first, and then find out how you can
do it afterward.
Every big institution carries what it calls a "butcher."
When the expenses of that institution begin to eat up the
profits the "butcher" issues a sweeping order to cut down so many
hundreds of dollars a day. He doesn't ask how it can be done.
He knows it has to be done if his business is going to continue,
and he leaves it to the people under him to find out how.
This cutting seldom if ever ruins a business. 1t simply
sharpens the wits of those who are left.
Now let's take your case. Instead of taking the money that
you think you ought to have, suppose you take the money that
you have actually got. In your case, being both "butcher' and
buyer, you naturally have to sharpen your own wits.
Therefore the first thing you begin to do each day Gust as you
are going to do now in a minute or two S to open this paper and
see what special inducement each store is offering in the things
that are necessary for you to buy. You look for the clothes, and
the shoes, the childrens dresses and suits, the underwear, the
house needs, and all of the various necessities and luxuries de-
handed in your standard of life.
The next thing to do is to cut out all those ~snobbish, exclu-
sive, little nonadvertising concerns, who find it somehow beneath
their dignity to sell their goods at less than a profit of several
hundred per cent.
The third thing you do is to reckon up your savings at the
end of a week or two.
And the fourth thing you do is to stand amazed at the
amount you have saved in spite of the amount you have bought.
Now of course this is letting you in behind the scenes.
There isn't a buyer in any store who doesn't have to bring
himself up with a jerk or get brought up with a jerk every once
in a while, and who doesn't also stand amazed at what he has been
able to accomplish with a smaller amount of capital and a greater
amount of energy and a little extra thimbleful of brains.
Now don't tell anybody you have been behind the scenes, but
just dig into the advertising in this paper quietly for the next
few days; cut out the "droppinginanywhere method of shop
ping; make a business of your household expenditures, and see
if this little financial plan doesn't relieve your terrible money
strain.
