we could forecast the future for the space of

some amazing discoveries.
One piece of information, however is being forced upon
attention without being gifted with any extraord
nary foresight 1t is that during least the next twelve
months there will be material reduction in the cost of
living.
Already we are experiencing prices for foodsuffs
without being at What the situation will be before

misgivngs
Should this country become entanged in the war which

But even with prices they many grave ques

DISTINGUISH BETWEEN
THRIFT AND MISERLINESS.

OF course when good friends of the folly
of spending money unthoughtedly this don't
that they should go to the other extreme and become
misers. An old story says that occasion John
Wesley preaching to a crowd and had among his
hearers thrifty and hardworkng but cosefsted steward
81 say, make all you can" said Wesley Make every
penny you can honestly"
And the thrifty steward uttered enthusiastic Amen"
I'm the second place." said Wesley 81 say save all you
can-every penny you can"
This to the stewards liking. "Amen!"
he roared.
"And in the third place" said Wesley 81 say, give all
you can. Give all you can to every worthy cause"
But this time there "amen" from the steward.
There now! There now!" he muered to himself but
loud enough for his friends beside him to hear He's
gone and spoilt it ALL"
When we insist time after time the importance of
economy, sometimes afraid we shall encourage
some such modern steward in outright stngness. We
should like to make it plain therefore that have usr
as little use for tghwad spendthrft-and maybe
little lltler But there's in being either spcnd
tn 1T or tghtwad. Simply be thrifty.
