"The first and most direct relief to the public utilities corporations can be given by the State public utilities commissions and municipal and local authorities, with the broad minded cooperation of the people generally, understanding and necessities of war and realizing that the more promptly it's burdens are accepted the sooner they will be lifted. It is essential that forbearance and consideration be ex- ercised by the State commissions and municipal authorities, and the corpo- rations also be permitted to make such additions to their charges for service as will keep in them the breath of solvency, protect their own CTS against unjust loss, and give them basis for cr6dit on which they may obtain funds with which to meet the

Doesn't the Bible teach us plain enough that we should go to God in times of trou- ble, with an humble spirit, and that He will help us. We know that He has the strength to do anything, how ever impossible it may seem to us, if we only have the faith and trust Him and do His will 1 can't believe that God is pleased with us having His churches closed up.
