The magnitude Of the automobile industry in the
United States the volume of capital and the equally large
amount of labor s1ikngly set forth in data compiled
from various by Alfred Reeves of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce. These figures evi-
dence conclusively the wide appropriation not only by
business men, but the public at large of the transporta
ton facilities supplied by passenger cars and commercial
trucks which are doing great work in this country and
particularly at this time in relieving the railroads of
much short haul freight traffic and passenger business
An interesting point developed the fact that the great
est registration of automobiles during the past year

acres Of ab land have been released for food produc

Mr. Reeves shows that there is $60O0OOO Of capital in
vested in automobile manufacturing and that the total

The record of the life of Jesus

42:1; Zech.. 3:S). If we would say
truly "Whose am, and whom serve"
and faithfully serve the living and
true God, bearing in daily life the
fruit he desires, we must consider
him who was the only perfect servant,
and abide as branches In him who is
the True Vine. But this we cannot do
till we have truly received the good
news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God |;
or as ii is written in Rom. :1-3, the
good news of God concerning his Son
Jesus Christ our Lord. We cannot
serve the Lord till we have been re-
deemed by receiving Jesus Christ as
our own personal Savior. according to
John / ID; 3-16, 10; John 5 10. That
being settled, then our whole life
should be one of loyal service, with
the perfect servant as our only pat
tern, according to Heb. II :1-3; l Pet.
2:21.

whom he cried: Behold the Lamb Of
God ~ When told that Jesus had more
followers than he had, he said that he
was glad and added 'He must in
crease, l must decrease" (John 3 30,
800. AS to a more full account of
Johns preaching see Matt. 3:7-10;
Luke 3:7-14: He told them of some
thing greater than baptism with wa
ter, even a baptism of the Holy Spirit
which Jesus would give them, and he
pointed them onward To the end of the
age when the wheat would be gath
cred into the garner, but the chaff
burned up with unquenchable fire
Matt. 3:11, 12). The future for all
will be the Kingdom or the lake of fire,
and even between death and resurrec-

this was really believed by all the
preachers and teachers, they would

remember those thirty years at Naz-

ence and patient waiting of all those
years In that lowly life In which he no

In his public life. This Is a greatly
needed lesson for all of us: not doing
some great thing but just filling the
place he assigns us, however lowly 1t
may be.
We do not wonder that at first John
refused to baptize him. saying that he
had greater need TO be baptized by
Jesus, but Jesus himself baptized not

country are generously remembering
the "boys" with all manner of COM
forts in the way of wearing apparel,
candy, jellies, fruits, etc, and alto
gether are doing everything within
their power to satisfy the physical,
mental and even spiritual longings of
the young defenders of the nation. To
the soldier and sailor the very sight
of the white ribbon brings comfort
ing sense of personal interest in his
welfare and desire to measure up to
the best that is in him. Many are the
words of gratitude everywhere receiv-
ed by local, county, state and ma
tional workers from recipients Of
mother-hearted ministrations.
