ERA.

All over the Tilted States the most
pronounced optimism is apparent.
Bankers, manufacturers and business
men believe that a great era OF de-
velopment is just ahead. The banks
are in the best possible condition, and
have the money to turn the wheels OF
industry and to transport our pro-
ducts overseas. The laboring people
have no for complaint and ex-
pect to prosper for some time to come
The farmers are a favored class Just
now.
With sane and conservative legis-
%lation, equitable taxation measures
and a spirit of encouragement and
fair dealing toward industry, invest
ments and labor al a national policy,
prosperity will abide with us.

AN IMPORTANT METAL INDUSTRY

One metal industry was 1nfavor-
ably affected by the European war
and has not yet recovered-spelter
and zinc production.
The war conditions took the entire
output for other purposes and gal
vanizing iron, steel and wire dropped
off for that eason
The galvanizing demand took 60
per cent of the total otput and that
was cut off yer night, as was the
principle foreign demand.
Renewal of demands since the
signing of the armistice has given an
upward impulse to prices, with a
brisk growing demand from Europe.
SHELTERS in Germany and Belgium
will have to be rebuilt and cannot
ore supplies from Australia
and South America for some time.
American zinc industries have kept
their plants running in many cases at
a loss and cannot produce at less
than 10 cents a pound at present
scale of wages.
At 10 cents a pound as basic
price, there is a reasonable profit at
present cost of labor and materials
but a lower base would mean lower
wages.

"Men, prayer won that game. Praying
men cannot be be aten." And what he
| said was true.
| Now know that you will raise a ques-
| ton and in so doing you will confess to me
that in your earnest desire to win for
P. A. all of you have prayed that Peoples
Academy might have the victory, and
then sometimes, even when you had
prayed and the team had worked hard and
all had done their very best, the opposing
team won the game. Answer me this:
Having prayed and then having lost the
game, did you also lose faith in God?
Let US get Gods relation to football or
basketball game. If you can tie this thing
up in your minds and hearts it will help
you to retain your faith in God when
things go wrong in the struggles that you
will meet with in life as you strive and
pray for victory
Let US get Gods position rightly placed
in the contest. God doesn't care who
wins the game. He has too many great
problems on his mind to be vitality con-
cerned over the outcome of an athletic
contest. God doesn't care who wins. If
that were the vital issue with God, what
do you suppose he would do about decid-
ing a contest where both teams and the
ardent followers of both sides prayed for
victory? 1t is not hard to believe that in
many contests such has been the case. If
God were fair in His decision the game
would have to be draw, wouldn't it?
Either that or we would be continually
accusing God of playing politics The re-
suits W ould be far from satisfying.
No, my friends, the outcome OF the
game does not concern God. But here is
the part that God plays in the game: He
gives His strength to those who have in
terest in Him. The physical energy, the
spiritual energy of those young football

run down to see the boy and look over the
situation. lie went to the sons office.
He found that the boy during the morning
had very few calls. In the afternoon the
father and son went to the city hospital,
where three afternoons week the young
man gave his services free to the poor
people of the city who came there for
treatment AS the doctor worked over
the endless number of patients, the father
looked on. He watched closely the won
derful skill of his son and puzzled eX-
preston came over his face as he watched.
Late that afternoon as the two left the
building, the father exclaimed, "Why
son, thought you told me that your work
was failure?"
"But Dad!n the boy replied, There
isn't any money in it,"
money!" exclaimed the father, "Never
mind about the money. You keep on with
this wonderful work. If it's money you
want Pll go back to the farm and work
harder than | have ever worked in my life
in order to furnish you with all the money
you need. Yes, and I'll go to bed nights,
happier than have ever been in my life
that at last / have found, indirectly per-
haps, way of serving my fellow men.
Some entertainers came to to our hut la
week and presented Charles Ram Kenne-
dy's play, 1.-THE Servant In The House." A
point brought out in that play illustrates
this thought very well. A young minister
married a girl who was am bilious to gain
WeaIt h and popularity for herself and hus-
band. His object in entering the ministry
was sincere. But his devoted young wife
gradually won him over to her point of
view. AT the time of the play, several
years after their marriage, he is a bishop.
He is raising money for church repairs and
he is finding it difficult task. The fail
ure to get funds is great source of worry

players was increased through prayer be-
fore that game.
There Will be times that you will be de-
feated in your struggles in life, even
though you may have prayed for victory.
But do you know that failures sometimes
make men strong? Do you know that
continuous victory often ruins men? 1t
oftentimes makes a man conceited and
self centered and filled with an ego that is
unbeara BILE to others. Really his success
in life has brought him failure. On the
other hand, the men who fail often gain
much which is worth while. The
late DR.. Henry Parks Wright, Dean of
Yale College, once made this statement:
"If had my life to live over again | would
want my share of the failures"
We find success very OFTEN thru our
failures, for we learn by experience. We
learn to discriminate between those things
which really bring success and those
which seemingly bring success but which
in reality fail to help us win the real vic
tory. We are very apt to lose the one
thing which is vitality worth while. Do
not make the mistake which is made by so
many men and women and get the idea
that the accumulation of dollars is the
sign of success. No greater fallacy ever
existed. That, as an ideal toward which
to strive, has made many failures out OF
possible successes. This does not mean of
course that all rich men are failures. This
does not mean that you should not acquire
riches if you so desire, but do not let the
fever for gaining wealth rule your action.
Do not let that be your God or you VIII
fail.
