You are building every day-build-
ing for eternity.
1t isn't a temporary structure that
you're e~recting-to be torn dow and
destroyed when you're through with
it-youIl never be through with the
thing you're building.
It's part of you-it is you.
Then how are you going to build?
BUILD UNSELFISHLY.
If you think of others comfort and
shelter, you'll strengthen your own
structure. Whatever o put into
your own house will perish-it's only
what you put into other lives that is
permanent.
And here's the proof Of it in terms
of Hfelbuilding:
He that saveth his life shall lose
it, and he that loseth his life for my
sake shall find it."
BUILD QUIETLY.
Don't hurry. There's all eternity
ahead.
Don't fuster or fume or fret.
Take time to be holy is a WELL
known song that's been sung to
death, but it's the soundest sort OF
sense, just the same.
~ BUILD OBEDIENTLY.
Obey the laws Of God-in science
in health. You can't build very sub
stantially if you substitute your owT
principles-if they are contrary tc
Gods.
Gods word is a safe guide. He's
given us His plan in the Bible. The
more nearly we follow it the stronger
we shall build-and we won't have
to tear down what we've already con-
structed.
BUILD PERSEVERINGLY,
You'll meet opposition-but some
times it will be revealed that what
you regarded as disappointment was
actually-well, substitute II fol
ID" and you'll have His appoint
ment."
So keep o Success will come to
you-if you keep God in your plan.
BUILD WITH THE RIGHT MA.
TERIAL.
/. Your work will be tried-tested.
It will be tried as by fire-and the
unworthy things that you've put into
your building will perish.
So don't waste time-there's so lit
tie of it, anyway-buiid only with tn
material that will stand the test.
BUILD UPON THE RIGHT
FOUNDATION.
You may be doing many goot
things. but perhaps you haven
started right.
What's your motive? What arr
you driving for?
Your material may be good. bu
unless you're building upon q rock
not upon sand, hay, stubble-you
| works will some time take a tumble
Many bad men are doing som'
| good workout that isn't going t
pull them through.
It's foundation things that count
not fiag-staffs.
BUILD FOR ETERNITY.
Remember that you've got to iiv'
| with and in what you're building
| you've any building left.
Building, building every day,
Building for eternity"

sOLvING THE m. @. OF L.

EOllO1k fl1NlNG NEWS
One of the most fundamental
causes Of the so-called high cost OF
living is overlooked by those who are
constantly condemning price huctua-
tions. Although it cannot be denied
that in a great nam cases the prices
OF commodities are abnormal yet this
factor is not the one that demands
primary consideration.
The unprecedented increase in the
quantity of money in the country and
h method by which it is placed in
circulation are the most potent fac
tors of the existing state of affairs.
In a little over two years the
amount of Federal Reserve notes In
circulation has increased from $50
millions to $500 millions, whereas
the gold supply of the country has In
over three billions. 1t is not difficult
to understand that this s~tupendous
increase IN the volume of currency
tends to decrease the exchange value
of h money in the country and that
a greater amount of money is re-
quired than formerly to purchase
commodity Of apparently equivalent
value.
The difficulty, however, lies in the
distribution of his excessive cur
rency. We observe hat the paper
money has increased Gin quantity
about seven times in the last two
years, but 1t would be ridiculous to
assert that every person possesses
seven times as much money. Many
have multiplied their balance by
more than seven whereas many 9TH
ers have not eve doubled theirs.
These resulting circumstances are
u to the operation of the Federal
Reserve Aact. By virtue of this act,
banks are permitted to make loans to
the extent that their customers car
furnish adequate security. There is
mands or the part of depositors, be-
cause the banks can rediscount the
notes they hold by taking them to the
Federal Reserve banks Of their re-
spective districts.
Hence it is not a difficult matter
to borrow money provided that one
has something to offer as security.
Now using the rediscounted notes as
collateral, in addition to the forty per
cent In gold, the Federal Reserve
Board may place in circulation new
currency, known as Federal Reserve
Notes, which constitute at the present
time by far the greatest part OF
money in daily use.
BY this process credit Is expanded
and the currency becomes inflated. 1t
is a comparatively easy matter to
borrow money, which civ becomes
without limit.
Now let us urn to the great masses
of individuals who have no available
assets and therefore cannot find 1t
possible to borrow at the commercial
banks. They find it necessary to con-
tend against the appreciated currency
with same supply of money as they
had before this depreciation was eff
fected. This situation may be con-
strued as an exemplification of the
adage ITO those that have much,
more will be gwen, while to those
that have little ever that which they
have will be taken away"
Unquestionably the Federal Re-
serve Act possesses several admirable
qualities, but its great tendency to in
fate the currency in this way is its
inherent evil. Remedial measures
should be aimed in this direction.
