Mission of Every Christian.

The nearer we approach to God In
our spiritual life and fellowship the
larger our sympathles for humanity,
and the more universal our ministry
in the world. The mission of Christ is
the mission OF every Christian. He

world. The disciple is not better than

Easing Life's Load

For those of us who realize our load, and
have no desire to shirk there are several conso-
lations. In the first place. we do not have TO
pull all the time. part of every day we
take the pack off and ease our shoulders. IL ""
are wise Is there restful home. with slippers
and easy chair? Is there no resting bed, with
sleep that 'knits UP the raveled sleave OF care
Are there sundays and vacation spots7
Friends, too, are oascs in the desert There Is
something about a trusted and sympathetic soul
that Is pure hearts ease. Just to be with him
Is a sort OF sabbath. Just to know that he exists
and thinks OF you is as IL ore put his hands un-
der your armpits and lifted.
And faith, any kind Of fpith, is power Faith
in yourself helps nightly. Fight for your self
respect as at the last ditch. Believe in your
star--that the universe would never have al
lowed you to exist unless you. just you, with all
your weaknesses, had been needed.
Faith in other people helps. Any good man
or woman you believe In is a soul tonic. Pes
sinnism and cyncism are poison miasmas Of
diseased personality. BY them we are self-inocu-
lated with deadening germs stupefying microbes.
And faith in the Eternal Goodness is best OF
all. In your darkest moments repeat to yourself
this best OF confessions. that of J. q. Sails;
who In lfes battle lrm doth stand
Shall bear hopes tender blossoms

FROM THE PUBLIC
REPLIES TO INSURANCE EDITORIAL.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Your amazing editorial some days ago headed
"Nationalizing Insurance" has prompted me to
write you in refutation Of the implied detraction
directed at the present-day life insurance corpo-
rations. Supervised as they now are by Federal
and State bureaus, conducted by tried methods
and reliable executives acting as banker and
friend to the needy and the dependent of the ma
ton, the many substantial and established old
line life insurance companies really need no de-
fense In the minds and hearts Of millions of sat
isfed poicyholders.
Your. editorial contains the insinuation that
when ono Is insured and something happens
too often he fnds that the thing which happened
is precisely something which the policy rex
cepts." Then there is the statement that "the
only party really insured against loss is the in
surance company" Finally. the paragraph of
comparison between the speed with which the
Federal Bureau of War Risk Insurance settles
claims and the red tape" and cross ex animation
undergone by those who would make claims upon
the private companies
Unfortunately. the editor of The Times has
probably had no personal dealings with the War
Risk Bureau and has not listened to the daily
stories of unpaid claims for compensation and
death dnned into the ears of the adjusters at the
Government bureau from morning to night, while
the mails overflow with similar complaints. On
the other hand, the old-line companies, the ma
jorty OF them established over half a century,
can point to a long and honorable record OF wild
ows and orphans saved from the clutches of the
poorhouse and old men and women spending their
declining years in comfort on the fruits Of saw
ings exemplifed in the endowment policy
The writer agrees with the editor of The
Times that "a public business should be managed
for service. not for pront." Surely the editor of
The Times finds no fault with a system that re-
quires the old line companies to invest premium
moneys in securities and mortgage holdings that
are both safe and profitable? Inasmuch as all
surplus moneys and profits of these companies
are either distributed to the policyhoders or held
in trust for their ultimate benefit is 1t not, to
the least. both ambiguous and inadequate to say
that "insurance companies are organized for
profit solely?'
The writer does not propose to enter into
academic discussion relative to the merits OF gov
ernment ownership of public service utilities. He
is simply inclined to doubt whether II In a fact
that government ownership implies the "dernier
cr' in business management and efficiency.
