How much should | give
to make this a better world?

a CERTAIN man in New York filled out his
n income tax report. a
1t showed an income so large that his tax was
53%. Andhis total gifts to. church and char
ity for the year were $l48.
Think of it-thousands spent for 1uxuries and
pleasure for himself; and $l48 to leave the world
a little better than he found it!
Most of us do better than that; but not so very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes il"
less than we spend for daily papers
less than a local telephone call
less than a third of the days car fare
less than 3 cents a day 81
No wonder that 8O% of the ministers Of America
are paid less than $40 a week. No wonder that
the church hospitals turn away thousands ofsick
people a year. No wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 100000 people. No wonder
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.
1t isn't because we are selfish; it isn't because we
don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever put
up a great big program to US, and asked US to think of the
work of the church in a systematic businesslke way. :
The Interchurch World Movement represents the united
program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed
their whole task, no business could have done it better. 3
They have budgeted their needs; no business could have
amore scientific budget. They have united to prevent the
possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dol
lars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual CAM
paigns are joinedin one united effort.
And they come to the men or women who love America
TO you this week asking you to use them as the cham
mel through which a certain definite part of your income
can be be applied to make this a better world.
Only you can determine what part of your income that
should be.
It's a good time right now to answer that question
We're passing through the world just once; how much
better will the world be because you passed through?

RIPPING MES
BY Walt Mason.
HENRY THE GREAT.

I have a hat that cost a pile-hat
prices high have soared-and / take
off that treasured tile, and bow to
Henry Ford. Like many patriotic
gents. the peoples cause I'd aid, un-
less 'twould cost me fifteen cents
and then / am afraid. I'd gladly
make the welkin ring demanding
prices fair; wind doesn't cost me any
thing, and / have lots to spare. But
when 1t comes to selling rhymes at
any pre-war rates, why, l have use
for all my dimes, like all the other
skates. But Henry took a nobler
view, and he had higher plans; he
said, "Ill cut the price in two, on my
nice tin sedans. What though it
means a mighty loss? My spirit
won't be grieved; the cause is good
and coin is dross when good may be
achieved" So he INDUCED in slash
ing jag t prices many beans; and
poor + = brought their shopping
bags an bought his limousines. And
other plutes beheld the sign, and
their price schedules smashed, and
merchant princes fell In line, and
slashed, and slashed, and slashed.
And while we still have breath and
life, we must not forget-'twas
Henry took the pruning knife and an
example set.

SEND THE RAIN
BY DIR. James I. Vance.

One afternoon we drove into the
country. The air was heavy and
close. The roads were dusty. The
wind scorched us with its hot breath.
The blistering sun baked the rocks
and parched the grass. The corn
was twisted in the fields, and the cat
tie stood ~listless in the shade of the
trees. We had come to a withered
world.
The next morning we drove back,
but everything had changed. There
was the tang of life in the air. The
dust was laid. The blades of corn
were waving a salute as they rustled
in the long rows. The cattle were
eagerly gazing on green grass which
had suddenly come back to life. The
birds were singing from the trees and
chasing each other along the rail
fences. The sun called to us with
the beauty of the morning, and the
parched and withered world had re-
turned to spring.
What made the difference? 1t had
Irained. The windows of heaven had
opened, and the God Who loves the
land had sent the rain.
Does He love people less?
There are withered lives. There
are men and women whose joy is like
thC a. LII WIOoC LCii6tit
says. Their souls are baked and
blistered like the sands of the desert.
Their happiness is dried up. They
are sapless and juiceless and listless.
They have lost their zest and their
courage is gone.
Is there no hope for them? Surely
the God Who sends the morning dew
to the parched earth can water a
thirsty soul. His presence Is like
streams of living water. Try Him.
He can change the desert to a gar
den. He can make your dead joys
bud and blossom as the rose. He
can bring back the spring.
You are going TO have splendid
crops" someone said to a farmer, as
they gazed out on the ample acres,
Yes, if God will let them alone
And He did. God let them alone
There was no rain, and the crops
withered and died.
God will let you alone If you in
sist. But if you want Him, He will
send the rain.

THE HOUSING PROBLEM.

That Perth Amboy is up against a
real housing problem like every other
city has been realized for some time.
The continuation of fine weather has
helped a great deal, not only in re-
lieving the stress upon the people
who are unable to find sufficient &C.
Communications, but in the matter of
building where operations are going
on in the hope Of getting finished be-
fore real cold weather sets in.
Very few homes have been built in
Perth Amboy in the last few years.
This cannot be blamed entirely on
the cost of building materials. In
other places. notably Woodbridge,
many houses have been erected. The
trouble here is the scarcity of
ground. Practically all of the avail
able land in Perth Amboy for build
ing has been built up. This
has forced the price of what re-
manning lots there are to almost pro-
hibitive prices so that the average
man can go to the suburbs, buy a
lot and erect a house for almost
what 1t would cost him to pay for
1.-THE lot alone here. This is n OF
THE great problems that confronts
the city now. Something must be
done 10 relieve the situation II Perth
Amboy is to continue to grow.
But, in the meantime. something
must be done to provide homes fol-
the families that are attracted here
to work in our industries. II they
cannot find homes in Perth Amboy
and that seems impossible. they mus
be provided for In nearby towns
Perth Amboy ought to help accom-
Iplish this. After all, we are all ont
