While tbs true that dnring periods
OF unemployment the record of crime
is heightened, it is equally true that
the majority of crimes daily reported
are not committed bv men who would
rather work than murder and steal
Unemployment may be responsible
for petty crimes. Some may become
desperate enough to commit major
offences. but it may be safely said
that the large majority of men who
labor in factory, field or Office are
Inherently honest, at least to de-
gree that they would shrink from

What We Make Use OF.

Not what we have, but what use we
make of our possessions, that is the
question. A house, an automobile, a
good singing voice, talent for public
speaking, an interesting and entertain
ing way with children, an engaging
and influential persOnality-all Of
these, dedicated to Christian ideals
and the progress of the Kingdom Of
God, will yield abundant fruits, some
thirty, some sixty, and some a hun
dred-fold. Jesus used Peters boat, and
His spirit today will employ, with I'M
common fruitfulness, every possession,
every talent, yielded unto him. Bless
ed is he who, perceiving the divine
