BIBLICAL CORNERSTONE
Bv HARRY

The parable Of the Good
Samaritan is applied to every
cay life in the principle OF the
Building and Loan Association.
It's reason for existence IS the
helping Of American families OF
moderate means to secure homes
Of their own where they are for
ever freed Of the bugbear rent
paying-where they can dwell on
year after year without fear OF
commercial conditions causing a
boom in rent or Of receiving no
tice to move as the property has
been sold.
The Building and Loan Assocla-
ton is a mutual concern dividing s
its profits equally among us
stockholders, investors and Dor
rowers. How different from otn'
er savings institutions which mel
ther divide equally with stock
holders or permit borrowers to
share in the profits.
It is the friend OF the labor
ing man and a foe to the profi
tcer and every dollar invested
in a Building and Loan Assoc1a-
ton at per cent interest Is a
direct blow at the hog OF IL
nance.
