CHURCHES ASKEDTO OBSERVE GOLD ENRJZE SLNDAY
Golden Rule Sunday
By Rev. r. N. Gilman

Tomorrow, December ?, is
international Golden Rule
Sunday. What is that A.? There
are over in the Near East to-
day approximately 100, 00R chill
dren, mostly orphans, under
American care and training.
These children have been res
cued from certain starvation
and death by the American
people through the organization
known as Near East Relief,
with which it was my privilege
to serve for over two years.
They are as fine and promising
lot of children as could be
found in any part of the world.
They are the future leaders of
the Near East. In them lie
great hopes and possibilities for
a peaceful solution OF the vex-
ing problems of that part of the
world.
But most of these promising
children have not yet reached
the age of self support,
although large numbers of the
older ones are already partial
" so. Until such time. as they
are able to look after them
selves they are the charges of
the Christian and charitable
people of America and some
thirteen other countries. In or
der to provide bread for these
little ones we are now asked to
observe sInternational Golden
Rule Sunday" in this way: TO
substitute for the menu of to-
morrow's dinner the menu used
in the orphanages of Near East
Relief consisting of soup, rice.
bread and cocoa. and to give as
q thank-offering for the pur-
chase of food for these orphans
the difference in cost between
this menu and the cost of the
regular Sunday dinner menu.
| am of the opinion that most
of us ate a great deal more on
Thanksgiving than we needed.
Tomorrow, therefore, will be "A
very appropriate time TO let our
digestive system rest little.
But what is most important, we
will thus be giving of our album
dance to those little ones who
otherwise might starve.
Will you not be a Golden
Ruler" tomorrow with President
Coolidge and Secretary Hughes
and countless others all over
the world?
Whatsoever ye would that
others should do unto YOU Tor
unto your children thus left
desolate), do We even so unto
them"
Note: Both Mr.. Gilman and
his wife have spent some time
In the Caucasus working for
the Near East Relief and they
are thoroughly familiar with
the narrowing sights of starva-
ton and desolation among the
people OF that section.

Both Poor and Rich Complain

THE gentle art of getting back to normally does not seem
l. to be working out very well in practice. The rich are not
any better satisfied than the poor if their plants are to be!
believed. Rich men point out that our unscientifc system Of
taxation is stripping them of twothirds Of their income, and, as
a result, they must put their money into nontaxable securities
instead of into the productible lines of industry. On the other
side OF the fence We learn that the workingman's wages have,
not kept in step with the cost of living, and so he is dissatisfied.
PROFESSIONALLY, there has been a more marked readjustment of
wages in many lines than there has in the prices one must pay
for the things necessary to live.
Compared with the top prices reached during the war boom,
in May 1920, there has been a decline in prices Of 291a per
cent. This standing alone sounds encouraging, but the fact is
that prices today stand $685. per cent above the average an Au.l
gust ], 1914, according to figures supplied by r. II. Dunn Co.
The tilt in prices, however, has come to us gradually, stealing on
us as we slept For instance, in November it was only 1% per
cent. The total advance, however, since January /, 1922. has
been 1874 per cent, and disguise it as we may, the housewife has
felt the strain. The big business of the world is done on credit

Keep Peace BY Advertising

The larger metropolitan newspapers IN both the East anu
West have been quick to sense the delicacy Of the situation exist
ing between this country and Japan. as outlined recently IN TINS
newspaper, and coming as a result OF the japanese invasion OF
Siberia at the invitation of the United States during the world
war. While the subject is treated with q certain degree OF
reserve. nevertheless the tension Is quite apparent at Japanese
delay in Withdrawing her troops from all Russian territory;
Relief is felt in the recent retirement of Japan from Chinese
territory, which naturally bespeaks in a peaceful inclination
stripped of any thought Of territorial extension: If this pohcy
be followed in the case of Russia, Washington will breathe easier:
One Of these days the great power of advertising will be used
to clear the atmosphere and prevent international mlsunder,
standing. Perhaps no greater opportunity ever has presented
than exists now in the japanese situation. America practically
stands sponsor for the good faith of Japan. However, nothing
would make for better understanding than a few simple frank
and authoritative publicly advertised statements which would
indicate the real thought of the japanese people.
When intelligent and honest advertising shall take the place
of intricate diplomacy the world will rest on the bedrock OF pub
lie understanding and that will mean world peace.
