How a Single
Industry
Spreads
Prosperity

A most significant fact about an indus
try is the large number Of people who
benefit from it.
Take the cement industry, as an ex.
ample:
The mills used 100000 tons Of coal
last year. This meant 5000 coal miners
steadily employed-their families, num-
bering not less than $4,000, maintained
and along with them tradesmen and
other people enough to supply the needs
Of a town Of over 10000,
That is, Of course, saying nothing Of the
business created for coal operators and
transportation lines.
Sacks are not SO large an item in the
cement industry as coal, yet 100000
new sacks, representing $4,000 bales Of
cotton, had to be bought last year for re-
placements alone Back Of this were cotton
planters, plantation workers, mill owners,
mill operatives and so on-thousands al.
together.
And consider these other requirements
OF the industry last year:
100000 barrels Of fuel oil
3,4o0,0OO,000 cubic feet of gas
100000 pounds Of explosives
100000 pounds of greases and oils
100000 linear feet of betting
100000 friedrich for refining Idns
100000 pounds of paper for bags
100000 tons of gypsum
In addition the industry bought guam.
titles OF heavy grinding and burning ma.
chinery, locomotives cars rails, electrical
and other necessary equipment.
In this way single industry spreads
prosperity to many others.

Church Buildings Change Styles
To Meet Ne,U Community Needs

There is no more interesting evil
dence OF the change in our American
way of living than that shown in the
changing style of church buildings.
For two hundred years the meeting
house" was but hall for the Sunday
gathering of the elect" The rough
and angular outlines were sometimes
softened with a few features Of COM
fort, but as rule the rectangular
building with bare floor, straight
back seats and small-paned windows
was meeting place used for an hour
or two a week and left the rest of
the time in splendid isolation.
When the home life of the people
supplied the needs of the family the
simple meeting house" was perhaps
adequate, but today the institution
that sets itself to serve the commu-
nifty must have an adequate equip
ment So the modern church plant
still has it's auditorium. But how
different, with its art windows, deep
carpets and comfortable upholstered
pews, equipped with a gymnasium,
cooking room, sewing room, club
rooms and library, a vast institution
used almost daily from early morning
until late at night.
This development of church needs
has placed great responsibilities upon
the church organizations, and none
feel this more than the denomina-

resulted in her being appointed the
first evangelist to publish to His
disciples and Peter that He was risen
from the dead. He calls them my
brethren higher term than He had
used heretofore. 1t promised them
the same sonship with God as His,
and the same fatherhood in God that
He enjoyed. They were to be breth-
rem of Deaths Conqueror and sons
Of Christ's Father and Christs God.
His command secured an immediate
publication of the good news. An
empty mind would have doubted.
Aimless feet would have wandered.
The woman, whom Jesus commits

hesitate. She quickly found them in
the upper room and proclaimed the
glad tidings OF the Masters resur-

her message. She had carried her
sorrows to Christ and through her
love for Him had won a victory that
points the way to triumph for all
who are called to look at the open

thiZing and risen Lord face to face,

REPORTS FAR EAST
RELIGION GROWING
Churchman Believes This Will
Settle Most Vexed
Problems.

The only solution of international
as well as national problems In the
far east lies in following Christian
principles: The spirit of Jesus must
rule"
To body of churchmen yesterday
Rev. DR.. Sidney l.. Gulick,> secretary
of the commission on international
Justice and good will Of the Federal
Council of Churches, noted author
ity on the far east, who has just re-
turned from nearly year in the
north and south of China, in Korea,
in Japan and in the Philippines, made
this report. He declared that the
questions vexing the United States
and Japan can be solved only along
the same lines.
THE anti-Christian movement which
reached its height a little more than
year ago has died down." he said
christian missions are exercising
great influence in the national life of
both China and Japan. In this lies
the hope Of the situation. The prob
lens of China will gradually be solved
as the young men VINO nave been
trained in western countries and in
the mission schools gradually take
charge of affairs"
AS result of his attendance at
the first annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Christian Council OF China, a
committee on international relations
was established, through which the
churches Of China will be able to
study international questions, speak
on international matters and cooper
ate with the churches of other ma
lions in the program of the church
universal for a warless world.
DR.. Gulick went to the far east to
carry to the various church bodies
a message from the Federal Council
of Churches and the World Alliance
for Friendship Through the Churches.
Invitations to the various churches in
the far east to cooperate in the
world campaign for a warless world
were extended and accepted.
