The Dawes plan will have its trial
and the world will see what happens.
Germany gets four years to prepare

amount to $65O,OOO,OOO annually
We thought it pretty big when we

Panama Canals every year, if this

What books would you take to a
desert island?
What would you do if you knew you
had only one more year to live?
What would you do if you had
twenty million dollars? Helen Steia,
intelligent young secretary of Nathfm
Straus, replied to that last question,
I'D go crazy"
Those are old questions. Here is a
new one, based on the experience of
three Italian mountain climbers, that,
held by a rope. hung for five hours
over a mountain precipice, waiting to
be saved.

advanced from 26.S cents per dozen
on January I, 1918, to 44.2 cents on
January 1. 1923. Recent authorities
hold out the hope of a readjustment

MOTHERS SURPRISE.
Waited Years for Engagement
Ring. Which Finally Arrives.

i married young man not greatly
blessed with worldly goods. 1t taxed
his financial resources. to the utter
most to start even our modest house
keeping, so our engagement was not
sealed with the customary ring, all
though I did have a small wedding
ring.
During our early married life we
had to work and plan to make just
poor living for our three little
girls, for although Johns salary in
creased, SO did living expenses, and
luxuries were unknown.
Soon after our eldest daughter be-
came engaged. John made quite a
sum of money on q business deal.
One evening he came home with an
expensive looking ring box. and,
opening 1t, showed US beautiful dia-
mond ring. We all supposed it to be
an engagement present for daughter.
She looked complacent, while the
younger girls were frankly envious.
My heart f1uttered when John inter
rupted with: Here, wait a minute.
That's mothers engagement ring.
Goodness knows she's waited long
enough for it, but now's the first
time I've been able TO afford the
kind she deserves"

RADIO CHURCHES.

A small country church in
Indiana, which couldn't afford a
pastor, installed radio and listens
every Sunday to a famous Chicago
minister, supported by a church
which can we'll pay to have high
priced talent in the pulpit.
Is this forecast of the future
for the country church, or is it
merely an isolated case'
Is this a makeshift to meet emer-
gency or is it the beginning OF a
new kind ofpreaching in the coun-
try churches1
1t may be the solution of prob
lem that coufronts some rural con-
gregations, which have not the
means to support pastor regu-
larly, but no church will ever be
able to get the inspiration from a
radio sermon that'it could get from
the words of pastor standing in
its own pulpit.
Radios will never supplant
pastors. Given the choice, any
rural church would select a resi-
dent, or even circuit pastor, in
preference to having its pastoral
work done by absent treatment.
The rural church pastor does
more than preach. He functions
where the radio can be Of no service.
He congratulates the parents when
the new born arrives and he per-
forms the ceremony when members
of his "flock" are married. In
times of sickness and trouble, he is
constant souce Of comfort. and
when death stalks in the home, it is
he who is the support of flickering
faith, and his words hold out hope
for the future. His advice on
moral issues and civic questions is
always sought.
The radio will never dislooge the
rural pastor. His mission is too
big and his services too much in
demand.
