CHURCH

A slyscraper temple-a church
built into big building that will
rent space-will be erected in New
York City. The idea is 10 make the
church self-supportirg, with a sure
and regular income from rents. II
is not an absolutely new idea, for
many churches have funds invested,
But it is an idea worth copying,
Business men, who belong ia
churches, by contributing their time
and ability to similar projects could
do a thousand times more for Chris
tianity than by merely dropping
money into a collection plate. Some
may object to a church having com.
mereial relations. But surely it is
better than church poverty or even
minor difficulty in making both ends
meet. The pity is, that all business
is not controlled by the Christian
religion.

Uncle SANS sales Of surplus
army and navy supplies are getting
down to the bottom Of the pile. The
War Department, chief auctioneer,
has recovered nearly three billion
dollars this way.
Some of the supplies brought
more than they originally cost.
Others sold for less than a cert or
the dollar. Most of the stuff went
dirt cheap.
In marketing the three billion
dollars worth of supplies, the
government has spent two million
dollars advertising. Personal sales

would have cost many times as
