BACK TO NORMAL

In no period since the war has
greater progress in the return to nor
NAL business conditions been made
by industry, commerce and finance
than during the past year. This re-
establishment of normal conditions
has been brought about by the work
ing Of purely economic influences.
These influences and this result COM
petely refute the arguments and pre-
tensions of opportunist politicians and
radical demagogues who have sought
to bring about readjustment by po-
litical measures. These measures
were aimed to give gratutous advan-
tages to the special interests and
classes which the proposers assumed
to represent. to the detriment of the
general good.
The virtual disappearance, by nat
ural economic processes, Of the alb
normalities that have persisted. as the
long drawn out aftermath of the war,
has removed whatever justifcat ton
their presence seemed to give for
governmental paternalism and for
special measures of relief for par
ticularly distressed classes At best
these MEASURES were merely sedatiyes

for psychological conditions and moi
real remedies for economic condi
lions. To that extent they served
a purpose, but there is no further
public good that they can serve
With normal conditions once more es-
tablished it should be the resolute
determination of all business men to
resist any further effort at political
interference with economic processes
The time is at hand for a thorough
going return to free play Of private
enterprise and private initiative under
Lnhampered competitive conditions
Government influence and political in
reference In respect to business
should be reduced to an absolute
minimum. We as bankers ask no
special privileges for ourselves
Equally we are opposed to special
privileges fol- other groups at the
expense of the general welfare. The
experience of the past few years has
been one Of the greatest demonstra.
lions in history Of the validity Of the
view that the community interests of
a people are best served by the maxi
mum degree of private enterprise ami
private initiative with the minimum

Indian Tribal Language

american Indians are divided into
groups and the languages of the vari-
GUS groups are found to differ to such
oegree that one is not ineligible to
announcer. Often within the same lin
guisuc family different tribes speak
RADICALLY different dialects. This is
rue OF the Pueblos in the Southwest.
lnhaoitants of villages only 100 miles
apart cannot understand each others

The Connecting Ladder

Several years ago, writes Rev. j. A.
Clark, a noticeable cartoon appeared in
an American newspaper on Lincoln's
birthday. II represented log cabin
close to the base Of high mountain.
On the mountalntop was shown the
White House. Against the side of the
mountain rested ladder-its foot
touching the cabin, its uppermost rung
reaching the mansion on the cliff. The
cartoon was we'll named, "The Ladder
Is Still There" 1t is sermon in a

earth and heaven is "still there" and

kiah did. when we come to life's crises.

The chapter which contains our text
also declares. Now all these things
happened unto them for types and
they are written for our admonition."
Certain events in the wilderness his
tory of Israel are called types. Yes
terday was but the mold for today.
Twice God directed Moses to pro-
vide a miraculous supply of water for
the lsraelites. Moses smote the rock
(Exod. 1850 and forthwith the water
gushed out. Our text says that rock
was Christ. Thus the God Of the New
Testament explains what was meant
by an act in the Old Testament So
in Numbers 20 - we read that God
told Moses to speak to the rock IAN
elevated place) and our text shows US
that God was then IMPLYING what was
definitely explained centuries later.
Moses sinned when instead Of speaking
he smote that rock as he had pre-
viously done. He may not have known
why he was only to speak, bat God
knew why. Moses business was to do
as he was commanded and leave the
reason for the command with God. AL
though Moses could not see why, today
we can see. The rock was the type OF
Christ who could be smitten but once
to save the perlshIng; thencefortb He
might be spoken to. sought called
upon, but never again smitten. Once
only at the end Of the ages hath He
appeared to put away sin by giving
His back TO the smiters elsa. 50:6).
Shall men of the Twentieth century

because He went to the cross A. ID.
33? The prophecy goes back TO the
beginning of the ages and antedates
the calendar. Talk about antiquity Of
religions! The agelessness of Gods
redeeming love admits Of no apology,
and 1t ayails at the present moment
The holy rays of mercy streaming
from the cross of Calvary have not
suffered loss by the passing Of the
centuries. They avail for today. The
types of centuries ago are the facts
of today. Behold then the thirsty
