LIFE'S TURNING POINTS
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN d. D., ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop OF

to the things that relate to our char
acter, our religious convictions and
practices, we recognize little of law and
less Of order. Our turning aside out
Of our common tasks and occupations
to hear and understand the voices
that appeal to the soul is impera-
lively demanded If we are ever to
understand the higher laws of God and
to live thereby. 1t Is reasonable to
believe that the laws that govern our
spiritual life are as well defined and
as unbreakable as those that have to
do with our physical well-being. What
we call religious habit" or the prac-
tice of the devotional life, Is nothing
more or less than turning aside to
catch deeper vision of the things Of
God.
The ancient admonition still holds
true, "Be still, and know that I am
God" world Of men and women
rushing madly along. bent upon self
satisfaction and self-indulgence, can
hardly expect to experience those
finer and higher impulses that have
to do with the spiritual in man. Where
children are brought up IN homes that
are wholly Indifferent to the things
of religion we can hardly expect from
them anything that stands for charac-
ter or unselflsh service in the interests
of the common good. Where Sunday,
with its more hallowed occupations, IS
quite ignored, and the day seculariZed,
and the things of our corporate re-
ligious life ignored, we can hardly ex-
pect to see issuing from such condi-
tions q generation of high thinking,
God-fearing men and women.
We are struggling today to get back
fn M
attempting to revive some of the old
and well-tested practices that made
for more wholesome living in other
days. In this time Of, readjustment
let us not forget that If We are to
restore the fine things of character
(and, after all, these are fundamentally +.
then we must come back to the old
ways Of turning aside now and again
to understand more clearly those
eternal principles Of life given to the
world by Jesus Christ-principles that
are as vitality related to our well-being
here and now as to our security and
salvation hereafter.

money to demand and consume farm
products.
Imitation, by reducing the standard OF
value measurement. would, Of course,
offer the illusion of higher prices. The
farmer would be among the first to re-
ceive higher prices. But the imitation
lists should show more concern with
what would later accompany imitation
which is the imitation of all prices. the
ruination of purchasing power by wage
earners, upon whom the farmer depends
for sale of his crops, and the wiping
out. along with the relatively small
amount OF farm debt, of the savings
of millions, who have been taught to
believe in the integrity of their Gov

livery of gold in London. but also the
tically any part of the world. 90 Ira
dition. (5) The existence In London
of well-established and highly spe.
cialized firms dealing in bullion. Lon
don, indeed. Is the only place IN the
whole world where there is an or
ganized permanent market Tor gold
distinct and apart from the treasury
and certain central banks.
The suspension of the gold standard
in September, 1881, so far as Great
Britain was concerned, Mr.. Bratter tells
us, was not permitted to interfere
with the operation of the London gold
market" although it is true that Tor
some time "a great deal Of the worlds
newly produced gold thereafter did nnd
its way to the ultimate buyer without
passing through London in the usual
manner" Today the pound sterling
naturally fuctuates in terms of gold
and, conversely, the price OF gold IN
terms of sterling Is no longer held
within any definite limits.
Owing to the close relationship OF Its
currency to that of Great Britain and
at the same time to that Of the
United States, Canada has been much
concerned about the output of her gold
mines and how to regulate the inflow
of the yellow metal from American
producers. eager to dispose OF their
holdings at as profitable rate as. pos
sible. Another study by the Depart
ment Of Commerce sums up Canadian
gold regulations. When the mother
country went of the gold standard the
Dominion government formally offered
to buy from domestic producers at the
mint at Ottawa all their bullion. at q
price sufficient to yield the amount
which could be obtained II sold in New
York" This was not quite successful
in preventing gold from leaving Can
ada. Therefore, in May. 1882. the
export of gold act" was passed. Since
August 10. 1888, and until further
notice, gold from American mines per-
mitted to be exported from the United
States, including Alaska, and so ex-
ported and treated In Canadian smell
ters or refineries, may be accepted by
the Canadian mint.

Government Control of Private Credits
Or Expansion Of Public Money System

as the holders Of its bonds or the hold
ers Of its contracts for public works.
1t is the accommodating political mo-
mentum behind such proposals that
pushes the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation farther and farther and
faster and faster into its subsidizings
Of private bankers for the expansion
Of private bank loans to borrowers will
ing to produce more goods and to hire
more employees. These are the loans
which the President calls pay roll
loans" and the expansion Of them is
today definite and central admins
tration policy The race is between Mr..
Jones. promoting pay roll loans" and
Senator Thomas. promoting what his
critics call governmental money manu-
facture."
It Is to be observed that Mr.. Jones
himself thereupon begins to approach
the point at which his so-called pay
roll loans will become almost the
equivalent OF advances Of governmental
money.
Mr.. Jones began by merely asking
bankers to loan more freely. He then
offered to buy preferred stock in their
banks in order to equip them with more
money for loaining more freely. He
then offered to furnish them with
money at 3 per cent, to be loaned by
them at per cent. He then simu-
taneously offered to allow them to form
mortgage companies which could bor-
row from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and then reloan to private
borrowers for the expansion not merely
Of transitory credit but also Of reason
ably continuous working capital
1t IS this last device which is thought
to hold out the largest promise of pos
sible triumph. It would be a triumph,
however essentially more radical than
any triumph by the left wing inflation-
lists Of Capitol Hill.
Bankers would be lending money pri-
marily not their own but the Govern
ment's. The Government, in the course
OF financing the mortgage companies
in prospect, would be providing per-
haps 80 per cent Of the money loaned
by the bankers to private borrowers,
and perhaps IS per cent or 90 per cent
or even 95 per cent The private bank
ers would become mere agents for the
effective ALLEGATION Of governmental
moneys and credits They would be-
come almost the mere employees of the
Government
In these circumstances it is surely
just to say that the apparent choice
at Washington at this week end Is be-
tween governmental domination Of our
private credit system and governmental
expansion of our public money system.

Prices and Imitation Demand.

On the evening Of May last, five
DAYS before he signed the emergency
farm-aid bill containing the Thomas
imitation amendments, the President ad-
dressed the American people by radio.
explaining In his characteristicaily
charming sit-down-and-well-talk-it-
over manner some Of the revolutionary
LEGISLATION enacted since March 4. OF
his broad powers over the currency and
the value Of money entrusted to him
In the farm bill, he said these powers
will be used when, as and If necessary"
to accomplish the purpose, previously
described, Of raising prices. To date
there has been credit imitation, but no
currency tnlation-a horse Of another
color.
The past week has witnessed an ex-
trsordinary and more or less concen-
trated renewal of attack by the infla-
ZIONIST spokesmen for that most vocal
of groups, the farmers, particularly the
cotton farmers. Great pressure IS being
brought to bear upon the President to
Use the infiationary powers at his dis
posal, including the issue Of fiat-money,
or "ereen-backs." The demands have
been accompanied by the usual now OF
extravagant statements regarding the
necessdty for imitation, together with
the traditional sophistry regarding its
benefits. But even more mysterious
than the reasoning Of the inhationists
ia their reasou-discounting the ameni-
ties Of politics-for making the demand
at this time.
Last April, when the imitation fever
In Congress was raging at its highest
the country was truly In the dumps
and prices had barely shown the first
signs Of improving over their record
lows Of the previous two months. But
today there has been, as everybody
knows, a distinct improvement. There
are encouraging signs on every hand
that It Is genuine, and that It Will
continue.
If the evils and pitfalls Of currency
imitation were successfully avoided IN
April, there is all the more reason why
they should be avoided today. The
Department Of Agriculture's latest pub
lished figures on General Trend OF
Prices and Purchasing Power" show the
following changes:

when the Lord saw that he turned
aside to see. God called unto him"
When we trace the changes that
women 1t Is remarkable how fire.
quently we find that the beginning Of
the change or transition was charac-
terized by what seemed to be an un-
important event or incident The
emergence of genius or the reforma-
tions and changes that take place in
individual lives are frequently asso-
ciated with the most commonplace
things. The more we study human
life the more conscious we are that
its finer and nobler experiences come
along ways that are normal and in
the daily round. A peasant is sent
afield In search Of his fathers lost
asses and before his return he finds
a crown and q kingdom. A plough
man in the field following his oxen,
without thought Of distinction, re-
ceives the mantle of authority from a
successor. An ancient shepherd, the
servant Of his father-in-law, pursuing
his common everyday tasks, Is sud-
denly arrested by bush that flames
with fire. and, turning aside from the
beaten track Of his daily habit, he
hears the voice OF God calling him to
a lofty field Of service, and thence
forth he becomes the emancipator
and lawgiver Of an enslaved people.
The crisis came In the life of Moses
when he turned aside to heed the cali
Of God. This incident in Moses life
has in 1t a practical lesson. Our ex-
perience Of religion, or, to put it an
other way, our religious development, Is
clearly conditioned by as well-defined
rules or laws as obtain in any other
sphere Of our being. We do not grow
in character through an indiferent
and occasional recognition Of the Laws
Of God any more than we grow in
popularity with our fellows through
an Indifferent and careless recognition
Of those wen-recognized conventions
and usages that have to do with our
social well-being. 1t is curious how
disposed we are to be punctilious about
the laws and conventions that have
to do with the commonplace things
of our everyday life, but when it comes
