Weekly Short Sermon
By DR.. A. G.. Bearer
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
(ANAKIM)

Text: And we saw the giants, the
son Of Anak, there.-Numbers 1888.
Anakim is the pural Of the term
Anak. Anak means giant, so Anakim
would mea giants. Moses had sent
out men to make a survey Of the land
which the Lord had promised to the
children Of Israel. Two Of these spies,
Caleb and Joshua, carried back good
reports. The others presented dis
couraging reports. They said excit-
ingly I'VE saw giants, the sons Of
Anak there; in comparison, we are
but grasshoppers and we cannot over
come them" And they were ready
to turn back from the very borders of
the Land of Promise. The good spies,
Caleb and Joshua said, eyes we did
see the Anakim there, but we are
able to overcome them; so, let US go
up and possess the land"
So, On the borders of some promised
land of golden opportunity many be-
come discouraged because of the gil
gantic difficulties encountered. They
say, 'These difficulties are giants
they are like mountains. we cannot
overcome them" And they turn back
and lose their quest because Of weak
e and cowardice. But, those who
are brave, courageous and strong
hearted will press on-and they will
win in spite Of the Anakim who may
oppose. Let US be good spies-like
Caleb and Joshua and defy the Ana
kim.

Business reports are encouraging.
The country S experiencing gradual
improvement in about every line of
~endeavor.
Trade, according to Dun & Brad
street, is rising above the levels of
1880 and 1881. Where, at the begin
ming of 1882, that company3s business
activity index stood at SOL, it now
touches Ia gain of As per cent.
This increase S largely due to retail
distribution gains, which are 5 per
cent above last year in New England,
8 to II per cent up on the Pacific
Coast, and 20 to 80 per cent improved
In the Middle West, with the balance
OF the country showing rises Of from
II to Is per cent. Reports from grain
and livestock markets are also en-
couraging.
Steel production is at A per cent Of
capacity-a gain over recent levels.
1t is still advancing. Electric power
production shows some gains. The
construction industry long dormant,
is showing signs of recovery, due
principally to the activities of the
Housing Administration which, after
a slow start, seems to be gathering
momentum in its drive to make peo-
pie build and ~renovize their homes.
A recent Annalist statement. sent
out over the financial wires, said, in
effect, that all matters of interest to
business are overshadowed by the
possibilities inherent in the Supreme
Courts Forthcoming decision on the
gold seizure act. 1t seems sure, how
ever, that quick remedial action will
be taken If the Court holds against the
government-Congress is prepared
for an adverse decision and bills are
already drafted in cas- it again be-
comes necessary to revamp our mon
ey system.

COUNTING THE COST
By r. A. Adams

(For The Literary Service Bureau
No truly wise man eve will
Begin with haste undue, to build
A sup%erstructure, until he
Hath reckoned what the cost will be.
The wisdom of this course appears.
And has been proved, by many tears,
Of those whose fondest projects fell,
Because they did not reckon well.
So this advice I'd give to you:
Whatever you essay to do,
Lest al YOUR efforts should be lost,
First reckon what will be the cost.
This final thought: Ere works Of sin,
Ever in weakness you begin
Cost fully calculate, but know
The reaping vii be as you SOW.

According to the old saying, "The
mills of the gods grin dslowly-but
they grond exceedingly fine"
That adage a be accurately ap-
piled to the present congress, as it
considers the Presidents new recov-
cry and relief program. 1t is moving
slowly, it is talking a good deal and
it is gradually grinding out legisla-
ton toward the two principal pro-
jects Of the White House-social secur-
ity, and an unprecedentedly vast pub
lie works program, designed to elimi-
nate the dole.
The public works program is of the
most immediate interest. 1t will cost
! 1900, 00O, 00O-the largest draft ever
drawn against the United States
Treasury for any single purpose. 1t
viii put about 100000 men to work
directly. And, if the Presidents hopes
m~aterialize it will put another $780,
600 to work indirectly, in jobs created
by the spending power of the first
$500, OOO.
Equally important are the promised
principles upon which the program is
predicted. All work is to be useful.
in that it will either permanently i'm
prove living conditions or create new
wealth. Pay for workers will be
above the present "dole" level-but
will be low enough so that the men
employed will still keep an eye out for
jobs in private business. Projects Will
be selected so as to use the largest
possible amount Of labor for the mon
ey spent. The money will be allotted
on the basis of the greatest need
that is, a state which has 20 per cent
Of its people on relief Will get more
than a state which has but ten per
cent on relief. 1t is said the public
works program will avoid competition
with private enterprise, which is JUS
tiiably jittery about government &C
t~ivities in the industrial field.
The list of possible public works has
not been completed, but a number are
known. Public buildings will be one
Bridge building will be another. Soil
conservation and sanitation will come
in for their share, as will tunnels,
flood dams and forest conservation.
Road building will naturally be near
the head of the list.
There was considerable dissatisfac-
ton in Congress over the fact that the
President wants the public works
money under his control-Congress-
men wanted to distribute it them
selves. However this idea seems to
be definitely Qualification Of funds
will be in the jurisdiction of the
White House, through a board ap-
pointed by the President.
So far as the social security pro
gram is concerned, it is finding rather
hard going. 1t seems that every Con-
gresham has his own idea as to how
the i'll, the aged and the unemployed
should be aided-there is much argu-
ment, many words and little agree
ment. By the time this is read, the
so-called Townsend Plan, whereby ev-
cry person over 60 would be given
S2OO a month by the government, will
probably have been introduced in the
over house-proponents of the plan
claim enough supporters to get it
through. The Presidents influence,
however, vii be thrown aggressively
against it and in favor Of a much
more moderate policy.

Heart within and God o'erhead."

She started toward the stars

when she had gone few steps
to give him one more glance.
This time there could be no
mistake. He was looking at her
with an expression of pity, but
he turned his eyes away almost
as soon as she encountered his
gaze.
Millicent decided that, after all,
it was merely her imagination.
She climbed the stairs to the
second floor. An elevator was in
one corner of a big room, divided
| into stalls in which automobiles
were parked. side by side.
Millicent found the car she

away.

the rear Of that car, someone
who was now moving.

NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XLIII
Millicent remained flattened
against the wall of the doorway,
She could hear the pounding of
her heart. She could also hear
the pounding of steps on 'thep
avement as Vera Duchene and
Bob Caise came walking directly
toward her.
What had brought them? Had
they trailed her in some way, OF
was it merely a coincidence that
she had Numbered upon them?
She had no means of knowing,
but she sensed that where" she
discovered in this deserted side
street she would probably never
live to tell of her encounter.
Ever since she had seen those
sinister dark splotches in the
room where Norman Happ had
gone to call upon the mysterious
Phyllis Faulconer she had real
lied the desperation of the peo-
pie who were opposing her.
The murder of Drimgold and
the murder of Harry Fielding had
somehow not driven the situation
home to her, as had those SIMS
ter marks.
Vera Duchene and her escort
walked directly past the doorway.
Millicent caught her breath in a
quick intake as Vera Duchene's
arm almost brushed against her
shoulder. She expected momen-
tarily to hear Vera cry out,
"There she isp' and to feel Bob
Caise's hands clutching at her
throat. -
