slowed on the churches of Mace

Jerusalem Christians, and to in
spire the church at Corinth to give
literally, he uses the example OF
Christian giving as found in Mace
donia.
v. 2. "How that in great trial
of affliction the abundance of their
joy and their deep poverty abound
ed unto the riches of their liber-
atty" The very fact that they
experienced great trouble and eX-
treme poverty made them the more
sympathetic with others in like cir
cumstances, so that in their giving
they experienced unusual happi-
ness.
V. 3. "For to their power, I bear
record, yea, and beyond their power
they were willing of themselves. .
They gave Of their own accord free
will offerings because they gave
more than they could afford.
v. 4. praying us with much en-
treaty that we would receive the
gift, and take upon us the fellow

what he would not have asked be-
cause he knew their poverty.

we hoped, but first gave their own
selves to the Lord, and unto us by

that We abound in this grace also.
A Christian is decidedly lop-sided if
he abounds in other graces, but not
in liberality.
V. s. "I speak not by command
ment, but by the occasion OF the
of others, and to prove
the sincerity of our love" Paul
does not command liberality, but
presents a worthy example and
makes an appeal that they show
their love by their deeds.
v. 8. "For We know the grace
Of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
though he was rich, yet for your
sakes he became poor, that ye
his poverty might be rich"
Christ stands as our ideal at every
point.

RUSSIA TO KILL
 BIRTH CONTROL

Moscow, June 20. (UP)-The work of converting thousands of abortion clinics in the Soviet Union into maternity homes started today, uri- der the new law against abortions. The new law was issued as a decree on Saturday and became effective immediately. It abolishes abortions except to save the life of the mother or in cases of hereditary illness. The cost of diyorces was raised as much as 5000 per cent and divorces in which only one party appears were prohibited. Aliinony for the support of children was made compulsory.
 Retroactive bonuses were estab. iislied for large families. The budget for material assistance to mothers and children was greatly increased, providing 2,174, 100000 roubles in io36 for more hospitals, maternity homes, baby centers and large fam. fly bonuses, compared to S76, ,000, 900 roubles in 1885.
 Divorces which formerly cost three roubles now will cost 50 for the first one, l60 for the second and 300 for the third and subsequent ones. Under the present birth rate, . population of 30O,000,000 by 1871 was declared assured. The present population is 170.000,00O.

New York, June %. (UP)-A l0- kilowatt, $l.OO0.00O radio station atop the 102-story Empire State building began the first regularly scheduled television broadcast in America today.
 The Radio Corporation of Amer ica, staging the broadcasts and like wise paying more than 100 observers over Q 35-mile radius who will re- port reception, said their programs would be purely experimental but might be the last step in making television available for home use.
 Engineers working on the test inc dicated that they expect the field test to iron out kinks in their exc perimental equipment So fact that predictions about televislon's future would be rash. They said teleylsion may not be ready for mass produc- ton for years, but they also said fl might be ready in ons year.
