Tamara obiediently went into the
sitting room and did her best to talk
to Mr.. Houston Hickey. She saw in
stantly that she bored him terribly
and that he preferred absorption In
his own thoughts to anything she
could say, but there seemed to be
nothing else to do but sit on, on the
edge Of the tumbled couch, and timid-
ly offer him one conversational over

them as these that have turned the
world upside down." drove them forth
by night to Berea. Here open-minded
lovers Of Gods word received them

Paul the Prisoner

Christian life and service were spent
as a prisoner, two years at Caesarea,
enc year en- route to Rome, incident to
his appeal to Caesar, and two years in
Rome, followed by a second Roman

rather than economic. Whether a
young couple is willing to sacrifice to
have babies is a question of character
The number of small homes being
built today is problem. Most indus
tries have come back in fine shape;
but the building of small homes is still
far below normal. Most of today'S
genuine unemployment is directly or
indirectly in the building trades. The
Guiding of a small home requires
many men and helps twenty-seven diff
ferent industries. The making of
many consumer goods, on the other
hand, is largely an automatic opera
ton. Hence, the question whether you
build a home or spend your surplus
money for movies, smokes, drinks,
and useless frills is very important to
the nation. Yet, the answer to your
qestion depends to a large extent on
your character.
Many Wage Increases.
Looking ahead at 1887, the one de-
velopment I fear most is that too
many employers and wage workers
will come into conflict during the
year. Some employers will be too hun
ers will be too hungry for publicity.
! The year 1887 should see many wage
| adjustments. These should be brought
about peacefully. All parties should sit
around the same table and discuss
the matter amicably Arbitration such
as this requires an unselfish attitude
on the part of both employers ano
wage earners. Surely this means thai
the leaders of industries and leaders
of wage groups alike must be men Of
character.
I suppose the most basic fundamen
tai of real and lasting prosperity is
honesty. This covers all phases of life
from giving an honest wage and ar
honest days work to practising hon
esty in advertising, sales, and all per
sonal relations. There can be no rea
prosperity without confidence in the
honesty of each other. To have con
fidence, we must establish reputa
ton for honesty and integrity in al
our work and all our dealings We
must pay our bills promptly, live w
to our promises, and give full value
for what we receive. This means cut
ting out gambling either in Wal
Street or at the race track!

Imprisonment, ending in his execution
In none of these did he regard him
self as the prisoner of Nero, but al
ways as "the prisoner of Jesus
Christ" can ambassador in bonds"
In prison he was none the less active
as an evangelist and missionary, MAX
ing missionaries of his Roman guards

Out of these captivities came such
prison epistles' as "Ephesians, Phil
lippians, Coiossians, Philemon and

in his lifetime preached from his pri
son to the ends Of the earth, and
through which to this day che being

ed to the utmost secrecy, none of the
details of the report or of the recon-
mendations Of the commission has
been learned here as yet. But there
have been definite intimations that
the model appropriations bill which
is a part of the report, provides for
good sized increase, in the appro-
priations for the next two years. The
general fund budget for this fiscal
year, as adopted by the 1885 General
Assembly, calls for expenditures
amounting to approximately $32,5O0,
600, exclusive of the highway appro-
priation. The various State depart
ments and institutions, including the
public schools asked the Advisory
Budget Commission for appropria-
tions totaling $41,5O0,OOO a year for
each year of the new biennium, an in
crease of 100000 of which $6,OOO,-
600 would go to the public schools.
1t is not expected that the Budget
Commission will recommend a budget
and appropriations bill calling for as
much as 81, 100000, but a good many
believe it will recommend a bill call
ing for about $36,5OOOOO.

man is employed? Frankly, it is his
character.
Prosperity depends upon keeping
all factors in balance. There Is little
danger from production provid-
ed each factory increases its output
proportionately. If, however, one in
dustry gets out of line, there can
easily be trouble. For instance, so long
as the output of mems clothing in
creases 10 per cent year, the manu-
facturers of buttons can advance their
production 10 per cent per year. It,
however, would be very easy for one
factory to over-step and turn out a
surplus of bottoms with resulting shut
downs and unemployment. Now what
determines whether a manufacturer
kicks over the applicant for his entire
industry? The answer depends upon
his character
Babies or Automobiles.
For a nation to be prosperous, every
one who wants to work should be en-
titled to a job. This is fundamental.
But somebody must stay at home and
raise the children. All men cannot be
executives, clerks, or statesmen. All
girls cannot be secretaries, steno-
graphers, or sales girls. Unless this
nation is going to smash, the raising
and training of children must be look
ed upon as far more worthy a job
than any other Kind Of work. If a
young couple must choose between
buying home or an automobile, they
should select the home. The best in
vestment still is milk for the baby.

in fact, money is often handicap to
character. Character is not obtainable

fact, education is a tool which can be
used either to destroy or upbuild.

however, and the drive to hasten their
movement into new owners hands
has not been permitted to lag.
Motor vehicle revenue diversion has
added an average of % to 43 per cent
to motorists gasoline tax cost in three
States, according to the American
Petroleum Industries Committee. The
three States investigated were Florida,
Georgia and Louisiana.
Florida has been diverting gasoline
taxes since 1927, and S32.7l4,796 of
such revenue has been applied to non
highway purposes prior to 1885. Dur
ing the same period Florida motorists
paid $1O8317 900 in gasoline taxes, or
an average Of 6 cents per gallon.
Had all gasoline taxes been used on
the highways a tax of 4 4l-5 cents per
gallon would have been sufficient.
A similar analysis made by the COM
mittee covering diversion in Georgia,
where the practice was originated, re-
vealed that Georgia motorists paid an
average of cents gallon, whereas
a tax of cents would have produced
approximately the same amount of
money as was used on the highways.
In Louisiana 1t was found that mo-
torists paid an average tax of AIS
cents per gallon during the period be-
tween 1880 and 1884. whereas it would
have been possible to reduce this tax
/ cent a gallon had diversion been
eliminated.
