How Is the capitalistic system
able TO take care of the Amer
lean people so much better than
any other system? The answer Is
that our system provides the
needed incentives; llsl
/. Being able to own private
property gives a man a reason
to work--something to work for.
2. Our system of free enter
prise which rewards a man for
successful competition-whether
II is competing to make automo-
biles or hair tonic--is the second
big incentive which makes cap
italism so successful in this
country.
Under Communism these two
incentives are suppressed. In
stead, people are supposed to
work hard for others, for the
brotherhood OF man. This is very
noble. and of course human ma
tire is capable of great altruism.
But while the motives are GER
tainly nobler than the desire TO
build up property and excel at
competition. the great run OF
people are simply not capable at
this point Of working as hard for
others as for personal gam. 40
II is very doubtful that altruism
will build as many automobiles
as beng rewarded materially for
ones work.
II is hardly possible that work.
ing for altruistic reasons would
make US better off materially.
1t must further be added that
the American worker is the high
est paid worker in the world
and his standard of living is
higher than the worker in any
other country. And the Ameri-
can worker is working under the
capit9listic system.
Russians who have escaped"
from the country tell Of terrible
economic tangles brought about
by mistakes in deciding prob

II gives too much power TO
men who do not have to state
their plans for the country be-
fore they go into office. In Rus
STA none of the population knows
how their leaders stand on va
rious points until after these
leaders have acted. (20)

SERMONETTES
PRAY FOR STRENGTH

And he was parted from them
about a stones cast; and he
kneeled down and prayed, say
ing, Father, IL thou be willing,
remove this cup from me: never
theless not my will. but thine, be
done. And there appeared unto
him an angel from heaven,
strengthening him.-Luke 22:4i-
43.
Into every life there comes a
time of crisis. Sometime we
must go in search of some power
to strengthen us. This is one of
the reasons men find God.
Jesus constantly relied upon
God as source of strength for
His life. When Jesus prayed, IF
1t be thy will, let this cup pass
from my lips" it was not In the
spirit of resentfulness or of re-
belliousness toward God. Jesus
was merely acknowledging h e
fact thata if it could be any other
way God would make 1t possible.
With this faith and love in his
heart for his Father, Jesus said,
Not my will but thine be done"
In submitting himself to Gods
will he found himself in complete
harmony with his Father and thus
received strength to go even to
the cross, g. an angel from
heaven strengthened him."
Abraham Lincoln said. 81 have

viction that l had nowhere else
