Christ Broke The Path

It's strange isn't it, to think of Gods becoming man -
To think that He was born a helpless infant, just as we are born
helpless infants; that He grew from childhood to manhood; that
he ate and drank, shivered and perspired; that at times He got
tired and sat down to rest; that He died and was buried, like any
other son of man.
He did ii, He told us, to be our example in all things. And
that is the key to His resurrection. If He was our example in LIE,
then He was our pathfinder in death, toe. We can't believe that He
set aside His humanity at the resurrection. No the tomb was empty
He had His human body with Him. The difference is that it was
now glorified. Notice how the apostles were tempted to believe
that He was no longer man; but Our Lord pointedly ate dinner
with them to show that He was still human, because everyone
knows that a ghost has no stomach. Another time, He had st.
Thomas push his finger into the nail-holes and drop his hand into
His slit side. You can't fool any ghost, and Thomas seemed to have
been satisfied that it was his friend Jesus Christ, for he dropped
to his knees at once and cried out - my Lord and My God"
Then this is our ordinary human destiny: to be born, to die,
and to rise again. That is the only conclusion we can logically draw,
especially in view of Our Lords many assertions during His life
time II am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in
me, although he be dead, shall live; and everyone that iiveth and
ibeieveth in me shall not die forever John, 11:25, 26).
Our Lord might have switched He might have changed
from man to God; He might have left His body in the grave and
flashed over the hills and lakes of Gailee like the Tightening ap-
pearance of God in the Old Testament but no, He takes with
Hin the body we know, the face kissed by Judas, and the feet
,anointed by Magdelene. 1t is the same Jesus before and after. So
that if His previous life was like ours and a pattern for ours, then
this present life, this risen life, is a token, a pattern, a demonstra-
aion of what we are destined to experience in the life to come.

State Motorists Tax
Rate Higher Than
Federal Income Tax

JACKSON, March 22-The average
Mississippi motorist pays taxes on
his motor vehicle at a rate higher
than his Federal income tax accord
ing to Roy l.. Heidelberg, President
of the Mississippi Automobile Club.
His statement was based on the
$106 which he estimated that the
average Mississippi motor vehicle
owner pays in State and Federal
gasoline taxes, State registration fees
and Federal automotive taxes each
year.
with an exemption for a wife
and two children, the motorist would
need an income of $3.50 to pay a
Federal income tax of $106. But stu
dies have shown that the majority
of motorists are found in income
brackets well below this figure" Mr.
Heidelberg declared.
I'VE all recognize that the Federal
income tax is high. so high that Con-
gress is now working on legislation
to reduce it," he continued. "But it
is not generally realized that auto
motive taxes are an even a
burden for most motorists.
"This might come as a great sur
prise to people who do not realize
! that the gasoline tax alone amounts
to almost 5 cents on every gallon
the result of a 6 cent State tax, a IL
cent Federal tax and a 2 per cent
State sales tax. When State regis
tration fees and the numerous FEEDER
al automotive excuses are added to
this. we naturally have a stupen-
dous tax burden"
He concluded: "The very size of
this special tax burden should spur
the motorist to action. He should in
sist that motor vehicle and motor
fuel taxes paid to the State be ex-
pended in such a way as to give the
greatest possible road value for each
dollar on these special tax contribu-
tons"

TIN CRISIS-America's huge re-
quirements for rubber and tin before
the war were supplied almost en-
tirely by the Far East. When Japan
succeeded in hating this traffic for
four long years, our scientists rose
to the occasion. We all know the
story of synthetic rubber, but have
you ever wondered how the tin cri-
sis was met? The scientists could not
develop a synthetic tin, of course,
but they solved the problem never
theless, by finding ways to get along
with less tin in solder, in tin cans
and in other products. Last week the
savings achieved by the can makers
were revealed in American Can
Company's report to stockholders
Said the report:
THE company played an impor-
tant part in developing tin conserv-
ing plates and soldiers which were
unheard of a few years before the
war and which have resulted in saw
ing more than 10000 tons of this
scarce metal in the can manufac-
turing industry alone. Had it not
been for this saving there would not
have been enough tin left in the ma
TONS stockpile to can even the 1916
food crops"

Behind The Scenes In
AMERICAN BUSINESS
BY KNIGHT

NEW YORK, March 22-Econom-
lists r cautiously voicing the opin-
ion that the steam is escaping from
the boom.
Retailers are frankly worried by
this years 'early Easter" Manufac-
turers are showing increasing un-
easiness by curling inventories and
instituting operating economies on
| a broad scale.
But several basic economic "cush-
ions" are being overlooked in these
gloomy reckonings. One underlying
support is in industry's sic billion
yearly spending for new plants and
equipment. Another is public con-
t~sruction.
Regardless of price flurries in
securities, commodities and retail
markets, industry for the third
straight year is spending more for
durable facilities than ever before.
Public construction contract awards
are up more than 800 per cent over
q year ago. State and municipal pub
lie works postponed during the war
years are expected to keep public
construction at high levels.
EMPLOYEE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
prop to the boom is the continued
high purchasing power of employees
generally. In a move that may point
the way for other industries to assist
their employees in meeting higher
living costs during periods when
they are disabled, Schenley Distillers
Corp. recently expanded its work
mems compensation program. Under
this plan, all Schenley employees
are guaranteed their full salary for
sixteen weeks when they are absent
from work because of a disability in
Cured on the job. If the disability
lasts longer than sixteen weeks they
are assured of two-thirds of their sal
airy for the following thirty-six
weeks.
Under the Schenley plan, which is
believed to be the first of such scope
to be offered to distilling company
employees, the company will make
up the difference in the state allow
able compensation and the employ
ee's regular salary. More than $4,000
employees in several states are
covered by the plan.
