on Gods clock. When will the judg-
ment be? The disciples wanted to
know, but Jesus did not tell them.
He did not claim to know, himself,
when it would be MARK 1882
What he did say was. Watchl There
Is q sense in which Gods judg-
ments are going on all the time.
The end of your world will come
In your own lifetime, whoever you
are; for there is not much differ
ence whether the world folds UP
and leaves you or whether you
fold up and leave the world.
Death Is the end Of the world
for every one who dies. Fur
Their, whenever q person suf-
fers by and because of his own
wrong-doing, here In this Life
and on this earth, God Is judy
Ing him by the eternal moral
Laws which are the very warp
and filling Of the fabric Of life.
There L. also q sense in which
God judges societies and nations.
We have recently seen how ter
rible a judgment Germany drew
down on its head. The nation that
takes the sword shall perish by
the sword. The nation that sets out
to enslave others by force will
come under the same death-sen-
tence that cut down Assyria and
Rome and Japan and Germany. But
not all Gods judgments are on this
earth. God does not settle
all his accounts in October" There
is a final accounting, and no man,
in this life or any other. can escape
that solemn meeting with God.

US. Chamber Wants Sellers
To Absorb Freight Rates
BY the Associated Press

Members of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce have voted
overwhelmingly to ask Congress
for a law to permit sellers to abb
sorb freight rates in figuring
prices.
The national headquarters said
a preliminary count completed
today showed a vote Of 3,151 to
40 in favor of legislation to "clar-
ify the status of delivered pricing
practices"
Many industries for years sold
their products at a fiat price, de-
livered anywhere in the country.
To do this they had to absorb
freight rates. which would have
made the items costlier to far
away consumers, cheaper to those
near the source of manufacture.
But a recent Supreme Court
ruling in a cement case said this
was illegal, as handled by the
cement industry. There were
charges of colluSion and price
fixing. AS a result the steel in
dustry, as we'll as the cement
industry, stopped the practice.
Other industries haven't been
sure what to do.
