PILGRIM REST CHURCH

Rev Joseph Jackson spoke at
the morning worship hour on the
subject, The Net. The text was
selected from Matthew l3:47-5O.
As Rev. jackson explained the
significance of the parable, he
said that the net is emblematic
of the Gospel of the grace of God:
the invitation of the Gospel is
Observation-Disclosures will may
come. But the net of Gods saving
grace will not always be in the
sea of this world; the present
privilege and opportunity of sal
walton will close. While in the
sea, the good and bad fish swim
together, as in the church today,
the true Christian and the hypo-
critic worship together. One $
character determines his destiny.
There are those who boast that
they are as good as their neigh
Dor. But the Lord knoweth them
that are His and the wicked shall
not escape"
Among our visitors were Mrs.
Pearl Smith, the sister-in-law of
Rev. Jackson: Mrs. Ruby Grant

message contrasting the home of
Job. where all activity Centered
around the home and the present
home, where adults and youth
feel they must get away from for
their pleasure. Rev. Davis also
emphasized the fact that Job re-
CogniZed his responsibility as

sinned not, nor charged God fool
ishly. Rev. Davis's message was

he tried to influence the RFC in

exerted such influence, but also

Farm Bureau Backs
$40 Billion Tax Rise,
Blasts Bond Pegging
BY the Associoied Press

The American Farm Bureau
Federation today indorsed Presi-
dent Truman's call for a quick
$40 billion tax increase, bit con-
demned the price-pegging of Gov
ernment bonds as infla tiorary.
Allan B. Kline. president of
the farmers organization. told the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee that pay-as-We-go taxation is
an essential part of the fight
against imitation, but rot a COM
plete solution in itself.
One of the most important fac
tors, he said in a prepared state
ment, is proper management of
the public debt.
"The time has come" he said.
"for the Federal Reserve System
to discharge its statutory respon-
sibilities by relating its purchases
and sales of Government obliga-
tions to the Nations need for
money and credit-even though
this will result in higher inter-
est rates.
Higher Cost on Public Debt.
THE present Government policy
on pegging the price of Govern
ment bonds is infationary. 1t puts
money in the hands of the pub
lie and, more Importantly, it puts
reserves in the hands of the banks.
This is the key to the fact that
money in circulation went up ST
billion from Korea to the end
of 1880"
The Treasury and the Federal
Reserve Board have been at odds
for months over this policy. Treas
ury Secretary Snyder says there
. is no proof that a general increase
in interest rates, such as might be
occasioned by failure of the board
to support Government bonds at
par, would be any significant blow
at imitation. But there is no doubt
at all that higher interest rates
would cost hundreds of millions
of dollars more in managing the
public debt, he contends.
The issue was aired yesterday in
the Senate by Senator Douglas,
Democrat, of Illinois, who con-
demned the bond-buying policy as
inf1ationary and suggested con-
gressional action to stiffen Re-
serve Board resistance to White
House and Treasury pressure in
the controversy. Senator Doug
las got support from Senator Taft
Republican, of Ohio.
Opposed to U. S. Sales Tax.
On taxes, the Farm Bureau
group expressed willingness to &C
along with Mr.. Snyder's plan to
raise an additional 81 billion from
increases in the individual income
tax, SO billion more from corpora
tions and an extra billion from a
selected list of excise levies.
Mr.. Kline said his group is 'un-
alterably opposed" to any Federal
sales tax. The administration
has not formally proposed such a
levy, but various lawmakers have
discussed it as a possibility.
Donald j. Thompson, Washing
ton director of the National Small
Business Mems Association, urged
the committee to hold up any ac-
ton on taxes until Congress has
