World Calendar

be observed as world holiday at the end
of each year, with another holiday inserted
at the middle of leap year
We would prefer - months of four
weeks each, with one world holiday each
year, if you so wished, and on Leap Year
an extra holiday. The 13-month calendar
would further standardize the work-week
and holidays. To take it one step further
all holidays might be placed on the week
end SO there would be long week end to
include the Sunday.
The unfortunate part about a new cal

This compares with an estimated pro-

the official predicts a drop Of approx
mately 100000 to 100000 units in 1854

To Be Assimiluted

Marbles are filling. but they are
not food. because they can't be
digested. Bread is food because
it is absorbed into the system. In
your bones and blood, in your
nerves and skin and glands today,
are the elements you have taken
in with the bread you have eaten
Some of it is stored up in the
fatcel.s which are the bodys re-
serve bank. Some of it builds up
various tissues. Some of it is ex-
pended in energy of living. The
bread has ceased to exist, as
bread, it does you good only be-
cause it has been assimilated, it
has become a part Of your muscle
and brain So Christ intends that
he shall be dssimilated by the
Christian. 1t is true Christian
cannot exist without Christ; but
we must think what that means.
Christ in picture on the wall is
only picture Christ as defini-
ton in a catechism is only a def
milton. Christ as a misunderstood
phrase in a creed is still only a
dim and perhaps meaningless
name. Christ as a historical per-
son is figure in history. no more.
It is only the sssinlilated Christ,
Christ taken into your system.
Christ part OF you, that is vital
in your days living How does
this take place? First Of all by
knowing HMM the Gospels, in
the New Testament, and then and
always as a living invisible Pres
ence, the inner Christ who takes
