CAN you HELP REDUCE COFFEE
PRICES7. YOU SURELY CAN

Can you help stop the advancing price Of coffee?
You surely How? BY the only means left open to
you - stop drinking coffee.
Don't say you can't. You can do anything you will
to do. Sometimes need incentives to put our wills to
work Let's take squint at the incentives the booming
price of coffee.
Recently. three American women toured Brazil to
try to learn the reasons for high coffee prices The first
thing the found was that laborers in coffee
fields received the magnificent pttance of 20
cents an hour.
Then the coffee growers must be cleaning ND"
That's not so. Their profits are much lower than
they were when coffee fairly cheap How about the
roasters? Their margin of profit is simmer than during
any other time since they have been in business.
you doubt that statement, ask the roasters in Key
West They will tell you they earned far more than they
do when they sold coffee at 40 cents pound To
sell their coffee they have to shave down their
gin of profit because Of the high price they pay for
coffee.
Fact is Key West coffee roasters pressed to the
utmost in their efforts to get slight margin of profit
Don't think for moment that Key West roasters are not
anxious you to the price of coffee drop Prob
ably they more anxious because their business is
threatened by the exorbitant cost of green coffee
Then who is getting the big profits? Spectators
in green coffee.
You may recall that several months ago, there was
much talk in Washington about putting the wraps on
coffee spectators The talk continued for few weeks
without any action having been taken And then sudden
y, the talk stopped, and has not since been revived
Why? You will have to get behind the scenes to find
out why Washington suddenly became mum about the
jackng up of prices for coffee. But Washington
seldom lets the public get behind the scenes All that is
left for the public to do is to conjecture Your guess
good anybody ese's.
Coffee spectators are worrying about only one thing
the falling off of the consumption of coffee in the United
States The last report stated that retail sales of coffee
had decreased Is per cent.
The American public, spurred on by what it con-
sders unfaness do anything its mind on do
ing And the public hot the heels of spectators
in green coffee.

This Rock
Of Ours
By Bill Glib

For five days a week, "This
Rock of Ours" concerns itself with
'devilish' things. The sixth day,
we look around and discover that
there is still cause for optimism
in this world. The majority of
people are basically good. They
can become better by taking a
more active part in religious af-
fairs.
To the best of my knowledge,
folks who attend church regularly
are not irreparably damaged. Oc-
casionally they suffer for awhile
by having their ego punctured.
And of course, their pocketbooks
are hurt because they usually feel
called upon to contribute a dime
or a quarter, (no state tax in
cluded), to the church till. Bar
ring thses minor incidents, church.
going people seem to enjoy them
selves.
How about you?
Willing to be a sport and investi-
gate what goes on behind those
four walls in the church down the
street? If it was a bar or a recrea-
ton spot, you'd probably already
have been inside looking the place
over!
Somehow, somewhere, unfavor-
able publicity has gotten out that
people who 60 to church are bigots.
That they live narrow, ignorant
life and are afraid to enjoy them
selves in a normal manner. If this
has been your impression, there is
no argument that ] can use to over
come it = used to say the same
thing myself. You can settle the
question by spending little time
this weekend mixing with church
members. Most of them are typi-
cal Americans with no tendency
toward ramming religion down
your throat.
Of course, there is another way
of looking at the subject too. After
all, neither the church you attend
nor its congregation is on trial.
Both have established themselves
in the eyes of the community and
= ] hope x in the eyes of God also.
You can look around and see if
''ey don't have something that you
are missing.

Elijah Rsbvkss Ahab. ! Kings
Il Nj.
Last Sunday we read of Israel's
purge Of prophets of Baal. Even
though the leaders of idolatry were
Eliquidated, others replaced them
and we find in today's lesson other
evils which reveals the depths to
which mans nature can stoop.
Nabofh A FrsshoIdsr
The lesson today presents the
picture of a modest subject and
neighbor of Ahab who had a most
attractive vineyard. No doubt Ma
both was industriously going quiet.
ly about his business of pruning the
vines, gathering the crop and trans
forming it into saleable product.
Naboth was what we would call
substantial citizen of Israel.
However he seemed to be too in.
dustrious. His vineyard was so at
tractive that King Ahab thought it
would make a nice garden since
it was next to his threshing floor
- not next to the palace. The King
was a land-grabber and sought to
pressure Naboth into selling his
inheritance Since it was property
handed down by his forefathers,
there was considerable sentiment
attached to the place. No doubt
with the price offered Naboth could
have found another place as good
and so accommodate the King-but
because it was his inheritance, and
since Jehovah forbids it" Naboth
refused to sell. Ahab knew the
man was right, but like a little
boy, he began to sulk and actually
went home and went to bed.
It is said that the Ford Factory
at Dagenham, England is built on
the land once owned by one John
Ward, a political land-grabber. AS
member of Parliament he was
able to buy a valuable piece of
property cheap because it was
flooded. He then had it drained at
public expense. A. prayer found
among his papers at his death
shows that like Ahab, he had de.
serted God. His prayers read, 90
Lord, thou knowest I have my es-
tates in the city of London, and
likewise that l have recently pur-
chased an estate in fee simple in
the county of Essex. l beseech thee
to preserve the two counties of
Middlesex and Essex from fire and
earthquake, and as have a mort
gage in Hertfordshire, beg thee
likewise have an eye of compass
sion on that county: as for the rest
of the counties, thou mayest deal
with them as thou are pleased. I"
Greed was the undoing of Ahab, of
John Ward, and of others who

all wives, she knew that something
was bothering him. It didn't take
her long to find out. She perhaps
already knew, Ahab knew the tea
chings of Moses which said among
|other things, $50 shall not the in
heritance of the children of Israel
remove from tribe to tribe; the
children of Israel shall cleave
everyone to the inheritance of the
tribe of his fathers" (Num. 36:7
This meant nothing to Jezebel, nei-
Their did it disturb her conscience
when she planned for the false wit.
nesses to swear that Naboth did
blaspheme God and the King, thus
committing treason.
Perjury is increasing at an alarm
ing rate. The practice of giving
the opposite meaning to honest
statements may have originated
among the leaders of a certain ma
ton, but the tragedy of it all is
that the same idea has spread to
this nation as well in this year of
our Lord 1854. 1t becomes far more
serious when the practice is being
introduced into the churches of
Christ which should be the very
essence of honesty and truth. Envy
and jealousy and greed is more
deadly than murder since it is sub.
tie and deceptive in its method and
execution. It is the very antithe-
sis of love and truth and right
eousness.
The TrovbIsr Appears
Elijah had been hid for some
time but now he boldly appears to
King Ahab and finds him taking
possession of the ill-gotten land.
The old prophet speaks and asks
question, "Hast thou killed, and
also taken possession" Some may
say that this is just story, but
what a true story! Too many to-
day have the greed of Ahab in us
but there is always an Elijah, a
conscience which asks, Have you
killed, have you taken possession"
Murderers may fool the law en-
forcement officers but they cannot
deceive God. Steal and we die,
morally and spiritually.
The Penalty
We call the lust for lard the
economic motive. We may salve
our conscience by saying that the
family, or others may benefit by
our shrewd schemes. Our casket
may be banked with flowers and
our remains carried by high-hat-
ted, white-gloved pallbearers but
the stencil of our nefarious acts
lives on and ascends to the very
doors of heaven itself, We carry
to our graves in our clutched
hands only that which we have
given away, not what we leave
behind.
Ahab died, not in Jezreel near
Naboth's vineyard but near Sa-
maria. Jezebel, the instigator of
! the crime, met a cruel death. She

was cast out of a window and the
dogs licked the blood as they had
when Naboth was stoned. Elijah.
the troubler of Israel, had pro-
nounced the judgement of God up
on the criminals and they met
their fate as had been predicted.
This story illustrates the eternal
truth that God demands morality
and righteousness of his people. He
Furnishes in one way or another
and we cannot evade the eternal
law as given by Moses on Mount
Horeb many long years ago. We
may lull ourselves into thinking
in this day of sharp practice
that a man is clever who can ac-
cumulate sufficient power to out
wit the honest and substantial
neighbor but we will never become
so progressive as to be rid of the
law, "as We sow, so shall We reap"
Conclusion
Sometimes we feel sorry for our
selves because we do not have what
others have. Ahab wanted what
Naboth had and since he couldn't
have it he went home and sulked.
Agnes Keith who spent some time
in a japanese prison camp said,
Women who feel sorry for them
selves and parade their ills are
close to the top as human NUS
ances. Even in a Japanese prison
camp it was not the mean, greedy,
dishonest, light fingered, violent
tempered women that the camp
resented. 1t was the fearful and
hysterical women who were sorry
for themselves"
