ducer at the well head received
10.1 cents. Transmission and dis
| tribution costs account for the diff
ference, but only these 101 cents
are the subject of the Fulbright-
Harris bill.
Since only the price at the we'll
head is here the bone of contention,
these persons, through their prog
nostication of $500 million in added
consumer costs, must mean that
the gas producers will raise prices
from 10.1 cents to at least Is cents
On its face such an increase of
about $50 percent would be abso-
lutely absurd and would far out
strip the rise in the cost of living
of 48 percent during the nine year
period of 1945-1954. To the contra
Ply, consistent with the normal be-
havior of supply and demand, it
is highly conceivable that lower
prices of natural gas will result
from the Fulbright-Harris bill.
With needed price projections al
ready in the bill, one must con-
clude that these oppositionists are
engaged in "a bit of campaign ora
tory"

star. the world would never have
been thrilled by that golden voice.
Gods gifts plus our work, that is
the divine plan.
Nothing Too Small
All this is simply the principle
which the church calls steward
ship" 1t is simply recognizing
that what God gives us, we are
expected to use and make the
most of. in his service. The trou-
BILE right here is that most of US
are rather like that third man in
Jesus parable. We see these big,
able people going great guns,
we see what wonderful things 9TH
ers are doing, and we know very
well we can't do anything like
that so we don't try to do
anything. Now it should be noted
that in this little story, the return
ing king does not say to the sec
ond man, who made only five
pounds, you rascal, why didn't
you make ten like this other
mani" On the contrary he is
pleased with the man, promotes
him. What God really despises
is not small results; what he des-
pises is refusing to try. We are
not reasonable before God for
not being brighter or stronger than
we are. We are responsible for
what we do with such ability as
we have. whether small or great.
In the Church
See how this works out in the
life of the church. A superintend-
ent asks a girl to take childrens
class. Oh no, she can't do it, she
says, backing away. She hasn't
had experience, she isn't a pro-
fessional school teacher, she
hasn't had a lot Of education, she
isn't like that brilliant Mrs. So
and-So who was such a whiz of a
Sunday school teacher for twen-
ty years. So what? Suppose she's
not a topnotcher? She has had
little brothers and sisters, she
can learn the Bible, she loves her
Savior and she loves children too
Stewardship, for that girl, is not
what she can do with Mrs. So
and-So's brains and experience,
it's what she is willing to do with
her own. Or take a man who is
elected to a minor position in the
church. He doesn't think he can
do much in that office, SO he de-
clines it. But the question still
is-not. what can he do with an
office he doesn't have? But, what
will he do with the office he does
have? Another man does not con-
tribute to the church because he
has next to nothing he can give.
He is afraid of comparisons. But
God does not ask: How do you
compare? Only: Are you faith
full?

Gifts Of God

We call persons gifted when
they have some remarkable tai
ent or ability. When we say this,
we mean, or we ought to mean,
that mans capacities are not
his own invention, they are Gods
gifts. Two thoughts go together
here and must not be separated:
the first is that what we have to
start with and the opportunities
which life brings us along the
way. are really gifts of God. The
other thought is that God expects
us to develop these gifts, take adj
vantage of these opportunities, do
something with what we have.
Caruso the famous tenor said
once, modestly, that he deserved
no credit for his magnificent voice.
He was born with an extraordi-
nary muscular development in his
vocal cords, something possessed
by few men. Most men could not

they try On the other hand, if

This year, 'Bonjour Tristesse"
and FRANCHISE Sagan are about
to conquer America again. Re-
printed by Dell Publishing Com
pany in a 35e edition, the paper
back is on its way to selling a

there is no telling when Amer

study of love in modern France.

The story of girl, her father,
and his two mistresses, il was
told with such frank innocence
and perception, that FRANCHISE
became overnight the talk of all
France. The book won the COW
eted Prix des Critiques, and
was translated into a dozen
languages.
But il was the American edi-
ton that really catapulted Fran

dominating best-seller lists for
nearly a year, and for three

champion.
The final conquest came with

and who had been described by
a friend as "a strange mixture

ican hosts.
Those who had read her sem

delighted at the mingled inno-

Saturday was active thoroughly

of the local players discussed the

talked of the tennis game. The

pledges were made to form a
