Can We Au0id Ruin0us Initiation?
S. HorryF +. Byrd

Everybody knows now that
America is menaced in the years
ahead with an initiation that could
wipe out savings and impoyerish
millions who are living on fixed
incomes. Is there any way We can
keep this from happening? Let us
study this question from the bot
tom up:
A country is suffering from in
flation when a unit Of currency
buys less and less. Our money
supply consists of two elements
h c ACKNOWLEDGEMENT dollars
we carry in our blllfolds four
actual hand-to-h hand currency. and
the dollars We carry in our check
ing accounts our demand bank de
posts. It is in the latter that nine
tenths of the country's business is
transacted
Our total money supply increased
from 36 billion dollars at the end
Of 1889 to IS billion in April 1858
jump of 275 per cent. In III c
same period the rate of production
of industrial goods Increased only
ll9 per cent The cost of living
went up l03 per cent.
In other words. through We have
more than doubled our rate Of por-
ducing goods in the last two de-
cades. we have almost quadrupled
the supply of money, AS we have
increased the supply Of money
faster than the supply Of goods.
money has become cheaper in
terms of goods. and goods have be-
come dearer in terms Of money
prices have risen.
Obviously the way TO stop in
1atlon is to stop increasing the
supply Of money faster than the
supply Of goods. We must stop
manufacturing money. There are
several ways in which we have
been manufacturing it. but l wish
to concentrate on Just one, which
seems to me the most important.
When the government spends
more than it collects in taxes. the
difference constitutes deficit.
How does the government pay for
this deficit spending? 1t sells its
IO.U.'s notes. certificates. bills,
etc. 10 the banks. The banks pay
for them by putting a deposit
credit on the books for the amount
Of the government I.O.U.'s and the
government can then draw checks

dollars are in effect manufactured.
This is what Is meant BY deficit
financing
From my experience in the
Senate, dealing with annual bud
gets for p years. l long ago came
to this conclusion: federal deficit
spending has been the greatest
single factor in the cheapening Of
the value Of our money.
1t follows that the most import
ant single step that we must take,
if we wish to half initiation. is to
balance the federal budget and as
sure our people that it Will stay
balanced except in extreme emer-
gency We will never halt Initiation

Instead Of a Cross?
Lesson for October 20, 1858

THE TEMPTATIONS OF Jesus
have been the subject Of tens Of
thousands OF words explaining
them. Some people seem unwilling
to believe that Jesus could ever
have been really tempted. or course
il he could not really be tempted,
he could not really be human. Being
tempted Is not the sin. It Is yielding
to it that Is the defeat.

Looking at the temptations OF
jesus from this angle, we can SEQ
that the first two OF them were
temptations to use his great pow
ers in ways that were good
only not the best Remember Jesus
had at this time never performed a
miracle. II is quite possible thet
he was conscious OF posscssir
surernorinal powers. and II -
must have given thought to the
question, What should he do with
his power? This is a special form
Of the problem every Christian
must decide: How shall I use the
gifts and the powers which God
has given me?
Tho first temptation suggested
that he use these powers to feed
the hungry. We forget jesus over
flowing generosity if we fancy that
II he had turned stones into bread,
it would have been used as food
for himself alone Stones are use
less, bread Is useful. The country
was burdened with hungry people.
What was wrong with feeding
them with miracle bread? Nothing
was wrong with 1t. The point was.
it was less than the best use he
could make Of his God given
powers.
The second temptation was like
the first. He was tempted TO per-
form a miracle In the most public
and spectacular fashion. He was
invited to defy the law OF gravity
to prove that God would take care
OF his own no matter what. Who
will deny that Jesus could have
won friends and influenced people
by such astounding miracles? But
he would not do It. It wasn't that
the thing was sinful In itself. 1t
was the wrong way to the throne.
Bad Means 10 Good Ends
In the third temptation, Jesus
was tempted In a different way,
namely to attain his great purpose
Of setting up universal kingdom,
by the use OF bad ends. Here he Is
tempted to something evil in it.
self, but the end In view, namely
control Of the Kingdoms Of tho
world, would surely justify what
ever method Jesus mioht take to
achieve that end. Or so the tempter
might argue. But Jesus knew bet
ter. He knew that II an act Is really
evil, all the good intentions In the
world. all the noble purposes Of a
Messiah himself, will not glorify
the evil thing.
Jesus was born to be king, king
Of mankind. But he would not be
the King Of the Full Stomach, he
would not be the King Of the AS
tonished Mind Still less would he
be the King Of what could be seen
from the devils most high-fying
airplane. He would be king Of
mems hearts. He would be the
Savior-king. Lord Of transformed
hearts. And this he could be only
by going to the cross. For that,
after all, is what all these tempta-
tons were: signposts pointing him
down this way and that. away from
the cross. If he had taken those BY
ways, he could not have become
what he Is, Savior Of the world.
