ABUNDANT LIFE
BY ORAL ROBERTS
PRAYER PAYS OFF ON WALL STREET

Faith in God can affect you f.
nancially. The Bible states that
the love of money is the root of
all evil-not money in itself.
Money is neither good nor bad.
It's morality is determined by
what we do with it.
God wants our souls to be en-
riched and blessed. He wishes
us physical prosperity also be-
cause 8 John 2 states Beloved,
l wish above all things that thou
mayest prosper and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth."
There are hundreds of people
who are reaping the benefits of
real partnership with God.
Here is the testimony of a f.
nancial advisor Of national prom
tnence whose firm is located on
Wall Street, N. Y. City. His or
ganization has been paid more
than $17,000,0 900 just for advice
alone. AS a youth, he attended
Harding College, Searcy, Ark,
a school controlled by the
Church of Christ. He was in
spired by it's president. James
w. Harding. who took practical
~ all of his daily problems to
God in prayer and taught his
students to do likewise.
Consider the answer that this
nan received to his prayer:
1T was the most important
BUSINESS deal Of my life-more
'han a million dollars was at
stake. But everything went
wrong. l couldn't figure it out.
It seems someone in the organi-
cation was embarrassing us.
but who? We puzzled over it
e iceedingly. until one morning
my wife said, This is beyond

THE ACCOMPLISHED FACT

THERE IS REALLY nothing surprising about Gov
eminent Secretary John D. Merwin being elevated to
the Governorship of the Virgin Islands. Many persons
caught the idea almost from the very beginning. In fact,
the orientation period was almost too obvious to be
missed.
W THOUGHTS COME to mind as to the &C
complished fact. John D. Merwin should make a good
Governor. He knows, or should know, his fellow Virgin
Islanders. He has lived here, and his father and grand
father before him set down their roots here. He is young
and vigorous, and has the training and background re
CURED for the position.
THE NAMING OF another local person to the po-
sition is a great step forward in the entire scheme of
se1f-government for these Islands. 1t is a wonderful
thing that there are capable people, serious men and
women, trained in the arts and sciences and the profes-
sions, people who form a reservoir upon which we can
draw for leadership. And this case is one.
H SECOND THOUGHT is that all this talk about
not being ready should be dispelIed once and for all. It
is to be hoped that as the new Governor goes about his
task, as he faces Congress, the Interior Department, the
Virgin Islands Senate. and the people themselves, he
will come to grips with himself and concede' that ear
lier statements to the effect that we were not yet ready
were not only ill-timed. but irrational.
THE TASK OF good government lies ahead. Mr..
Merwin takes the helm at a most fortunate time. The
affairs Of state are in fairly good shape, and thus form
the basis upon which to build. His task will involve,
above all, being Governor Of ALL the Virgin Islands,
and Of being able to see and know, and deal with all the
problems Of all the people in a manner which would
dispel any idea that either his thinking or his actions
are necessarily restricted.
THIS PAPER continues to stand where it has al

ways stood with respect to Mr.. Merwin, and that is that
his appointment is a good thing for these Islands. And
we believe that the people Of this island, and the entire
group will go along. With tolerance and understanding,
the new chief executive should be among the most sue
cessful governors these Islands ever had. We wish him
well.

Ship Back Home
From Lebanon

NORFOLK, Va. Aug. 16 (AP) =.
The USS Mount Mckinley,
the first ship taking part in the
Lebanon landings to return to
the States. came home today
after a long eight months tour
Of duty.
The flagship of Transport
AmphibiouS Squadron Four, the
Mount Mckinley was welcomed
at the Naval Base by an esti-
mated 800 wives, children and
other relatives waving and
shouting greetings.
Commander M. D. Wiviott,
representing Vice Admiral B.
Hall Hanlon, commander of the
Atlantic Amphibious Force. and
other officers were on hand for
the occasion.
1T turned out to be a right
nice cruise, didn't it?" shouted
q greeter from the pier.
The skipper. Capt. Francis j.
Blouin, and the ships company
of $50 men and 80 officers,
agreed that it was quite
cruise.
Originally scheduled to start
home in mid-May. the Mount
McKinley'S return was twice de-
layed by events in the worlds
current No. trouble spot, the
Middle East.
The ship transported the first

in May because of an alert due
to tension in the Middle East.

poration. It often strangles q
smaller one.
The difnculty Of getting
loans and capital is an i'm
mense factor. While stiff credit
requirements :, may annoy q
large corporation, they fire.
quently destroy q smaller one
which can't get the cash 1t
must have In time and at Q
price it can afford to pay.
Taxes are q brutal killer. In
prosperous periods the tax bur-
den doesn't permit q smaller
firm to accumulate q nestegg
to carry it through rougher
times. Again. while the tax
load may slash q big company's
net profits, 1t often wipes out
q smaller one.
And this era Of fierce COM
petition is proving the final
blow to painful numbers Of
little businesses. The price wars
which have followed the aban-
doning Of fair trade on small
appliances may be building
plenty Of business for the big
stores, and they're certainly
giving consumers a chance to
grab some bargains, but the
wars also are looming small
appliance retailers the Nation
over.
There's nothing new about
the plight of small business.
The only news is that the plight
is getting steadily worse.
What, then, did the first ses-
sion Of the S5th Congress, and
what did the administration do
about 1t last year?
Nothing.
Oh, there was plenty Of talk.
There were lots of proposals,
promises. speeches. pledges,
hearings, "tidbitS" of assist
ance. But when you ask what
important and practical moves
were made, the answer must be:
Nothing significant was done.
What. then, is the outlook
for 1858?
Because Of the business re-
cession, because this is an
