on used-car lots? ''The Economy"
is a phrase used so often nowadays
that even teen-agers must know in
general what it means. "The Econ
omy' is today's jargon for all the
financial doings that keep our in
dustrial and agricultural wheels
going, the word includes those four
pillars of all business anywhere
any time: production, marketing,
accounting and finance. Is God in
the economy of America?
Simple Honesty
Now it might be that not reader
of this column is a business man."
For all that, every reader is en-
gagged in business some way or
other part of the time. Money isn't
everything, but moneys into every
thing" If we live, breathe and eat
groceries, we are connected, more
or less, with the vast web of buy
ing, selling, owning, renting, earn
ing, spending Eyes and wasting,
which is economics gone mad), all
of which we lump together under
the head of 1.-THE Economy or just
economic life" Let us think not
of something big, something a con-
gresham might plan for. Let us
think of economics on Main Street,
at the supermarket, on the bus,
maybe our few dollars at the bank.
Let's forget about the hundred
dollar bills and think about small

change.
Are we honest about all these
things? Does our religion affect the
way we price what we have to sell
(if only few eggs or bales of
hay) Do we make honest state
ments about what we buy and sell?
The command of God is: Thou
shall not steal" Nothing said about
'"Thou shalt not steal a whole lot"
or "Thou shalt not steal unless thou
canst get by with it,! Taking any
kind of advantage of any other per-
son Cor corporation, for that mat
teri so that they are the poorer for
what you did, is stealing.
Is il a sin to be rich?
There are so many condemna-
lions of rich people in the Bible,
that some readers of it have the
impression that God condemns rich
people just because they are rich.
This is not true. A more careful
reading shows that whenever a
wealthy person is denounced in the
name of God, is isn't because of his
wealth, by itself. There are too
many highly-praised persons of
wealth in the Bible to allow us to
believe that wealth is a sin, period.
The point is not: How much do you
have? or, What is the amount, in
dollars, which is the limit good
Christian can have? The point is:
How did you get what you have?
Jesus brother James calls down
doom on certain rich farmers, not
because they had money but be-
cause their wealth was gained by
underpaying their hired men. Max
ing money by making men poor is
stealing, and sin.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL d..
ALL FOR THE CHURCH

The Church is the greatest factor on earth for
the building of character and good citizenship.
1t is a sorehouse Of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church. neither democracy nor civilization
can survive There are four sound reasons why
every person should attend services regularly and
support the Church. They are: CD For his
own sake (2) For his children's sake. ~ For
the sake Of his community and nation. (4) For
the sake of the Church ITSELF which needs his
moral and material support Plan to go to
church regularly and read your Bible daily.

report is the recommendations.
The majority recommended:
Don't attempt to enter Canaan.
Too much fighting, certain defeat.
A little minority of two, two
against ten, recommended: We can
do it by Gods help, if we will; so
let it be donel Choosing between
those two reports was Gods ex-
animation for the whole people
and they failed. For they thought
the majority report was right.
The Wisdom Of Faith
A majority report nearly always
sounds right, and this one did. It
was a shrewd analysis of an OBJ
vious risky situation. But it was
wrong. For the minority report
brought in by Joshua and Caleb
had a different kind Of wisdom,
the wisdom of faith. Now it takes
faith to see the wisdom Of faith;
and that is why, to those without
it. faith so often looks like sheer
foolishness and even idiocy. 1t is
a test Of faith, to begin with, to
see that a minority can ever be
right. Left to our natural selves,
we make wisdom matter of arith-
metic, right and wrong matter
of counting noses. We wait, before
making UP our minds. till we see
which way the b d W g n is
headed, and then we jump aboard.
True faith asks first, What is right?
What does God say? and not What
do people say? What does the
biggest crowd think?
Counting God In
The wisdom of faith, now in our
time as in the time of Joshua, has
confidence enough in God always
to count him in. Most Americans
believe in God, so the polls say.
But most Americans make plans,
large OF small, without any thought
of God, precisely as if he did not
exist. That majority report Of the
ten timid spies never mentioned
God at all. Maybe they just forgot
him entirely. Maybe they thought
he had worn himself out getting
the people out of Egypt. Anyway,
their plans and recommendations
had no room for him. The minority
report, with the wisdom of faith,
included five little words Gin our
English translation that made all
the difference: 1.-The LORD is with
u.s." The people could not believe
that and so they died without
ever setting foot on Canaan's soil.
1t takes faith to count God in to
your plans and your hopes. 1t takes
faith to believe that what God
wants done, can be done. The test
of faith is not the sure thing, the
project that can't miss. The test
of faith is not the bright day but
the dark one. Jesus himself once
spoke of time when men would
faint with fear and foreboding of
what is coming on the world. Then,
he said, then, lift up your heads!

Gods Examination Day
Indeed, the ability to detect the

Testament story which tells OF one

All was set now for the actual

land. Under Gods inspiration,
Moses takes precautions first. He
