The mobs, coming and go

kept looking up at tae num-

the room shouting greetings
to convalescents, or whispers
and kisses to a dearly be-
loved.
Two nurses sat inside the

charts. An elderly woman
stood in the doorway, sad in
an old-fashioned hat with a
single faded flower on top.

The other one grimaced.
She was flat on her back. Her
face looked as though she
had fallen from a moving
automobile and skidded on
her cheeks. She tried to
speak, failed, and wept in
stead. The tears rolled down
the wet dressings. The first
one said "Ohhh" with SYM

with a tissue.
The one with the bad face
said: 81 don't understand.

Some visitors came and

people crowded around the
bed of the swinging legs.

asked. The girl was pretty.
She shrugged. who knows?
The doctor isn't sure. l may

build the Temple. They went
at the work with great zeal
and determination. They gave
all indications of their desire
to keep God in the center of
their lives and make His
house, as it had been, the
glorious place of worship. In
today's lesson we discover
that the work on the Temple
had been neglected. The great
zeal and determination with
which the people began the
work had died. The great
start they made had lost
momentum. All enthusiasm
was gone. The reason for this
rested in te fact that the
people had turned their in
terest and attention from the
Temple to their own personal
dwellings and crops. Personal
interest and concern was put
before their original purpose.
Self displaced God. Man is
r a h careless about his
promises and pledges to God
and the church. Under the
excitement and fervor of a
revival meeting, we exclaim:
Through floods and flames
if Jesus lead, I'll follow where
he goes" but the next day
it rains and you stay home
from church. Our churches
are full of starters, who have
already given up the race of
Christian perfection.

The Problem Is
Unemployment

The Kennedy Administration is getting a noun
famous heap of advice on what to do about the
economy, from a lot of ante-diuvian experts" who
persist in believing that we are living or should be
living, in free-marxet system and that all our ills
proceed from the controls placed upon that system
by government.
1t is interesting that the aspect of our
economy that is disturbing unemployment-is al
most totally ignored by these experts" Thus Henry
Hazlitt in Newsweek, devotes most Of a page to
discussing what needs to be done, without once
mentioning the stubborn and growing problem of
unemployment and its relation to the economic
health of the country Hazlitt is concerned rather
with ) getting the government out of the business
of wage and price controls, (2) separating the

stock market!
It Is clear that business and industry are well
equipped with articulate and mpudent spokesman
and special pleaders 1t is also clear that this does
not do anything at all for our biggest problem.
1t seems to us that before the government takes
any steps toward appeasng big business and big
dustry it ought to set in motion program to meet
the time is past when the government and the
country can rely upon private business and industry
to absorb the available work force. Until private
industry can do this, need big, well planned
government work program to take up the slack.
