SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Getting Rid of Yourself
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United states Senate

In retrospect it would seem
that the various scenes de-
picted during what the
Christian Church calls Lent
are many and complex. Out
Of such . holy pilgrimage
the traveller Is likely to
emerge with the feeling that
ones relation to the spiritual
world Is hedged with mystery
which our doctrines and
creeds but vaguely and in
completely suggest.
During Holy Week it was
mine to speak in q great
Middle Western city. In q
cathedral-like temple. an au-
dience numbering many hun
dreds from TERED seats looked
down upon q huge table in
the shape Of q cross. Around
the CANDLE lighted table sat
eight outstanding laymen
conducting the impressive
ceremony. On that cross
shaped table were the silver
vessels speaking Of the bread
and wine.
At the close Of this solemn
hour q huge, rugged cross
was unveiled on the platform.
It was surrounded by those
watching there with only
their backs visible. The whole
pageant was illumined by
skilfully manipulated lights
while q choir Of trained
voices sang with moving ef-
feet THE Old Rugged Cross!"
When the throng had de-
parted in reverence I found
myself thinking of the
thousands of volumes which
have been written about that
cross. In my mind ! tried
to catalogue some of the
theories as to the meaning
Of Calvary. ! dwelt upon the
theological systems which
have given so many interpre-
tations of that old rugged
cross. No wonder man with
his finite measuring rods has
tried to comprehend the
height and depth and width
Of those two crossed beams
Of wood which tower DER the
wrecks Of time and where
loves supreme disclosure was
made.
But turning from all such
theories, as at best we see
as through q glass darkly,
let us say very simply that
the cross so often gilded and
set with jewels and worn as
an ornament, means that life
at its highest and best is
always to be given away. It
means that the purpose Of
life, yours and mine, is that
it is not to be stored but
to be poured. That universal
principle has never been put
more pertinently than by the
One who was on His way
to hang on q malefactor's
gallows-"If a man shall save
his life, he will lose it; If
he will lose his life for my
sake, he shall find it," It is
as simple as that. Never was
q sentence written mirroring
more truth than "give to the
world the best you have and
the best will come back to
YOU"
That was what George
Bernard Shaw was saying
when he declared the way
to be unhappy is to make Of
yourself a bundle Of whining
complaints because the world
viii not devote itself to maxi
ing you happy. The best way
to get rid Of cynicism and
pessimiSm Is to get rid Of
yourself in service to others.
The one sure prescription for
life's fulfillment and to Joy

Reserve Board Governor
Reviews Market Drop

FRENCH LICK, Ind, May 25
(AP).-George w. Mitchell of
the Federal Reserve Board said
yesterday the stock market
slump probably reflects "the
apparent sluggishness of the!
economy" plus a waning of in
flationary expectations.
In an address at the conven-
ton of the Indiana Bankers
Association, Mr.. Mitchell said
"a general revaluation of stocks
as investments has been in
progress" with lower stock
prices and higher bond QUOTA
tions being the result.
The Reserve Board governor
said investor concern about
Government-business relations
in the wake of the Steel-price
crisis may have contributed to
the steep market decline. But
he said other influences clear
ly have been more important. ="
Continued stability in prices
and the Administrators in
tent to resist future increases
may finally have dealt the
markets inflationary psychosiS
a serious blow" he said.
Mr.. Mitchell also Speculated
that "the moderate character
of the business expansion to
date, and still apparently in
prospect, may have forced a
reassessment of highly opti-
mistic stock price valuations" :"
He suggested that the mar
ket's behavior may not be sig
mailing a business recession, "
particularly since cyclical ]
stocks have not dropped more
sharply than other securities.
Mr.. Mitchell, an economist,
said no one knows what un-
derlieS the apparent sluggish
ness of the economy" But he
listed these three possibilities:
Changes in the distribution
of population age groups STEM
ming from the postwar baby
boom.
A dulling of appetites for
capital equipment, housing and
consumer bles follow
ing the large buildup Of earlier
years.
Development of a cost-price
structure incompatible wit h
full utilization of resources, OF
the distribution of incomes ir
a way thwarting sustain e I
high-level consumption.
If the economy continues tt
fall we'll short of potentials
he said, more consideration
will have to be given to posi-
BILE remedies. He mentioned

Richmond H. Gibson. presi-

rates on mortgages have been
going down with money in
plentiful supply. dividend rates
paid by associations to attract

"One wonders how long this

Initiation has provided asso-
Citations with a cushion of value
