partment an efficient agency
operating in the black.
Faced by the chaos created
by the outbreak of the Civil
War, he abrogated postal
contracts and closed the &C
counts of poStmasters in the
rebellious Southern States,
invalidated stamps in their
possession and provided a
new issue, all without wait
ing for Congress to act.
In cooperation with COM
handing generals and the
War Department he provided
a joint civilian-military serv-
ice flexible enough to meet
military needs.
Despite the political roper
cuSsionS he abolished the
much-abused franking privi-
. lege for postmasters and be-
gan the agitation which
eventually led to reductions
in the fees paid to railroads.
He inaugurated mail sort
ing in railway cars, reformed
the registry system, sup
pressed private expresses and
started free delivery Of mail
in the large cities. In his
first year he cut the postal
deficit in half; in the next two
it was practically wiped out,
and in his last partial year
there was actually a surplus.
He didn't do it alone. Most
of the ideas came from men
in the postal service. But it
was Blair who tried them out
and made them work.
Blair himself gave credit
for the idea of an interna-
tional conference on postal
matters to First Assistant
Postmaster General John A.
Kasson, and it was Kasson
who represented the United
States at Paris. But it was
Blair'S effective support of
KaSson'S idea which made
possible the Paris conference
and led IL years later to the
organization of the Universal
Postal Union.

Businessmen frequently are amazed
at the lack of a working knowledge of
the American economy displayed by
new employees fresh out Of college. Col
lege professors who exhaust themselves
laboring through Economics I courses
are even more amazed by the lack of
fundamental knowledge possessed by
students forced into their classrooms.
In the high school is the place for the
beginning of foundation in economics.

Washington, D. C. A
youngster got up M on d ay
morning, dressed quickly, ate
skimpy breakfast, and rushed
off to school. He felt hungry
before he turned the corner,
but there was a smile on his
round face. At the mid-morn-
ing recess he would have milk
and cookies, and at noon he
would have a full lunch.
This little drama is a common
occurrence, say school lunch of

get a full breakfast, many

In addition to the school

One Of the most interesting fields OF
human relations today is economics.
Yes. in some circles il still involves the
same old tasteless encyclopedia memor-
ixation.
But this Is the old cut and dried, pro-
fessorial approach which today is main
ly practiced by teachers who themselves
are not well versed on the subject of
economics and hesitate to stray from the
textbook lesson plan because of fear Of
being trapped by an eager student.
Economics, to borrow a few words
from spokesman for the National Task
Force on Economic Education. is n "vi-
brant kicking world :. ON the frontier
OF knowledge" In today's world. where
trade. taxes, farm product surpluses
and skilled labor shortages enter into
just about every discussion, an UNDER
standing Of the forces shaping the lives
OF each of us is incomplete without at
least speaking acquaintance with this
thing called economics.

by the Administration.

that, he said, "this so-called
compromise bill' is no compro-
mise at all".
The Alabama Congressman
stated, the Attorney General
and other supporters Of this bill
have attempted to sell the Am

it is q moderate bill. In truth,
it is just as vicious and poses
just as grave q threat to Am

Continuing, this long time
and unspoken foe Of Civil
Rights legislation said, "the
dictatorial procedures which
were used in obtaining Com
mittee approval and in sitting
the opposition to the bill point
up very forcefully the motiva-
tion behind this legislation. It's
consequences will be far-reach-
ing for all of our people"
Huddleston declared that the
House Judiciary Committee left
open to criticism in the way It

WHAT IS GRACE?

"The Father of Lies" always
hates the truth, but he does not
always oppose it by the same
methods. If he fails to succeed
as a roaring lion he may appear
as an angel of light, suggesting
that surely a God of love will
not condemn Christ-rejectors
forever. Sinners, he will con-
tend, are not responsible for
their sins anyway, for does not
Eph. Ill tecah that "God
worketh all things after the
counsel of His own will"? And
thus God Himself is supposed to
have conceived the idea of sin
as ga gracious means to a
glorious end" and to have caus-
ed man to fall into sin so that
He might finally save him from
il.
Why an almighty all-wise, all
loving God permitted sin to en-
ter the universe must, for the
time being, remain an impen-
itrable mystery to US, but one
thing is certain: He is NOT the
author of sin, and NEVER ac-
cepts the responsibility for it,
except that in grace and love
He bore its penalty for man.
God calls sinners children of

rem Of WRATH" (Eph. 2:2, 81,

that He hates sin and that His
anger is kindled against it
(Rom. lis; Eph. 5:6; John

sin and caused him TO sin, how
was man disobedient and what
cause could God have TO be
angry? Those who would shift
the responsibility for sin from
themselves to God should re-

Farm Employment Downward;
Wages Over 81 Hr. Except in South

A total of $4,000 persons
were at work on farms of the
Nation during the survey week
of September 1928, reports the
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
These were $4,000 fewer than
during the corresponding week
a year ago. Only 1000 of the
total decline took place in the
South where more workers were
employed in some States than
last year.
In North Carolina, for ex-
ample, $4,000 more persons
were at work, in Kentucky farm
employment was up $4,000, in
Georgia it was up 10000 and

standards of righteousness in
the law "that every mouth

The contention that all will
finally be saved may at first
sound like wonderful grace,
but actually there is not one
particle of grace in it, for it
is based on the theory that

is only just that He save us
