THE WIDOW S MITES
And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and
beheld how the people cast money into the treasury;
and many that were rich cast in much.
And there earned certain poor widow, and she
threw in two mites, which made a farthing.
And he called unto him his disciples, and saith
unto them. Verily I say unto you, That this poor
widow hath cast more in, than all they which have
cast into the treasury:
For all they did cast in of ihcii abundance: but
she of her want did cast in all that she had, even
all her living.

Read This Before You Swap Yovt
Old Wife for a New One.
New York: Alvln Monwr Jr. mar-
r.ed a wife, and then thought he
hail made a mistake, and married
another. Then, according to his
testimony ln court, he KNEW he
had made a mistake, and went
back to the first wife.
An aged widow, living on a farm of a few acres
at Craggy Mountain, X. C., the sole support for four
orphan grandchildren, walked 11 miles to the West
End Baptist church, of Raleigh, to contribute 30
cents to the Baptist $15,000,000 campaign.
* * #
So you see, the world hasn't changed much in
the last 1900 years. And we believe today there are
countless millions of human beings who will say with
us that this North Carolina widow gave more than
all the others who contributed to the $15,000,000
church fund.
A CRASH—AND A DIFFERENCE
A few years ago a catastrophe in the stock mar-
ket would have frightened our banks and industries
into the paralysis of panic.
Today, with the federal reserve banking system
•on guard, the country merely comments on the stock
market explosion as an interesting piece of news—
and goes on working.
The stock crash came nearly five years to a day
after the federal reserve banks opened for business.
These banks were created for two purposes—
the prevention of money panics and the expansion or
contraction of the money and credit supply to fit the
country's needs.
How thoroly they handle both jobs was demon-
strated all thru the war.
It is demonstrated again in their putting the
brakes on stock speculation by making the rate on
call loans prohibitive.
The federal reserve banking system stands forth
as a conspicuous sa.t i^iard to the domestic affairs of
America.
ADDING TEN YEARS TO LIFE
Bv the year 1940 medical science will have added
10 years to the average human life. This prediction
comes from Dr. William J. Mayo, elder of the'famous
Mayo brothers of Rochester. Minn.
"Since the close of the Civil War 15 years have
been added to the average life," said Dr. Mayo.
* "It is certain that at least 10 years will be "added
within the next 20 years, at the most productive age.
If as a nation, we advance the time of produc-
tion of each person 10 years, we can well afford to
shorten the hours of work and improve living con-
ditions.
And we shall be better able to compete with
those countries in which long hours and poor living
conditions shorten human life and eventually decrease
production and increase social unrest."
This is an odd angle on industrial problems—
that they may be solved by making people live longer.
If Dr. Mayo is right in his prediction, physicians
and medical research men may be the greatest social
and industrial reformers t the future.
