DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS God lays a little on every day, And never, I believe, on all the way Will burdens bear so deep, Or pathways lie so steep, But we can go, if by God's power We only bear the burden of the hour. — George Klingle. Keep conscience healthy and free from the sleeping sickness. It is not mere good saber-rattling in Europe. It is menace of real warfare. The greatest foe to progress of the individual is dilatoriness and precrassination. "Meet Them With Flowers." But most important of all, treat them right after they get here. They who are constantly mistrusting others and suspecting them of wrongdoing, will bear watching themselves. There are said to be several billion bacilli in one teaspoonful of ice cream. But who's afraid? Vanilla flavor, please! Smile, as you make out your income tax returns, and be thankful that you have enough income to subject you to taxation. "Kind hearts are more than coronets." The princiest man among men, and the queenliest woman among women, are the kind-hearted. It is far better that Americans should be paying income and other taxes now, than that they should be paying tribute to German war lords. A famous London business man fears to become very wealthy because he sees so many melancholy millionaires. But who would mind being melancholy with a few million dollars? APPLY CONSCIENCE AND HUMANE IMPULSES Conscience and humane impulses should rule Europe today. As the terrible calamity of renewed warfare hangs like a pall over that continent every statesman and every influential leader in Europe should strive, in all earnestness and with vigor, to stay the cruel hand of slaughter. Conscience should guide every chancellery in Europe, and the tender instincts of humanity should move the hearts of those in authority and those of potent influence, to remove all inciting causes of warfare and to say and to do all possible, in sincerity, to allay the angry passions and prejudices which are carrying Europe to the brink of unspeakable calamity. The right kind of leadership in every European nation today would end the menace of war. European peoples are not clamoring for war. They would settle down to peace, if their leaders would advise and encourage them to do so. Should war be precipitated, it would be the result of misdirected leadership. Therefore, every statesmanly leader in Europe should go into the silence of self-communion and listen to and heed the voice of conscience and of humanity. USES WEALTH WISELY AND HELPFULLY Sir William Treadwell, formerly Lord Mayor of London, at the head of an extensive retail carpet business, is in dread of becoming extremely wealthy. "It must be a dreadful thing to become a millionaire," says Sir William, because he observes that his friends who have great riches "become melancholy as soon as they become millionaires." Millions and melancholy are not necessarily in the relation of cause and effect. Riches do not, per se, make men and women unhappy. It depends upon how wealth is used. Sir William Trecelar, for instance—he does not permit himself to become autumnal health. The happiest that doesn't a Correct ma'am," said these were late. The pedestrian held up a filling statistic. Fable: Once had no fear for friends who would "Kind hearts are more than coronets." The princiest man among men, and the queenliest woman among women, are the kind-hearted. It is far better that Americans should be paying income and other taxes now, than that they should be paying tribute to German war lords. A famous London business man fears to become very wealthy because he sees so many melancholy millionaires. But who would mind being melancholy with a few million dollars at one's command? When a devout Easterer sits in his church pew and visualizes Heaven at this time of year, the vision takes on resemblance to the ripening fruit and blossoming flowers of the midwinter season in California. Those German fratuleins in the vicinity of Coblenz just found it impossible to hate a handsome, dashing young American soldier because he happened to be stationed on German soil. The little love god was very busy while the American troops were at the old Rhine town. One of the great boons of this age of marvels is the phonograph, which brings to the homes of the poor and humble, as well as to the rich, the choicest musical productions of the greatest musicians of the times. It also bring the inspiring words of great men and great women, spoken directly into the record. The phonograph is filling the land with love of good music.

Once more the legislature of New York state is asked to cut our city off by itself into a separate state, away from the sometimes unappreciative legislation of rural voters. The State of Manhattan is asked for in a bill introduced by Louis A. Cuvillier—of Manhattan, of course. He would include this borough, Long Island, and Westchester county in his new little state. Up state might welcome losing some of our caprices, but it would certainly miss our taxes, too. Romance and adventure are where you find them. As a general thing, neither is to be found in compilations of statistics but in the pages of the Lutheran World Almanac—and Annual Encyclopedia for 1923, there is both romance and adventure, together with an admixture of interesting facts. These facts not only bear on Lutheran affairs but give a resume of religious affairs of the various denominations and their work throughout the world. Missionaries of the Lutheran Church travel in out of the way countries and places difficult of access practically all over the globe. Their adventures range from capture by Chinese bandits to death by drowning off the coast of France. They have found their final resting places over the world—from the fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains to Liberia. The Almanac shows that of 167,000,000 Protestants in the world today, 91,000,000 are Lutherans; in the foreign mission fields, there are 7,674 Lutherans. America furnishes THE FARMER'S PROSPECTS New York Evening Post "A year ago I expressed the belief that the worst was over," the Secretary of Agriculture declares. "I think the events of the year have just lifted the forecast." With wheat at $1.20 in Chicago, corn above 70 cents, and oats at 45, the market is more favorable than since 1919. The farmer is assisted also by the fall in production costs, low feed prices having brought horse labor to the pre-war rate and farm wages having dropped to one and one-third the pre-war level. A January slump in corn prices is usual, but the west counts much on Europe's estimated requirement of 190,000,000 bushels more wheat this year than last. Bearing out this view that the worst is past, Wallace's Farmer has drawn up a careful balance sheet for the average corn and oats grower of Iowa in recent years. From all the data of production costs and market return available it finds that the typical tenant who pays half his produce in rent and grows the average crop had a profit of 11 cents a bushel on corn in the last year before the World War; 38 cents in 1917; 24 cents in 1918; 26 cents in 1919; a loss of 44 cents in 1920; a loss of 33 cents in 1921, and a profit of 5 cents in 1922. In growing corn the same typical renter had 6 cents profit in 1913; 17 cents in 1916; 30 cents in 1917; 15 cents in 1918; 1 cent in 1919; a loss of 22 cents in 1920; a loss of 35 cents in 1921 and an even break in 1922. Such farmers are just turning the corner. The case of the farmer at the moment when the average man is just breaking even, is obviously very mixed. The man who paid war-time prices of $300 an acre up and must The happiest country is the one that doesn't amount to a darn. Correct this sentence: "Yes, ma'am," said the grocer; "all of these were laid yesterday." The pedestrian runs the risk of being held up at intervals, but not by a filling station. Fable: Once there was a bride who had no fear that her husband's tough friends would corrupt him. A wife is a person who asks you which dress she must wear and then decides to wear another one. Some youngsters have a good time, and some are not permitted to play with any but nice children. It takes three generations to make a gentleman., and only a three-day growth of beard to spoil the job. Becoming more civilized is just a matter of inventing prettier sophistries to excuse our cussness. The man who thinks the people are foolish changes his mind when he hears their hands clapping in applause. Man is funny. Hard necessity drives him to work, and after he gets accustomed to it he despises those who loaf. The boy who once wore dad's cut-down pants now has a son who uses dad's old car to make a strip-down sweater. There still are a few things that can be advertised in a magazine without using silk-clad legs as an illustration. He thinks he is a grouch because he has no friends; but as a matter of fact he has no friends because he is a grouch. Noah stepped out of the Ark and looked about. "Well, thank goodness," said he; 'the war debts are wiped out.' Lots of people think Heaven a place where they will get all the things they haven't the energy or ability to earn down here. Another reason why a church service is more popular in a small town is because there is nothing else to justify dressing up. Every once in a while the postoffice clerks catch up with their work and give their attention to the special delivery letters. In her grandfather-in-law's play, "Peer Gynt", which the Theatre Guild will produce at the Garfick, on February 6 is Lillebli Ibsen, the young Norwegian dancer who is known simply as "Lillebli" on the continent. Her husband, Tanner Isben, grandson of the playwright, is an aviator in the Norwegian army, and has come to this country on official business while his wife dances and acts "Anitra" in his grandfather's play. Tanner Isben is going to West Point and other military institutions to study the methods of this country. Lillebli Ibsen's father was an intimate friend of Henrik Ibsen and was manager of the Royal Theatre in Christian. She toured the world with Fokine and Fokina, and has done notable dance recital work all through Europe. Helen Westley, Louise Closser Hale, and Stahley Howlett are other members of the "Peer Gynt" cast, with Joseph Shildkraut in the leading role. Prince Dmitry Michael Alexandrovitch Obolenski has a tremendously impressive name and his lineage is equally long. The Obolenski family was a powerful one during the days of the nobility in Russia. But that isn't helping the Prince at all. He is in New York right now looking for a job—"not a big job," just a job, any kind of a job"—in his own words. He is finding it pathetically difficult to convince people that a real live prince, who speaks six languages fluently and was educated at Eton and Oxford can get down to brass tacks and earn his own livelihood. "Everybody seems to think I want to be vice president of something." he mourns, "and all the time I just want an ordinary job, behind a cashier's window or anywhere else." We won't have much of our awe of princes left if this sort of thing keeps on! Two Big Services at the White Temple SUNDAY January, 21st, 1923 11 A.M. Dr.Bromley Oxnam 7:30 P.M. Dr. S.
