Too many of us live from day to day and have no thought of the morrow, While that is true in material things, it is also true of spiritual things. Too many of us seldom give a thought to what will transpire on the morrow in the spiritual world as it may affect us. Spiritually, we live today and let the morrow take care of * itself, as is true with others materially. Two out, of 54 preachers, recently polled in Chicago, declared they did not believe that Christ was ever born. Even were their belief true, yet it does not dampen the ardor of the Christmas spirit. That spirit is a manifestation of kindness toward our fellowmen.

Dear Bill: You missed the point about that dead fig tree that stood along Elizabeth street for more than a century. For at least one-half of the tree’s life, a date tree grew near the heart of the fig tree. Many a time, up in the tree, we have pulled a date with one hand and figs with the other. It is about time for some of the well known institutions of learning to award the degree, Doctor of Football. DOES THE COMET SCARE YOU? It is quite unlikely that you will have a chance to view the huge comet observed at various points in the Southern Hemis- phere and reported to have a trailing tail forty million miles long. Comets are interesting celestial travel- ers. The astronomer knows very little about their origin, but, through the years, has been able to catalog some and to ac- curately predict their occasional appear- ances. The one reported in the Southern Hemisphere was the fourteenth discover- ed in the year 1947. The fact reminds us that there was a time, not so many hun- dreds of years ago, when the appearance of a comet in the sky was hailed as a portent of disaster and an evidence of the wrath of God. The relative unconcern that attends the discovery of comets in this modern era is a sign of progress on the part of the human race. THE ORACLE. WORLD MUST HAVE OIL World demand for oil and oil products is now at an all-time peak. And, if a study prepared by economists of one of our lead- ing oil companies proves correct, demangl In 1938, world oil consumption, exclud- ing the Soviet Union and the United States, was 1,900,000 barrels a day. This year it is 2,700,000. By 1950, the study forecasts, it will reach 3,200,000 barrels daily, and by 1960 it will touch 4,500,000—an_ in- crease of 67 per cent over the present. The United States alone—figures are not available on the Soviet Union—is now consuming about 5,400,000 barrels each day. By 1950, it is expected that demand “will rise to 6,800,000—an increase of 28 Let’s see, now; just why does the United States attempt to settle the issue in Palestine? manifestly impossible to supply world demand from oil sources within this country. The major part of the European demand must be supplied from other regions. That is why American capital and American know-how are now develop- ing foreign sources of oil as rapidly as conditions permit. The great develop- ment in Saudi-Arabia, which is being un- dertaken by a group of American com- panies, is the best known example. The cost will be enormous. Problem after prob- lem of weather, terrain, supplies, etc., must be met and soloved. But the world must have oil. 100 YEARS AHEAD The death of Stanley Baldwin, at the age of 80, reminds the world of the spec- tacular crisis in British affairs when the then Prime Minister confronted King Ed- ward with the choice of abdication or re- nunciation of the lady he had determined to marry. It should also remind us that the Brit- ish Iron Master and churchman was a firm believer in* cooperation between English- speaking nations. He said many times that “their close collaboration” would rid the world of war, but he made it plain that this happy event might not occur for one hundred years. The ratio between the standard of education and economic development is about the same the world over. NEW ISSUE PROPOSED There is a great deal of interest in Washington aroused by the prospect of a new long term Government bond issue. Naturally people wouldn’t have to be urged to buy Government bonds in case the interest rate is increased so that these bonds will automatically become a good investment for anyone who has accumu- lated savings that can be used for purchas- ing bonds of that classification. You will be hearing more about that proposition a little later on. CHARGES SLAVERY The Soviet Union charges before the United Nations Human Rights Commission that the United States condones slavery. The allegation represents only one in a series of long, vitriolic attacks on this gountry, There may be some Americans who fool themselves with the idea that the = Russians are telling the truth.

War-mongers speak of another | war as, inevitable. The countless millions of people who want peace should make themselves | heard above the clamor for an- other war. It is cruel to talk of another war while the deaq of the last war are still being brought home. It is grisly to speak of | World War III while the wounds of World War II are still unheal- ed. More than 50,000 veterans of the last war still suffer in hos- pitals. Many will continue suffer until death releases them. A short time ago, I was in a small South Florida town and had last seen in 1940..I was told he was no longer parcticing me- dicine and could be found at home. The sad, pale man who camé to the doar when I knock- }ed was only a remnant of the happy, healthy doctor I had seen |seven years ago. He’ said his only boy had come back from the war in the Pacific without his mind, His son and namesake was in a straitjacket in a veter- 'an’s hospital in Augusta. Each month for two years this ‘faithful doctor had gone to Au- gusta to see his son, even though the boy’s mind was so far gone he barely recognized his father. Thousands. of such human ruins fill the veteran’s hospitals of this country. The American people need to be continually reminded that they are there. Th war-mongers should be com- pelled to visit ‘them monthly, even as this Florida father visits his son in Augusta, and see the pitiful human wrecks caused by the last war.
