NORWICH BULLETIN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 16 1916 -is the twentieth qentury' means of settling disputes. In time, Arbitration should supplant war in deciding differences between great nations. Acceptance of the principle of Arbitration will render at industrial strikes impossible—and even minor differences will come to be settled by this means. Impartial judges can be counted upon to render fair decisions. To impartial judges of roofing, we will always be willing to leave decision as to the comparative merits of roo%ngs, confident that intelligent investigation will result in a decision for Certain-teed Roofing An investigation into methods of manufacturing would show that only the best quality of roofing felts is used in CERTAIN-TEED roofing. This is thoroughly saturated with a blend of soft asphalts— the formula of the General’s Board of Expert Chemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which forms an impervious coating and prevents the inner saturation from drying out. This explains why CERTAIN-TEED outlives ordinary roofing, and why it is possible to guarantee it for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to ply (1, 2 or 3). The respansibility of the world’s largest manufacturer of roofings and building papers is behind this guarantee; which is conservative, as experience proves that CERTAIN-TEED outlives the period of guarantee. The Generai makes one third of America’s supply of asphalt roll rooang. His facilities are unequaled, and he is able to produce the highest quality roofing at the lowest manufacturing cost. CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in 2 slate-surfaced shingles. There is a type of CERTAIN-TEED for every kind of building, with flat or pitched roofe, from the largest sky-scraper to the smallest residence or out building. CERTAIN-TEED is sold by responsible dealers 2ll over the world, at reascnzble prices. Investigate it before you decide on any type of roof. Gencra!

Mondeici was arrest- ed on the complaint of Charles Satti, aleo a contractor, by Patrotman Frank Howard, Saturday morning. eration of certain laws in the economic world, laws and forces that tirely outside and beyond the power of the individual. The individual has the privilege of suffering the conse quences, but that’s about all he has to say about it. On the other hand the are en- cost of high living is entirely within the control of the individual. If he does not desire or cannot afford to live high, all he has to do is to throw in_the other clutch and run on low. The cost of high living is an enor mous budget when you come to tak into account society as a whole in this country alone. There are, in this country, a good many people of more than ample means who spend lavishly for their own comfort and iuxury. We Americans enjoy the distinction of be- ing the most extravagant and waste- ful people on the globe. That is a se of the cost of high living that in the always fostered bitterness minds of the people of the poorer classes. And it does not seem fair that while there are hundreds of thou- sands of people who are always in want there are so many others who do not know wkat to do with their riches even after they have squandered enormously for their own pleasures. Since it is unlikely that any word of mine could change conditions one particle in either of these two phases of the subject: i. e, either to make actual prices lower or to make people more economical in their expenditures, I wiil confine myself, this evening, to a discussion of the cost and value of living that is high in the moral and spiritual realm. Accordingly, I have chosen a text out of the old book of Isajah that cuts down through the glitter and artifi- ciality of life and discloses where the real values obtain. This philosophy of Isalah is simply an anticipation of the doctrine of Jesus concerning moral values. It is not by bread alone that man lives, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. “A man's life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses, In other words, the true estimate of life must be reached through an appraisal of character rather than through an ac- count of circumstances, This invective of Isaiah In the text is directed against Babylon—sordid, materialistic, insolent Babylon.

I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughti- nes the terribl Then comes the outline of the punishment: “I will make a man more rare than fine gold, jeven a man than the pure gold of Ophir.

Can you at this moment imagine anything more startlinzly weird and solemn and mysterious and ghostlike than that magnificent metropolis tenantles And vet this was just the kind of Ic upon which Babylon had en- tered. Material power minus men. So the words which I am using as a text ars words of warning: But there is nother sense in which they may be used, as a prophecy of coming good hér than a forecast of approaching doom. I will make a man more pre- cious than gold. In other words, in cost of living or the cost of living there is an element to be oned with that we do not always »perly consider, and that is the ce of a soul. Jesus raised the question as to what a man could give in exchange for his soul. Almost evervthing else has an exchange value—a price that stands as its equivalent. Not so with the soul. There has never been a time in the tory of the world when human life was held so cheaply as at present. It is an age of machinery. A con- trivance of wheels and levers takes the place of a dozen men. Here and there you will find a man with his hand on a lever. But for the most part, in this new order of things man is a mere incident, a tiny vog in the mechanism of things. Thers are thou- sands of suicides committed on this very assumption, that human life is of small account; that one less would not be noticed. But if this is true, it is ulso a fact that it is not universally true, but that there probably has never been a time when human life counted for more than at the present There are danger signals everywhere and organized efforts to protect hu- man life. A little girl at the mouth of the mines picked up two small pails containing, as she supposed, water; but in reality filled with that terrible explosive—nitro glycerine. Trippingly she went along with her burden, thinking she was conferring a favor in taking water to the thirsty men who had called for a drink. One of the men, her own father, induced her to put the pails down very carefully and so what might have been a terri- ble explosion was averted. But the men were so unnerved that they were ordered to quit work for the day. All because they were concerned for the safety of a single human life, and that of a little girl who had taken only a humble place in the life of the com- munity. It would not be difficult to multiply instances. All _our modern life is filled with them. What is that which ties up the traffic of a street and finally blocks the currents of a city’s life? A human being hurt. And how has this spirit of consider- ation for mankind’s value come about? T answer, through Him who has taught the world how precious to the heart of God is man. But man’s preciousness is. due not to his physical and material life so much as to his moral and spiritual na- ture. High living, in other words, is not simply a matter of rich food and expensive clothing and fine automo- biles and all the other things that money may secure, but the high liv- ing that I wish to emphasize tonight s the living by which we are permit- ted to serve God end help our fellow- men. That has its price—its cost as all worthy things have. The price is the personal acceptance of and devotion to ? hi Jesus Christ as man's best friend and Saviour. Phoebe Carey once ‘fl:%y highly com,| A T et ol T PR your spiritual attainments I'd give all the world!"” the woman. Quick as a flash Miss Carey replied: “Well, that is the price.’ So I say to you tonight that the price of high living is the surrender of our claims upon the less desirable things and the acceptance of the chal- lence of Jesus to put first things first, namely, the Kingdom of God and the righteousness of Jesus. Man was made for something higher than high living in any physical material sense. “Ill fare the land deepening ills a prey, when wealth cumulates and mén decay.” or CENTRAL BAPTIST PASTOR SPOKE AT Y.

Dr. Slocum remindea the Jesus Christ to his disciples. asked them to follow him and in the case of Andrew and Peter He said he would make them fishers of men. Continuing, Dr. Slocum said in part: The point is that Jesus calls people and they follow and He becomes the call Whenever Jesus stepped into a boat He was the skipper. This is the age of reason not an age in the phsiologi- sense. We are all asking reasons why. Jesus satisfies our reasons. comes into our intellectual life and He is precminent in the intellectual life. He was the greatest philosopher. Jesus satisfies us today as the master in the intellectual life. The wisdom of old books must be revised. Jesus spoke for all times intellectually and has satisfied all the centuries. Any Christ is not properly educated. For He is the master of our_intellectual craft. The life of Jesus Christ is so magnificient we can not wiss the op- portunity to study it. He was master in the social sense. He did not stay away from the mult tude nor did He stay too much in the multitude. He was a magnificient cosmopolitan. He went through lite naturally. He adminstered to classes. He went to the homes of both the poor and rich, and did not neglect anvone. Wherever He He is master. In the spiritual sphere He is an ex: pert. He gives the wider vision of life. Jesus came to give a mountain of vision. He took the people up, not to show them the kingdoms of the world, but the spiritual possibilities of life.
