Agricultural employment in 1930 was 3 per cent less than in 1920, 0 per cent less than in 1010, hut still 4 per cent greater than 1900. Mining employment in 1930 was 9 per cent iess in 1920, hut 0 per cent greater than 1910 and C9 per cent greater than in 1900. Since 1920 four o f the nine occupa­ tional groups increased their job op­ portunities at less than average rates. Total gainfully employed workers in­ creased 17 per cent in number during this decade. Agriculture and mining lost workers; manufacturing and me­ chanical gained only 11 per cent and public service only 8 per cent. To off­ set this loss of job opportunities, trade industries required 45 per cent more employees in 1930 than they did in 10 years before; transportation indus­ tries employed 25 per cent more; cler­ ical ccupations 34 per cent; domestic and personal services 60 per cent; professional services 41 per cent. Technocracy points to manufactur­ ing industries as the chief source of labor displacement by power and mechanization, but even in this select- NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate of Sarah E.

Comparison of the more detailed data made available in the census of man* facturera for 1919 and 1929 discloses that o f the 16 great industrial groups surveyed, 9 had fewer employees in 1920 than in 1919; C had larger pay­ rolls, and 1 did not change. Total em­ ployment in 1929 was 12 per cent less than in 1919 in the food industries; 16 per cent less in chemical industries; 7- per cent less ill tire and rubber .n- dustries; 10 per cent less in leather industries; 3 per cent less in stone, clay and glass industries; 5 per cent less in non-ferrous metals industries; 33 per cent in railroad transportation; 23 per cent less in railroad repair shops; 20 per cent less in miscellan­ eous industries. But during this same 10-year period employment increased 2 per cent in the textile industry; 9 per cent in paper products; 12 per cent in printing and publishing; 9 per cent ii. coal and petroleum; 3 per cent in iron and steel; 10 in machinery. Employment in the forest products industry did not change. The net re­ sult of all these changes over 10 years was a 2.3 per cent drop in employ­ ment for the group Of 89 industries covered in the study. Although permanent technological unemployment appears to he still in the future, Technocracy’s charges can­ not be idly dismissed. As Messrs. Hur- lin and Givens point out, equally im­ portant social problems face us now from the effects of the drastic read­ justments which have been necessary to maintain our gainfully employed population at work. Most spectacu­ lar has been the shift from the farm to urban districts, with a tremendous increase in the dependence of millions upon their money incomes. More wo­ men, particularly more married wo­ men, are working outside their homes. .Old skills and techniques which re­ quired years to perfect are being lost with progress in machine production.- Machines are easing the toil of pro­ ductive work. White-collar workers are increasing in number. Freedom of employment opportunity is more limited than ever before. All these changes call for drastic readjustments of jobs and among job-holders. George Washington is reputed to have said that “nothing but hatmony, honesty, industry and frugality are necessary to make us a great and hap­ py people” This is just as true today as it was more than one hundred years ago. The driving power of men’s in­ itiative, brains, energy and enthus­ iasm which we can bring to the busi­ ness of living and the business of making a living is the >■ real prime- mover in human affairs. It is this human1element which is at the foun­ dation of* every, success or failure. Fortunately, the inhabitants of these United States are energetic and re-- sourceful. We. have confidence in our­ selves and in our country jand face the future with hope. This is the real flaw in the propos­ als of the Technocracy group and the complete answer to the criticism which these men have made about the functioning of - the present business and economic system in this country. The facts which Technocracy has produced are well known to every business executive and every econo­ mist. The study which this group, has made of industrial changes during the last one hundred years indicate noth­ ing more or less than that machine production has increased enormously both in efficiency and in the volume of goods produced. We also are fa­ miliar with the fact that the appli­ cation ; of mechanical energy has grown tremendously so that today there are more than a billion installed horsepower available in the. United States Instead of this remarkable de­ velopment both in the efficiency and the use o f power and machinery being something to fear, as Technocracy seems to imply, the real fact is that machinery has enabled us to improve the American standard of living to a far greater degree than in any other period in the history of the world. The contention of this Technocracy group that the machine must inevitably dis­ place human labor because of its growing automatic and effective op­ eration is absurd because we have constantly increased the leisure of the employees in American industry and will go still further in this direction. The machine is the servant of man and is really the great liberator of the human race. The way out of the present depres­ sion and the road toward prosperity lies in the uninterrupted development of industrial research, invention and the modernization of American indus­ try. Wealth is indeed created by the use of mechanical power and machinery. The machine is the most powerful weapon we have in the age old battle against famine and scarcity. Nevertheless, behind every machine is the initiative and genius of men and there is no machine-made substi­ tute for simple honesty and hard work. The machine has been invent­ ed for the sake o f men and not men for the machine. This is the simple truth which Technocracy does not take into consideration.

It was because of the murderous plotting of •the Pharisees against his life. Their opposition began when Jesus claimed to have power on earth to forgive sins (2 :10); grew in intensity when he mingled with publicans and sinners (2 :16); was fanned into a violent flame when he set at naught their false Interpretations of the Sabbath law (2:23-28). 2. To whom he ministered (vv. 7,8). It was to a great multitude represent­ ing u wide stretch of territory. 3. The results (w . 9-12). a. The disciples prepared a small ship (v. 9). So great was the pres­ sure of the thronging multitudes, that he commanded the disciples to pro­ vide the ship so that he might be saved from them. b. Unclean spirits fell down before him (vv. 11. 12)- They not only bowed before him, but confessed him as the very Son of God. This testimony he refused, doubtless for two (1) The time was not ripe to pro­ claim him publicly as the Son 'of God. (2) 17)ey were not the beings to make him known. Jesus consistently refused the testimony of those who were not In moral accord with him. II. The Divine Servant Catling As­ sociates (vv. 13-19). I d this way lie made provision for the carrying forward of his work after he was gone. Before choosing the twelve lie spent n whole night in prayer (v. 18). (cf. Luke 6:12). From among his disciples he choose twelve whom he ordained for a twofold purpose: 1. “That they might be with him” (v. 14). Fellowship with the Lord is not only the highest privilege o f the disciples, but it is an. indispensable qualification for witnessing. It is need­ ful to be with him to catch his spirit. 2. \*That he might send them forth to preach” (v. 14). To proclaim the good news of salvation was the su­ preme mission o f the disciples. Con­ cerning those who were to be the messengers of Jesus Christ, note: a. Twelve were ordained (v. 14), Tiiis was the beginning of the process by which the Triune God was to make manifest his grace to the whole world. The number twelve Is the product of the heavenly three and the earthly four, thus indicating the purpose o f the Triune God to reveal himself unto the four quarters o f the iearth. b. Their characteristics (vv. 17-19). (1) They were from the middle . ranks o f society, the common walks of life. (2) Men o f average ability. Christ did not go to the Schools for his apos­ tles and yet he chose men o f mental grasp and efficiency, (3) Men of diverse temperamental gifts. The grouping of the apostles shows men o f impulse and leadership, of the reflective nnd Inquisitive type, and men of practical business abilities, III. The Servant’s Increasing Dlffl. ciiltles (vv. 20-35). L The suspicion of bis friends (vv. 20, - 21). The needy people pressed upon him so that he had do time to eat When hts friends saw tils zeal eating htm^jp, they suspected that he was loslngmis mind. 2. The violent opposition (v. 22-30). Added to the embarrassment of the suspicion of his friends, the Lord now had to face the sneers of the scribes. 3. Visited by bis mother and broth­ ers (w . 31-35). We are left to con­ jecture as to the motive to this visit Perhaps they likewise susplcloned his mental balance. It may be that they desired to take him home and nurse him back to normalcy. The wets ridiculed our “noble ex- Jperiment” wijh Prohibition. We may laugh at their igqoble experiment with beer. Some one has sent us a Sterling, Kan., paper with several statements of wet leaders. One from Ohio says: “ There is no queition here o f the re­ turn of the saloon. We have more sa­ loons today than we had the day pro­ hibition went into effect.” The man who made this statement did not ex­ pect any thinking person to believe it. Dr. S. Parks Cadman Lin answering the question, “ Why did you stand a- gainst the worker having hia beer?” “ If you can convince me that beer builds up the American home, forti- fiies its children, strengthens the par­ ents to do their jobs more efficiently, or lessen the risk of physical injury and the dangers of vehicular traffic, you will have justified your claim and shall have advocated an erroneous doctrine. “ But the facts based on experience ‘ flatly contradict the efficacy of beer or of any other intoxicatinf liquors when used as a beverage, to- confer the physical benefits we have named. Milk produces a higherdevel of intelligence in our children than any other foods, Present Condition Due to Propaganda ’ U. S, ^‘“lator Morris Sheppard • j The present condtion is the Tesult of paid propaganda and not of any spontaneous movement among the. people. The coantry has been saturated with such subtle and such vicious mis­ representations regarding prohibition that it would be impossible to secure a fair hearing on thd facts at this juncture. A feeling amounting almost to an o- bession has been widely established to the effect that the return of liquor will solve the farm problem, conquer the depression supply the needed rev­ enue, balance the budget, and restore prosperity. “ Another generation must be edu­ cated in the effects of alcohol on the individual and on society as a whole is the rallying cry of the drys today! Recent political events have shown that the work among children must be stressed more than it has been be­ fore so future citizens will know the truth about the liquor problem* Be Still Than When you go alone In the quiet lima and place with the Book, quietly pray, “Blessed Prayer-Spirit. Master-Spirit, teach me how to pray” ; and he will. Do not be nervous or agitated, wonder­ ing If yon will understand. Study to be quiet—mind-quiet, body-quiet.
