P. B FITZWATlill, D. D„ Mem­ ber of Faculty, Moody Bible In»tltute of Chicago.) ©. 1933, Western Newopapcr Union, FIGHTING FOR EXISTENCE | For three months we have been waiting silently if no t' patiently, hoping that officials of the federal government m Charge of the NRA would show some signs of intelligence, some , desire to help business. As the days have gone by we have lost patience and now feel that it is time to speak and speak plainly. There is no sign of improvement and we can see no hope of improvement as long as the owners of small businesses are harassed and persecuted, required to fight for the privilege to continue in business. Representatives of the small town newspapers have been in Washington for three months but they have been unable to get a code approved by the government. One- ground of con­ tention has been that the newspapers insist that a clause be included in their code guaranteeing “the freedon of the press.” The government will not accept a code with this provision in it. We believe that any newspaper man who will sign any code without such a provision in it is not a good citizen. The owners of country newspapers in the United States have spent many thousands of dollars trying to draft a code the government will approve. The country newspaper business is likfe every other line of business, many in it are struggling to exist, most of them have lost money for several years. The money they have spent on codes they needed for pay rolls, to pay bills, to buy food and clothing, but they knew their busi­ nesses would have to close if the restrictions asked by the federal government were placed in force and they have made their contributions.. What has happened in the newspaper business we think, has happened with all small concerns. What ostensibly was for the purpose of helping business has injured and if a change does not come soon will absolutely cause many, small plants to close. The owners of country newspapers are fighting to keep the government from putting them out of business. If that is the principle of the “New Deal,” the purpose of the NRA, then we are opposed to it and will oppose it with all of the energy we have. It is time for decisive action. So far as we can learn the only place, which has benefited from /the NRA is Washington, where the hotels have been crowded for months with men try­ ing to protect their business from the government, spending time which should have been devoted to their businesses, spend­ ing money which was needed for pay rolls, merchandise and equipment. Men fighting to keep the government from destroy­ ing their businesses.* And this in the United States. —Hillsboro (O.) News-Herald. To elaborate on the newspaper code situation with which we have been somewhat familiar, having sit in on many hear­ ings in the early formation of the code before it was presentee to Washington authorities, it might be stated that the only code really before the NRA department is that of the National Edi­ torial Association. The code presented by the daily press through the American Newspaper Publisher’s Association has made no headway for various reasons, some of which daily publishers are responsible. This organization has stressed the freedom of the press to cover other objectionable reasons, ye ; as the News-Herald states we do riot believe any publisher•wiP sign a code that does provide openly for this section. If mem bers of the A. N. P. A. had cooperated with the N. E. A., which comprises most of the small daily and weekly publishers, great­ er progress would have been made in getting a satisfactory code, In contrast periodical publishers of the Saturday Eve­ ning Post, and others, have and are still cooperating with the N. E. A. The trouble has been that the NRA has not been able to differentiate between the press as distributors of news anc opinions from that of an industrial institution turning out stee' •rails, boots or shoes. Without the clause of freedom of the press no one can guarantee what Gen. Johnson would do today or even tomorrow, for we dqubt if he knows himself, judging from the ebullient statements he has issued at times concerning the Ford Motor Co. . Claims have been made frequently that the NRA was to give protection to small industries and small business but thus far the working of the plan has been the reverse because unjust and burdensome expense has been levied on all small business. A famous writer this week- carries a copyrighted article in numerous daily papers touching on the NRA and the news­ paper code. It is his view that powerful and rich newspapers are not threatened but the weaker and progressive papers will be driven to the wall and to this we might add that most daily papers have used the NRA to bolster their advertising lineage, appealing for public support to force increased cost of operation on all lines of business and industry. Many newspaper plants have job shops in connection ant here we find the hand of th? United Typothetae of America urging the NRA to levy labor costs on plants in rural commun­ ities that would force the sale of printed products to a point where buyers of printing would leave the market or adopt substitutes that would close most of the twelve thousand plants in the country. This would only add to the unemployment situation which supporters of the NRA are trying to solve, The syndicate writer suggests that newspapers withdraw their application for a code and withdraw the Blue Eagle from their pages as it implies the boycott, which is morally odious and legally without warrant. If the government will take but one step to show good faith in using the NRA to protect small business, rather than permit big business to dominate the formation of codes and have the power of enforcement in its hands there might be a better feeling and understanding of what the NRA was supposed to do towards restoring better business conditions. The newspapers have never threatened or even suggested a boycott against the' Blue Eagle but have tried to cooperate towards success. If it is to be life or death for existence we are sure the Blue Eagle will be hauled down and the NRA act­ ivities taken from the front pages, of the newspapers in this country. A dollar in a liquidated bank may be worth forty or fifty cents to depositors but its 100 cents to a lawyer who will not stand for deflation.

Athens vvus tile intellectual metrop­ olis of the world at that time, the home of the world’s greatest eloquence nnd philosophy. In spite of this fact the city was given wholly to idolatry, which so stirred Paul’s spirit that he was there moved to preach the gospel. II. Th* Parties Concerned in the Controversy (vv. 17-21). 1. The Jews (v. 17). True to his usunl custom, Paul went Into the syn­ agogue and entered Into earnest argu­ ment with the .Tews. 2. The devout persons (v. 17). Tills doubtless included proselytes to the Jewish faith. - 3. The philosophers (v, 18). From the Jews and devout persons lie turned to such as were found In the market place. Here he came Into touch with Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. When these philosophers heard his preaching they desired to know what •.new doctrine he preached, so they. In­ vited him to the Areopagus where he lulght speak to them. They Inquired ns to what this “babbler’’ might say. The word “babbler’’ means literally “seed-picker.” They conceived Paul ns a globe-trotter who had gathered up seeds of truth or error here and "there over the world and that he was somewhat like themselves, Interested In talking about that which he had seen and heard. III. Paul’s Address on Mars' Hill (vv. 22-31). 1. The Introduction (vv. 22, 23). He introduced his discourse In a courteous manner; stating that he perceived that they were very religious. Fie did not 'ireuse them of superstition ns the A. V. would make it. but ns the A. It. V., "very religious.’’ He declared that ns lie was viewing their city he beheld -in altar with an Inscription, “To the unknown1God.” He proceeded at, once to connect it with "the' idea of the true God, implying that this altar lmd been erected to him. 2. The body of his discourse (vv. 24-31), a. A declaration (vv. 24, 25). (1) The true God created the mate­ rial universe-(v. 24), This was a di­ rect blow at the philosophy of both the Epicureans nnd the Stoics. (2) God’s spirituality and Immensity '(vv. 24, 25), Being essentially spir­ itual he demands heart-service, and being transcendent above, all lie is not confined to earthly temples. (3) ' His active providence (v. 25). He gives existence to all things. He' bestows needed gifts upon all crea- lui-es, and as sovereign directs nil things. in His declarations concerning tnnn (vv. 20-31). (1) His common origin (v. 20). This was a blow at th e , foolish Athenian pride which supposed thut they were superior to all other people. This proposition he proved from their own literature (v. 28). He argued that If men are the offspring of God and bear his likeness, It Is utter folly to make images such ns the Idols were. (2) Nations have their place by the sovereign purpose of God (v. 20). - He argued that the position and mission of each nation Is of God’s appointment. (3) Men should seek God (v. 27), Ills goodness and grace In supplying all human needs, nnd Ills sovereign ordering of the affairs of. nations should move men to see and seek God. (4) Pressing, obligations to repent (vv. 30, 31), Tills was his supreme message, Though God had formerly passed over the Idolatrous practice of the nations, he now calls all men to repent In preparation for the com­ ing day of Judgment, the guarantee of which Is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. IV. The Results of Paul’s Preaching (W. 32-34). 1. Some mocked (v. 32). Men and women are today mocking the preach­ er who dares to preach the coming judgment. 2. Some procrastinated (v, 32). This Is the common way of men. Many of them do not mock, hut they hesitate to accept and net upon the urgency of the message, < 3. Some believed (v. 34). Wherever the gospel Is preached there are some who believe nnd are saved. Commonplace Live* The most commonplace lives have about them possibilities of romance, tragedy, nnd humor that discover themselves to the one who ministers to these lives with a brave and- reso lute heart. ................ — ir ... p Value of Prayer .
