Christian people make the mistake of limiting ~ our thoughts "of gratitude to one day. We . count our blessings on this one day of all the year; we go on a kind of “binge*’ of grati- /> tude.

, f Another sort, of \ mistake; made by a great many, even of those who are called Christians, is to use the day for purposes that have nothing at all to daWith • it. Instead of worshipful gratitude to God for his blessings of the year past, the day is commonly used by many for eating too much or for getting drunk at football gatpes. Retail stores use the day toiuShei [ in the Christmas season. In faet not so many ygars ago the commercial interests of the country were successful in pushing the day back a whole week just in order to have a longer Season in which to i sell “Christmas” merchandise. But the purpose of -the day is nor to - make-money or to win football games or to get Stuffed with turkey * ”• Grace Before Shakespeare j.

Most of Jesus’ prayers of thanksgiving are for other and . higher blessings. . Some well-known writer once . ‘commented on our custom of say-.. • ing “Grace before meat’’—the old expression for what is now often Called ‘‘asking the blessing” at the - table. Has God no other blessings for us? . When a person sits down with a great play (say by Shakespeare) in j his-hand, why not a “Grace be- ; -fore Shakespearte?” How many of us have a little prayer of thanksgiving before reading a book of poetry or going out to look up at the starry sky on a clear night, or before opening a letter from an old friend br before going to the hospital; err the dentist? (Yes, indeed; the dentist, may not seem like a\. blessing, but try td stand a toothacheall by yourself, or try to imagine going ta.his office, or to the hospital, before the days of modern medicine, surgery, X-rays, anes-; thetics and, sanitation!)

Stupid people, who do not have very good minds, cannot be expected to appreciate blessmgs of the mind; and people with .small and wizened souls cannot. feel blessings of the spirit. And only ; those who practice the Golden Rule every day, so as to put themselves into others’ places, and who cultivate the gift of sympathy so as to “rejoice with those that rejoice and weep' with those that weep," can . have the heart to be thankful when others receive the highest bless- \ tags of heaven. To live like Christ stiould be the l aim of every Christian. - Make the Bible Cod - signpost' on the uc>- road. ;

Prom the sellers’ viewpoint, the government’s economists note a “better balance” between sales and stocks of goods on shelves. When stores are over-stocked, as they were last year and more so in 1950, sales are '’irregular,” with the over-stocked Items selling at reduced costs and other'items selling poorly, the experts said. Despite, the nationwide boom in Gbvistmas sales. New York city made a relatively poor showing.

Executive vice president Jack •E. Reich said the problem of financing local government; was one of the most “pressing” facing the 1953 state legislature. He called it the “supreme test of home rule in this state” and said increased help frbm the state was contrary to the home rule principle. *. ' , City, county and school authorities have said they will ask the general assembly for more grarits-in-aid. £ ' I Retch said experience in recent years on state and national levels showed that “the government unit which raises the funds expects to, and in most cases does, substantially dictate the terms of their use.” . He said the problem in Indiana is to determine whether funds for local services should be raised at the state level through a locally shared tax, or at the local level through a locally imposed levy. • chamber study showed that during the fiscal year 1951-52, 44 percent of all state collected funds returned tq local government.

The subcommittee said “some cases of tax fraud and of corruption of public officials would not have occurred if the practitioner representing the \ taxpayer had been of the high moral and’professional caliber which may reasonably be expected.” The subcommittee explained lawyers and accountants who represent /'taxpayers at treasury hearings \ must hold 1 special cards issued by the treasury department. Many cards have been issued, the subcommittee said, to persons who have demonstrated “their unfitness to practice.” In calling this matter to the attention of congress, the subcomipittee cited 40 cases showing cases of misconduct on the part of lawyers and accountants holding treasury department cards.

New York Solon To Introduce Tax Cut Others Favor Lower Spending Before Cut WASHINGTON, UP — Three influential congressmen agreed today the new congress must reduce spending and balance the budget before it considers any tax reduction bills. But Rep. Daniel A. Reed (R-N. Y.> said he still plans to introduce a tax cut bill on the opening day of the new session. His bill would advance to next June 30 the effective date on an 11 percent cut in personal income taxes nowscheduled for Jan. l r 1954. Those who favored putting reduced spending ahead of tax cuts were Sen. Styles Bridges (iR-N.Y.), who will head the senate appropriations committee; Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.J, a member of the senate finance committee; and •. Rep. John Taber (R-N. Y.), scheduled to head the House appropriations committee. The four legislators stated their views for the Washington report, a weekly newspaper published by the U. .8. Chamber of Commerce. — Bridges said the “83rd Congress should work to balance the federal budget by reducing expenditures before considering tax cuts.” After the budget Is balanced, he said, “congress can turn its attention to revision of the tax system to provide incentive to private Enterprise and steps along this line will undoubtedly be undertaken during the first session.’? \ Byrd said “balancing the budget’ will require deduction of $5,000,- C 000,000 to $10,000,000,000 under the \ •/ Expenditure rate of the current year. “If can be accomplished in the coming year,” he said, ’’further reductions of Approximately the same amount can be made in the second year, and then taxes may be cut accordingly.” Proposes Sentences For Drunken Drivers WARSAW; Ind.
