The excessive spread between prices received by producers and those paid by consumers is due largely to taxes, rent, interest, transportation and coal Taxe3 are being reduced by savings by Government such as the Dawes budget plan. Rent is high because all building activities were suppressed during the war; cent is being reduced in 'ncrensed building activities, encouraged bv investment of savings. 'For rent' advertisements again appear in the newspapers. The war destroyed over thirty billions of the saved up wealth of the United Slates. The tools of war cannot be produced for the emergency directly from the soil, but must be transformed from the stored up wealth of past years. This destruction <>f capital Is gradually being compensated by savings; and interest is decreasing. Improvements of our railroad*- will reduce transportation costs and improvements require investment of savings. Wages held high by coercion rather than cooperation are a primary cause of high costs of transportation and coal. As these matters are corrected the excessive spread, will be reduced and normal times will return. The key-word is saving, not spending, saving aud investing. Secretary of Labor Davis says that he favors a saving Wage, not a living wage. A living wage is meaningless, depending entirely on the desires of the recipient. Those who spend all they receive are aiwavs poor, while those who save are on the road to wealth. Thrift, not theft, is the source of wealth. Theft merely Dacsfera wealth, while thrift creates wealth.” • * THE REV. Z. T. SWEENEY of Columbus will give four lectures in Graham Chapel. College of Missions.

Modern Gymnasium Is Opened to Community and Ground Is Broken for Great Sunday School’Edifice. years in the little chapel which will soon be torn down to make way. for part of the SIOO,OOO church plant. "The storv of the growth of this church is very Interesting,” the Rev. Mr. Morris, the present pastor, said. "It started about ten years ago as a little Sunday school in a building now used as a grocery. It started as a mission of the Tuxedo Park Baptist Church of which the Kev. U. S. Clutton Is pastor. It grew until a little mission house was built on the corner. For three years, my father, the Rev. W. E. Morris, who Is now ill, worked as cashier in the Irvington State Bank and twice a week preached in the chapel.” As he pointed to the fine modern gymnasium and community house which hr.s tust been erected as the first unit of the great plant. Mr. Morris said, “This was father’s great dream. We are now carrying out the plans he mode with the wonderful aid of the people. Three lots were purchased with the idea of building an institution to meet ail needs of thj Deonle. “Last October a third call was given t> me by the congregation of the Emerson Avenue Church. My father was 111 and X decided to come here and take his place. So I came from Michigan In October. We then had only 125 members and now we have 198 and by Easter we will have a total membership of 250 that is our goal. “Our Sunday school now has an attendance cf nearly three hundred.

When Will This Chance Come Again? \ MILLION flowers are “SAYING IT” at the National Flower Show. A symphony orchestra rarc precious blossoms is “saying it” in the music of color, form, and fragrance. A great scented hall is murmurous with the wood* winds of the azaleas and acacias, with tht brasses of the rhododendrons and hydrangeas! with the first violins of sweet peas and roses, with the Velios of the hyacinths and lilies. A thousand fragrant gardens are joined in one rich profusion of beauty. “The sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into,” as Henry Ward Beecher phrased it, are assembled from the ends of the continent for you to do them honor. H It is the National Flower Show—and National Flower Shows are not for every year or every city. There have only been four before this one: in New York, in Chicago, in Cleveland, and in Philadelphia. The last, in Philadelphia, was held in 1916. The elaborateness and costliness of the necessary preparations prohibit, annual renewals of this greatest of flower shows. Only a few cities can be favored —and those cities are favored indeed. H To your very door have been brought the choicest and loveliest flowers and plants that the world can produce. Growers of international renown, from every corner of the United States and Canada, have spent tens of thousands of dollars, not for financial reward, hut for pride of achievement, in bringing their rarest creations for you to see. IT When will this chance come again? Tn a generation, perhaps? In a lifetime”? It would be a sin to miss it —a sin not to go, and go again and again! National Flower Show

from 1 to 4 years of age,” he said. I asked him to account for the growth of the church from such a little start to its present magnitude. He told me a wonderful secret. “The people of the church and the community are responsible,” Mr. Morris said. “They do not push the work off on the pastor and his wife. Everybody works in this church for the good of the institution and the community.” Then with a sweep of his hand to Indicate the scope of the enterprise, he said: “It is the work of the people for n common good. Everybody has work to do in this house and each one does his task well.” As Mr. Morris escorted The Visitor over the grounds and the new gymnasium, I discovered that every member must have worked overtime to accomplish such wonders. The gymnasium is the last word in the modern conception of such a building. It has a large floor upon which large crowds may view basket-ball and volley ball games. It Is well lighted and ventilated. It can easily be turned into a banquet hall, accommodating nearlj 450 people. It has a stage with an indirect lighting system. There also is a large kitchen. Shower baths also have been installed. Until the church building proper is constructed, the gym is being used for religious services oi Sunday. Howard Robertson, former physical dtiector at the Y. M. C.
