BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS About 3 per cent fewer Hoosiers were employed at non-farm jobs on January 15 than had been a month before. Total nonagricultural employment in Indiana at mid-January was estimated at 1,258,500 workers, according to preliminary figures released this week by the Employment Security Division, in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The report revealed that the 3 per cent-decrease in employment was the largest monthly drop? in more than two years, but attributed the loss primarily to seasonal factors. Much of the reduction from December to January resulted when stores and post offices • released temporary helpershired for the holiday rush. Construction employment went down 10 per cent from December with weather hindering outdoor work. Altogether, nonmanufacturing industries reported a total of 673,550 employees on January 15th, a figure >5 per cent lower than the estimate for the previous month, but still above January, 19*51. Manufacturing employment fell slightly in January to an estimated 584.900 workers. A leveling off in the number of factory workers was evident in that only one industry, non-electrical, gained as much as 1 per cent over December. Etxpected seasonal reductions in personnel were shown by various industries, such as stone, clay, and glass, lumber, food, and apparel. Textile industry employment was still feeling effects of a labor dispute. Mr. and Mrs. Claud Miner had as their guests Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Hemminger and son ot Bremen, and Mr. and Mrs. Neal Philips and Mrs. Hilda Adams and daughter of Plymouth.

Talent for Goodness Lesson for March 2, 1952 MANY people can paint, or swim, who have no special talent forpainting or swimming. So, many

L-d Dr. Foreman

people are good who do not seem to have a special talent for good ness. This talent is not so common as we ail wish 1» were. Goo dness g real goodness, has many limitations Two of the commonest are goody-goody-ness and

good-for-nothing-ness. Goody goody people rub normal people the wrong way. Good-for-nothing-ness is not so irritating, but it is far from satisfying. Don’t we all know persons of whom it is said, “He is good, but —•”? Now of a really good person you never say “He is good, but—.” You say, "I only wish there were more like him.” • • • He Chose to Help SUCH a man was Barnabas, one of the leaders of the first Christian church. He was called “our beloved Barnabas” not by a single congregation but by a great church council. The whole Christian family of his time thought of him -.s “our Barnabas,” and they loved him. He was not what you would call a specially gifted man. He was very impressive in personal appearance, for we know that among superstitious people he was taken for Jupiter or Zeus, the most powerful of the Greek gods. But he was no gifted speaker, and if he wrote anything we do not hear of it. His one great gift, his God-given talent, was goodness. He is described as a “good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith.” He is first heard of as a property-owner who sold his land and turned over the proceeds for the benefit of his fellow Christians. He was one of those who “called not anything their own” but contributed all they had. • • • He Could Take a Back Seat IF I can’t be com I don’t want to be shucks” is a proverb Julius Caesar might have thought of if he had been a farmer instead of a general. Once that famous man was marching through a miserable little mountain village and one of his aides said something about “this hole.” The general turned on him: “I would rather be first in this village,” he said, “than second in Rome.” Most of us know hot. old J. <. felt, because most of us are not very good. But a really good person never feels that way. Your imitation-good person will ■ ‘ take a back seat hoping soon to get his invitation to come up higher, and if he doesn’t get it he will feel very peevish about the whole business. A truly good person will be just as contented with the back seat if there is an abler man in the front seat. Now Barnabas was a good man, and he could take a back seat gracefully, could even do what is most difficult, resign from the front and slip into the rear. He and Paul were the first missionary team in Christian history. During the time of their work together in the city of Antioch, and at the time the church commissioned them as missionaries, they are mentioned as “Barnabas and Saul.” But, when they came back from that journey they were “Paul and Barnabas” and so they remained. Paul was Barnabas’ protege, Ms pupil, his assistant; and some men would be mightily irritated if their smart youijg assistants push into first place; but not Barnabas He had that talent for goodness which includes being glad to play second fiddle to a better musician. • • * He Could See God BARNABAS had another rare quality found in pure goodness: he could see good in others that was not on the surface. When Saul had just been converted everybody in Jerusalem thought he was faking; but Barnabas was the first to take him by the hand and believe in him. When the church at Antioch, an Inter-racial experiment, waa worrying the old-line church at Jerusalem, Barnabas was sent up to look the situation over. Where others saw only a doubtful experiment, Barnabas “saw the grace of God and was glad.” Barnabas was the leader who recognized he could not do everything alone; he was the one who went after Paul and gave him his first real chance to become a Christian leader. Later on, when Paul wanted to fire young Mark as a quitter, Barnabas believed in him—and turned out to be right, too. It takes the truly good to see goodness I

Music Club Organized By Methodist Choir The Methodist Choir has organized a Music Club, which will be known as the “Methodist Choraliers.” Mrs. Ernest Bushong, choir president, had appointed Lyle Kell as chairman, and Mr. Kell took charge of the meeting held last Thursday evening at the Nelson Miles home, on Syracuse lake. Mr. Kell explained the purpose of the Club to the large group, which included one new member, Mrs. William Haas, (the former Joan Xanders), and as many of the,choir members as could be present. The Rev ; and Mrs. R. A. Fenstermacher and Mrs. Lyle Kell were also present. The Methodist Choraliers will meet once a month at a member’s home, and their aim is to promote good attendance and acquisition of more members for the Church Choir, and a general good fellowship. After the business meeting and Choir practice, Mrs. Bushong directed them next door to her home for refreshments, and a quartet of Lyle Kell, Louis Byland, Joel Bates, and Christian Koher did some close harmony, in between munching delicious cookies and coffee. Louis had to leave early, and Blair Laughlin, choir director, added his “bit” to the harmonies. Lyle Kell, Joel Bates and Mrs. Harry Appenzeller, compose the entertainment committee and will have different members arrange skits, musical numbers, etc., for each meeting of the Choraliers.

WSCSMEEIS “Race Relations”, topic of a talk by the Rev. Fenstermacher at the W.S.C.S. general meeting Thursday, was an engrossing subject, and roused a host of questions in the discussion that followed. Rev. Fenstermacher said that Race Relations seemed to him “to be a set of facts, and not a problem,” that he spoke from personal experience, instead of out of books, and that in personal contacts he had found many friends —in his years of studying, he had the acquaintance of an American Indian as a girl friend-; two fellows from India studying law and deni st r y proved interesting friends, also two intellectual Jews and a Chinese in college was welcome to the Chinese Bible (he happened to own) and loaned to the Chinese, and that a recent P. T. A. speaker from India was very interesting. A Jewish girl librarian once asked Rev. Fenstermacher how he attained his calmness, and the answer was, “because I am a Christian.” Rev. Fenstermacher also said that, “Missionaries may perhaps be trying to .impose our Western 1 civilization, instead of teaching Christ.” That a noted author, Stanley Jones, said “Don’t make over people, just introduce Christ to them all.”’ Further in his talk. Rev. Fens-termi-.cher said that “intellectual assent cannot just label a person as yellow, black, red, etc., that everyone has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that the Bible says “God has made of one blood all nations of the earth” and that Blood and Plasma students are finding this fact correct, that all blood is the same, just different types — that one should not boast that only his i’ace is pure—should not look down upon his brother because his appearance is different, and indicated that all peoples should recognize the other’s rights as a person, even though of a different race or color.” The ensuing discussion was lively and continued even after Rev. Fenstermacher had “made his escape” from so many women. The consensus of opinion finally seemed to be that we should all learn more tolerance, more friendliness, and Christianity. Circle Two was hostess, Mrs. Otto Rhode conducted the business meeting, and she and Mrs. Walter Kegg, Mrs. A. L. Miller, Mrs. Claire Dreher and Mrs. Carl Penn assisted in serving cherry pie, with Mrs. Penn to pour. The buffet table was beautifully decorated with a patriotic table cloth with red and white stripes and stars, a lovely flower decoration of red and white carnations, greenery, slim tapers of green and white to make “candle glow,” and a beautiful coffee service loaned by Mrs. Willard Elkins.
