I have a very . high regard for the German people that I know, and I know some Russian people who are very fine gentlemen, and they—are’not to blame that we find ourselves in this mess. A mess which will lead us into one of the bloodiest conflicts that the world has ever known. I disagree with Senators Johnson. the late Borah and Vandenburg and any others who might be isolationists. I thought the League of Nations was the greatest advance step that the nations ever took, and if America had joined, with all her heart and soul, we would not have this war or any other wars. All our national and international troubles would have been settled by arbitration: Now it is every nation for itself and the devil take the weak ones. It is just too bad for them., We have gone through the dark ages and French revolutions and the American revolution and the Civil days, but the days that are ahead, for the nations that are at war and for all nations for it it seems all will have a part in it sooner or later will be the darkest days this world has ever ‘known. In fact civilization itself is threatened. How*pagan all this is and I am sure beyond the comprehension of any humane being. It is brutal, vicious, diabolic and uncalled for. It is light against darkness. It is Neitsche philosophy Might is Right which drove Germany into the last war, and that philosophy is still working in Germany. It is no wonder that he died in an insane asylum. It is not the immediate results of this war that we have to battle with, but the world will be impoverished for a century. What Handel will compose the Messiah Oratorio, what Beethoven will write his Sonatas, what Tolstoy dare lift his voice in behalf of the poor. What Goethe will write his Faust. What Browning his Ring and the Book, or what Tennyson will write an immortal Immoriam. It is a atmosphere of fear, the roar of cannon, bombs from the air, sea and land, the siren shriek and a rush for a dugout, the uncertainty of your little business, your home, your family, your life and all blown to pieces in a moment. Is that not a modern hell. Yet-that iene is the conditions in which the Europeans are living. The great scientists will’ be slaughtered, the poets butchered, the leading financiers of all the Eurepeans countries and the flower of all the young life will be sacraficed on an altar on-greed for power and on a cross of gold.

With millions of men out of work, with farmers from the Dust Bowls, the floods and the shortage of crops. They are driven here and there in pursuit of work. What shall be done in America? I presume that many of the working people who are not at the front in the European countries will be working in factories, etc. But the problem is serious in this country. The thousands of students going.out.of.our schools without any prospect of a job. We have our CC Camps. We have the army and navy, but millions of our young people cannot qualify and do not care for those positions. Look .at that army of young girls that are coming out of our schools. All trained for some work. Somé’school teachers, some taking buSiness courses, but there are no schools for them all, and no offices for the girls. What shall we do. . First of all take the women who are married out of jobs and let the young girls have those jobs. It is not fair to have a husband and wife hold down two remunerative jobs, and then the other man and woman just as competent not have any jobs at all. This is not fair and ought to be fought on our legislative halls until a bill would be passed prohibiting that kind of injustice. Then another way to help out would hire more men to do the work and not so much machinery. And another way would be the millions of acres in California and all over our country cut into small farms and given by the government at a very low price to the people. Back to the farm will employ thousands and thousands of the idle people. Cut throat competition in business. Our chain stores freezing out the little business man who is struggling to make a living for his little family, This is all wrong. Then too. some reform had to come. It has been when men were beaten on the back for-ten and twelve hhours per day, not having hardly time to see their own children.

At all work hard at sewing, read easier with softly diffused . your easy chairs where eyes ing or study, make seeing ight for better sight. ‘Choose lamps that are designed to guard your sight. These modern Better Light for Better Sight lamps are no ordinary lamps. Standards are of proper height, shades are opgn top and bottom and have a white lining that diffuses fully twenty per cent more light than a dark shade. And of course the inner diffusing bowl gives the daylight softness eyes. See that your rooms now, of light that is kind to the during winter, have happy, cheerful light that is kind to the.eyes.

The change has come and will come.into all the world, we hope. The world that might be left after the war. However, this cannot be cured entirely by legislation. Some some have empires in their brains like Cecil Rhodes, and some can make money, they are natural financiers,.and I believe what Jesus said was true “The poor you will have with you always.’”’ There ought to be a square deal for the man who has the, genius to make money and encoufigement for him to spend it. He ought to have returns for his genius and his investments. We cannot get along without the money, nor can we get along very well without thé, labor. The thing to do is deal squarely with all. : It is not simply civilization which the world wants, but civilization with conscience; not railroads and steamships and gigantic corporations, but gigantic datporadions and steamships and railroads free from graft and taint of every\ kind. Better the untutored savage, than the civilizad fiend. Better the unexplored wilderness than the bedienized palace of civilized shame. Better the south sea canibal, feeding on human\flesh than the civilized vulture of the metropolis gorging on tears and blood of widows and orphans, Letier the innocent child of the Ganges dropping into the mouth of the monster, than the debauched child of the Thames, the Rhine of the Hudson thrust in\ to the gaping mouth of Hades. Shall we drive out civiization? No, let us reform it. Shall we not drive out graft and replace it with honesty. Shall we not drive out that red tooth and claw law and put in the olden Rule. Shall we not drive out self aggrandizement and put in conscience. Shall we not drive out the Devil and put in Christ who. is the only hope for, the world. Whither bound socially? Nevada City is the first place in California that I ‘know anything about where the racial boundary line is so indistinct. We trade with Chinese, we have them in our church choirs, and many of them are leading students in our schools. Do we not love to hear the Negro spirituals, . The world would be that much the poorer if we did not have them. We like to hear Roland Hayes sing, the poet Dunbar and the great educator and leader Booker T. Washington. The more Christian we become the ess we see of the color line and the more determined we ‘are to bring in a world brotherhood. Whither bound religiously? Here is part of this great subject in which I feel more at home. I like to read about the beginnings of this great country—the Promised Land, when our Pilgrim forefathers landed. The first thing they did was to get down on their knees to thank God for a safe voyage. Then they cleared a little place for their humble homes, and the little church.and the little red school house. They were brave men, sun crowned men, men that would not lie, men that would not down. Men seeking .a place where they could, worship God under their own, vine and fig tree— none daring to make them afraid. There has come a great change since those days. We are supposed to be in a Christian nation. How much of it do-we see? How many of the millions of our American people are fearing lest they offend Gow. How many are N do _we care for God or school and the church? There are forty millions of our people who never darken the door of a church the year around. No Protestant church, no Roman Catholic church, no Jewish synagogue nor any place of religious worship.There are 37 millions of children who never darkSTATE 1939 GOLD.

The principal increases in values over those of the year were shown *y the metals gold. copper, quicksilver and silver: the industrial group and saline group. Important minerals to register decreased values were petroleum, natural gas, miscellaneous stone, cement, and brick. Petroleum output showed a decrease in both amount and _ value from that of the previous year of about 10 per cent. The estimated quantity was 224,376,000 barrels, a decrease of about 25,000,000 barre!s. There was, little or no change in the prices paid to producers by the refineries.

The tragedy of it is that some religious inStitutions turn His day of Resurrection memory into an arena of an ancient Rome or Grecian contestants and thought of God or of Christ or His day. If we are Soing to be the kind of men and women that we ought to be ‘and upon whom God can build His kingdom, then we must have a holy day in our lives. Where are we bound in religion.

What are we doing for Him? Our churches here are having a hard time o get along.
