HOW THEY DO IT IN BEL-
GIUM.
«Socialism will never work. Tie
workers haven’t got the brains and
the—capitalists have all the execu-
tive ability.”
That's what we hear wheneyer we
talk to plutocrats or business men
about Socialism. This sentiment is
amply refuted however, where-ever
the Socialist movement is old enough
to have developed a large member-
ship and wise statesmanship.
The Movement in Belgium is one
that the Socialists of the world are
justly proud of. There the workers

fruits of the training in Belgium have

5. The formation of co-operative
i associations for agricultural, purposes
should be encouraged. |
6. Insurance against disease of |
| animals and plants, insect pests and
| natural calamities should be provid-
ed by national, Sfate or local govern-
| ments.
7. We call attention to the fact |
open new opportunities to the agri-
cultural wage-worker and to that ex-
teng free him from the tyranny of
the private employer.
8. The Socialist party pledges its
support to the renters and the agri-
cultural wage-workers in their at-
tempts to organize to protect them-
selves from the aggressions of capi-
talism and the employers of agri-
culture.
9. While the above'is offered as a
general outline for the national ag-
ricultural program of the Socialist
party, we wish to point out that
there are such variations of condi-
tions in the widely separated dis-
tricts of the United States that to
each section and to each State must
be left the task of working ont the
further details of a programme ap-
plicable to the peculiar agricultural
conditions in their respective State
and distriets.

esse.
LESSON TEXT—Gen. 40:9-23.
GOLDEN TEXT—“Tha breath of the
Almighty giveth them understanding.” |
Job. 32:8, R. V. |
In teaching this lesson we must not |
overlook the intervening events which:
are other illustrations of the truthful-
ness of the biblical narrative in that
the sinful failures as well as the suc-
cesses of families and of chosen in-
dividuals are presented. :
Joseph began life in Egypt as a
serf. Potiphar, who bought him, was
‘the chief marshal of the empire, the
lord high executioner. What Joseph's,
feelings must have been we are left
to infer, but we believe he accepted
his humiliating position with resig-
nation and resolved to adjust himself
to his new environment. Thus it was
that Potiphar found in Joseph an hon-
est servant. Joseph served ten years,
years of constant promotion, when he
encountered the ordeal related in
chapter 39. :
Crime and Sin.
The breaking point had to come
when he exclaimed: “How can I do
this wickedness and sin against God ?”.
Gen. 39:9. A crime is committed-
against a man or against society; the
same act against God is a sin. Jo-
geph’s only safety was in flight (v.
12), to parley would. have meant de-
feat. Between the ages of seventeen
| and thirty, Joseph lived a life of slav-
ery and imprisonment. But God was
with him and his faithfulness was re-
warded by being promoted to the po-
Ing those of his own families. (Esther;
6:1, Rom. 8:28, Ps. 76:10.)

“Yes, our new wagon’s a Studebaker
: — the only kind we KNOW”?
“The Studebaker idea has been in our family for
sixty years. We have never thought of buying any
other kind of a wagon.” ; :
© “J¢’s true, we're continually being offered other
wagons costing a little less, with lots of promises as to
what they will do. But we know in our family what a
Studebaker will do. A few dollars difference in price
doesn’t mean much. It’s the service a wagon gives
that we consider most.” : ,
“Long service for a fair price means morecevery
time than short service for a few dollars less.”
“That's why we stick to Studebaker—and ‘Stick to Stude-
baker’ is a pretty motto for a man who uses wagons.”
#Studebaker wagons are built of good stuff. ‘They're made
right by people who've had years and years of ‘experience in
making them right—people who are trusted the world ever.”
“Studebaker wagons last, because they're made to last.”
_%Look out for the dealer who tells you his wagon is just as
good as a Studebaker. That's my advice after a good ‘deal of
experience — and the experience of all of my people. You get a
Studebaker and you've got a safe investment.
