| TITUDES.

it is I: be not afrald,—Mark 6:50
INTERMEDIATE TOPIC—Helping the
needy
SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC—(?)
This parable marks the high level of
the year of popularity in the life of
our Lord. It is such an important mir-
| aele as to be the only one recorded by
all four gospel writers. The returning
disciples (v. 81) are urged by the Mas-
ter to come with him into a desert
|

place and rest and also that he might |
comfort their hearts over the death of |
John the Baptist. “They had no
leisure.” Jesus knew the need and |
also the proper use of leisure, but the |
multitude would not grant him this but
flocked to his retreat in the desert.
They followed that they might listen to
his gracious words, or behold some new |
wonder, but Jesus also saw and min-
istered, (v. 24). Carlyle said he saw |

in England “forty million people most
| ly fools.” Not so with Jesus; he saw |
and was moved, not with sarcasm, but
with a compassion that took the form
of teaching (v. 84). It is better to
teach a man how to help himself than

to help the man without the teaching. |
We also infer that the soul of a man |
is of more value than his body. It is
not enough, however, to say “God bless |
: { you; be warmed and fed,” when a man |
; is hungry. Sympathy must issue in a¢- |
tion.

Swift & Company
| Publicity
At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there
was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of
Swift & Company,which showed that the Company had been con-
sidering for some time an educational advertising campaign. f
| The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev- |
I eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have |
| recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer |
delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business, |
relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people. |
The feeling against the American packer is based largely on |
the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and
consumer are adversely affected by the packers’ operations,
resulling in unreasonably large profits.
|
|
Swift & Company’s net profit is reasonable, and represents
an insignificant factor in the cost of living.
For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift
& Company were as follows: |
Sales
$875,000,000.
Profits
$34,650,000.
This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500.
