trends In retail trade and industrial
production but a slackening in
wholesale markets ifas reporter Fri
day by Dun Sc Bradstreet in its
weekly survey o* business conditicns.
‘The summer season is Closing
with some cl the most spectacular
increases in many years recorded
lor both the production and distrl
I * button of merchandise, and with
.preparations under way for a wider
advance during the fall,” it stated.
“Although production in a few
divisions was curtailed to permit
araagements for higher schedules,
the general rise of industrial opera
tions has yet to be checked.” it said.
The report pointed out that be
cause of the rising trend cf retail
distribution at the close of August
last year, increases over the com
parative showing of 1934 were small
er than during the opening weeks of
the month, as the estimated gain
fcr the country was held to a range
of 2 to 20 per cent
“Following the excellent turnover
since the first of the month." the
survey continued, Tighter buying
was to evidence in most branches
of the wholesale markets during the
week.
“There were no developments
during the week to alter perceptibly
the average of industrial opera
tions, which held to 20 to 30 per
cert above the comparative 1934
level."

'Saul of Tarsus had come to be the early
church’s arch enemy and persecutor
when Christ appeared to Inm on the road
to Damascus and called him to become
a Christian. Thus he was converted.
_-___ s#
Though highly educated in the schools
of the day Paul learned the trade of
tentmaking at which he supported him
, self and his associates whenever neces
sary.
Paul had been pastor three years at
Ephesus and on his last journey in that
region while his ship waited at Miletus
he visited with the leaders of the church
at Ephesus and bade them farewell.
About five of Paul’s 35 years as a Chris
tian were spent in prison from which he
wrote wonderful letters to encourage
his friends., His mind could not be
imprisoned.

The International Uniform Sun
day School Lesson for Sept. L
• • •
By WM. E. GILROY, D. D.
Editor of Advance
Paul, tentmaker. apostle, and
first foreign missionary of the new
Christian faith, is set before us for
study as “the worker with hand
and brain.” The great man has
so many sides to his character that
probably we should confine our
study to these two aspects of Paul
as worker.
The independent spirit of the
man. as well as his sense of the
craftsman, are evident in the few
references that we have to his occu
pation.
It meant a great deal that the
apostle of a new faith could say
to those who were drawn to his
ministry that he had no motive
other than the glory and beauty
of the Gospel that he had brought
to them. How often the motives
that have occasioned some great
new movement In religion have
been mixed!
One could hardly say that the
leader in such movement has not
been earnest or sincere, but one
has felt that mingled with elements
of sincerity were regard for reward
and especially for money. The suc
cess of a man or a movement even
In religion has sometimes been
judged by the amount of money
raised, and those who have ad
ml.ed success of that sort have not
always been critical even If much
of this money went to a leader
himself or was under his own con
trol.
• • •
One can think even of great
movements that have been over
laden with their money appeal, and
the result has been almost inevit
ably that such movements were
materialised and lost much of their
original fervor and spiritual reality.
I It meant much, both to Paul per
sonally In his independent spirit
and to the work that he represent
ed, that he was able to say T have
coveted no man's silver, or gold, or
apparel,” and that, on the con
trary, he should point to his sim
ple example in earning his own
living, working at his trade as he
had opportunity.
A man with such ideals must In
evitably be something more than a
worker of the hand. One thinks
of a revolutionary shoemaker who
said concerning himself, “Shoe
making is my occupation, but the
propaganda is my calling.” Paul's
calling was the work of the Chris
tian ministry—a work of brain and
heart as well as of hand.
• • •
Into this work he put the same
simple unaffected earnestness that
he put into his work as a tent
maker. Zeal and thoroughness
tic re his deepest characteristic, un
less one speaks of the goal and pur
pose which these were applied to
serve.
In this aspect, Paul appeals to us
as a man of great originality of
character. One may think of him
in terms of a great empire builder
or master of industry or business—
a man always reaching out for some
new field of interest and conquest.
The only difference was that
Paul in all this outlook and out
re \h had in mind the extension
of the Kingdom of God and not
• some goal of material conquest or
'attainment of wealth, power, or
fame.
The glory of Paul as a worker,
both with hand and brain, was in
the fullness of his consecration,
alike to his task and to his mission.
If the world had more apostles
like Paul it would have better
workers; and if it had more work
ers like Paul, might it not have
greater apostles?
The work of the kingdom and the
finest work of the world go hand
in hand.
Kansas Governor Is

TOPEKA. Auf. 30. l*V- The
name of Governor Alf M. Landon
rang over the Kansas prairies Frl-,

Landon for president.

(Special to The Herald)
WESLACO, Aug. 30.—A campaign
with 1.000 new members as Its goal
was launched by members of the
Weslaco Townsend club this week
as the result of individual work on
the part of members that has re

J. F. Carr, who brought In 118
new members three weeks ago,

ttonal new members.
The membership campaign will

members respectively. Weslaco
now has 400 members in its Town
send club.
Arrangements have been made to
seat 3,000 persons at the meeting
here Saturday night, and loud
speakers have been arranged so
that the large crowd may hear the
speeches. Delegates from other
cities are expected to attend.
Announcement was made that
Dr. F. E. Townsend of California,
originator of the pension plan, may

The budget-balancing Kansas

“Party leaders throughout the
country have been casting about for

Beck. “They have sought a man of
