Babson Paik, Mass., June 25. Business is governed far more by the attitudes, feelings, and actions of the people than by all the statistics of production, prices, interest rates, car loadings, etc. that have been or ever will be collected. As a statistician I say that if it were possible to secure statistics on the mental and spiritual changes in peope's minds and char acters, I would discard all the other business and financial statistics and rely entirely on such mental and spiri tual figures. Present business statis tics are merely the measures by which we guage the results of the attitudes and actions of people. It is the changes in people's attitudes and characters that furnish the underlying causes both of depression and prosperity. From my thirty years of study of business conditions and the business history of the past two centuries, 1 deary see that in ever ymajor de pression people's attitudes and actions go through three distinct phases. At the first crack in stock prices, com modities. and sales, people are sur prised and grieved but not sufficient ly changed to make any real sacri fices or readjustments in their meth ods of living or doing business. In the second phase, when, instead of the expected recovery, business wets worse, people becom panicky, dump their investments, and start hoarding. Paralyzed by fear they are unable to forget the old and unwilling to re adjust to the new conditions. In this second period everybody talks about the terrible times and nobody does anything personally about them. In the third phase, when millions are out of work, prices have reached rock bottom, and talk is freely about total collapse, the attitude is changed. People cease to worry so much about their losses because most of them have nothing more to lose. They be gin to think about ne wways of pro gress unde rthe new conditions. Changing Attitude a Favorable Sign. It is because we have come in 1932 to the third phase that I am more optimistl cabout the future than I have been at any time since 1927. Business has not improv'd, prices are still down. However, the decline both in hi siness and prices is sowing up. People are face to face with realities. Stocks and bonds no longer cause undue worry since mojt of them have already declined to prices where they cannot go much lower. Most impor tant of *ll, nearly everybody has dis- HBnPEHSON. flf.

Instead people have gotten back to a common-sense view point of living and working. In the first phase of the depression e-. eiy body tried to postpone cutting down expenses to the last moment and were finally forced to do so by wage cuts or loss of jobs. Now that they have made the in evitable sacrifices and learned that they can survive even under the greatest hardships they are ceasing to worry about it. Since this depres sion has got to the point where it is 90 per cent psychological anyway, this changing attitude toward cheer ful determination instead of fear and complaints will prove one of the most potent factors for business recovery. Business men have finally learned their lesson. Many of them are get ting on speaking acquaintance with hard work for the first time since the early days when they started in busi ness. They are happier for it, even though their profits are small or there aren't any profits as yet. They see here and there a company which is making progress. By /studying the methods of these companies we find they have cleaned out old inventories, have bought new and up-to-date goods, have met the price and quality demands of the public, and are doing business along the 1932 modal instead of trying to do it along the 1929 model. Not the Worst Depression. I have no patience with those ultra pessimists who loudly proclaim that this is the worst depression ever known and that world must neces sarily suffer utter collapse.. Lee me quotP the words of the famous his torian, James Truslow Adams, who recently said: “In the panic that last ed from 1837 to 1841, 50 per cent of the property in the United States changed hands. In 1857 times were nearly as bad, and from 1873 to 1879 the depression was far worse than it is now. In 1893 I saw troops outside our house here in New York, and cavalry charging a hungry mob. Many of the large railroads were thrown into the hands of receivers. There have been exclient time asinc." Yea, there have been excellent times since and there will be xcllnt times again. In the meantime quit worry ing about what may happen In Ger many, or South America, or China, or Australia, or whether there will be rfailroad receiverships or what not, and realize that the quickest way to IETV NEWS y: bring back reasonable and normal prosperity is to tend to the job at hand. If you have no job, remember that there is a vast difference between unemployment and idleness. There are ways to profitably employ your time. The relief agencies will point them out to you if you do not recognize them yourself. In the meantime the cheerful fact is that the majority of the people have accepted the new con ditions and are striving earnestly to work out new means of living and working under them. Business as estimated by the Bab sonchart is now 26 per cent below a year ago. SOUTHHENDERSON REVIVAL GOES ON Rev. J. W. Davit Preaching To Large Crowds At Baptist Church There Rev. J. W. Davis had the privilege of speaking to another large congre gation last night at the South Hen derson Baptist church. The song ser vice begins each evening at 7:45 o’clock. Last night Rev. Mr. Davis took his sermon from two texts. Matthew 12:20, "A bruised reed shall he not break and smoking flax shall he not qupnch, till he send forth judgment unto victory," and in Isaiah 42:3. "A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth." Jesus was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities, and His people are heal ed by His stripes. The minister pointed out ingra'ltude as being our outstanding sin. He mentioned that people were ingrati tude to God for His lova. goodness and many blessings that He bestows upon them. The roxt great sin tnat he discussed vjs the sin of nm.iudg ment. He quoted the passage, Oudge not. that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall Up judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." Men have not the power of judging each other. Once when Jesus was talking to Simon Peter, He ask ed him did he love the Peter said yes. Jesus asked him thiice, and Peter said, "Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that 1 love you. ’ Simon Peter laid his heart before the Lord. Jesus is the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world. In Matthew 12:20, we find two pic tures. The first picture is that of a siender. brittle red. He compares His people to a reed. But Jesus said, "a bruised reed shall I not break.” The .pebple of this world are weak, and they acknowledge their weakness. We are *e4k when it comes to the know ledge of thlfe world. We are weak when it comes to a knowlege of each other. We know so little about each other, and are too hasty to judge. When it comes to a knowledge of God and His ways, we are also weak. The next picture is taken from the passage, "and smoking flax shall he not quench.” If we have just a little spark of love for Jesus He will fan it until it becomes a flame. The Lord will bless and appreciate every little deed that we do for Him, if it Is done through a spirit of love for Him. Jesus will not break a bruised reed, because He Himself has been bruised and He knows wha tain will do. He came and received the scars of sin in His body for us. His blood was shed on Calvary because of love for His people. No one should ever turn his back on Jesus. Come and worship at the South Henderson Baptist church tonight. The subject will be.
