A DISCOVERY AT HOME
Somehow it is more interesting to
read about the return of the Byrd
expedition than it was to read about
its spectacular explorations.
The party's first reappearance in
civilization seems to have been quite
an event. The men rediscovered the
world of ordinary comforts and con
veniences, and made the most of it.
They found out, once more, that the
mere business of sitting down to a
hot meal, of sleeping in a comfortable
bed, of walking along a dirt path be
neath green trees, of mingling with
crowds and hearing the noises of
community life, can be highly excit
ing, almost ecstatic.
They had none of these things in
the Antarctic. Now that they are re
turning to them they are reveling in
them. They are discovering that the
ordinary, taken-for-granted events of
daily living are genuinely thrilling.
And it is quite possible that that is
the most important discovery of the
whole trip.
For a polar continent, after all, is
not a very useful thing. It is sur
rounded by mystery, prevaded with
the menace of sudden death, hemmed
in by eternal loneliness, and all of
that; but a few intrepid wanderers
go down to it, crawl across it, and fly
over it, take photographs and Jot
down notes, and that is all there is
to it. It doesn't butter any parsnips.
It is only a by-road.
This other discovery, however
well, it would almost be worth trav
eling to the bottom of the globe just
to make it. For most of us never
quite get in on it. We plug along
from day to day, doing the same old
job and going through the same old
routine, wondering, now and then,
what it may all be about; and we
never realize until it is too late
that we are living in the midst of
marvels and wonders, partaking of
daily miracles, treading on infinite
mysteries.
Familiarity breeds, if not con
tempt, at least boredom. We don't
see the glory of every-day life be
cause we see it too often. It is an old
story. We take it too much for
granted.
In that way we cheat ourselves.
We tell ourselves that life would be
rich and deep if only we could share
in great events, perform great deeds,
rise to high places; and so we doom
ourselves to disappointments. For
great deeds, great event3, and high
places are not for most of us. The
daily round is all. there is; all there
ever will be, to the end of life. If we
bank on the spectacular we shall in
evitably be stung.
Once in a while, though, we make
the great discovery. We find that this
daily round, so hackeyed and famil
iar, is incredibly enough. It con
tains richness and depth Beyond our
dreams. It can satisfy us, if we only
open our eyes to it.

THE WORKERS' CHUECH
What is religion going to do about
the spiritual needs of the busy, but
possibly devout, working-man? This
question is receiving serious consid
eration at the hands of eminent
church leaders all over the country.
A writer well observes in this con
nection that "urban growth has cre
ated a religious situation now frank
ly recognized by church leaders, who
see great city areas virtually aban
doned by evangelical denominations
once dominant in every stratum of
American life."
Churches have followed the ten
dency of the age and have effected
mergers, or have moved into finan
cially better neighborhoods and the
wage-earner is more and more shov
ed out of the religious field.
This is a losing of ground in an
essential activity. Russia may abjure
and abandon religion, but the United
States cannot afford to do so, unless
it is wished to invite the evils which
have followed in the train of Bol
shevism. It was upon the masses that the
historic church was founded. It was
a commoner, a laborer, who founded
that church. It was He who appeal
ed to the people, the poor and the
struggling. To these now appeal the
forces of Communism, and they say:
"Where will you go in search of spir
itual refreshment?"
And it Is a sad reflection on Chris
tianity that multitudes have been In
trigued by this cry.
It is the fact that millions in
America are deprived of any sort of
religious accommodation and instruc
tion, and this is so because they have
no place to go. There are churches,
yes; but to the most of these the
tired folk who toil with their hands
will not go. Without at all meaning
to do so, we have erected in America
not one, but many religious castes,
and few of these make it possible for
the workers of the land to feel wel
come and at home within their se
lected folds. Small wonder then that
religious leaders in the country are
becoming worried, and alarmed, over
the situation. A country without a
confirmed faith in spiritual things is
a country abandoned to the ravages
of moral decay and disintegration.

CHEAPER MONEY
For business, as well as the stock
market, the lower rate for money is
an encouraging indication. Call
money is offered at the smallest in
terest charge in five years, and the
supply of money is plentiful.
Funds will be at the command of
all lines of business and develop
ment. The recent crash was calamit
ous, but the permanently good ef
fects are becoming apparent. Cap
ital will seek channels of investment.
