Take a tablet of Bayer Aspirin and some other tablet, and drop them in water. Then watch the Bayer tablet dissolve rapidly and completely. See how long it takes to melt down the other. That's an easy way to test the value of "bargain" preparations. It's a far better way than testing them in your stomach !

This will apply both to salaries of pastors and to conference and gen eral church budgets. Thus the strong er churches can help sustain the weaker institutions over the period of the crisis. Subscriptions are fixed and maximum expenditures are set down. The plan permits shifting of funds to the poorer districts, as the need may demand, without, at the same time, imposing hardships on any of the more prosperous congrega tions.
