A WORLD REBUILT % # By the Golden Rule not by the rule of Gold THIRTY denominations of the Church are uniting in a simultaneous campaign in the week of April 25th May 2nd. They are uniting because the task before the Church is too great for any one denomination; because there must be no duplication of effort; no waste.^ These churches know that the world needs many things; but it needs Faith most of all. They know that there can be no final solution of our economic problems that is not a spiritual solution, based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Golden Rule. They have had the courage to survey the whole task, and to ask for a budget large enough to sustain (l). the work abroad, (2) the work at home including the church’s part in the huge task of Americanization, (3) the colleges and (4) hospitals supported by the Churches, (5) the reli gious training of the young, and to provide (6) a living^ wage for the Church’s ministers. The budget is large in the aggregate; yet if each person who loves America would increase his contribution by only a few dollars the whole amount would be easily subscribed. We/ace the task of rebuilding the world. Let the cornerstone be a strong and vital church in every American community; and the measuring rod by which the builders build must be the Golden Rule. United Financial Campaign ^INTERCHURCH World Movement of S/orth America The publication of this advertisement is made possible by the cooperation of thirty denominations. i _ _ j GRAMMATICALLY W RONG, YET— Practically all my life, but more specially in the south, I have heard | the expression ‘‘I will try and come,” j “I will try and do it,” etc. How often have I listened to those grand old characters of our race who j are now sadly and all too swiftly ' passing away, standing on the door steps of a still more aged parent and j saying, "Well, mother, I will try and come back and see you tomorrow.” And how well do I know thdt that mother, her dear old body racking in pain, rested assured* that the aged i daughter would be there on the mor i row to administer again to her such ! comforts as her scant store supplied, i Oh, is it true or is it mere fancy that : that pure and simple honesty is pas sing from us with the passing oi such characters? But 1 digress. Such expressions are shocking to philologists. They are not most pleasing to some of us who are not experts in language. Yet, like many errors, they contain valuable lessons. The substituting of the conjunction '.and” for the usual introductory word "to” before the infinitive may have come about as a means of ex pressing the determination of the speaker. It may have been one of those unconscious and unacountable happenings—adjuncts to our language I alhambra! A A A The House of Courtesy. £ || 24th and Parker Sts.
