ONE MINUTE PULPIT
With freedom did Christ set us free.—Gal. v:l.
Their fear of me is a commandment of men which hath
been tautrht them.—Isa xxix:13.
For Me that worketh high and wise,
Nor pauses in his plan,
Will take the sun out of the skies
Ere freedom out of man.
-Emerson.
CHICAGO: UNRULY GIANT
You may say what you please, but you cannot deny thai,
this modern life of ours has plenty of color and excitement.
The latest exhibit of Chicago's turbulent subterranean
life is about the most startling of all. Seven men, lined up
against a wall in the middle of the second city on the contL
nent, and butchered by machine gun tire! It is incredible—
the sort of thing that one might imagine but that could never
really happen.
Yet happen it did—in Chicago, in the year 1929. It is part
of the mosaic of modern American civilization, just as the
Ford factories and the New York skyscrapers and Babe Ruth
and Lindbergh and the magnificent Lincoln memorial at
Washington and all the bravery and nobility and sacrifice of
unnumbered common lives are parts of it. It deserves the
same consideration that they deserve

OUR PUBLIC LANDS
Since natural resources are largely responsible for Ameri.
ca's rapid rise to the front of industrial nations, any informa-
tion about the extent of such resources that still remain un-
tapped is bound to be of interest.
A bulletin from the Department of the Interior relative
to the L nited States' public lands is highly reassuring.
On these lands there still remains an untapped "coal re-
serve of more than 200,000,000,000 tons. There are also de-
posits ->f 8,000.000.000 tons of phosphates. Oil shale areas
will yield 00,000,000,000 barrels of oil when the need becomes
acute.
