How much should I give
to make this a better world?
A CERTAIN man in New York filled out his
income tax report.
It showed an income so large that his tax was
53%. And his total gifts to church and char
ity for the year were $148.
Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and ,
pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world
a little better than he found it!
Most of us do better than that; but not so very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes is
—less than we spend for daily papers
—less than a local telephone call
—less than a third of the day's car fare
—less than 3 cents a day

No wonder that 80% of the ministers of America
are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that
the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick
people a year. No wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.
It isn’t because we are selfish; it isn’t because we
don’t want to help. It’s just because no one has ever put
up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the
work of the church in a systematic businesslike way.
The Interchurch World Movement represents the united
program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed
their whole task, no business could have done it better.
They have budgeted their needs; no business could have
a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the
possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dol
lars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual cam
paigns are joined in one united effort.
And they come to the men or women who love America
—to you— this week asking you to use them as the chan
nel through which a certain definite part of £our income
can be be applied to make this a better world.
Only you can determine what part of your income that
should be.
It’s a good time right now to answer that question.
We’re passing through the world just once; how much
better will the world be because you passed through?

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
SIXTEEN YEARS’ EXPERIENCE
For sixteen years, a corps of metal
lurgists have been studying and constantly
perfecting the steel that goes into every
part of the Ford car and the Ford One Ton
Truck. Each separate part has been
studied to learn the type of steel best fitted
for it. Parts receiving constant surface
wear are made of hard, flint-like metal;
parts subjected to great vibration or re
silence are made of softer, springy steel.
Every part is made acording to its use
that is, every Genuine Ford part is. ^ ^
But there are also counterfeit “Ford
parts. They are sold as side-lines by mail
order houses, down-town stores, and many
garages. The unsuspecting customer ac
cents them because they are called “Ford
parts.
To make sure of getting the genuine
Ford-made parts, come to authorized
Ford headquarters.
