A Solution To This Economic Depression
By REV. JAMES M. BOSTON

There have been many books written on this condition and many speeches have been made but none of these have been able to find a solution to this Depression. There have been many ideas advanced and exchanged, and yet the depression problems are still here and unemployment is still a vexation to many people of every walk of life. Now what is the solution to this hard problem?

The leaders of our country have planned and replanned and yet these problems are still unsolved There is something wrong with our economic set-up, and this problem is too great for man to undertake to solve himself with his little knowledge and understanding because he is too weak and his mental power is too limited for such problems as this depression.

I tell you what all the people of this country should do: they ought to take this problem to God who can solve all problems regardless to what it may be. If the people of America would trust God more, rather than depend upon their own knowledge and ability to solve our problems, the solution would be arrived at much sooner For about six years, this depression has been with us and no one has been able to offer a solution to it. I really believe that if the people would turn to God this depression would disappear and we would be happy, What think ye?
