Sermon; M. C. Johnson

How will killing make men free? Good will never come from evil; As the seed, so grows the tree. Taxes sap the life away from Every source of future wealth, Thrift and honesty discourage How can sickness bring us health? Nor can bombing draw together Men in friendship in the way Voluntary operations Draw men closer every day. If you burn to fight for freedom Know the source wherein it lies: By respecting every person Each will help the other rise. Mrs. Johnson and her husband, formerly of the Foundation staff, continue their study of freedom from Malaga, Spain. [148 ] YOUR TAX BURDEN TAXES are now taking your earnings· for almost twenty minutes out of each hour of work, if you are a typical United States citizen. The proportion is higher than that which was taken by the governments of any of the lead ing European nations a quarter of a century ago, includ ing Germany and the dictatorship of Russia.
