From the newsletter of the radio station KFAX, I got this interesting list of facts about the good old days...
100 Years ago...
One home in seven had a bathtub
One home in 13 had a telephone
Infant mortality was 140 per 1,000 babies, compared to 6.3 per 1,000 today
Life expectancy was 47 years (uh-oh!)
6% of adults had high school diplomas
Colleges graduated 1.5% of the students they do today
The average workweek was 52 hours
Only 8,000 automobiles were registered in the entire country
One thing does remain the same though...
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
