FATHER'S DAT

fUNE 9 is named to be observed as Father's day. It does not

ippear how extensively this occas-Is observed. Father will not be

overwhelmed by any great multi-tude of gifts, tributes, and appre-

| elation. There are times when jFathsr Is regarded as something of

Joks. His day may be observed i some families by the suggestion

Ithat he celebrate his own day by (taking the kids to the ball gam«.

Perhaps one reason why Father's [day Is not regarded with more

ineral recognition Is that Father not invariably attend strictly

his duties as a Father. The •family would have a hard row ] without Father's efforts. In the Imain hfc wears his harness falth-| fully, and pulls the load over count-less hard places. Olve him a break im Father's day!

A 80,000 PICNIC

j r p H E T HAD the second annual all-states picnic June 1 at On-

Itarlo, California, at which guests Iwere expected from every state In I the United States, with tables set Ifor 60,000 people. It was a gesture lof friendship for all the states of I the union, and symbolic of the tie lof nelghborllness which should hold | all the states together.

When people go on a picnic any-Iwhere, they forget the petty jeal-lousles of their families and nelgh-Ibors. They are so busy eating ham I sandwiches and batting balls on the I picnic ground, that they disregard I some mean things the neighbors I have said. A picnic for all the states is a reminder that we are all neigh-

Ibors, and should work together as harmoniously as people do for the fun of picnic day.

MILITARY TRAINING

I ' T H E CHAIRMAN of the Amerl-1 can Bar association's bill of rights committee holds that a uni-versal military training Is needed for the safety of the country, and that a great effort should be made to place 3,000.000 men under a r m /

| within a year. Military power seems now to

(count more than Justice or the promises made in treaties. The present armed forces maintained by the American people seem very inadequate. The oceans that sur-round our continent are a wonder-ful protection, but If the British and French should have to surrend-

e r their navies, the defense meas-ures once considered adequate will be so no longer. When a strong

| little nation like Holland can be | beaten down in five days. It is time for even a great nation to polish up its weapons, and learn how to

I shoot

PAYING FOR DEFENSE

/CONGRESS is apparently about ^ to provide new and increased taxes to pay for national defense. It shMrid do so. The American peo-ple have been giving themselves illusory hopes, by the freedom with

| which they have borrowed money. jThey have dreamed that it would be easier to pay their debts at soms future date than It la now. As con-ditions now look, it will be harder to pay in future than now.

It is suggested that about 1700,• 000,000 of the new defense costs be provided by increased taxes, and that the rest be borrowed, thus pil-ing heavier and heavier loads on the future. The American people should say they want the defense and are willing to pay for it, and do not want to load off this bur-den on future years and their chil-dren.

Either taxes or debts are far less of a burden than the costs of war if we become involved in it. If the defense program is speeded up, as It seems likely to be. the war mak-ers will speak softly to Uncle Sam.

GRADUATION DAY

Q N E OF the great days of the Journey through life here In

Michigan is that time when the youth graduates from a school or college. The day marks one of those deep lines of division which separ-ate the eras and periods of exper-ience. If the graduation is the final one, completing the student's ed-ucation, it is like a great bridge over which he crosses into an un-known future.

Yesterday he was a mere student, straggling to learn the wisdom of the ages, and acquire some skill In handling the tools through which w« build something worth while. Thoughts of thousands of wise men, philosophers, poets, scientists, have been poured Into his mind. He has been given access to the libraries of the world, to find what the hu-man race has learned in its upward climb.

Tomorrow he becomes one of the workers of the world, or at least he tries to become one. A mighty array of new problems arise to torment him. He not merely has to sell his services to the world, but he has to make the aenrices so pleasing to the world that he will receive bread and meat and house rent in return.

What is the most fitting form of program for a day so epochal In the life of youth? Some schools like to get some great man in the world of thought to come and talk to the graduates and their friends there assembled. It is a fine time to pre-sent new ideas that shall make a lasting impression on minds whose patterns are not yet stereotyped into permanent form.

To the public the most interest-ing kind of graduation is perhaps the program in which leading mem-b e n of the graduating class are given a chance to utter their own thoughts. The world thereby gets an Idea of what they have learned through these years of study. It is a pleasure to see what wise and mature thoughts are presented on these occasions. The graduates know a lot more than their par-ents did at the same age.

Lowell Postoffice Breaks All Records

Postmaster F. J. Hosley reports that the postal receipts for May. 1940 shows it to be the greatest for that month ever recorded. May 1939 was a record but this year's receipts of $1,983.18 is in excess of that figure by (160.00.

The calendar year 1939 was the largest ever attained by the local post office but the first four months of 1940 show a healthy increase over the same period one year ago promising a record year.

"This Increase. I am pleased lo state, is directly attributable to In-creased activity of local business Institutions," says Mr. Hosley.

We see where A. W. Kammeyer of Concordia, Mo., has won the safe drivers' contest conducted by the National Safety Council of Chi-cago for having driven 675,000 miles without an accident in 18 years.

A petition bearing a goodly num-ber of signatures was presented to the Common Council Monday night requesting that the time limit on parking be Increased from one to two hours, also requesting that same be effective up to 10:00 o'-clock on Saturday nights Instead of 5 o'clock.

matter under consideration and fur-ther study.

Some day—yes, some day there will be far-sighted men who will create untold wealth for the good of all by seeing to it that thousands of acres of land now considered worth-less is again put to work growing another crop of pine. The opportun-ity is right here in our own vicin-ity. It is a proven fact that land that grew one crop of pine will grow another. Seize time by the forelock.

Sealed bids for the East and West side school properties were opened by the Board of Education on Monday night and t̂ is quite apparent that school buildings that have outlived their usefulness are not In much demand as not a single bid was received for the East Ward school and only two bids for the old West Ward or Perry School, one of which was for $150 for the material only, made by a wrecking concern and another bid of $350 for the property as It stands, made by the Lowell Board of Trade which was accepted by the school board.

Parallel parking became effective here Monday on Main Street. M-21 and Hudson St ree t M-66 and the observer's first Impression tha t the traffic lane In the business district i had been suddenly widened as though by a magic hand. Or to put It in cold figures, parallel parking has added 12 feet more for vehicle traffic because of the space saved over the angle parking system pre-viously used here. The change seems to meet with general approv-al, especially so because of the added safety feature. The general appearance of Main Street has been greatly improved.

A reminder of the Lowell of days gone by was found recently by Mrs. Frank Shores of Keene-tp. While digging In her garden, Mrs. Shores uncovered an old trade tok-en with a mirror on one side and on the other side, the date June 16, 1868, advertising the firm of Devendorf and Blain, dealers in "Staple and Fancy Dry Goods". Ac-cording to old timers this f i rm was located In the building now occu-pied by the Fahrnl Cream SUtion. The fact that this trade token was found in Keene-tp. shows that even In the olden days, farmers from far and near came to Lowell to do their trading.

It is becoming more and more evident that Lowell is in need of and should have a modern hospital. Hardly a day passes but that one or more persons from this vicinity have to be put in ambulances and taken to hospitals in other cities, sometimes twenty miles away, sometimes one hundred or more miles. No doubt some can afford such expense but the vast majority cannot afford it and it is for these that hospitalization should be more economically accessible right here at home. There are one or more sightly locations for such an in-stitution overlooking this beautiful valley where the rivers meet—a visla fhat in Itself would help to bring health again to the sick and weary. As the poet, Thomson says: 'The finished garden to the view, its vistas opens."

"During the past years you have been in the process of being educa-ted. Now education is life. It is ex-perience—the experience of thou-sands of years of clviliiation fo-cusing upon you. Your high school diploma will represent a part of civilization's experiencs. It means that certain parts of liff have be-come your experience. Attitude is the emotional willingness to use

^pacts one way or another. "The ultimate end of life is the

development of personality. Human rouls are the final units of life. For them exist institutions, cus-toms, 1?.W8. For them we have schools and the means of educa-tion. Education can be the means of building a life of usefulness or It can be the means of building a life that Is a detriment to society. Education is power. Power is mor-ally neutral. It can be used to create or destroy. I challenge you to make use of your education for the sole purpose of building a life of usefulness. Don't go out into the world believing your diploma Is a guarantee for everything you want. Think of it as an opportunity with responsibility. It is an opportunity opening the gates to a wider, rich-er life with the responsibility of

sating a better world.

The Greene Circle of the Metho-dist Ladles Aid will meet Tuesday evening, June 11, with Mrs. Charles Brown at 206 Riverside-dr.

The Townsend Club will meet this Friday evening at the home of Mrs. E. L. Kinyon on Monroe-ave.

Education Is Experience

Elements for Success Are Here

"All the elements for creating a useful, successful life are about you, but you must appropriate them and use them. Your education Is a tool for use In creating a useful life, to help bring order out of con-fusion and create that kind of world of which the Master spoke as the Kingdom of God.

"How are you going to use your education? What attitudes are go-ing to control your use of facts. Let me suggest some which I be-lieve every educated person should have: 1. Attitude of moral respon-sibility. Our country believes so thoroughly In education that It goes to tremendous expense to furnish an opportunity for educa-tion to all. You are morally obliga-ted to at least live up to the re-quirements of the country. That so far as you are concerned there will be no need of policemen, no need of courts of law. no need for prisons. That so far as you are con-cerned these forms of Social Con-trol do not Include you. Is that too much to expect of the educated?

"What kind of society you be-long to In the Just place Is a mat-ter of accident. What It will be In the next generation depends upon the attitudes of the people of today. The creation of a better world awaits the coming of a people who want to make choices, assume moral responsibility and seek a world built upon the principles of brotherhood and good will. If you fail in your moral responsibility

Lowell Chosen As Home by Many

Each year finds more people mov-ing to Lowell to live. Because of the nearness to a large city and In-dustrial center. Lowell has a great many residents who prefer the ad-vantages of our community for they can maintain an urban residence and still have the advantages of the city. Many move here because of our fine schools, because of family ties or they choose Lowell as a place to live after they retire from active business life. Among those from away who have moved here in the last few years are

and Dandelions." But how about the latter In the

lawn? We have been scrapping a patch In our lawn for over a year and It Is still a question who will win. One thing that can be done Is to cut the top root as deep as pos-sible and remove the plant. Keep-ing at the plants will In time era-dicate them providing there Isn't a source of new seed coming It. Checking experiences of others, from a magazine, we find one fel-low who takes the vacuum cleaner out and collects all the seed. An-other person stabs the middle of the plant with concentrated Sul-phuric hydrochloric acid on the top of the plant. Another man writes that gasoline will do the trick when dropped on the plant. Another man on the trail of the dandelions uses carbolic acid, and another one kerosene.

Take your pick of the liquids, but don't miss any plants.

62,620 In 4-H Clubs Each year the 4-H Club Depart-

In the state last year there were 6.483 clubs with an enrollment of 62,620 with 55.069 completions or 87.9% finishers. Michigan was the sixth state in the number of com-pletions. The county has 198 clubs with 1413 different members en-rolled In 1939. 92JS% of all projects In the county were completed. Only 11.6% of rural boys and girls were reached in Club work. This Is low but federal census reports show more than 12,204 such boys and girls in the county due to the urban and industrial population of the county. Nearly 60% of all club members re-enroll in club work. This Is above the state average. En-rollments show 628 club members per extension agent lo the county.

adopted a baby boy. She and her husband became so in-fatuated with the charms of the tiny Keith that a year or two later they adopted a brother for him.

Never were parents so hap-py as these two in their hand-some boys. John Macgregor came home every night to play with "our kids" and help put them to bed. Nell Mac-gregor boasted everywhere of the smar tness of " the chil-dren." And when Keith was three and Bruce two. Nature stepped in and sent the Mac-gregors a boy of their own, and this morning when the ages of their small family are five, four and two years I am in-formed that there is to be another child.

Slop Worrying. This happens so often that it

makes one realize that the minute a woman begins to stop fretting, and worrying, and thinking exclu-sively about something, is often the very moment when she is near-est to attaining i t Over and over again the years, in which a woman talks and worries and hopes for a child, are wasted years and when she becomes absorbed in some-thing real and forgets her yearnings, the contrary baby decides it is time to start on its way.

It is the same way with the un-married woman whose whole thought is a fear of spinsterhood and a desire to secure a beau. She ema-nates some element that repels a man's interest; she creates about her an atmosphere that is destruc-tive to a love affair. Such a woman places far too much importance upon the whole thing. She can't take love naturally; she is always thinking of it, construing the most innocent friendly advances of any man, into serious declarations, frightening him off with her own too-eager response.

Looks Plsy Minor Role. Hundreds of women, whose ages

range from 24 to 40, write me every year about this problem. Sometimes they send their pictures, to prove to me that they are good-looking. As if looks had anything to do with it!

But they think looks have. And many a time it is her fussiness about her appearance, her embar-rassed apologies for her hair or her old hat, or that maddening UtUe patch of poison-oak on her cheek-bone that make a man know that here ii a bom old maid, thinking of nothing but herself. Or rather, think*

"Tom," said this girl, "we have to takt my kid brother to Grand ma'I. And Mama wants ma to stop and get her soma vanilla. Isn't this fun! This is the first time we'va been to a movie together!"

In the nose, with an old coat, with errands to do. II there is one qual-

Atirrvx* a xt Ky a man likes in a woman it Is WOMAN in our town, ..comfortableness." He likes to be a f t e r n i n e c h i l d l e s s m , d e to forget himself, forget thst v o o r s nf m n r r i n c r p . he is openly announcing himself es

an admirer of this woman, forget everything except the pleasantness of companionship and the fun and |oy of a good time.

The other night, on an evening walk, I passed a small lighted house from whose doorway a tall girl was briskly emerging. A young man was waiting in the garden shadows for her. and as she approached him she was calling back a message into the house.

"Mary, if you read my book don't lose the place; I will. Mama! I will. Dad. Tom," aaid this girl. Joining the waiting swain, "we have to take my kid brother to Grand-ma's, because my sister's here with her baby. And Mama wants me to stop and get her some vanilla; I promised I'd make a chocolate cus-tard for Dad tomorrow. Isn't this fun!" she went on. as she and the young man went toward his car, "d'you realize this is the first Ume we've been to a movie together?"

The Full Life. The first time. But if I know men

it wasn't the last. For in her easy, Joyous way she'd told him that she loved her family and needed them, and they needed her, and that«even a beau didn't put her father's, moth-er's, Ulster's, brother's comfort out of her mind; that she was interested in plenty of things other than the excitement of having a man take her to a movie.

To be able to extend simple friend-liness to male friends, as easily as to women friends, is a real gift But if it is not a natural thing it can be cultivated. Hie secret is to be a whole, complete person yourself, not waiting for another person to round out your entity. The moment a woman finds life full and saUsfying, some man turns up who wants to break in on that happy, contented life, and share i t She is absorbed in books, friends, work, hobbies, plans. Next summer she is going to do wonderful things; next win-ter she has been promised that ador-able apartment she's had her eye on for two years. Friday night is sym-phony night and Tuesday night is the hilarious Spanish class, on Sun-day she always goes out to her brother's place and they picnic or do something with the children. She has a victrola, a radio and a car and one or two of those male stand-bys who are not beaus, exactly, but who are always on hand for escort duty on real occasions.

Challenge to Men. When an eligible man meets •

woman whose life is as well-rounded as this, s yearning to upset her smug litUe apple-cart takes possession of him. She doesn't need him, and so he has to convince her that she does. He asks her curiously why the, at 32, has not married, and she can

th. man I. jetting of her.elf. I h . l l k M m e n r e s l l j , ^ ^ She can be natural and simple and

amusing, with comfortable silent in-tervals, in the presence of anyone else. But the minute a man is sround she goes stiff, self-conscious and silly; Uttering, saying things the doesn't mean, painfully shy one moment wildly reckless the next al-ways presenting to him not only her least natural side, but making an Impression that is absolutely un-fair to herself.

Develop 'Comfertableaets.' The resl basic trouble is that such

'ES sir, what you're looking at is the biggest-selling Buick of all time —which,

in times like these, is certain proof that here's the best'duf/t Buick of all time.

But why just look at it? fVAy not try it?

Why not go find out what this car's got that has made more people buy Buick this year than even back in the easy-money days of the twenties?

See what there is about that big, hundred-plus horsepower Dynaflash straight-eight that gets people — what it*t like to have plenty-room all around and style that has the highway eyeing you.

You ought to know about the BuiCoil Spring-ing ride—it's not only gentle and easy, but these soft steel coils eliminate a lot of fuss and care about lubrication.

And you ought to have the straight

dope about prices that make this Buick the yardstick of up-to-the-minute car values.

This much will give you an idea: Curreot pricesf begin at $895 for the business coupe, delivered at Flint, Mich. ^Transportation based on rail rates, state and local taxes (if any), optional equipment and accessories are to be added.

What the total amounts to is a surprisingly low figure — one your local Buick dealer will be tickled to show you.

8s a plank. They can be good—and they can be much worse. It Isn't •11 a matter of milk and honey.

There Is the somewhat melan-choly case of my old golf, bridge and fishing partner known as Dlzry Dean. Diz was as goofy as a coot in many ways, espe-cially when it came to popping off, but he was a great pitcher and a grand fellow with whom to fish or play golf, which is no bad test. And he brought more color to the game through a comparatively brief span than anyone since Babe Ruth, j

Thinking of his recent somersanltB in the box I turned back to his bet-ter days. From 1933 through 1936, s matter of four major leaicur years, Ole Dis won 102 ball games, sn sversge belter than 25 a year through four consecutive seasons. That was far away and long ago for Ole DIs.

The Glory That Was Dean s In 1936 he was only 25 years old. I

six feet three Inches In height and i weighed 189 pounds. With that free. | easy motion of his. an almost per- j feet pitching motion. Dean appar-1 ently had at least 10. good years' left. He couldn't miss. In addition to blazing speed, a sharp-breaking curve, and a change of pace, Dlz , had a cool, smart pitching head and 1

his full share of heart. He had about everything a great1

pitcher needs. He couldn't miss. Then the tragedy of 1937 came

along when he flrat picked ap an injured loe. A short while later, lacking his fall follow tbroagh, he blew a fuse in his pitching shoulder. Uncle Charlie Moran was umpiring the game that day when Dli devel-oped the kink that has been called many names, from barsitis on down through the list of ailments and Ills.

Bought by Chicago. Ole Diz won only seven games In 1938 and only six games in 1939. pitching almost exclusively with the old bean. His fast ball couldn't break the cuticle of a custard pie. The wonder is that he could win any games at all.

From the Cotton Fields Being naturally lazy, Dlz then be-

gan to put op weight and this was no great help. He moved from 189 to 220 In two years. Diz came up the hard way—maybe too hard a way. He told me once that he and Paul and his father, after picking cotton from "sun to | sun"—sunup to sun-down—had only a can or two of sar-

Dltsy Dean dines and crackers for their daily and

I've been with both when Dizzy argued that Paul had more stuff "than I ever had."

And Paul would come back. "1 never was in Dizzy's class."

Dizzy never minded being called I Dizzy—but Paul, a quiet, shy, retir-ing fellow, never liked to be known as Daffy. That was a nickname Paul resented bitterly.

The average fan likes Dizzy Dean. The average fan likes color. Dizzy gave him a whirl of excitement and fun for several years.

I've been asked many hundreds of times whether or not Dizzy had any-thing left how much he had saved

prise blitzkrieg for Johnny Bull. But England has taken strong defense measures of late to be ready for the worst and she has promised a warm reception for any Invader.

France's Interior seemed a bit stronger too, for as the Germans moved against the trapped Flanders army in the north the line of defense across the nation's central axis was decidedly bolstered.

U. S. DEFENSE: Progress

President Roosevelt's fourteenth fireside chat began a series of

events In the new national defense pro-gram that w a s marked by Increas-ing attention to the details of getting Un-cle Sam's house In order—"come what may."

Influenced chiefly by the progress of the German army in Its drive toward Paris and London Americans of both

major political parties are getting behind the President's announced objective of building defenses of the Western hemisphere "to whatever hplghts the future may demand.

Pleading for unity In the drive for military security, the President in nis nation-wide radio address warned against Trojan Horse treachery with-in the nation's borders. He pledged that the government would not ex-pect private capital to provide all of the funds necessary.

Tax This statement Invoked discussion

as to how the government Intended to foot the necessarily large bill of any such program. A defense-tax movement has been gaining ground In congress. This Is a com-plete about-face on the subject by the legislators. When the first pro-posals were made to Increase arma-ments. most members of the senate and house passed over the matter of providing the money by remark-ing that the Important thing to do was to provide the defenses and worry about paying for them later.

Now the sentiment is that a flat 10 per cent increase in individual and corporate in- ^ , come taxes might be • A the best way to meet the obligations to be Incurred by the bll-llon-dollar program now under full steam.

And as the rising war hysteria spread over the nation it seemed likely that this suggestion would not meet the disap-proval such a tax in-

crease would ordinarily encounter. Reading reports of the fierce power of German military might. U. S. cit-izens may prefer to dig down In their jeans for preparedness than feel home defenses were Insecure.

Commission A presidential commission of sev-

en, appointed to muster the coun-try's economic resources In connec-tion with the preparedness drive, was announced in Washington. This commission represents a lay "gen-eral staff" which will work with government officials and agencies In lining up men, materials and plans for speeding up armament produc-tion.

The commission: Edward R. Stettlnlus Jr., U. S.

Steel company chairman, who will supervise production of raw materials; William S. Knudsen, General Motors pro-duction wizard, who will direct his atten-tion to manufactur-ing problems; Sid-ney Hlllman, Amal-gamated Clothing Workers union pres-ident, responsible for labor matters; Chester C. Davis, Federal R e s e r v e

board member and former AAA di-rector, who will guide agriculture's course; Ralph Budd. president of the C. B. 8c Q. railroad, transpor-tation; Leon Henderson, chairman of the Securities commission, will check on stabilization of wholesale prices: and Miss Harriet Elliott, University of North Carolina, who will guard the consumer* Interests.

Like This Scheduled to be an important cog

In the machinery of defense, the automobile industry was given a tuning up by Secretary of the Treas-ury Morgenthau on his announce-ment that the annual policy ol In-troducing new car models may be discontinued after this year. In charge of airplane procurement, be believes It may be necessary to keep assembly lines open tor planes. Henry Ford ssys after six months he can turn out • thousand planes a dsy If necessary.

Each week subscribers read of the activities of many people, whose names are mentioned in these columns—some of them your neighbors and close friends. Others are well known by reputation through reading about them in this newspaper. ' 'Humanity makes news." Our correspondents and news gathering facilities bring to you practically all of the news concern-ing the people of this community.

The Ledger is a welcome visitor in thousands of homes in Lowell and surrounding townships. It pushes no doorbell to gain entry; it brings no sigh from the busy housewife: "Well, there is another agent ." It is no handbill cluttering up automobiles, nor blowing around from dooryard to dooryard. It ia not a mailed circular tha t a t -tracts only passing attention and ia thrown aside. No husband coming in f rom hia day's work aits down and asks his wife: "Where ia the latest cir-cular?" but hundreds of them ask, "Where is the Ledger?"

That is the clientele Merchants reach when they use the Ledger for advertising purposes. It is a clientele that is responsive to merchandising messages well told and backed by competitive price.

Farm Loan Group Meets Saturday

The Directors of the Qrand Rap-Ids National Farm Loan Association are preparing for a larger attend-ance when the annual shareholder*' meeting Is held on Saturday, June 8, at 1:30 p. m. at the Paris Grange hall on the South Belt Line road.

Again, as laat year, there will be an election of directors this year to fill the vacancies due to the ex-piration of the terms of Charlea Chapel of Marne, and Charles Mont-gomery of Kent City. It Is expected that all members will want to participate.

The business meeting will Include a complete presentation of all the facts regarding the aaaoclatlon.

In the process of creation. He put moral laws Into the universe that are just as true and certain as the natural laws. Moral laws of the universe are true. You can't break them.

" 'Be not deceived, God Is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he alao reap'. Ac-cepting moral responsibility Is co-operating with God. God Is terrific In punishing those who disobey His laws.

Think for Youraeif

And secondly, another attitude should be the ability to think for for yourself. It was the Master teacher of all time who said 'as a man thlnketh In his heart so Is he'. The pupil cannot Improve on that and If you do not think you will be of very little use to youraeif or to society. To refuse to think, to re-fuae to use your God given powers of thought Is to throw away the chief glory of man. Then you be-come p. mere tool to be used by other men.

"What you produce openly you first live with secretly. The Master told a story which Illustrates this statement. The prodigal son began to think of a gay life away from his father's care. His thinking caus-ed him to go Into a fa r country where he sank to the bottom of society. Then he began to think In the other direction and when his thinking was redirected a trans-formation In character followed. So will It be with you. A low type of thinking will produce a low type of living. The kingdom of heaven, yes. any kingdom is within you.

Let Ideas Dae You

"Let the great Ideas of the uni-verse use you. Ideas live only as long as they are incarnated in hu-man life. This accounts for the fact that sin Is still with us. In every age, sin finds minds willing to be used. This also accounts for the existence of goodness, truth, beauty. In every age people are willing to be used by these ideas.

"If you go out Into the world with a low conception of your fellow man, you will treat him In that manner. You will have no thought for his personality. No conception of honor, no respect for purity and virtue. Now the idea that man is nothing but an animal continues to live because In every age It finds people who believe it. Jesus aald a man Is the Child of God, created In hla Image, bearing on his soul the atamp of divinity. I pray that you will let this Idea use you.

Service for Other*

"A third attitude which you ahould have Is one of service for others. Moral responaiblllty unites with Individual thinking to produce a life of service for others. This attitude uses all the facta of life, not f o j self-advancement of person-al wealth but to help othera have a richer, fuller life. Life ahould be for othera and not for aelf alone. A really aelflsh person will do anything as long as he can gain personally from the deed. He will betray hia fellow man. He will use hia best friend as s means for per-sonal gain. The educated should accept the responsibility of making some contribution to the common welfare and also to ^rork for the advancement of all

"Jesus lived in a world of self-ishness. People wanted places of influence and power. His answer to them waa 'He that would be grea^ muat be the servant of all'. He further challenged the selfish standard of life hy saying 'Do unto others sa you would have them do unto you'. That is—if you want to know how to treat your fellow man put youraeif in hia place. We have not yet learned to live by that atandard. You must help In thst direction.

Greatest Sin

"The greateat sin thst csn be committed by sny man is to stsnd in the great stream of civilisstion with all i ts cultural, spiritual and moral chamnals coming to a focua in Him and then refuae to let these Influences flow through him into other Uvea. Jeaua said *1 sanctify myself for others'. Everything thst flows through my life will be for othara.

"Whatever walk of life you enter you can enrich U by living a life of service for othevs or you can darrads it by living for aslf alora.
