WHY GO TO CHURCH? ■—M———————■—M !■ ■ HI I II— Sooner or Inter every one will be in need of superhuman strength. To each one will cotne occardonw of sore trials, heavy burdens, irreparable losses, keen disappointments and finally death. Without superhuman strength for those occasions there are set up such mental disturbances as are seen in deranged minds, loss of self-control, and suicide; or are seen In milder experiences or expressions such as pessimism, fault-finding and continued unhappiness. In the creation of man provision has been made for a balanced life in that required supply of power that will make possible a normal equilibrium so that when a trial comes a man can walk through it as if there had been none; when a heavy burden has to be borne he can carry It as though it had no weight; and when he faces losses strength for endurance is provided; when death conies there is such an outlook on life given as to count the close of earthly existence but an incident. Christianity offers this needed superhuman strength; the one institution that propagates Christianity is the church. The welcome extended by every church is for the good of all. WHY NOT GO TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY? o Faith restores. ♦ ♦ ♦ Faith empowers. ♦ ♦ ♦ Faith invigorates. ♦ ♦ ♦ It feels good to do goal. ♦ ♦ ♦ The world is looking for men who cannot be bought. ♦ ♦ ♦ The world is looking for men who merit the confidence of others. ♦ ♦ ♦ The church consists of two classesBystanders and Stand-byers. ♦ ♦ ♦ Remember that you get the respect you earn-no more. ♦ ♦ ♦ Put a limit to your pleasures. Know when to go slow. ♦ ♦ ♦ The materials for building character are in our hands. ♦ ♦ ♦ The world is looking for men who ran see opportunities. ♦ ♦ ♦ What would your home bj.-like if there were no churches? ♦ ♦ ♦ The world is looking for men who have ability, honor and integrity. ♦ ♦ ♦ No man is wholly “self-made”. What ever he may have achieved there have been many who helped him in the process. ♦ ♦ ♦ We cannot foresee our tomorrows, but we know we must build them on the foundations we are building today. ♦ ♦ ♦ God has bestowed upon us the high honor of taking us into partnership in the work of making the world better ♦ ♦ ♦ The greatest thrill in life comes when we discover that through Christ we may beepme what we ought to be. ♦ ♦ ♦ Patriotism is not merely brass buttons and brass bands; it is loving the country enough to want to be a loyal citizen of it. ♦ ♦ ♦ Happiness is one thing; Joy is another; and it is possible to have a deep and abiding joy in the midst of very unhappy circumstances. Some of those who flatter themselves with the name of “advanced thinkers” are neither thinking nor advancing. It is not wise to be misled by names. o Weekly Story Os Early Education In The Homes Some one said to Edison, “How do you go about inventing anything He said, “I first find out all that everybody knows about the subject, collecting and reading everything concerning it, with the help of my assistants; and then I go at it. keeping my mind upon it and experimenting from tweleve to twenty hours, a day, and I stick to it til I get what I want”

When questioned further, he said, "Before succeeding with my electric light, I tested 6,000 vegetable growths for an ideal substance for use as a filament inside the glass tube. Every nook of the world was searched and I fiinally got it.” Mr. Edison once said to a young man. “Nover look at the clock except to be sure that you get to work early In the morning.” o — THE QUESTION BOX (Send problems in question form, answers will appear in later issue.) 1, What are the best short missionary courses for young people? We would suggest Missionary Education in Home and School, by Ralph Diffendorfer; Foreign Missions in Action, by 14.I 4 . O. Hartman; Working with Christ for India, by Oscar M. Buck: The New Map of the World by Luccock; The Christian Conquest of America, by Keeler; Christianity and World Democracy, by George Heber Jones. These for the most part are thirteen lesson courses. 2. Do you know of any young people’s classes that are tithing as a class? Yes. there is a class in Washington, D. C. composed of business girls The class was organized in 1917 and grew until the attendance reached .100, when half the girls decided to tithe their incomes, the average salary being SIOO per month—meager in a city like Washington. These girls were regularly sending money home or helping brothers and sisters in college. How did this effect the whole class? One hundred and fifty gave a total of $1,500 a month or SIB,OOO a year. They adopted their own missionary and paid her salarv in full. The class budget today is SIO,OOO per year and they always go beyond their budget.

John W. Scopes, on trial for violating the Tennessess anti-evolution law, used “Civic Biology," by George W. Munter, in flying in the face of the Tennessee solons who voted to ban the theory of evolution from the scholos of that state. The same bok is approved in Indiina by the state board of education. It is not regarded by educators as •adical in tone and was selected by jfficials of Manual Training High school as a text book in the science department. Other schools over the state have also used the book, it was stated. Hunter’s text discusses the doctrine jf evolution in plain terms and refers to Charles Darwin as “the great English scientist.” Darwin was the first scientist to promulgate the theory of evolution. “We have now learned that animal forms may be arranged so as to be.;in with very simple one-celled forms ind culminate with a group which contains man himself," says an extract from Hunter's book. “This arrangement is called the jvolutionary series. Evolution means change, and these groups are believed by scientists to represent stages in complexity of development of life on earth. “Naturalists believe that all backboned or vertebrate animals are related to each other through being descended from a common ancester, the first or oldest backboned animal.” The book classifies man as an animal having a backbone or vertebra, i "Animal Studies," a text by Jordan, Kellogg and Heath, also in use in Indianapolis schools, also goes at length into the theory of evolution. •’lt is believed,” says the latter book, “that the descendants of the first backboned animal have in course of time through successive generations branched off little and little from the original type until there came to exist very real and obvious differences among the backbone animals.” Teaching evolution from Robinson and Beard s "Outlines of European History," resulted in the ousting of Floyd Deen, high school teacher at

Oriole, ind., by August Dooge, true- 1 tee. Tho book, also approved by the state department of public instruction, briefly explains the Darwinian theory of evolution and traces its I effect on modern European thought. Deen said he confined himself strict- 1 ly to the contents of the text book in I explaining evolution to members of j his classes. o j | UNSANITARY PRACTICE ( Using Os Cosmetics Os Another Person is Unhealthy And 111-mannered, Says Beauty Expert. Chicago, July 22.—Nothing is more unsanitary or ill-mannered than using the cosmetics of another person according to Emily Uoyd, beauty expert and head of the National Schools ' of Cosmeticians. “One might just as well use an-1 other person’s toothbrush as use her . lipstick, powder puff or eyebrow pencil," said Miss IJoyd, in an address ! here. “And yet we all have friends I who sit before our dressing tables and utilize our very personal articles of cosmetics. “What can be more unsanitary than a powder puff saturated with oil from the skin? The woman who has the audacity to ask to borrow one shows, great lack of breeding. Using the lip-, stick of another is not only outrageous but a very dangerous thing, foe one should not submit one’s self or another to germ transference. We are not cognizan of the germs that lurk on the lips of friends. Most women have a babit of moistening their eyebrow pencils and bru- ( shea with saliva. Figure this out for j yourself the next time you decide to use another person’s eyebrow brush > on those eyes of yours. “One should keep separate pieces of absorbent cotton on the dressing, table for applying powder and rouge, and this eliminates the idea of a •family puff'. After the lipstick has; been used clean the end with a piece of gauze. “If someone asks to use your makeup at a party, it is very easy to say, •I’m sorry but there's no powder on ! this puff or I’m afraid to lend my lip- j stick as I recently had a cold sore and you shouldn't use it. A real friend won’t put you to this embarrassment, l but if she does, say ‘No’ every time, i Marion. — Scott° Lewis is the first Grant county farmer to deliver 1925 wheat at the Marion elevator. ■' "j »-i
