mean financial and social success for an individual. Education provides the means by which an individual can improve himself. If he has the ability, he has the opportunity to carry on his education and become a professional or enter other desirable occupations. Parents and other adults have <ei. responsiblity to all children. The schools must offer quality education designed to meet the needs of each child, second rate schools are detrimental to the interests of students, adults and the nation. Anv taTent which is not developed is a waste of our most imixirtant resource. People are the back-
bone of our soceity. This week should not only be directed at parents but at all adults. Everyone should join in the programs to find out what is happening in the schools. Naturally, an individual could not possibly obtain all the necessary information in one week. This should be the beginning of a new intersest. Consider this week as an opportunity to begin attending school programs. There are several ways in which members of a community can help improve the schools. One way is to support the schools by attending school

IF YOU add up the people in the world who are rich and the people who want to be rich, you will just about have the sum total of the people in this world.

Dr. Foreman asm to three ordinary questions about money. Is money a good thing? Is it all right to want all the money I can get? If I get rich will 1 be happy? Thou who want to bo rloh Suppose some one tells you he has an ambition to make big money. You would be likely to say, "Fine, I hope you make it. More power to you!" But in the Letter to Timothy we read what Saint Paul has to say to his young preacher-friend about what to say and preach to people ’ about money. Paul has no illusions about wealth. He had seen wealthy men and was not impressed. He has some pretty hard things to say about wealth. Perhaps he knew that Jesus had said, "You cannot serve God and Mammon” (meaning wealth) Paul says money is a temptation and a trap. He even says that money, or rather the love of it, is the "root "of all evils.” He doesn't mean that every wrong act and sin is done for the sake of money. Anybody knows that would he an exaggeration. But if you want to sec how right Paul was, just look over a newspaper and see if money doesn’t figure in a majority of the crime stonea. Thou who are rloh You can hear members of Timothy’s congregation the first Sunday after he got his letter from Paul. Maybe the first Sunday surely some time Timothy would talk along lines that Paul's correspondence had suggested. He would be preaching away about the dangers of wealth, how we can bring nothing into the world and take nothing out,—saying that the love of money is a souldestroying thing, and so on. Yov could almost hear some mat thinking: "What's this got to do with me? I made my pile before these missionaries converted me. I can’t see that wanting money or having it ever hurt me. Am I a sinner just because I'm rich?" Timothy's answer to that question (if it was ever put to him in so many words) might have been to point out what Paul said about contentment, for one thing. The happiest people you know aie not often the richest people you know. This doesn’t mean that poverty is the best state for everybody. It does mean that if we look to our bank accounts for happiness, that is not the right place to look. The eonvertlon of money Is a man ever converted untl> his money is converted? That is something that can be debated. But how do we convert money? Money is just a thing, and things can’t have faith, hope or love. True; but in the strict meaning of the word "convert,” meaning to change, money can be turned into something else. Money can be and is a tool, an instrument It can be used to crush other men, it can be used to build up pride and selfishness; it can be a dagger to stab the soul to death. On the other hand, money used as a gift from God, carefully used in stewardship, not as if we owned it apart from God, such money (or possessions of any sort for that matter) can be converted into good deeds. The question soChristians to ask is not, What would I do with a million dollars? The question is, What do I do with the money I have? It is just as easy to be selfish with a dollar as with a million dollars. And it is just as possible to bo generous with your few posses sions as it would if you were a j millionaire.
