Two have won pennants in their leagues. Three hundred basketball games were played by 14 class teams last winter. ; The boys come from the downtown district and represent a changing population of factory workers who move from city to city, the teacher reports. : Mr. Rood is a bachelor who gives his leisyre time to the boys. Speaking as a businessman he says: “The outstanding thing about the U. B. Builders in my opinion is that they not only finance their own nrogram~bit give money to the church. Last year their gifts to the church amounted to $225 while more than $150 went into recreation. They earned the money cutting grass, carrying papers and doing- odd jobs which makes them feel that they are really a part of the church and Sunday school.”

JANE JORDAN—
DEE JANE JORDAN—Four months age I met # am 24. From the beginning we started to see day. After two months he told me that he loved me, Then our trouble started: I started to pay for our amusements. I bought him clothes and gave him money. I'll admit that I was jealous of him, because as soon as he got a car with my money, he started to step out on me. A month ago he married a girl whom he had known a short time. : . _ I was with him the week before he married and he said that he would not marry until he had paid me all he owed me. For a while he was afraid to speak to me or even look at me, but now he notices me and always speaks. When his employers kid him about his marriage, he said he married a woman who owned a few acres of land, Why did he hurt me so? Did he really love me? Or did he play me for a fool? : . : : Do you think that one of these days he will realize how much I loved him, and that that was the reason I did all those things for him? When he wears the suit I gave him and smokes the pipe 1 bought him, does he think of me? If you think I have a chance to get him back, please tell me how. | EB J. # = 2 EJ os FJ
Answer—You have made a worthless investment. You have lost your money and lost your man. The only sensible thing you can do is to charge it up to : man money or
experience and start over. Let this be a lesson to you. Never give a young shower gifts upon him. In our society the male is the provider. It is he who does the courting; he who spends money and buys gifts. When a woman takes it upon herself to play the masculine role in eourtship, with her suitor on the receiving end she detracts from his strong masculinity and makes him feel inferior, Any man who is willing to accept his living from the girl he courts reveals a basic weakness of character which should, and does, warn most people against him. His attitude toward life is infantile y jn thas he wants a mother, or a mother-substitute, to take care of

“ AT of courage” is the description of Elijah for the purposes of this lesson. It might have been “a man of faith,” for Elijah’s associated with the depth and strength of his

idolatrous worship in which the people were imitating pagan peoples who surrounded them. This was not merely a ‘matter of mistaken ideas in religion, but the worship of Baal was associated with licentious practices contrary to the fine ideals of home, family, and social relationships inculcated by the religion ot Israel. We forget perhaps at times the extent to which these ideals of home life and integrity of love relationships are a product of Jewish life and religion. It would be well, in an age when, with idolatrous worship in other forms, there seems so great danger of society’s lapsing into loose and evil practices, if we could revive something of that nobility and purity of life. ” ” #
