Ideal Vacation For ChristIans,

The ideal vacation for ordinary sensible
Christian men and women will be char
acterizcd by moderation, common sense
and regard for others. 1t will seek to
provide the greatest good, rather than
the greatest amount Of fun. 1t will make
it emphatic that vacation is u means
to an end and not the chief end of man
and woman. 1t will bring man home to
his regular duties, not only more sun
burned as to check and calolIscd as to
hand, but SUMNER as to heart, happier as
to mind and better prepared for the work
to which God has called him.-Baptist
