1t was the theory of young Van Zandt
that in order to fully understand the
characters and ideals of those among
whom he expects to labor as a mis-
sionary he should work and associate
with them daily.
Meanwhile he is washing pots and
pans and carrying in the coal.
AS the son of bank presid and
student at the University of Chicago
he didn't think he could feel Just the
way scavenger feels, so he decided
to become a scullion in order to get

1t also occurred to him that IL he
was going to become a missionary it

How many OF us in listening to the

Being bank presidents son, he nat

1t came time for dinner. after he had
turned the ice cream freezer, thrown
out the garbage, cleaned up the pots
and pans, fixed the fires, and scrubbed
the grease up from the floor where
the cook had let it spill over. he
cleaned himself up. put on his coat,
and went into the dining-room to eat
dinner with his family and the other
guests.
There are always snobs in the
world, and there are some at this club
Philip had been there a week, every
one in the club knew about him. and
they knew. too. that his father, George
Van Zandt. president of the Prairie
State bank, was a guest at the club
yet just because this young man had
chosen to work out his ideals in the
preparation for his service in the
Christian ministry in his own way
by accepting menial position and do
ing the work of the scullery. these
snobs objected to his presence in
the dining-room, and were so rude
about 1t that he was obliged to with

Something happened later, how
ever, which went far towards restor-
ing his belief in the humanity of the
majority of mankind, and also taught
a lesson to the snobs. but that will

Boys Brought Up to Work.
When the school year ended at the
University of Chicago young Van
Zandt began looking around for some
useful occupation for the summer. His
father, despite the high position he
holds in society, has brought his six
sons up to become useful citizens. He
believes in work, and he has told his
boys that he is willing to give them
all the education they have capacity
for. but they must work during the
summer vacations.

through the employment agency of the
university, SO he went to see about
it.

summer. 1t will help me in my future
work in the ministry" he said to the
man who employed him.

all sorts of characters at Lake Ge-
