lone will be truest to the league
when most willing to occupy any posi-
ton in Christian service regardless of
the department of church activity in
which the work is to be done. Any
other principal of conduct is demean-
ing to the Individual and does the
church, which is the noble mother of
our society, an irreparable injury. If
perchance any one of us has had a
view so circumscribed let him cast it
away and follow the diviner CLEAN of
Him, who by His vision, became the
first cosmopolite and Elder Brother of
the world.
When Jesus had translated his vision
into terms of life it was found to con-
tain solace for the worlds sorrow and
solven. for the worlds sin. The
young Christian we believe may have
similar visions, but what power shall
avail as sufflciency dynamic TO send
him forth. There is a spiritual gravi-
tation which draws humanity to the
heart of God. This spiritual pull is the
power of love and when there is ex-
| cTtcu upon any lIt, pdtiSlitly 'uI PSA
sistentIy, the double pull of the love of
God and the unselfsh love of one of
Gods visions seeing children. Sooner
or later the life will lift in response to
this upward influence. No new gospel
is needed.
Greetings from the Central District
League were presented by President
Ralph Haywood of that organization.
Former state President Grin 3. Frost

every chance of bearing on the honors.
 But the hoop race was on. Christine gritted her teeth. Swiftly she flew along the course, spinning her dainty hoop with an energy that soon brought her directly in line with the foremost girl. But try as she would she could not forge ahead of her rival. Suddenly the other girl slightly turned her head to note Christine's progress. the hoop was sent on a false spin to the right, and Christine in a breathless spurt reached the goaI--the winneri And cster the cheering for her plucky fight had sub sided. she was presented with splendid diaboio set!
 Monsieur Dunois was so proud of his little daughters achievement that he finally consented to permit Frederic to use the diabolo set. This event, as had been expected by the other contestants, was captured by Frederic. who went into the contest determined to do his best, as much to show his appreciation of christine's generosity as for any other reason.
 Tn all the jubiiation which followed. however, Frederic did not lose sight of the lesson SO painfully taught him. And although he is still careless and de- struotive with his toys at times. he now tries his level best to correct the fault, so that no one has any longer great cause for complaint.
