People Shall he Enriched
Teachers, parents shall we now
resolve to put ourselves into the en-
richment of the social life OF our
Young people? Parents it is our
heart blood that warns and feeds
and makes precious our Offspring.
Teachers, worthy the name, we hail

iors, God himself can not fit our
young people for society without the
help of his two schools of flesh and
blood angels-the one with the
beaming faces of motherly women,
the other with the bewhiskered faces
Of Iatherly men Luther held that
the glory of woman was in her hair.
Alas, he never saw q woman with
the hair of an ultra twentieth CEN
tury coiffure, else he might have
chosen to have given the glory to
an angel with whiskers. Fathers,
mothers, educators, God needs us
all and we must all work together
FOR the Christian nurture of our
youth.
Some of us have found great de-
light in working with well organized

The program for the evening dealt
with Home Missions, the need for

minds of all there In a most con-
crete way through talk sjvcn by
the Rev. Burger. who spoke ON the
BLACK Belt Of the South,
This gentleman had spent his
entire life in the south. where the
negro population outnumbered the
white population ten to one. He
spoke most convincingly Of condi-
tions existing there, which were
narrowing in the extreme and he
succeeded in arrestine the attention
and arousing the interest of all
