Speaking last Sunday morning on the
subject, "What is Man?" Mr.. Baker
noted the answers given to the question
by students in the various realms of
thought The naturalist, the biologist,
the chemist, the pessimist, each gives
his answer. They unfold much of the
mystery which surrounds man but too
often they fail to consider the all-im-
portant thing. They make the frame
and canvas for us, but they neglect to
paint the picture, they prepare the nest,
but leave out the sweet voiced bird. We
owe them our thanks for what they have
done, but when they fail to satisfy us,

The basket ball game between P. A.
and Stowe High School at the local
gymnasium last Thursday evening, as
predicted, was a contest from start to
finish and while p A. led at all stages OF
the game, there was no time when the
the local FIVE were in a position to try
out any of their substitutes. 1t was a
clean, fast game and there was notably
a good feeling shown by both teams.
The greatest advantage gained by P. A.
was due TO superior team work, their
passing and signal work being about
the best ever seen in the hall. A large
number of loyal rooters were present
from Stowe and the total attendance
was $50.

the game. A large number from each
school got together and had a general
good time. They started the ball roll
ing by presenting farce entitled "Three
of Kind" AT the close of this, Principal
Reynolds gave few words of welcome,
which were well responded to by Princi-
pal English. Dancing and refreshments
completed the evening of fun.

Church Advertising

Readers of the Indianapolis papers have
doubtless noticed during the past few months
the very attractive display ads published by the
indianapolis Federation of Churches. These ad-
vertisements were tasteful attractive and writ
ten in moderation but with firm and convinc-
ing style. The experiment has proved successful,
according to the pragmatic test, and church ad-
vertising has been accepted as settled policy
in the Indiana metropolis.
This is undoubtedly sign of the times. Ad-
Nertising is one kind of news. People like to
hear about the things that are going on about
them and what people of note are doing in other
places. But they like quite as much to hear the
news about the things that are being offered for
sale that people buying and using. Re-
searches nave proved over and over again that
no section of newspaper or magazine is more
carefully or universally read than the advertis-
ing pages.
Church advertising is dignified it is fitting,
it is in keeping with the principles and the spirit
of Christianity, and it reveals good judgment.
There is no more reason why church should not
