THIS TOWN FOUND A WAY
TO HOLD IT'S CITIZENS.
Most Small Towns Lose Their Young
Men; Here is One That Kept Them

The reason small towns never be-
come big towns is tied up with the
desertion of the young men who go
to the cities to make their way. Mil
ford, New Hampshire, decided to put
a stop to this, and the November
American Magazine tells how it was
done. The writer says:
"Most communities of less than fiji
teen thousand inhabitants suffer a
constant loss of their best blood in
the emigration of their young people.
This is particularly true in the older
states east of the Mississippi. With
the exception of the favored few
whose families have wealth or own
some established enterprise, the young
woman of the smaller town, after
completing their education, seek the
larger cities, or newer states, or even
foreign countries. This exodus is
looked upon almost as a law of ma
ture-as inevitable as the swing of
the seasons.
"Thus are our smaller communities
Slapped. The educated, enterprising
Young men go; the young women of
their type, left behind, frequently re-
fuse to mate with the only men avail
able-indeed, often have no men of
any sort to choose. This situation has
formed the basis of many stories and
one of the most popular plays of the
present decade.
"But the thriving town of Milford,
New Hampshire, believes that its en-
terprising and able young folk do not
have to be transplanted in order to
succeed. 1t declares that if the indi-
vidual endowed with ability to create
a business in Montana or Mexico will
only exercise the same serious study
of conditions right at home, he will
have an easier path and a surer re-
ward. A short time ago, the citizens
of Milford decided to stop the emf
grafton of its young.
LET US ask all the Milford boys
and girls about to finish school what
they propose to do, suggested P. R.
Woodman, of the Milford Board of
Trade, and let US counsel with them
to see if they cannot do it, or some
thing equally as advantageous, here
in Milford"

Faith VS.. Condemnation.

The ceremonial cleanness or unclean-
ness of food is nothing to the Chris
tan. who is free from all but the Law
of Love. But this Divine Law con
trolls. and forbids us to stumble or even
to grieve a brother less well-informed
than ourselves. How could one con-
trolled by love either eat, drink or
speak in a ann that would injure
another? 1t is good to have liberty
but let us use it SO as not to injure
those less advanced than ourselves.
The Gospel Call is to joint-heirship
with Christ in His Millennial King
dom. But shall we say that the ad.
vantage of our relationship to the Lord
consists chiefly in the liberty to eat and
drink what we please? Surely nat,

though we may properly enough draw
conclusions. First of all, we must
take the lesson provided for US as we
find it. Today's Study is a part of
the Apostles discussion of law and
liberty, custom and conscience, on
questions prominent at the time of
writing. With his accustomed vigor
st. Paul is marking out the path of
proper Christian conduct, in harmony
with the second great commandment
of the Divine Law-"Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as myself"
Those who during the Gospel Age
make a full surrender of their wills to
the Lord and receive In return the be-
getting of the Holy Spirit are Scrip
turally termed New Creatures in
Christ. e Corinthians $40 Their
wills are subjected to the Divine will.
The lessons Of Gods Word and all of
life's experiences under Divine provi-
sion are promised to work for their
good-to strengthen their wills If too
weak, TO make their wills properly
pliable If too rigid, and eventually to
make of them the most that is possible
in the present life and to prepare them
for the life to come.
Such are addressed by st. Paul in
today's Study. They are exhorted not
to judge the brethren in the sense of
e~ondemning them, but rather to judge
themselves, criticize themselves, thus
to make of themselves shining exam
pies for others to copy. Sooner or lat
er all must give an account to the
Lord. Therefore our judging of 9th
ers is unnecessary. Hence if in the
past we have judged. criticized. others.
We should avoid so doing in the future
and should criticize only ourselves

had many admirers. Indeed, not a girl
In the village was so sought after.
However. she only cared for Bertold,

she was Of him they decided to marry
