he that gives himself in loving

the greatest, but il is also the

enables him To- say. This one thing

each person tends to become a
unity. We are innately endowed
with tendency which causes us to
do one thing. Whether that one
thing be- god or bad is the real
question Of character. This adj
dress was at once helpful, instruc-
tive and inspiring.

his medical course.
At Mt. Zion in Laurel County over
a thousand people gathered October

OF years gone by: to look into the
eyes and clasp the hand OF class
mates they had not seen for years.
PUPILS returned from the neighbOr-
ing states Of Illinois and Virginia.
II was indeed interesting TO see the
changes that had taken place. These
green little boys and girls had
grown up-all the heads of families,
and a great many showed they had
been busy acquiring useful knowl-
edge as well as material good.
The whole neighbOrhOod joined
in hearty response TO the celebra-
ton. Speeches and music were the
order Of the day.
Among those of special mention
was the welcome address by Fred
Cornelius; a talk by their former
teacher. DR.. Cornelius; and one OF
the pupils. Brooks Williams mot
seen by the teacher since a lad of
49, but one OF those of whom Gar

has buttoned under his coat?" One
OF the best speeches he had heard
in many moons was given by this

DIR. M0sSMAN WRITES

IL am very much absorbed i'm my
new work in the u. s. Public Health
Service. As you doubtless know,
am connected with the campaign for
preventing the spread of Trachoma.
Incidentally, we find opportunity TO
do great deal Of educative work in
matters Of general sanitary impor-
lance. For instance, we administer
ed to two children, aged eight and
nine respectively, the first all-over
bath Of their sweet young lives, and
there was born in them the desire
for a repetition and hope that they
could do that when they got home.
| believe that new era in those
children's lives began when we
caused them to be dissatisfied with
lncleanness.
I'VE do a good deal Of what we
call at Berea extension work" but is
called here district work" I spent
four days Of last week on horseback,
doing work Of this kind, examining
school children and giving directions
as to needed treatment for prevent
Ing spread of the disease. We find
il most profitable To work thru the
children, who are receptive Of new
ideas.
Mrs. MOssman and the baby are
we'll and happy. We send our best
wishes to ALL"
Yours sincerely,

Y. N. C. A.

The meeting Of the Young Mems
Christian Association Sunday night
was led by Professor Hill Of George
town College. After rousing prayer
and song service the leader spoke
briefly on College Life. a Synonym
for Service" in which he maintained
that the four years spent in college
are the ones most fraught with OPP
portunities for doing good to our
fcllOwmen. He told Of numerous
ways in which students and faculty
members may aid each other, EN-
phasi2ing especially the large num-
Der Of new students who do not get
started right in college because the
older students do not do their duty.
Professor Hill is a man whom all
Bcreans who know him have learned
to love, and they always expect a
great message when he speaks. His
hearers were not disappointed Sun
day night. After a clear and concise
presentation Of the theme. the leader
called for personal testimony from
the members concerning how they
had been helped by other students
or faculty members. The response
was hearty and inspiring. Several
gave great plans which they want TO
put into operation in the Young
Mems Christian association this
year. The meeting was one which
will not soon be forgotten by those
who were present.
In the business session the MEM
bership chairman had one hundred
names a. propose for membership.
This was an inspiration TO the work
ers Of the Y. NJ. C.. A. There is M
fee for membership this year and
every man who has no other engage
ment at 6:i5 on Sunday evenings
should join. The card is honored
in the United States. Have
you joined? II not, you are missing
many rare treats In the fellowship
Of the Y. VI. G.. A.

THE NEWSPAPER IN THE HOME

There are homes in which there is
no newspaper.
There are homes in which there
is a no-account newspaper.
There are homes in which there
is bad newspaper.
And there are homes in which
there is a good newspaper.
And you can soon tell the differ
ence in the children Of those homes.
Where there il no newspaper. or
only a no-account newspaper. the
whole family seems asleep. They
do not know what is going on in
the world. They only hear what
their neighbors tell them. The
children learn a little at school and
then forget IL. Other homes are
frightened by news, new inventions,
higher pleasures. but the home
without a newspaper is asleep.
The home with bad newspaper
is stirred up in the wrong way. The
children read OF vice and crime. The
mother is set agog for town flnery
and discouraged in her home duties.
The father is filled with prejudices
and false notions. The home is
poisoned.
The home with a good newspaper
has schoolhouse and a church
house and an entertainment hall by
its own Preside every week.

IF I KNEW

If knew the box where smiles
are kept,
No matter how large the key,
Or strong the bolt, I would try so
hard
Twould open, I know, for me.
Then over the land and sea broad
cast,
I'd scatter the smiles to play,
That the children's faces might hold
them fast,
For many and many day.
II I knew the box that was large
enough
To hold all the frowns I meet,
would try to gather them, every
one
From nursery, school and street.
Then folding and holding, I'd pack
them in,
And turn the monster key;
I'd hire a giant to drop the box
To the depths of the deep, deep
The Keystone.
