NEWS AND NOTES

Do you know that we claim the
largest gymnasium business mems
class in the state? 1t has recently
grown to" such proportion that the
class had to be divided; one section
meeting Monday and Thursday eve
nings from Sis to $50, the other
meeting Tuesdays and Fridays at the
same time. This change was made in
order that the men might get more
individual exercise, especially in the
games. This class also has as many
as four first-c1ass volley ball teams,
and tho team captained by c. Nielsen
has met all Corners to date, including
Newark and Montclair, and has not
been defeated.
There are thirty-nine busy business
men enrolled in these classes who
come regularly for this reereative
work, and for the benefits derived
from regular attendance we would re-
fer you to any one of these men.
We claim that it Is better to take
a little time off twice week and keep
well the year around than to spend
six weeks or so in the hospital or at
home recovering from some sickness
which could have been prevented II
you had been physically fit. A word
to the wise is sufficient.

Reflections
By Vim. II. Basvden

lost means Is both material and spirit
ual. Since in human beings the per-
sonal Is always moro important than
the mere physical, whatever view we
may hold of the relation of the two,
the spiritual loss will be generally
conceded to be much greater than the
material. 1t is possible, therefore, for
us to use such circumstances as IL
Illustrative of an extended meaning to
the word lost.
The story of the prodigal son, which
Is at the same time the story of the
fathers love, gives US a similar mean
ing to this extended use Of the term.
The younger son, who went forth
from the home and spent his sub
stance in riotous living, was said to be
lost, because his normal, customary
life was interrupted. His father said
that he had been found when he re-
| turned and this customary, normal
life was resumed.
We may hold various ideas concern
ing the future life. picturing 1t to our
selves after one fashion or another
, But whatever our imagination may
bring before us in mind, this much is
true. Our normal spiritual life be-
,, comes interrupted when he are lost
Whatever plan the Almighty may
have for any individual life, whenever
he misses the mark and thus becomes
lost, he misses the normal, spiritua
activities planned for him of God
| Whatever this may involve in detail
and on this we may not be agreed, Sc
much we can agree upon. So far
| therefore. as men can agree on some
| of the fundamentals of life, being
lost is a terrible reality.

There is an economy that saves at

is no economy at all To walk mile

men and boys in the big city dashing
in front of autos, lodging trolley cars
and taking desperate chances with
their lives to save a few moments'
time, and then stop for ten or fifteen
minutes to watch some gentleman In
a window advertising corn cure. Be
consistent!

hDSI.
Not so long ago 1t was Dorothy
Arnold. Now 1t Is Ruth Cruger. If
they were isolated cases it would be
bad enough. But the police of New
York city report that annually from
1000 to 1900 girls disappear in that
great, seething center Of human activ-
ity. During 1914 there were more
than 1000 men. women and girls re-
ported missing, of whom more than
5000 were subsequently found and re-
turned to their homes. The year fol-
lowing, women and girls to the num-
Der of nearly 1900 were reported as
missing. of whom more than 1900
have since been accounted for.
But that leaves more than 200 wo-
men and girls reported as lost in the
course of one year, of whom no trace
has afterward been found. That is en-
tirely too large a number to be COM
placent about, discount it as you will
for one reason or another.
What does thus being lost involve ?
Wholly apart from what Is startling in
connection Herewith, such as murder
or outrage, which may or may not be
a result, every such disappearance
means that the customary. normal &C
tivities of the person have been stop
ped, either temporarily or permanent
ly. In other words, whatever plans
for life that person may have had, or
someone else may have had in mind
for her all these have been frustrated
Unless the person is found, unless
there Is a restoration, life will have
to be commenced all over again If, In
deed, such Is possible at all.
