Governor Addresses
Graduates of New
York Bible School

New York, May 30. = Governor
Martin G. Brumbaugh delivered the
commencement address to thirty
seven young men and women who
graduated from the Bible Teachers
Training School, Sal Lexington
graduates represented fourteen states
and two foreign countries, China
and Korea. The exercises were
held in the Central Presbyterian
Church. The Governor said in part:
Our origin, destiny, and duty are
the three great questions. We will
speak of the third. What is our
duty? l will mention but three things
which l think are greatest in the line
of duty for every man to-day: (1)
Live with your fellowman in kindly
good will. Because one great nation
wills hate, and not good, to others,
the whole world is in the throes of
war to-day, and that is why that ma
ton must be defeated. Its attitude
to mankind is against the will and
purpose of Almighty God. CD Be
dependable-be reliable. The only
life that counts is the one that does
not know how to compromise with
sin or temporize with evil. ca No
matter how much you know, live in
the consciousness that you do not
know everything. No mans citizen
ship is complete, dependable, or
worth while unless it is stepped in
humility and dependence upon AL
mighty God. When the war Is over,
there will be needed as never before
trained, consecrated men. A nation
that forgets its God shall perish"

Warren was beaming at the cor

he drew long puffs from his after

of Warren to do anything of the
kind for Carrie. Why, Carrie hardly
ever remembered them with any

always simple. Helen's mind travel
led back to her own birthday last
year. Warren had given her a hand

chase it. There had been no generous

six ninety-five, three dollars less

necessary to expend upon his sister.

triumph. She was woman and knew
quite well how she herself would
have felt under the circumstances If
fore she was glorying in the fact
that once more she had triumphed
over Helen in regard to Warrens
attachment to his family.
Helen, with an effort to control
herself, forced a fairly natural and
enthusiastic response. but the spirit
of the day was ruined for her. Once
more the old bitter enmity between
the families were uppermost.

you would make more of an effort

II think it was foolish and eXtrav-

torted, stung to the quick at his un-
reasonable remark.
"of course you do; you don't think

my own family. even if 1 do it with
my own money"
'It was more than you ever paid
for a gift for me-" said Helen. the
tears blurring her eyes so that she
could hardly see the lights of the
little station.
Warren did not respond until the
train had come in and they were
seated in the dusty seat, Helen with
her eyes fixed on the blackness out

marked.

A warm little feeling began to
gather about Helen's heart. Then
he had not done it purposely and
he had thought it enough of mis-
take to confess. How unexpectedly
generous. And under cover of her
cape Helen slid a forgiving hand into
his, where, for once, it was grasped
and held by Warrens strong COM
forting fingers.

She had come in town for the
day, supposedly to enjoy herself, and
she was armed with a long shopping

going to make up her mind which
she wanted, she exclaimed:

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
WHY NOT PLEASE HIM.


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l would like to know If it is
proper to go around with other men
when my sweetheart is in France. My
friends tell me 1 should go out and
have good time. but 1 think If he
is over there fighting that it is only
a small sacrifice for me not to see
other men,.
PUZZLED.
Why not give your soldier boy the
joy of knowing that you are loyal
and devoted and that sacrificing a
few good times for him seems as
nothing to you in comparison to the
splendid sacrifice he is making for
your safety and that of your coun-
try? To cut yourself off from all
pleasure and so to grow morbid and
blue would be foolish, but what 1 sug-
gest is that you go about in groups
or with other girls and that you give
this man your loyalty and permit no
other man to feel that you are ready
to forget your soldier sweetheart for
him. The excitement of fiirtations
and attentions could never make up
for your failing your own ideals and
those of your lad in France.
