This sensitiveness to things beau
tiful and of good report is a product of
the intellectual life, its standards and
its self-criticism. 1t presupposes in
the population an admiration for in
tellect, respect for it and Difference
to it. In these matters France is pre-
eminent among the civilizations of
the world. This is why we look to her
for standards of taste and criticism,
knowing that we may expect of her
undying fidelity to them in an age
which cares overmuch for excitements
and sensations.

The American and the Americanism
that so far we have described are
practical and moral, and so far good
but the actual American as we know
him does not stop here. The actual
American as we know him and, as
Kipling with penetrating insight saw
and portrayed him, is creature of
startling contrasts. In one breath he
glories in his practically and in
another in what he is pleased to regard
as his idealsm.
Now it is precisely this idealism of
the American that should be scrutin-
lied and analysed when we undertake
to say what Americanism we want.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR
Make This Beauty Lotion for Few
Cents and See for Yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
juice alone is acid, therefore irritat-
ing, and should be mixed with orch
ard white this way. Strain through
a fine cloth the juice of two fresh
lemons into bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then shake well and you have a
whole quarter pint of skin and COM
plaxions lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice SO no pulp gets into
the bottle, then this lotion will re-
main pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help TO
bleach, clear, smoother and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very lit
tie cost and the grocer has the lem
ons.-AdV.

versity:
"If for any reason we permit our
selves to dwell either intellectually
or morally on lower plane than the
very highest nature and our environ
ments have made possible we live the
lower life"
Now, let me quote little further
from Prof. Harper:
"Religion is essential for the full
est development of the higher life"
christianity is the most perfect
form of religion"
So then to live the highest life one
must be a Christian, and as | have
pointed out in the Sunday School les
son above, to be Christian is to be
Christ-like. That is to endeavor to
make our lives like the life of Christ.
And so we come to the conclusion
Immediately that the ONE thing we
need is Christ or Christianity. We
need the Christian religion for two
things:
/. For guidance. We need some
thing more than human hand to
guide us in our lives. We know not
when we may make a mistake and
we need the guiding hand of the
Father to lead US Alright.
2. And then we need the teach
ings of the New Testament as basis
for our lives. The very first thing
we read in the New Testament, as
message to the people, is repent, and
the word repent means to change
ones mind And when Jesus began
to exhort the people to repent He
meant that they should change their
minds from an attitude of righteous
ness. In other words quit worship
ing beasts, money, ETC., and turn to
the living God, the loving Heavenly
Father.

RELIGIOUS DEPARTMENT.
Edited by j. w. Boggs
of New Orleans

Sunday School lesson for April 13,
1919. Subject: Christ, the Worlds
Redeemer''-John 1:35-41.
Golden Text: God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten
Son that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish but have eternal
life"
The subject of this lesson gives US
much food for thought. That the
world cannot be redeemed except
through Christ is a known fact. I'm
til men become Christ-like, which is
indeed the meaning of the word
Christian" We cannot hope to have
a lasting peace ON earth. AS long
as mems hearts are wrong the Wol Id
will be wrong. When Christ came
to earth He did not begin to make
reforms, but struck Immediately at
The human heart.
In our lesson today and in fact
all through the gospels, we find that
Christ spends practically all His time
in personal work. First he deals
with Andrew and John, and next
with Simon Peter. On the next day
Jesus finds Philip and deals with him
personally. The significance Of all
this is that He is endeavoring to
reach mems lives and help each man
individually. We know that he was
not contented with many things as
Trey were in Palentine, but His pur-
pose was to strike the human heart,
and thus overthrow the evils as they
existed and still exist.
While | think one of the greatest
blessings that have come to America
during the last few years is the
overthrow of the liquor traffic, yet ii
we could get all the men to accept
Christ as their own personal Savior
we would not need prohibition laws.
