has a large amount of natural re-
sources which only need developing

one"
When asked regarding the reports
which have filtered through official
circles regarding the lack of initia-
tive on the part or the Georgians,
together with statements that the
Armenians are better fitted to rule
the country, Beridze said:
That is absolutely untrue. The
Georgians are as energetic as any
race. but 1t must be remembered
that UP to two years ago they had
no chance given them to develop or
advance. Now that we are to have
schools and an equal chance with
other nations to advance along the
path of progress In peace and Sc
curity, we will soon show the world
what we are capable Of. Edo not
think we would ever submit to Az

we can continue to work together

fit of all"

and tomorrow and then prolong the
period of play n bit. This will do more
for you than anything else"
Or. II. F. Kallenberg, chief of Y. NJ.
G. A. physical directors in the central
military department, with headquar-
ters in Chicago, is receiving word al
most daily that the latest method Of
treating wounded men in government
hospitals in such cases as demand ex-
erclse Of joints, fingers, wrists, legs or
arms, Is doing wonders for the SOL
diers. They not only are throwing off
their ailments but are taking on cheer
fulnPss and q new interest in life, he
declares. The treatment Is new In
that medical men examine each case
and prescribe certain games to fit the
needs of that case. No playing at
games requiring exercise of muscles or
joints Is done save under the direct SUI
pervisiOn of a medical officer, Doctor

individual and united prayer,
regular Bible end mission study,
systematic and proportionate CIV
Ing, and organized personal serv-
Ice. Grateful to God for His mani

In the program Of personal serv-
ice for this year the women adopted
tie following resolution:
% That we continue organized ef-
fort to reach the oppressed and un-
saved in our immediate localities.
That to this end we study the state
and federal statutes relating to
health, employment of women and
children, and general public well
fare. reporting lack of enforcement
to the proper authorities. That we
study the policies and methods Of
missionary and social service or
CARNATIONS, adapting those best
suited to our aim of preventing and
eradicating community evils and
making known the power Of God
unto salvation. That we strive to
meet the needs OF our soldiers, to
pray for them, and continue to help
the Red Cross and our own denom-
national agencies in efforts to re-
habilitate the war, stricken coun-
tries of Europe.
That we bend every effort to
promote food conservation, and to
raise the standard of health in our
communities. That in cities of

maintain Good Will Centers or a
