which would seem to indicate that they
have not been perfectly successful.
We were told once that there could
never be another great war In the
world but in 1914 came the greatest
war the world has ever known As
soon as the armistiee was signed
problems came up that have not yet
been solved. The League of Nations
which II was hoped might bring order
out Of chaos, has been pigeon -holed
somewhere between the national capt
tol and the White House. II you are
going to raise the question OF whether
civilization has failed or not. you must
be prepared to show whether or not
the home. the school the church. the
business and the state-the principal
things in civilization-have failed
either here or abroad. If they have
failed in the past to do what has been
thrust upon them, is civilization now
big enough and strong enough to
handle the problems of the present
failure in the world? Not II they have
been properly prepared by the schools
for what they are to do.
II - upA question pl WHtNhtF CIV
ilization has failed in the past but
whether 1t is going to fail before the
problems of the present Has this
church or any church failed? No one
can say that they have done all that
they could do, but no one probably
would say that they have failed either.
What we want to know is IL they are
big enough and broad enough to tackle
the job which is now confronting them.
The boy finds that his success in the
future depends upon the training he
receives in his youth. Ancient coun-
triescame up and lived in little circle.
even Rome and Greece moved in their
day in comparatively little circles, but
the civilization of this day is different
The hope of the world depends on
what you and 1 represent in the home,
the church, and business. Our civiliZa-
tion goes beyond our own borders into
foreign fields and therefore we should
apply to the churches some of the prin-
ciples that are applied to the schools.
Do you want your schools to remain
static or are you making wise pro-
visions as to what those schools shall
be in ten or twenty years?

And church, her energy revealed
And whose undaunted spirit shone
Through phrase and manner all her

"Fust-rate and very thankful"
OF all the echoes from her days
Most clearly rings that homely phrase

When she was hailed with How dye

From friend or neighbor passing by,
Unfailing was her quaint reply,

No doleful tales had she to tell,
No martyrs murmur Pretty Welt"
Not she! Her happy chronic state
With JUNCTION she announced "Fust-

And with an emphasis as glad
Her grateful word would always add.
"Fust-rate and very thankful"
AS light survives the set of sun
Her bright and CHEEKY word lives on,
happy influence that spurs.

And when friends greet us day by day,

 Always plan to serve an acid fruit when fish is ordered for breakfast, the grapefruit cuts the fat of the mackerel and gives the tartness fish need. The potatoes should be cold boiled sliced thin and fried q light straw color with a few tablespoons of cream added , minutes before re- moving from the fire.
