for about ten years and have gone
with him OF and on for the last
two years. I know that this boy
thinks Z great deal Of me, although
he has never exactly told me so.
Every action shows that he does.
Everyone knows how he feels
about it and everyone for miles
around looks upon me - his fu-
ture wife. This is very annoying.
Although think more Of this boy
than any have met and value him
% = dear friend. yet do not love
him. For certain reasons ! can
never marry him.
Would you advise me to quit 60
ing with him now, before learn to
love him, or would it be all right
to keep on going with him, al
though I can never marry him?
should hate to deceive him, as he
i too good a boy for that.
How can / get better acquainted
with the boys at school? The girls
all treat me very nice as long al
there are no boys around, but q.
! soon as boys come around they will
,, not speak to me first. l do no
care to go with these boys, but
Just want to be on friendly terms
! with them. DAILY READER
At the age Of II you need no
give up q friend who has not men
toned love simply because you fee
you could never marry him. Do no
assume any deeper Relationship
than that of friendship. When tn
time comes that the boy mention
love. tell him the. truth The trutl
would hurt, of course, but It is hui

appointments and to learn to car
for someone else.

tEounder Of Inter- Church world Novemen3
aad Chairman Federal Council Of
Churchts Of America

Important as the church is, it
cannot alone meet and master the
problem of civilization. 1t needs
the help Of allies. There are three
allies to which it has right to
look for helpful cooperation.
One of these is the state. We do
not believe in America in the union
Of church and state. but we should
labor to promote the most cordial
relations between the two. The
'state can make easy or difficult the
work of the church. It can build
barriers of legal restraint against
the tides OF pleasure and CONNER
cialism that would overflow the
church. A town in which lawless-
ness abounds and the Sabbath is
disregarded is community in
which the church is seriously
handicapped.
Another ally is the school. The
school can do some things the
church cannot do. But the school

According to Greek mythology,
