South Carolina Methodists are es-
pecially interested in the Christian
education movement because seven
schools and colleges OF the Southern
Methodist church are located IN the
State, and their future growth and
influence are largely linked vita tho
success Of the movement.
Leaders Of the church recognize
that the Christian education Of he
young people cannot be accomplished
by building great schools. The very
roots OF Christian education, as they
view the situation, are in the hom I,
and the church. The individual, the
family, and the home and the church
are a part Of the sum total OF Chris
tian education as represented in the
aim and scope Of the movement the
church is now undertaking.
Five major detectives will be en-
ph9oihSu tliio Suu-
cate the people to the imperative
need Of Christian education: to pro-
mote the cause by establishing strsng
departments OF religious education
in the colleges and universities Of
the church. and by effecting closer
cooperation between the higher in
stitutions Of learning and tho Sum
day school; to Impress young peo-
pie with the attractiveness OF the
ministry. the mission field and the
lay activities of the church as a life
work: to aid worthy students train
ing for the work Of the church to
obtain the necessary education, and
to provide adequate means for the
support and extension of the Metho-
dist higher institutions Of learning;
and. finally. to deepen the moral and
spiritual life OF the people and win
their enthusiastic support in attain
ing the objectives Of the movement.

LONG EYELAsHES

1t is an axiom that long eyelashes
will make any eye beautiful. Every
one knows that. But everyone does
not know how to make the lashes grow
long and silky and rich in color
To be effective, eyelashes need not
necessary be dark Some blondes
have black lashes, striking combina-
ton, but not always a beautiful one.
Deep brown or light brown lashes with
blonde hair are often a better frame
for gray or light blue eyes. The color
is not as important as lustre, thick
ness and length.
The first step in making the lashes
beautiful involves a sacrifice. 1t means
cutting the lashes shorter, and it will
take many weeks for them to grow out
to their full length again. But the
results are quite worth the temporary
cutting
Use manicure scissors with curved
points, these are safest because the
points can be turned from the eye.
Clip off the ends of the Iashes only
you need not take off great deal.
Then rub with oil or a special eyelash
tonic. Don't use vaseline, that is no
good at all.
Then use the tonic or oil every day.
1t will stimulate a new growth and
tend to make the original hairs longer.
1t will also give lustre and color to the
lashes, which counts immensely in I'M
proving the beauty of the eye.
