STANDARDS OF LIFE.

What is the standard OF civilization? What
is the personal standard of necessity? Does the
thing call civilization receive its measurement
by reason of increased interest in heart in con-
science or in culture. or is it measured by the
average desires of all people?
Among the students of social Improvement DR..
Edward T. Devine of New York is known as a
leader. He brings a wide experience to the work
of training social workers and has studied deeply
and nteiligently into the real meaning of things
that affect our manner Of life
THE primary problem in social improvement"
says DR.. Devine, lis elevate the standard of
living What we call the standard of living is
deeply grounded a persons life; is much more
than mere superficial display of wealth or refine

tickets or good books imrly that the stan
dard of living Of that person includes these things
one must be willing actually sacrifice in order TO
satisfy a desire before the thing desired becomes
part OF the personality. A high standard Of living
means the possession of ability discriminate be-
tween good and bad and TO prefer the good"
He is putting into words that relate TO his work
a very old old truth. The only things we own are
the things we earn. whether It be money. a home
or the enjoyment of ea hour The idle the lazy
and the ignorant get nothing from life because they
put nothing into life. The ambitious. the indus

by the number Of those who have found the truth
of this fundamental law which rules The universe

The greatest line in the Bible is this: For God

Christ ever pretended TO teach or 10 leave in this
world was the religion Of love Love they neghbor

ever known it. That was the reason why He boldly
made His statements. He knew that human nature
was wrapped in sefshness. Lo-e-serve-sell all

Love has never once lifted its hand to harm or

What hungry world anyway. How It rustles
