TOO VALUABLE 10 DISCARD

pretty young Artist to the Business

"And the results were most pleasing
Gracious" said the Business Wom-
an, Il thought you told me last year
it was positively your last; mine come
and go, and I've gotten to that stage
where L really am in ignorance of the
date"
Il had planned to let November 20
pass and not even think of it. But 1
suddenly realized I needed so many
things, like handkerchiefs, hose,
gloves, etc-things that somehow go
with birthdays. I had an Inspiration
n lovely, practical one. I'm the young

Returning from France, Reverend
Blackman resumed his pulpit in
Chanute, Kan. One of his first acts
was to attend public dance. He
didn't dance. but thoroughly enjoyed
the fun. a protest came from his con
gregatiOn and he resigned. His resig-
nation wasn't accepted.
Then he began doing other things.
He rugged up gymnasium in the
basement of his church and gave box
ing lessons to the boys of the Sunday
school. The church liked it.
Reverend Blackman refused offers
from larger churches to stay with his
pastorate in Chanute His view of
Sunday blue laws is characteristic
ITO my mind the advocacy of such
laws only serves to cheaper religion in
the minds of the masses and tends to
push it back into the superstitions OF
the past What is rest and relaxation

That Say and Do Not.

New Orleans Christian Adrocdte.l
We read recently that famous will
expert died not long ago in Chicago
without having made a will himself !!
The making of wills had been his spe-
cialty in the practice of law. and he
had served his clients faithfully: but
he came to his own death without hav-
ing done what he had always insisted
every good business man ought to do.
That is strange-and yet it is not
strange. All about us are people who
make profession the zenith and prac-
tice the nadir of their lives-the two
are just as far apart as they can be.
The world has not very much conf
dence in. even if it has respect for,
those that say and do not. What you
are speaks SO loud I cannot hear what
you say" is one Of the keenest COM
ments we have ever heard upon the
necessity of consistency between saying
and doing. Our neighbors watch us
much more intently than they listen to
us-and they are much more likely to
do as we do than to do as we say. In
this matter of consistency we have to
be careful, too. for ourselves as well as
for others. The great Apostle himself
must have had this in mind when he
said: But keep under my body, and
bring it into subjectiOn: lest that by
any means, when / have preached to
others, | myself should be a castaway.
