may desire to gain a promotion: to those
who, while not technically backward, may
be aided by some additional instruction and
to those "who wish to be proftably en-
ployed."
If the last named group is perhaps a bit
imaginary, there are valid reasons for open
ing the schools for the others. The cur

will be permitted to take more than two
subjects. The sessions will be from 8 40

Something to Think About
BuF. A DALKER

heart filed with a struggling radi-
ancy of faith, sustained by qualities
which only faith can give us, we
can do it, and reach the state of
tranquil content which comes quiet
ly to the earnest and sincere, like
the sunshine of morning after a night
Of storm.
We may clap our hands to the
heights but we cannot reach them
except by our own unceasing en-
deavor.
We must expect tired, bruised feet,
we must anticipate slips and falls and
a sickening sense Of our own In
flrmities, but we must keep climbing
keep holding fast all the while to the
hand of shining-eyed Faith, who, In
spite of our unworthiness, will lead
US hour by hour to higher ground.
There are many ways in which we
may help ourselves, but not until
our hearts have been properly att1ned
to the dominant key and kept In
tune.
/ Hard work, high thinking and a
charitable attitude towards others will
be found helpful attendants, for with

however accomplished or exalted, can
hope to emerge from the shadows and
write an acceptable record Of we'll

The Friendly Path
b. WALTER /. ROBINSON
SIN AND CITIES

MONT blame sin on the cities.
- No community is ever better
than the people within 1t. II the peo.
pie are honest, God-fearing, law-abid-
ing and live up to the teachings Of
their churches, regardless Of denomi-
nation, they'll find little cause for COM
plant no matter where they live. But
when they know what is right and
don't do 1t or don't insist on others
following the best pathway, they are
likely to be disgruntled with condi-
lions which they bring upon them
selves.
We know great deal about most Of
the big cities, but we know just as
much Of the small towns and open
country and proportionately, we be-
lieve, there is no difference In the
volume of wrong doing. And we con-
fidently believe that If people hailing
from the small towns and country
would be as devout to the cause Of
right as they claim to be when they
come into large communities, the
blotches on cities regulations would
be much fewer than they are.
It is true that there are many more
amusements and inducements in big
towns which are likely to divert new
Corners attention from church work
and home life. But none Of these will
lead people from the proper pathway
unless they are willing to be led. Even,
commercialized amusements on the
Sabbath will have no harmful effects
On those who know they are wrong. III
they wish conscientiously to follow
the safe pathway.
Remove from every big city the sin
ners who rush In from small places
for hiding and the police and uplift'
workers would find little work neces-
sary in order to preserve the stand

are SO greatly to be desired.
