heSltatl0n-Wny the WomenS
Clubs and the members of the
Women's Clubs.
The Woman's Club is simple;
the organization which it hap
pened was best adapted for ap-
propriating and applying to the
body polite the new rights and
duties of women as citizens in
this democracy. Our women's
clubs are offering us education
along lines of citizenship. These
classes in citizenship are teach
ing us to be progressive in our
politics. We are studying and
thinking about our government,
studying the organism and
workings of our political parties
studying various politicians
and their tricks and turns.
These classes in citizenship have
made us realize that our children
should be taught citizenship as
a part of their education in the
public schools. The Women's
Clubs in many instances are now
passing their citizenship work
over to new and powerful Or
ganization of women - The
League Of Women Voters. This
group of women along with Club
Women are studying the laws

Picture of an Efficient Woman's
Club"
"One of Ghe most beautiful
pictures of all times is that in
the life of Christ, when at the
age of twelve he left his par
ents on their journey from Jeru-
salem, and was found by them,
after three days of a sorrowing
search, in temple surrounded
by the Wise Men, hearing them
and asking them questions. We
are told that the Wise Men mar
yelled at his answers, and when
his parents asked him why he
had left them, he answered
them, "Wist yet not, that must
be about my Fathers business"
Hoffman's painting of this
scene especially his head Of
Christ cut out of the whole
showing Christ's countenance as
he was in the midst of the Wise
Men discussing his Fathers
business is probably one of the
most popular Of classic paint
ings in our homes today. Christ
announced there on that day
then the freedom of the indi-
vidual to live it's full life, natur-
ally and attend to His Fathers
business without guile or eX.
cuse. He announced it not sim
ply for himself but he announced
it for all of us-because he said
II and the Father are one anc
We are my brethren"
This freedom of the individual
to exercise all the faculties ant
qualities of character has at las
developed into the Christian
democracy that we know toda.
and although it is a far cry bacl
to Christ at the age of IL in tn
temple with the Wise Me-
through the Dark Ages and tn
days of feudalism and monarch
les, yet today we have finall
realized the full meaning Q
Christian democrary-at leas

in bold relief-the crushin

In our literature department we

This year we are continuing the

besides this they are to" have a
