THE OLD sWIMMlN HOLE

What a wonderful exercise swim
ming is! What graceful well-bal-
anced muscle curves it produces
one needs only to look at an expert
swimmer to behold. For this, if for
no other reason, it should have an
appeal; but back of the well-devel-
oped musculature there is a tone
of health that breathes of the joy
of living. The graceful art of swim
ming does much towards developing
that perfect physique which makes
Of the body ready servant of the
will, harmonious mechanism as a
whole. There is nothing more stim-
ulative in it's action upon the skin
than swimming, the pores contract
ing and expanding, as it were, with
every stroke. The circulation is
quickened through the muscular
exertion entailed, and all the organs
of elimination and combustion are
whipped into action and the poisons
thereby expelled Thus we have in
swimming a perfect form of exer-
else. Cleanliness next to Godli-
ness finds herein it's perfect applica-

DR.. j. A. Morehead, executive di-
rector of the National Lutheran
Council, 437 Fifth Ave, New York
City, announces a new Christmas
holiday stamp issued in sheets of
ten, at one dollar hundred, for
use generally on letters and pack
ages. The funds derived from the
sale Of this stamp will be used by
the Council for European relief in
places where the need is greatest.
The stamp bears as its motto
statement of the first Christmas
gift made to all the world: "God

Psychology of the Christmas Stamp

the little oft-repeated act Of
thoughtfulness which the use Of
these stamps requires.
at is not like big gift once
made. 1t is in sense continuous
giving, and we think that it has
thus a splendid psychological eff
feet upon the people. After all,
giving is habit of thought, just
as is the unwillingness to give, and
any system Of giving which re-
quires the constant repetition in
the mind of the will to give is Of
great benefit to the particular
cause, to the individual giver, and
to the organization under whose
auspices the gift is made. 1t comes
eventually to the old maxim that
to think right is to do right, and
the use of the holiday stamp con-
stitutes most effective training
in right thinking.
"Some one has said that the
Christian ideal is sum total Of
righteous habits. OF these not the
least is the habit of giving to re-
lieve suffering.
Europe today is filled with suf-
foring, and for those who suffer
the condition Is extremely hard to
bear, because so much actual want
exists among peoples heretofore
considered the richest in the
world"
