The Bank of Good
Character.

The word bank" is justly taboo
around Lancaster lately due to Sc
we're and perhaps necessary publicity
on the subject of recent date. But
when we see young men rush head
long to destruction we think OF an
other bank that might have saved
them. Certainly it will do no harm
to mention the bank of Good Charac-
ter
Slowly, day by day, by practice OF
the Golden Rule the person banking
in this bank convinces the people he
comes into contact with that he is,
what is called in modern parlance, "a
straight shooter" That is that he
wishes to treat people fairly and only
asks the same deal for himself. Sure
ly again there is nothing out of the
way in this. Rather if everybody
practiced the principle all our trOu-
bles would vanish over night.
Creation Of public respect for your
character is a plant of slow growth
but it's roots go deep and it is firmly
anchored. Eventually, by making
dai.v friend. one has a whole crop OF
friends They may not be friends IN
a social sense and they may not even
like you because your personalities
may clash.
But they will respect you and trust
you and that is far more important to
you and the world than merely liking
you.
This is the bank of good character.
Anyone may open an account at any
time, day or night. No matter how far
down they may be they can begin to
build up again. The glory of life is
that the leopard can change his spots.
And the crook at any time he elects
may become an honest man. It's all
in the frame of mind and the point OF
view.

AERE is new discovery in toilet

of toilet soaps has been combined with
a secret medicinal extract which has
the marvellous power of dissolving, re-
moving and preventing all perspira-
ton odors.
Every dainty woman wants to be rid
of perspiration and body odors. To pre-
vent these odors women have been
using chemical deodorants which close
the pores, damage the clothing andoften
cause serious irritation. Chex does not
close the pores, does not damage cloth
ing, does not hide odors with perfume.
Nothing is covered up-Chex removes
the cause. 1t destroys all odors and
leaves none
The story of Chex reads almost like
anovel. For years an expert in personal
hygiene has been working on this one
problem-the distressing problem of
perspiration odors. He has studied,
Travelled, searched in every land for
some ingredient which would relieve
this ever present annoyance of so many
wonderland men, too. At last, after
countless experiments he has found in
this newly discovered extract the
power to do this very thing-to Danish

from the middle of the side which
shows but one edge. Throw away
this fragment. Keep the paper folded
but pressed fiat on the table where it
can be seen.
Give your friend a pencil and an
other piece Of paper and say: Draw
a picture showing how the folded
piece of paper would look if unfolded.

Important experiments have been
made recently IN Berlin testing the
use Of dogs in catching criminals. AS
a result. the German government
has forbidden the use of dogs. The
Berlin tests were performed under
favorable conditions with the best
prize-winning dogs Of Germany. The
tests showed that the dogs could not
pick out a trail among many trails;
that they could not follow an uncon-
tamlnated trail several hours old; that
they could not choose an object after
being given the scent of its owner,
and so on, through many of the things
highly trained dogs are supposed
to do
Bloodhounds have long been used in

Read Mt. 16:5-20. Text: 1916. Thou
art the Christ, the Son Of the living
God.
The essence Of the experience was
the actual presence Of the personality
Of Jesus communicating to the dis
ciples his own victorious sense Of APP
pointment by God to world leadership
in the great movement to establish a
race Of honest, friendly. powerful men
on the earth. Jesus was still with
them with undated power and pur-
pose, and this transformed their doubt
and bitter disappointment into per-
manent enthusiasm"
MEDITATION: The disciples real
lied his divinity. They accepted this
as fundamental and they committed
their lives to him. The glory Of the
Christian religion is that through the
years countless men and women, out
Of their own experience with Christ,
have come to know him as the Son
of the Living God and through him
to have salvation.

in my life do I interpret to be the
presence Of the living Christ?
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we
pray that we may see thy glory in
Jesus Christ. Give us a keener con-
seriousness of the presence of the
spirit of Christ in our daily lives.
May we have this joy in abundance,
that we may share with our needy
