talks with boys on the subject. The
article Is published by the Journal
of the American Social Hygiene
Association, in whose pages one con-
stantly finds the discussion of so
many subjects that enter everything
in the world except the popular mag
azines.
Mr.. Newell ". Edison writes in
the May number about "Love in the
Making" and though his article is
addressed to boys" it is entirely
devoted to their relations with girls.
And that is a subject about which
more is thought and said and less
published than almost any other in
the world. Few things are OF more
importance to girls than what BOYS
think of them, and vice versa.
Mr.. Edison takes up such i'm
mensely vital questions as: How
can / tell when 1 am in love? 1
have thought so before and found 1
wasn't; how can be sure now?'
No diagnosis is more vital, Mr..
Edison gives with much interest
ing comment which condense) nine
minimum essentials of love: first,
genuine interest in this girl and
in all that she is and does. Even
the things he doesn't like in other
people became likeable in her. Sec
ond, a community of tastes, ideals,
and standards with no serious
clashes. Third, greater happiness.
Fourth, real unhappiness in alb
sence. Fifth, feelin" of comradc-

Grafton of her judgment, a recog-
milton that her common sense is
probably equal to his.
Eighth, a pride in her, including
pride in her dress, her appearance,
her whole personality. Ninth, a

gether. The more skills and the
greater variety Of interest, each
brings to the home partnership,
the better are the chances for its
success.

CULTURED SAILORS

Sailors are demanding books, especially on the
Great Lakes. So the American Merchant Marine Ii
brary association is raising collection of 10000 vol
umes for them to while away their leisure time with
this season.
What kind of books? There is surprising de-
mand for good literature, for solid works of history
and economics, and especially for scientific works
along many lines
1t is not exactly Of old-fashioned sailors ac-
qurlng literary tastes but of the type of sailors chang
ing. The "grizzed and blasphemous sea dog of fc-

Some years ago the writer wrote
to a u. S. senator who was being

encouragement from an humble citi-

answer came back: "Many thanks for

NEW YEARS MESSAGE

As YEAR succeeds year we are
= called upon to sttake inventory
of the past, whether it be in business,
or in private life. Every year means
establishments to the equipment we
carry over into the New Year, and
adjustment to new conditions which
inevitably arise with the new epoch.
That man is a knave or a fool who
fails to realize that morality and
business are tinter-linked and insep-
arabic
The nation calls for and rightly
expects, that her citizenship shall
maintain morale worthy of its ira
ditions, and acceptable to the world
of nations for the purpose of emula-
ton, and confidence at all times but
more particularly in time of crises.
The "zeit-geist" is unintelligible to
the average citizen, owing to the fact
that international affairs are kept
fairly under the control of govern
ment atmosphere lest needless pam
les may ensue. Even the press is linn
tied in this respect, and perhaps,
reasonably so. We blame our govern
ment for everything right or wrong,
because we have contracted the habit
of so doing, forgetting that the gov
eminent must in the last analysis be
influenced by the general demeanor,
in habit of thought, and action of the
people. It is eternally true "that
righteousness exalteth nation, but
sin is reproach to any people"
proverbs 14:34).
A nations wealth is no greater
than the sum total of its goodness.
We do well then, in considering the
demands of the New Year upon us, to
strengthen our cords, and lengthen
our stakes, in matters moral and re-
ligious, that We may remain true to
the trust confided in us by our fore
bears.
"Old Glory, by virtue of its col
ors, throws out a threefold challenge
viz:-White is emblematical of pur-
ity of life and conduct: Blue is SYM
bolica1 Of true relationship ito our
highest traditions and ideals; and
Red, that we may rally to its call by
self denial, and self sacrifice even
to the point of shedding our life's
blood if need be.

and grade and grade until he "grade-
