THE MoRE-THE EASIER

Perhaps It would not at once occur
to you, but. the more hustling men
and women to;enter the Salesmanship
Club the easier it will be for you to
secure one of the automobiles. How
is that, you ask? 1t is like this.
There are only so many POSSIBLE
subscript ons. to be had, even if we
consider every family in all the ter
ritory covered by The Planet. Now
if only two club members were work
ing. the winning one would neces,
sarily have to have more than half
Of those families to be sure Of having
more than his or her opponent. But,
if there ,were fifty sclub members
working, the winning one need only
have just few more credits than
any of the others. In other words
victory will come far easier. and from
far fewer credits, with fifty active
club members than if only a few
were working.

CREDITS ALONE WIN

Remember this too: The big
awards, big as they are, have no
strings tied to them. You do not
have to qualify with a certain num-
Der of credits or certain amount
of cash business to earn them Just
so you have the largest number of
credits, and that regardless what that
largest number happens to be. you
will receive that lovely Grand Cap.
ital Prize for your very own on the
evening Of Saturday. October II.
Just what number of credits will
be required to win first honors in this
campaign is something no man can
say. With an average number Of
club members working. the final to-
tails will probably be about average,
which means that a surprisingly
small number of subscriptions will
actually secure first honors.

With little ostentation. other than
an extreme effort to please the grow

food to be found there and the light

For the busy business man or col.

Believes Evolution Is
Basic Principle.

Evolution is the basic principle
of life and John Fiske has spoken
of evolution as Gods way Of doing
things" the Rev. Fred A. Line,
pastor of the Central Universalist
Church, declared Sunday while
speaking on Real Fundamentalists
and the Great Fundamentals Of Re
ligion."
Growth is essential to life" the
Rev. Line said. Where growth
it is not doctrines but doings which
should concern us. Jesus preached
throughout Galilee. But more than
this, he went about doing good. The
fundamental thing about Jesus was
his life. He said. I am come that
they might have life and that they
might have it more abundantly' A
man may believe in the doctrines
of the trinity, salvation by grace, and
everlasting damnation and yet be
scoundrel. There are many such
men, sound in the doctrines Of the
church but rotten in life.
Our creed is a creed of love and
means life, an ever increasing expe
rience in the things of God, that the
medium Of realization is service, the
service of hand and mind and heart.
Possessed Of a purpose of love we
desire to help in doing the work of
religion in the life Of the world today
make the life Of Jesus count as a
factor in the lives Of men. to ex
press the gospel of love in terms Of
the human welfare. to lead others
even as we grow ourselves into a
larger experience Of the eternal life
which Is here and now. Our gospel
relegates ignorance and fear and
superstition 1t exalts light and
love and beauty and human service.
Shall we not prove ourselves as
real fuudamentalists, according to
the new order in the Spirit Of Jesus,
setting ourselves to the task of
