Federal Council OF Churches OF Christ II, In
the the trends of thought in the many letters
which he receives.
Lexington, KY.
Is there not at least a suggestion
of worldly prudence in the command
of Jesus: Make unto yourselves
friends of the mammon Of upright
eousness" (St. Luke, xvi9)?
How does this teaching square
with the New Testament's renuncia-
ton of wealth?
Answer-Allow me to clear the
ground by saying that the New Testa-
ment does not renounce wealth; 1t
consecrates It, and its teachings ap-
prove those who subordinate their
material possessions to higher uses.
Mammon Is the common Aramic
word for money, riches, and as such
! Is neither righteous nor unrighteous.
| When Jesus said, Eye cannot serve
God and mammon" He emphasized the
word "serve," Concentration upon
the requirement of money to the ex-
clusion of everything else is fatal to
the development of unselfish devotion
either to man or God.
Among the Jews the expression
"mammon of unrighteousness" was
frequently used to denote wealth dis
honestly gained. and they also used
! the phrase ''mammon of righteous
ness" for wealth honorably acquired.
Now for the meaning of the text
as imbedded in the context. 1t was
addressed to the money-loving group
in our Lords audience. HIS disciples
| had no rnammon (money) of either
kind, righteous or unrighteous. Since
| it is not always possible to return
money dishonesty acquired to its
rightful owner, Jesus counsels these
well known extortioners to give aims
out Of their ill-gotten gains and so
make for themselves friends among
the poor and helpless. Only by so
doing can mammonites be delivered
from the narrowing lust of gold and
prepared for that future life in which
earthly goods have neither place nor
meaning.

/ What good are the classics to a
college student who expects to en-
i ter business life?
/ Would not ones time be better
spent in learning modern languages?
| Answer do not know any man or
woman who really knows the classics
well who does not reckon them among
/ Gods best gifts. Nor can any nation,
However familiar its educated groups
are with modern languages or scien-
tific learning, be considered truly cul-
i tured which does not have the spirit
of the classics in its blood.
/ For some who falter at a hard
phrase there are helps. Even for
| those who VIII never know the classics
in the original, there are TRANSACTIONS.
| For all who have direct access there
are unforgettable illusions, untrans-
mittsble phrases and haunting de-
scriptions.

so hard that Reddy began to feet un-

ticed that Barker had no legs. At
least, they were not like any legs
Reddy had ever seen. Where his
front legs should have been, according
to Reddy's idea, were what looked like
| two paddles. He had no hind feet.
That is, Reddy thought he had no
hind feet. When he moved, he Topped
| about on the rock. No one who
| Topped about like that could make
| much of a success living on shore.
But it was equally hard for Reddy to
imagine anybody but a fish living in
the water all the time. ''are you a

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYBTLE MEYER ELDRED.

L Much Worried: You will no doubt
think this a funny kind of question,
but having no experience with such
things, / thought you might help me.
! am constantly being bitten on the
neck or arms by some kind of pest.
The bite is as large as a small pin
head and red. It doesn't itch. / am
sure 1t is bite. Is there anything
you could tell me to do to feel per-
fectly clean?"
Answer-The first thing that occurs
is prickly heat. This might be mis-
taken for a bite, and SO might hives,
which is due to your diet, and means
that you are eating something which
is poison" to your system and causes
you to break out
Or 1t is possible that your bed is in
fected with bedbugs and that these
pests are feasting on you during your
sleep. / should take a look at the
bed for safety, anyway.
Apply diluted ammonia household
ammonia is usually about the right
strength to the bites. This will be
the wrong thing If the so-calIed bites
are hives or prickly heat: SO, you
see, advice about doubtful bites or
rashes is usually pretty much a mat
ter of guess, and one can't be espe-
cially helpful.

EVERYDAY QUESTIONS
Au,ce,ed BY DIR. S. PARKES CADMAN

Massachusetts almost the last polit-
ical orators of English speaking states
who could quote the classics passed
away. But are their successors any
more efficient in word or deed? Mr..
Baldwin, ironmaster and employer of
labor, country gentleman and cousin
of Rudyard Kipling, who also happens
to be the premier of Great Britain, is
a f1rst.rate classical scholar. He de-
clares that after the orgies Of political
campaigning he purged his brain and
conscience by reading the Odyssey"
the "Aeneid" or the "Odes Of Horace"
All can say to any college stu
dent who has the opportunity TO
know these authors at first hand is
that he will never regret the time
he spends with these masters Of an
tiQuity. They are the best models
of style. the giant peaks in ones in
tellectual landscape. Think again be-
fore you pass these immortals by.
Brooklyn, N. Y.
If the doctrine Observe a law be-
cause it is law had been promul-
gated and complied with $50 years
ago, there would have been no Amer
lean independence.
How, then, can this doctrine be APP
piled to obedience to the eighteenth
amendment?
Answer-Although the causes for
the war of American independence
seem relatively slight to some, never
theless, the principles at stake had
been accepted for centuries as para
mount by English-speaking states.
The futile and weak policies Of
George III and his henchmen placed
the mother country In an untenable
position. The Colonials embodied
law in the name of revolt; the Royal
lists embodied revolt in the name of
law. There is no parallel between
such a situation, which involved tax
alton without representation, and the
eighteenth amendment, as passed by
the Federal Congress, ratified by
nearly all the States, and since GOES
firmed as constitutional by the Sue
prene Court of the Nation.
When representation has been fully
recognized in the enactment of a law,
the disposition to break it evinces de-
fective patriotism and poor sports
manship.
Let the disconnected citizen work
for the repeal Of the law as hard as
he pleases. Meantime, he is bound to
obey 1t, or else to expect that the
general lawlessneSs is, in part, the
result of his particular refusal to
abide by the law

This hallway of classic beauty is
a fitting introduction to the digni-
fed delights of colonial mansion.
The graceful curve of the stair is
echoed in the curved top of the
stately arch.
The walls in this hall are smooth
plaster painted dull Adam green,
making a beautiful background,
against which the ivory white wood
work and stairs show to perfect ad-
vantage.
The floor of this hall is not its
least attractive feature by far. 1t
is of hardwood, stained very dark
walnut shade and waxed to a high
polish.
The single piece of furniture, a
little love seat upholstered in a flow
cred chintz, which has the appear
lance of being yellowed by age, adds
exactly the right touch of livable-
ness to keep the hall from becom-
ing cold and naughty.
