A Valuable Lesson

A valuable lesson to processing
followers of Jesus Christ.
"a certain man had two sons. He
said to the first, go work in my vine
yard, the son said, will not. but he
afterward repented and went. He
came to the second and said like
wise, the second son said, / go sir,
but went not. Which did the will of
his Father? Jesus further said,
verify l say unto you, the publicans
and harlots go into the Kingdom of
God before you" Not every one
that saith, Lord, Lord, shall enter
the Kingdom of God, but he that
doeth the will of My Father in
Heaven" ''In that day many shall
come unto Me and say. have we not
eaten and drunk In Thy presence
Spiritually and Thou hast taught
In our streets? But He shall say,
tell you, know you not whence We
are. depart from Me, all ye that do
iniquity." This is that day., and
the Golden Rule" Is being worked
out among a class of many nation
alities, who have been redeemed
from their former low lives Before
YOU"
Notice what recently happened IN
business concern. I'VE noticed
that the very atmosphere was charg-
ed with profanity. There were many
nationalities in our group, but If one
had asked what language they spoke
1t would have been a true and COM
prehensiye answer to have said,

In speaking of the ideals we hop

said a word about profanity: how

A Novel Peace Project

The committee on World Friend
ship Among Children" headed by Mrs.
jeanette Enrich, has launched a
project whereby at the next celebra-
ton of Dolls Festival in Japan March
5, 1927, not less than 1000 little girls
of the Sunrise Kingdom will be hold
ing in their arms American dolls
Each year, as the Festival of Dolls
returns, they hope this message of
American friendship to these homes
across the sea viii be spoken by dolls.
At the very heart of American home
life is the little girl with her doll. In
Japan an equal love for dolls is felt
by the girls.
1t is the custom in Japan to pre-
serve the dolls of successive genera
lions and at festival time these dolls
are exhibited.
1t is hoped by this organization to
promote friendship among children
that will increase friendship between
the two countries, when American
dolls, the expression of our interest,
are added to their ancestral treasures.
Various mission circles and churches
are taking up this work, and it is be-
lieved the mission circle OF the Uni
versalist church in Waterville has
dressed the first Maine doll to take
this journey to Japan. Monday the
ladies of this church held a christen-
Ing party for their doll, naming her
Agnes Hathaway in honor of Miss
Hathaway. recently returned from 20
years service in charge of a girls
school in Toxic, and with her pass
port already secured, Agnes Hatha-
way, the doll, is ready for her long
Journey.
These dolls are to be kept purely
American in style.
The Universalist ladies will place
their doll on exhibition In one OF the
store windows in Waterville for few
days before she embarks for her for
eign home as gift to some little girl
in Japan.

Is there any good reason why we
should not desire to have American
made goods bear the label: Made
in U. S. A.? If so what is It?
Surely II we can make the best

worthy to bear the stamp: MADE in

II this stamp We're advertising in
ferior goods at lower prices there
would be valid objection from those
who make excellent goods in this
country. Our goods are not in
ferior or our exports of them to for
eign countries would not continually
increase. We possess the facilities
for making our wares the best in

compound mixed with olive oil as a
substitute for calomel to act on the
