monette of last Sunday was an illus

ed that ain order to get the best out
of our lives we must put the best into
them and in order to get pureness
and beauty from our hearts we must
first put pure and beautiful thoughts
in them" Restoring the Lost
Years" was the sermon theme, the
text of which was, 81 will restore un-
to you the years which the locusts
have eaten" The argument of the
sermon was to show that eff you are
genuinely sorry for your mistakes
of the past and if you try earnestly
to retrieve them, God will make your
future years, so full of happiness that
the fruitless years will be forgotten"
Sunday evening the sermon was a
discussion of the 42nd Psalm.

WITH THE CHURCHES
~~~~S~
The Changeless Church

The church must change its meth
DDS as the circumstances of human
life are changed. The needs of
highly organized industrial age are
not the same as those of placid
era of sowing and reaping in the
fields. The growth of cities means
new tasks for the church. 1t must
meet them without the shackles of
obscurantist stubbornness. 1t must
be open-minded, courageous, intent
only on fulfilling its Masters COM
mand to minister in his name.
Nevertheless, at the heart of things
the church must be unchanging. It's
inner life and its primary function
will never change. 1t is the House
of God or it is nothing. First of all,
and foremost, it must call men and
women to the worship of the Eternal.
The church may have eloquence,
energy, knowledge, money, power,
and multitudes of people in its menu
Fbership; but unless it makes men
| feel that God is real and near it is
become as sounding brass and a tink-
ling cymbal.
Buildings, numbers and cash do
not make a church. There is only
enc measure of its life and that is
the effect of its activity in promot-
ing the disposition of its people to
reDeat the prayer of the publican.

MEANING OF
"STERLING"

WHAT does the word sterling"
w mean when stamped on sill
yer? Most everyone knows that
it guarantees quality. Many per.
sons, however, do not know the
exact meaning of the word. Lit.
orally, sterling" stamped on q
piece Of silver means: "This silver
is 925f1000 fine" In other words,
it is silver In its purest workable
form-925 parts pure silver and
IS parts alloy, used to give the
silver greater hardness and dur
ability. This proportion never
varies. 1t is fixed by law.
The word sterling" is a cor
ruption of ''Easterlings," the
name given by the English to cer-
tain traders who came from the
Eastern German cities and who
were famous for the purity of
their coinage. English coins of
silver were finally brought up to
the same high standard and were.
therefore, called "easterlings' and
later "sterlings." Thus, the word
sterling g"-derived from the name
OF honest men, became the ac-
cepted term for pure metal Of
standard quality.
The term sterling" is most
often used to describe household
silver such as knives, forks, and
spoons, tea services, plates and
other objects of solid silver.

required.

Now, of course, the regular

answered just as well; but Auntie
knew that a book that bore the

would seem more advanced and
important to the girl. And that

The Visiting Gard

NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Will you kindly settle an arg
ument? Is it correct on young
1ady's visiting card tc have the
Miss" engraved before the
name?"
A claims it should be Mary
Smith, B says it should be Miss
Mary Smith. 1. C. w.
B is correct. 1t Is extremely
bad form for a young lady, even
a very young lady, not to have
the title engraved before her name.
Without the Miss the card
looks unfinished, and 1t would in
dicate at once that there had been
social error. You see, it is logical
that this should be so, for a visit
ing card is most formal and there
fore would call for formal express
sion. There should be no abbre-
viations also-another formal de-
tail

self well. Correct posture counts
for grace and symmetry. It is
said that most of us are from
one half to one inch shorter than
Nature intended us to be. because
of our incorrect posture and
cramped muscles. No matter
what your height is. be sure you
look 100 per cent better than
you otherwise would If your move
ments are 1.-the and graceful,
your carriage easily erect.
If you are still in your teens,
you may be able to actually add
an inch to your height by means
of stretching exercises. Whatever
your age, they will add to your
physical poise and suppleness.
Stretching exercises are the
means used by the tiger and the
lion in his cage, and by your
sleepy Persian cat, to keep in ex-
quisite physical condition, despite
limited opportunities for running,
climbing and the wild life natural
to animals.
The beasts at the zoo are al.
ways stretching and twisting, and
turning their bodies, pushing them
against the floor or sides of the
cage. BY following their example,
and including stretching exercises
in your daily setting-up drill, you
can attain some of their 1.-the
grace. IS
Here are two stretching exer-
cises, which between them, should
give a pull to nearly all the mus
cles of your body:
Sit on the floor with your arms
back OF you, palms resting on the
floor. Now lift your body from
the floor without bending, sup
porting it entirely with your
palms and feet.
Fling your right leg over your
left, and twist your hips so that
your right foot touches the floor.
Return to position, supporting
your body by your palms and
feet. Now alternate, by flinging
your left leg over your right until
it touches the floor. Repeat the
exercise ten times or until you
feel tired.
The second exercise consists in
standing straight, with your heels
two inches apart, your feet point
ed straight ahead, bending your
head backward on your neck as
axis, then bending forward with
your rAknees straight until your fin
ger-tips touch the floor. Repeat
this exercise also ten times or
more.
Stretching exercises should be
practiced slowly and accurately.
You will find them pleasant,
normal outlet for your energy
and an aid to your beauty.
