Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN X. GUM.
Dividing Estates.

Text: "And one Of the company said
unto Him, Master. speak to my
brother. that he divide the inherita nee
with me. And lie said unto him. Man,
who made me a judge or a divider
over you?'-I.uke, xii.13-14.
The text brings to our attention two
brothers at variance over the settle.
ment of an estate. The dividing of
estates has alienated more hrotl ers
and sisters, and has caused more FAM
lily rows, than n any other one thing.
Christ's refusal to he drawn into the
matter when one of these brothers
sought His assistance. does not mea n
that He was not concerned whether
the inheritance was fairly divided be-
tween them. His teachings require
right and justice in all human rela-
tionships. But His method of dealing
with these relationships is not one of
direct management. His method is to
teach men right principles and inspire
them with right motives, and then
leave them to manage their own az
fairs.
In the case between these brothers,
Christ knew that the root of the whole
trouble was covetousness. and that no
division of the inheritance. no matter
how just, would satisfy them unless
this root cause was removed. In the
verse following the text He goes on to
warn again: Take heed, and beware
of covetousness."
Epictetus says that true education
lies in learning to distinguish what is
ours and what does not belong to us. 1"
Christ teaches us better than that. He
teaches us not to be selfish with what
is ours and not to covet what does not
belong to us.
Says an old Indian chief, Put
something before monkey. he grab it
all: man same way: man must come
from monkey" Whether man came
from the monkey, he makes a mon.
key of himself when ne yields to the
selfish and covetous spirit.
There will never be any trouble
about the division Of estates when
selfishness and covetousness are out
of the way.

Keeping a Schoolgirl
Complexion ~,
Shun any but a TRUE com.
pIexion soap used this way
By WILMA BANKY

CIMPLE are the rules of those
- whose skin you admire. For they
have probably learned the most inn
portant rule of good complexion.
Daily cleansing with mild COM
PLEXION soap, to keep skin clean,
and pores free of accumulations.
And, even more important, to shun
any but TRUE complexion soap
one made to foster lovely faces, to
protect and beautify the skin.
To ignore this simple rule is to
court danger-and a poor complex
ion. For prescnt-day beauty culture
calls for soap and water, regularly.
Largely on expert advice, millions
use Palmolive Soap; touch their
faces with no other. 1t is made of
cosmetic oils. 1t is made for one purpose
only-to protect and beautifythe skin.

The survey Of health facilities In

by DR.. Murray p. Norwood, of
Massachusetts Technical Institute,
in an address to the American
Child Health Association, meeting
in the Willard Hotel.
Surveys of this nature which
have been made in more than a
hundred large American cities have
proved highly beneficial in further.
ing health work." the speaker said.
II believe the Washington survey
will prove a very material aid to
the private and semi-private organi-
cations now engaged in health work
here"

writer on health matters, said the
time has passed when any real
progress can be made by following
hit or miss methods. Careful

concluded.
The session this morning was de.
voted to a discussion of trends in
