A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN R. GUM.
Nearness to God.

Text-"It is good for me to draw near
to God."-Ps. ixxit28.
Why Is it good to draw near to God?
Because when we draw near to Him He
graciously makes Himself accessible To
US and responsive to our cry of want.
We come to Him for pardon for cur
sins, for strength to- overcome ternpta-
ton, for guidance and help in the
struggles Of life, for comfort and SYM
pathy in times OF trouble and sorrow.
And all these He gives when we draw
near to Him.
How good, then, 1t Is to draw near to
God. Not only because of the particular
and special helps we receive from Him
but because 1t is so delightful and sat-
iSfying to be near Him. It Is good to
draw near for the sake Of being near.
The nearer we are to Him the happier
We are. Our happiest and most restful
days have been those days when we felt
the sense Of nearness to God. We are
made for God, and when at a dis
lance from Him we feel a sense Of va
cancy which the world, with all its
good, cannot fill.
ut is good to draw near to God"
This implies that you may be at dis
lance from Him. For the time being,
everything going we'll with you, you
may think you can get along without
Him. But you will think differently
after a while. Adversely, bereavement,
old age, the prospect of death, are some
Of life's vicissitudes that are certain
to come your way sooner or later. And
when they come, You will change your
thinking and find 1t most necessary 10
draw near to God. Better draw near 10
Him now, before your troubles and sor-
rows begin.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRr.
Have a Care.

Did you ever stop to think that per-
haps the difficulties that you see in
your child might be placed there by
yourself? Many conscientious teach
er or mother has created double toll
and trouble by not seeing the real
child she was trying to help.
mean that we extend ourselves in
to and on and over and through a
child so that he. in self-defense. fights
us of. In fighting us of he has GER
tain very troublesome symptoms. He
may have cross spells. He may refuse
his food. He may neglect his work.
He may run away. He may complain
OF pains here and troubles there All
the time he is trying TO throw us off
his back and free himself to be him.
self.
One little one is slow and quiet and
dreamy. The mother wants her to
be active, alert, leader in sports and
studies and social activities She
drives the child from pillar to post
in a vain effort to make her into the
sort of child she is not and cannot be.
The child shows symptoms of distress
and the specialists are called in. The
mother in her anxiety to make this
child success, as she sees the sue
cess, has brought all this trouble and
worry upon herself and her child
Another child is boy who is rough
and ready. He shouts when he ought
to speak softly. He wants to play
ball when his mother wants him to
so to dancing school. He skips the
music period In school and goes to
the zoo. He breaks all his finger nails
carrying stones and sand and gravel
and cement to build hut far from
civilization.
The teacher reports him a truant.
His mother Is greatly distressed and
considers sending the boy to military
school. The principal OF the school
thinks he would be far better off In
school where he could learn a trade.
His father says mo. He is to stay
in school and behave himself No more
of this nonsense. If he doesn't be-
have good thrashing may help"
The boy slows down in all his school
work. He sulks and growls and grum-
bles. He talks back to the teacher.
He won't wash his hands and he
won't go to dancing school. He won't
answer the teacher when she calls on
him, although she is sure he knows
VIC dAASWCAs UCA4g WCAs
The boy is sent to camp for the
Summer to ease his mothers nerves
and get him out of the house generally
In camp he goes free and all the trou-
bic vanishes. He is not a dancing school
boy, but boy who wants to work with
stones and soil and water. Some day he
Is going to be an engineer, but that
Is q long way of. But he will never
go to jail as his poor mother fears
when she tries to make him polite
and like drawing room functions at
an age when his whole being calls for
rough work in the open.
Think 1t over. If you have a re-
bellious child on your hands regard
him with a thoughtful backward glance
What have you been trying to turn
him into? What have you been try
ing to change in him? Are you sure
it is not yourself that you are try
ing to repeat in this child?
You must bring up the child that
you have. Not the one you wish you
had.

MOTHERS

AND THEIR CHILDREN.

One mother says:
When children have afternoon maps
they do not sleep we'll at night. But If
they are allowed to romp and play all
day, they get cross and nervous and so
does mother.
In our family we have solved the
problem to the satisfaction Of every one.
Each child is washed ready for a nap,
and goes to his or her room, where in
a comfortable chair by a table he or she
spends the time in absolute quiet, color
ing pictures. looking at book, reading
or sewing. This, have found, rests
them about as much as a nap. It also
helps them in their school work, as

MEXICO CITY, Dec. II 800 For
more tnan five months neither Pre-
sldent Emilio Portes Gil nor Cen
eral Pedro J.. Armada, chief Of mill
tary operations in the state of
Puebla, have partaken Of alcoholic
drink Of any sort. or used tobacco in
any form. Neither the president
nor General Armada drank OF
smoked habitually even before early
in August when they pledged them
selves 70 abstain from both habits.
The first to take a drink has to
pay the other two hundred pesos
and the first TO smoke hundred
pesos.
The pledge was made during a
visit to Puebla by the President
when a series Of official banquets
and celebrations were arranged IN
his honor. as the President said at
the time had to be guarded
against. He referred to the sup
ply Of intoxicants that would form
part Of the banquet arrangements.
This pledge started as a result
OF a laughing remark BY the Pre-
sident to General Armada. when the
festive program was announced 70
him: Listen Armada, we have 70

who has Just returned from an in
v~estigation made in the tropical
exican territory.
The latex from which chewing
gum is made comes from the chico
zapote tree. The tree is tapped
similar 70 the way rubber trees are
tapped, and skins or buckets are
used to collect the 1atex. This Is
then boiled in open caldrons in
camps staked in the forests where
It is obtained. When the material

ment.

without discretion. and the trees

according 10 Hidalgo. AS no scien-
tific study OF this industry has as
yet been made. there is no way of
determining what the capacity of
the Quintana Roo forests is. and to
what extent conservation should be
practiced.
The worlds chicle supply comes
from a region embracing southern
Mexico, Guatemala and British
Honduras. Importation from this
region In 1923 totaled 10000. 900
pounds Of chicle-9. 834. 900 from
Southern Mexico and 2,500,000
pounds shipped ont of the port OF
Belize, British Honduras. 1t is es-
timated that 98 per cent Of the to-
tai chicle importation m from
Mexico, inasmuch as much produc-
ed in Quintana Roo is shipped

Almost all of the chicle goes to
