total abst2 liner has more endurance
in the daily task or on the march than
the one who keeps his system in state
of solution with beer, or even with
water.
If it is true that such outstanding
beer drinkers as Goethe and Bismarck
lived to be more than 80 years DID, 1t is
lamentable fact that many thousands
less noted similarly given over to the
use of alcoholics in so-called rnodera-
ton do not attain anything like that
age. Alexander the Great, who con-
quered the world, but not himself, was
fond of wine and died at the age of 80.
DR.. Vollmann argues that regardless
of the immediate effects of beer for
good or for ill, insofar as the human
system is concerned, there are questions
of ethics and morality involved which
makes the scale descend in favor of
abstinence. If it is good to drink, 1t
is certainly better not to drink, for
where one can point to an individual
now and then who is apparently none
the worse for his indulgence, it is never
difficult to match him with score
who are much the worse from the same
cause.

fro, poor DR.. Buchert. on whose de-

Frequent reference to Capone as a
general in command of a criminal
army calls attention to the fact that,
like few other generals, he has been
compelled to sacrifice subordinates in
order to maintain his command. Sher-
mans monosyllabic and vivid descrip-
ton of war Is universally accepted as
correct. Gang war intensifies the signifi-
canoe of the metaphor.

| OF this volume.
Under these special studies and ex-
| pert investigations the social sciences
| open out to a wider understanding and
to the inclusion of many parts not
| hitherto recognized by the general
reader as of direct social significance
and Importance. One lecture considers
social study as a science, establishing its
status as such. BY one and another of
these professionals in social research
| and findings methods already applied
efficiently in other prime interests are
shown to serve equally we'll in this
relatively new field. Methods applied to
political science belong here as we'll.
| The ways OF approach and treatment of
economics, the research in psychology,
| both have direct bearing upon the mat
ter in hand. History in its scope and
| treatment sets a path for the social
| scientist to consider and at points, to
emulate in its ways and means of hui
man disclosure and of associated effort.
| And by way of yet other sciences,
| further advanced in both substance
and method of unfolding light is thrown
upon this latest and, In many respects,
most difficult and elusive department
of knowledge, upon this most vital
and pressing matter of increased we'll
being of the human from every con-
siderable point of view.
Grouped and pointed upon a specific
purpose, the 10 lectures of this volume
offer to students outside the seminar
itself a line CT direction, way of ap-
proach, method Of pursuit hardly OBJ
tainable elsewhere. The subject itself is
one of steadily increasing Importance
one of many and varying aspects newly
entering the field of scientific interest
as one of its deepest concerns. To stu
dents in this field the volume will In
itself become an institution Of learn
ing, a field of research.
TO the general reader-even to the
intelligent and interested reader-the
lectures, almost without exception
wear the insignia of laborious effort;
fail, in a measure, to tighten the effect
Of difficulty with the joys Of discovery
and the promise OF bettered world
Just q little heavy with the-mayht

The lesson for the day, "The Par
Lble of the SOwer" was a fine one.
Jesus had been busy going
through the cities and villages
and healing as he went.
When the multitude came together
nd they of every city resorted un-
o Him, He spoke the Parable of
he Sower" And the sower went
orth to sow and some fell by the
7ayside; others fell on a rock, 4
theirs fell amidst thorns and the \
asst fell on good ground, and grew.

explained that the wayside, rock
and thOrns were those when they
had heard the word, would be temp
ted by the devil; others while re-
ceiving the word with joy, yet it
had no root; others represented by
the thOrns would pay no attention,
! enjoying the pleasures of life and
| bringing no fruit to perfectiOn-bu
! the good ground would represent
those who after hearing the word,
would hold it fast, press the battle
to the gates and enable them TO
wear a crown.
Why did Jesus on this occasion
speak by a parable. The disciples
and the multitudes gathered would
not understand if he spoke in the
plain Hebrew language, but by
parable and explanation, they would
fully understand His meaning; so
Jesus often spoke by parallels, so
that the people of His day would
understand.
Do people of this day require any
language outside OF which is taught
in the Bible to learn and to know
that there are certain limits which
we dare not oVerstep. Jesus made it !
plain in His teaching that women
and men must obey His command |
ments at all times and not try to |
override that which is good by |
things of a worldly nature, which if |
brought into church will destroy its
usefulness for good, forever

steps. Modern things as now inter
preted will not aid the so called
Christians to either pass safely
through the pearly gates or appear
before the throne.
1t is a neat thing to be a whole
Christian. Think about il
and pray about it.
There was no class meeting Sun
day morning.
The evening service was under
the auspices of the EpwOrth League.
Mrs. Henry Benchback, leader, who
presented Il very fine program.
The evening sermon by the pas
or was one that deserved close at
,entiOn by his hearers. Luke 1881,
was the text. Behold we so up to
Jerusalem and all the things that
ire by the prophets concerning the
Son of man shall be accomplished.
The pastor spoke of the sadness
which Jesus was experiencing be-
ore His death upon the cross. The
Master saw before Him the many
ndignities which He would have to
uffer before the end was accom-
'lished. The disciples did not under

minority fully appreciates. The artistic
and the cultural in the past have been
badly neglected insofar as public affairs
are concerned.
Back of the success achieved in this line
are the abilities and personalities of John
and Nina Canton who as director and ac-
cOmpanist, have labored hard to create
and bring to perfection in Imperial Val
ley, musical organizations such as are
found in the majority of American COM
munities. Their work has succeeded in
spite of the Indifferent attitude assumed
by so many of us. Prior to their coming
to Imperial Valley there was little
achieved or attempted so far as choral
work is concerned. Theirs has been the
work of pioneers and they have enGeared
themselves to those with whom they have
worked, and with the general public, by
their optimism, their refusal to be dis
couraged by indifference and by their
abilities which are recognized in the lead
ing musical circles of the Southland.
The men and women who work with
them have acquired much of their zeal
and enthusiasm, and it is this which Ia
inspired them to give of their spare t:le
to the long hours of rehearsal necessary
to prepare for concerts
Like so many other blessings, too many
of us never recognize them as such until
they are no more. We ourselves are the
real gamers by cooperating whole-heart-
edly in every way with the choral clubs
and their efforts to provide Imperial
Valley with the best in music.
