THE STANDARD IN
CHARACTER. CHILDLIKENES

First, The presentations: Jesus
was very busy but fond mothers
nevertheless brought their little
children to him in the hope that
he would touch them, lay his
hands upon them. and pray for
them.
Second, The Rehukc: Since
Jesus was surrounded by adults
and every moment was occupied
with teaching the multitudes, the
disciples felt that the coming of
the children would be an intru-
sion. For this reason they for
babe the bringing of the little
ones into the presence OF the
Saviour.
Third, The Welcome: Far from
being pleased with the conduct
of his disciples in this matter,
Jesus was moved with indigna-
ton" Without hesitation he called
them unto him, other work for the
moment giving way to that which
now leaped into precedence.
Notice what Jesus said. AS to
children and the Christ, he said,
Gomez As to children and
Christians, he said. "SHffc" for
bid not" AS to children and the
Kingdom, he said, "To such be-
longeth the KingdomH
Fourth, The Blessing: Who
can without emotion contemplate
what followed? Jesus took the
little ones up in his arms. He
laid his hands tenderly upon
them. He pronounced lovely
benedictions upon them.
THE STANDARD IN CONDUCT:
CHRISTLIKENESS ...-
The Rich Young Ruler failed
to reach the new standard in con-
duct. Note the two questions:
First, What shall ! do? This
was the inquiry addressed to
Jesus by princely youth. He
was eager, for he came running;
humble for he fell on his knees
before Jesus: reverent, for he
called Jesus Good Master; dis
corning, for he sought immortal
life: devoted, for he was willing
to do in order to. attain. But he
erred in thinking good deeds
could earn eternal life. However,
Jesus, who is God and therefore
good, answered his inquiry from
the rulers viewpoint. Hence he
cited the Commandments as to
adultery, murder, theft, perjury,
fraud, parental honor. and so on.
The young man declared that he
had kept every one of these from
his childhood. That he had not
really done so, and therefore
must look elsewhere for saliva
ton Jesus lovingly. but faithful
ly,. now shows him: "Sell-Give
l-Come-take up thy cross-Fol
low me-" Then he WINGED; his
face clouded: and, distressed, he
turned his back upon Jesus.
Second. Who can be saved?
This was the inquiry addressed t"
Jesus by the astonished disciples.
As, the rich young ruler went
away, Jesus remarked upon the
difficulty that rich men have in
entering the Kingdom of God.

TO THE PARENT THE RESPONSIBILITY

All the parents of America who are Interested
in the influence brought to bear in the education
of their children would form rather STABLE army.
As group they could come close to debating what
should be portrayed to the rising generation. IN
their collective hands would rest the answer as to
what should be shown in the movies, by advertis-
ing and on the radio. In view of this, some cur
rent radio programs, much of the present movie
fare and more than goodly share of printed aG-
vertising are almost unexpainabe.
This point was made clear to the parents of the
United States at the 34th annual convention OF
the Illinois Parent-Teacher Association recently by
Miss Maria Leonard. dean of women at the Uni
versty of Illinois. parents, pause and look az
our bilboards and movies. Our children are learn
ing more negative lessons from these unprincipled
tutors than from positive lessons in our schools
The incisive word that would put an instant stop
to erroneous Advertising whether bbOards, in
magazines or on radio programs can be spoken by
the parents of America. In their hands rests the
fate of their children's education. That the word
has not been spoken must be laid to a Sinking of
that responsibility. ..-. ....-..
The Parent Teacher associations are vocing g
growing appeal for united and awakened league
of parents to demand better and cleaner motion
pictures; to bar nsidious and subversive appeals
through advertising, and to censor programs on
the radio. To awaken the parents of Young Amer
lea to their responsibility may be difficult, but Ii
is not impossible. ..----~ -...
Indeed, advertising may itself furnish the last
needed call to this sense of responsibility When
the program for which the children are eagerly
waiting is preceded by one bearing an appeal for
the consumption of alcoholic beverages, the most
placid of parents may be shocked into indignation
and accept the responsibility that is inescapably
theirs Having accepted the responsibility and
taken the necessary steps to protect the children,
parents may look back, not only in gratitude for
the advance, but also in some measure of astonish-
ment at the number of avenues of eorrupting in
tuence which were obliterated when resolutely at
tacked--C Christian Science Monitor.

that although they were opposing

voted against Roosevelt measures

from home about it. Most re-
ports agree that the condemnation

far more frequent than the praise.

CHANCE FOR ART IN THE MOVIES
CBy BRUCE CATION

Sherwood Anderson, who is usually
ranked among the half dozen finest novel
lists in America, believes that writing is a
dead business The great American nov
ell" that everybody has been waiting for,
he says, will never be written; instead, we
shall have a great American movie.
This, he points out, means that the ar
dent young writer who feels that he is a
budding genius should not waste his time
irving to write novels; he should look to
the moving picture if he hopes to get any
where 80
''The movie really reaches the people"
says Mr. Anderson. 'In small town
everyone goes to the drug store after the
show and talks it over, and then they go
home to tell the plot to grandfather, whose
bad knee has kept him in his chair, and
they discuss it for week until new one
comes.
Movies should be simple. am not sure
l believe in propaganda movies, although
Einstein's 'Potemkin,' with that wonderful
scene of the terror on the long flight of
steps, was a great work. But the movies
have in mind should be simple stories o.
life in this country, in America"
Just to clinch his argument, Mr.. Ander-
son points to the contrast between the
movie-maker, whose product goes before
millions upon millions of people, and the
novelist, who feels lucky if he reaches as
many as 10000 people.
Despite the obvious fact that the aver
age serious novel towers above the aver
age, program movie, Intellectually, as
Pixies Peak towers over prairie dogs
earth mound, it is more than possible that
Mr.. Anderson is entirely right.
With all of its faults-and they are al
most beyond counting-the moving picture
does offer to the artist a field which is stint
ply breath-taking in its breadth and scope
To date the possibilities have hardly been
tapped. But they are there, waiting to be
exploited; and when the exploitation
comes we are quite likely to present the
world with a new richness of artistic crea-
ton that will be nothing less than daz,
zling.
So far the arts in America have not
taken very deep root in the life of the or
binary man. They have a way of resem-
bling shoots grated onto the main stem
The movie offers chance for an art that
springs up from the grass roots; an ar
that could express and transfgure the lus
ty, many-sided, turbulent and eternally vi
tai life Of a great nation.
