ALTA VESTA
A GIRLS PROBLEMS
=BYYidetta Ish


Dear Alta Vesta: In your last
letter you mentioned a matter Of
great concern, and this affords me
the opportunity to say some Of the
things which long l have desired
to say.
All work of reaching people, in
%eresting them in Christianity and
persuading them to accept it as
the rule Of their lives, is evangelism,
and every worker thus engaged is
an evangel, or messenger.
What we now call an evangel-
istic campaign was, in earlier days,
called a revival" and the evangel-
list Of those other days was called
a "revivalist.p This has been the
method of spreading Christianity
and winning men to Jesus Christ.
It is estimated that three-fourths
of all persons who have become
Christians have been reached and
won by means of these revivals and
revivalists.
| have an engagement now, and
must close. Will tell you more about
t in my next letter. Love to you and
Aunt Cornelia.
Your loving Father

PROVERBS
AND
PARALLELS
BY A. B. Mann

Perhaps people do not realize
what they are saying when they use
the expression He is a chip off
the old block" This has reference
to heredity and means that it is
as natural for the offspring to be
like the parent as it is for the chip
to be like the block from which it
has been cut.
Recognition Of this fact should
win tolerance for those who are of
unfortunate vicious heredity. In all
such cases justice demands SYM
pathy and tolerance in judging
guilt and in fixing moral %responsi-
bility. More than this and in ad-
vance of it, the matter suggests
necessity for caution in selecting
the block from which the human
chip is to come.

MRS. SCHUYLER SAYS
By Mrs. Josephine Sckuyle.
FOR TIE GAVIN sERVICE
Where Was Man First Civilized?

Where Was Man First Civilized?
The historians have long and
solemnly assured US that the fl s.
civilization appeared in the valley
Of the Tigris and Euphrates in Mes
opotamia. The Aryans (therre is
really no such thing as an Aryan
race, but since some Europeans in
sist on calling themselves this, we
will humor them) painstakingly
{ aced their ancestry back to these
first urbanites of the Uear Sast.
One historian recently suggested
that it was just possible that civili-
cation began in Africa-but, of
course, he added it was of Semitrie
origin. That linked it, however va
guely, with Europe and European
history. But now, 10 and behold
our Anne lean scientists are MAX
ing undreamed of discoveries of
ancient cities in the Americas.
Up till now, as you may recall,
the Americas have been referred
TO as the New World" The In
dams that the gold-hungry, blood
thirsty Spaniards found in Mexico,
Central America and Peru were
not at first rated civilized. For had
thay been how could the Spaniards
have civilized them. The theory was
that they e savage Mongolians
who had crossed oerr the Aleutian
Islands only a few centuries before
the European got here. That left
these two immense, fertile contin-
ents without human life for mil
lions of years previous to this. A
preposterous idea but accepted in
the best circles as truth.
Now, some of our bright young
scientists ire uncovering all sorts

EARNED SOCIAL SECURITY

1t would seem that social security" is destined to be a po-
lrieal issue for a long time to come. Within the parties there is
considerable internal dissention as to what is the proper pro-
gram to pursue.
In the meantime millions of American citizens are quietly
and effectively achieving social security for themselves without
benefit of government.
They are setting up trust funds and saving accounts. They
are buying life insurance in unprecedented amounts-and more
and more of the insurance is sold of the annuity type which pro-
vides old-age income as well as protection for dependents,
This is not an argument against government social security
which is believed 10 be a compelling need Of the time. 1t is, how
ever, a tribute to that old type Of American independence which
guards against the future through individual thrift, foresight
and good hard work.

DRINK AND DEGRADATION
BY Il. A. Adams
D3 II n tA"""'
For the Literary Service ureau

Cor the Literary Service ureau)
The degradation to which drink
will drag one down and its influence
in and on crime have been brought
to us again in the murder of the
lawyer Dicken by Ferris in Detroit
Michigan. This man came from one
of the best families in America,
but drink ruined him.
He offered to buy drinks TO
strangers. He took these strangers
to his own hotel room to drink with
him. Dring changed these women
into female demons and made them
capable of this terrible crime.
Drink caused the man to seek asso-
citation with these dissolute charact-
ers. Drink made him forgeful and
earless on that fatal ride, and
drink dehumanized the murders and
made their terrible deed possible.
At the door of this demon may be
laid thousands of such crimes, and
yet the people Of this nation voteC
to unleash his terrible thing. AnC
this is only a small part of th'
peanalty to pc paid for their folly

BE GAME
By X. A. Adams

(For the Literary Service ureau)
If you have been unwise in dealing
However sad you may be feeling,
Since your own folly was to blame,
Just chuck your losses and be game.
Whatever might have been your
losses,
Whatever fate, or fortune losses,
Forbear excuses now to frame,
But chuck your losses and be game.
What e'er may be your situation,
And whatever your inclination,
Be not a coward, to your shame,
But face the music" and be game.
