 Editor Of Advance


 "The Remaking of Jacob" the title of this lesson, is itself signifi- cant. Jacob certainly needed re- making. The title of the lesson for Finding Ones Better Self" also is significant, for this was precisely what happened in Jacobs remak- ing.
 Jacob, the shrewd trickster, grasp ing for himself and his own inter- est, was transformed into a man capable of thinking of others.
 Face to face with new respon- abilities that put upon him the care of other people and duties in relation to his community, he be- came a different man, the sort of man upon whom civilizations can be built.

From "The War Cry")


 In 1878 The Christian Mission became The Salvation Army, and four years later the first group of Salvation Army missionaries land- ed in India. Ceylon, South Africa, Rhodesia, Java, and others, fol- lowed in quick succession, and be- fore the turn of the century, Sal- vation Army missionaries were telling the Good News in many distant lands.
 The strange thing about Salva- tion Army missionary work-and this is true of many branches of Army endeavor-is that it was not premeditated, nor was it thought of in the original plans of the founder. His main concern was with the churchless masses of England, but it was not long be- fore the call came from distant lands.

o. Why are Catholic priests forbidden to marry?
 A. A Catholic spokesman an- swers: Clerical celebacy is not a precept of the divine or natural law; neither is it a dogma of the Catholic church. It is simply an obligatory law of the western church, imposed with @ view to the dignity and duties of the priesthood. The earliest law en- forcing celibacy was passed by the council of Elvira in Spain in about the year 300. By the time of Pope Leo the Great (440-461) the law of clerical celibacy was obligatory throughout the vest
 Q. What is the small metal tube on the upper part of the right post of doors leading into some Jewish homes?
 A. This tube is known by the name ''Mezlzah," literally mean ing door post. The tube con- tains a small parchment scroll made of the skin of a clean ani- nal. The object of the Mez- uGah is to remind Jews of the need of sanctifying the home by means of religious teachings and of keeping the home unpollutet from all evil.

o. Was it ever prophesied that Christ would be baptized by John?
 A. No. Christ was baptized not because he needed it, being without sin, but to fulfill the law. When John proposed that he ought to be baptized by Christ, the answer was: Suffer it to be SO now. For so it be- cometh us to fulfill all justice" (Matt. 5, IT, Christ says again that he came to fulfill the law.
 Q. What are the rules, and what is the practice of the Pentec0staI Holiness church as to prayer and fasting?
 A. Joseph H. King, general superintendent of the Pente- costal Holiness church, replies: "The Pentecostal Holiness church in its discipline has not fornnu- lated definite rules, for the guid- ance of its members in the mat ter of prayer and fasting. Each member is left to his choice in performing such duties. How ever, persons who have been very spiritual have been known to devote much time to fasting and prayer as a means of deep- ening their spiritual life"

pRACTICAL, hard-headed naval ~ officers of old objected to a school for midshipmen, other than the haphazard classes held aboard ship. For years efforts were made to get congressional approval of a land school, but not until 1845 was a way found regardless of action by Congress.
 In that year, Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft had the abandoned army post of Fort Sev- ern, at Annapolis, Md, transferred to the Navy Department, and there he applied some of the funds appropriated for instruction aboard ships to development of the first U. S. naval school on land.
 By 1851, this makeshift school became the United States Naval Academy, now one of the largest and most efficient in the world. For four years, during. the Civil War, the academy had to be moved to Newport, R. l., but it gained a vigorous lease on life with it's return in 1865 and the appointment of Rear Admiral, later Vice Admiral, David D. Por- ter. A view of the academy ap- pears on the new Scent navy stamp.

She knew that Betty realized something had happened to her during the time they were parted. And eventually she must confide to her friend - but not now. It was all too close and too painful now.
 Grateful that the table lamp was amber and dimly shaded, she watched the dancers, picked out Howison and Betty from among them. Plainly, they were falling really in love with one another. It had been apparent from that moment in the coast guard cut ter'S stateroom.

Brain TwizzIers By Prot. J. D. Flint

Today's problem stands with the time-honored amusement problems of the world. So many requests have come for this problem that we now present it.
 A farmer was returning from the market on very wet and stormy day. He had with him fox, duck, and 6 basket of corn.
 As the farmer approached the left fork of the little creek which he had to cross he found that the bridge had washed out. A little, leaky boat was at hand which would allow him to take one of his three burdens at a time across but he had to be careful not to have the wrong two together for fear the yox might eat the duck or the duck Bat the corn. How can he work it Dut2

soap Iather which results from the
first cleansing. Whether to use a
latherless cream or soap is large
ly a matter Of taste, though it is
said that the Iatherlcss creams are
slower in their softening action
than the soap.
Purpose Of Preparation
The purposes Of preparation are
(1) to modify the hard condition Of
the hair shaft, (2) fabrication of
the razor blade, (3) providing a
stiff supporting medium for the
hairshaft so the razor can attack
it. protection of the skin from cuts
and bruises, and securing the anti
septic action of the soap.
The second part of The prepara-
ton should require two and a half
minutes. u
Begin shaving by wetting the
razor. Both the razor and the
face should be wet all the time.
Razor blade sharpness and the
shaving angle are. the most impor-
tant items in comfort. An angle
Of about Is. degrees is the best for
most people, but there are individ-
ual variations.
For a representative face two
notifications are suggested: the
use Of cold water for lathering and
the use Of a "cool" shaving soap
i. e., one having menthol in it,.
The use of lotion following
shaving is to control small points
of bleeding, to provide an antisep-
tic and astringent action, and to
replace a protective covering re-
moved by the disappearance OF fat
and skin debris by the preparation.
Talcun1 powder does the last we'll:
Discomfort and the production OF
a tender face during shaving is due
TO az dull blades, (2) the adoption
Of an innprover shaving angle OF

preparation, az stretching the
skin too much, 60 going against
the grain.
