NAVY YBEN|EFITS NUMEROUS BOYS
Career Offers Young 0rad- uates Honorable Posi-.
  ton in Life

The young men all over, the coun- try who graduated from school last month, and are now for the first time faced with the problem of the future, and of finding life work of some sort, should not forget the U. s. Navy, and the benefits 1t of- fers to those able to get in, accord ing to Chief Electricians Mate John W. McGibbon, of the local recruit ing oface.
 The navy is an organization that, because of its very nature, will con- tinue to exist in the future. How many other fields are there which we can feel sure will continue to offer opportunities twenty, thirty and fifty years from now2
 The U. s. Navy, as a career, offers an honorable position in life. Be- cause the navy's chief duty is to de- fend the country's interests at home and on the seven seas, and because such highly technical training is re- quired to operate the ships of the navy, the men in 1t must be care- fully selected and only the highest type of ambitious young Americans are allowed to enlist. The man who joins the navy today finds only clean-cut industrious young men for his associates.
 To the ambitious young men who wish to make the navy their career, or to better fit themselves for a career in civilian life after four years in the service, the navy offers a wide opportunity for mental and physical development and uven- hood difficult to equal.
 A young man enlisting in the navy spends the first three months of his life there in learning the funda- mentals of navy life and discipline. At the training station, he is taught self-reliance, as well as such bene- ficial things as rowing, sailing, swimming, life saving. He is too busy to be homesick. He gets plenty of exercise, fresh air, good food, regular hours for rest, and will emerge from the training station a healthy, robust man. Before leaving he is given certain scientific tests to determine the line of work for which he is best suited. Experienced officers talk with him and endeavor to learn his aims and ambitions. If man expresses a desire to become mechanic, for example, and his mechanical aptitude test shows that mechanical aptitude test shows he has natural ability for this trade, he is given consideration on a com petitive basis with other recruits for special training in one of the schools.

Q. Are the Congregational and Christian churches two different denominations? If not, when did they unite?
 A. Congregational c churches h date back to the Pilgrim Fathers and the early colony of New Eng land In 1920. The Christian churches date back to the Wes- leyan and Revival Movement at the end of the 18th century.

Joshua: A Choice of Loyalties
Text: Joshua 1926; 24:14-2l.

with no vital decision, and he calls upon them to realize that they must decide either for Jehovah and the religion of purer ideals, or for the false gods and the practices as- sociated with their worship. & P
 Aroused by this plain challenge, the people repounce the idea that they would forsake Jehovah to serve other gods, but this is not enough for Joshua. He does. not want sentimental or pious profess sion. What he wants is a clear sense of what 1t means to serve Jehovah. That service means the renuncia- tion of sin and unrighteousness. It means the giving of ones heart and will to the cause of truth and the welfare of Israel.
 Times have changed but the old issues remain, and the challenge of Joshua, or of some equally prophetic leader of today, is as keen and vital as ever.
 The welfare of America-as much as the. welfare of ancient Israel depends upon clear, definite, and moral choice on the part of those who would serve God and the cOmmonWeal.

 In the dramatic story of the en- trance of the children of Israel into the Promised Land and the conquest of Canaan, Jehovah is represented as calling Jesus in succession to Moses and con- manding him to lead the people over Jordan. F. a-.e'' -rris ''.s It is easy for man to say that he is called of God or that God has spoken to him, but what proof is there of the claim? The profo is in the evidence of a mans life and work; and in all history, no man could be said to have given clearer evidence of a divine call and the devine blessing than Moses, the great leader, and Joshua, his suc- ceSSor. t,.
 It was not by chance that the task of. continuing the work of Moses. with all its honor and its responsibility, fell upon Joshua. We have the picture of him as one of the twelve going up to spy the land which the children, of Israel were seeking to enter. Ten of these twelvespies returned with discour- aging and fear-stricken stories. The land was peopled by great and strong enemies, and there was no possibility of 1, the Israelites being able to conquer 1t. But two men, Joshua and Caleb, had different report. They emphasized the rich ness of the land which awaited the people and they said, We are well able to possess It." .,'
 It was in this clear faith that Joshua accepted his leadership, and 1t was in the expression of his own spirit that, he passed on to the peo- pie the admonition that had come to him, to be strong and of good courage.
 But Joshua saw the people them- selves weakened by their own lack of faith and by the immortality that prevailed among them. The wor- shipping of false gods on the part VI tAAC "AokuSAAVCo WPS AVV AiCACAy d matter of setting up other images. It meant that moral decay of the pjeople and. their lapse int oevil practices that were associated with the worship of these false gods. Sur rounded by pagan peoples whose religion lacked the emphasis upon righteousness and the moral vir- tues, emerging in the monotheistic faith of Israel, there was & constant tendency for social corruption to lay hold of the Israelites, sapping the ideals and visions that their prophetic leaders ever sought to in- culcate.
 It is in this situation that Joshua stands forth and makes . demand upon the people for . definite choice in the matter of royalties. He sees them drifting into. svik practices
