sterling character and to the acqui-

The Nations and the worlds hope
is in the young people who have had
the good sense to make ready. in
body and in spirit, for the testing
times ahead OF all the clever
schemes OF Hitler, none has been
wiser or more successful than the
training of the country's young
people in health, in manuel skill
and in the discipline of NaZis. Their
goal is wrong, but their method is
right.
Like the Prodigal, youth is in

Because a son IS son. and not a
slave, it is his privilege TO play the
fool. He may destroy the happiness
of the family circle-Or he may en-

at ones best is this one of impartlng
pride and JOY to parents.
Let us not be miSled by the Wv
idness of the role of the Prodigal:
the number of clean. steady, loyal
and affectionate sons is far greater
than that of the WastrelS. Not all
of the reStive boys go into the far

The really sophisticated youth per-
ceives what fool is his companion
who breaks with the sure past and
goes gaily into the far country of
dissipation and of conformity to the
lower levels of life.
The Near Ear Country"
This far country" where the af-
fluent Prodigal, with easily bought
friendships and self Indulgence, soon
became hungry outcast, is not far
from everywhere. The grim truth is
that it may trap the stumbling feet
of all the unWary. There are pen
niless, ragged derelicts on New
York's Bowery tonight who, a few
years ago. sat in their own private
offices. prosperous and powerful.
There, but for the grace OF God.
hangs John Newman
Like many another since, the
Prodigal had to have his life
stripped OF possessions before he
realized the bleakneSs and misery
of the 'far country In poverty,
hunger and loneliness, ne pitied
himself. He was sorry for himself
and not for his sins. very common
error. His stomach yearned for
the full platters of the servants
quarters in the old home before
ever he gave thought to his lonely
father. Self-pity is not repentance,
but its commoneSt imitation.
Repentance means doing some
thing about it. When he finally
aWoke TO a sense of his sin against
his father and against heaven, then
the Prodigal repented and turned
toward home In new humility
which sat strangely upon this once
sell confident WaSter, he resolved
to ask only for the servants lot in
his fathers house. He knew he had
forfeited his filial rights. But the
fathers love was greater than he
knew.
Sordid and selfish as is the record
of the Prodigal. even in his first re-
turn in mind to the ancestral home
there was yet noble self hidden
beneath the rags that covered him
Not for nothing was he his father
son. There is a divine spark in
even the most debased man. Stirred
into flame, it lights the way home
from every far country. Our best
self is our real self Count your
highest moment your trueSt," said
Phillips Brooks.
At the root of the Prodigals re-
pentance and return was his faith
in his father. He had undereSti-
mated this, just as all of us place
too low a value upon the love and
care of God. Had the headstrong
young man fully realized the nature
of his father. he never would have
left the family roof-tree If only
We understood God better the daily
trek toward the far country and its
short pleasures and long miserieS
would be vastly diminished. No
counsel in these perplexing times is
more practical than the Scripture
