erhood. Our knowledge and SYM
pathy must comprehend the earth
more swiftly than the airplane's
passage. 1t took me a whole year
to make my first journey around
the world; now it is being done in a
few days.
Grow! Crow! Grow!!!
Night and day wars events are
dinning into our ears the vital mes
sage, you've got to grow up!" Lit
tleness has been the blight upon us.
We need bigger caliber in our guns,
but far more desperately do we need
bigger caliber in our men. Every
one of us has got to expand in all
the qualities that constitute real
life. J. G. Hollands familiar lines
are pertinent:
God give us men! A time like
this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true
faith and ready hands:
Men whom the lust of Office does
not kill:
Men whom the spoils of office can
not buy;
Men who possess opinions and
will;
Men who have honor; men who
will not lie;
Men who can stand before a dema-
gogue
And damn. his treacherous fiat
teries without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live
above the fog;
In public duty and in private

Boys are enamored of the char
acter of "Superman," dimly per-
ceiving, through youths romantic
eyes, that greater power and nobler
purpose benefit human life. Discon-
tent with our meager powers and
accomplishments is we'll expressed
in a light poem, Tame Ducks"
by Kenneth Kaufman:
There are three tame ducks In
my back yard.
Dabbling in mud and trying hard
To get their share and maybe more
OF the overfowing barnyard store,
Satisfied with the task they're at.
OF eating and sleeping and getting
fat.
But whenever the free wild ducks 20
by
In long line streaming down the
sky
They cock quizzical, puzzled eve
And flap their wings and try to
fly.
Il think my soul is tame old
duck,
Dabbling around in barnyard muck.
Fat and lazy with useless wings.
But sometimes when the North wind
sings
And the wild ones hurtle over head
1t remembers something lost and
dead,
And cocks weary, bewildered eye,
And makes feeble attempt to fly.

It's fairly content with the state
it's in,
But it isn't the duck it might have
BEEN"
Stunted Saints.
Christianity demands growth
1t Is not static, but a progress.
Stagnant saints, who subsist on a
stale religious experience, not only
breed mosquitoes Of irritation, but
they also deny the living waters"
of the Gospel. All the program of
the Scriptures is of progress, eventu-
ating in the glory of the perfect
life in the celestial city. The Chris
tan who is not growing, day by
day and year by year, in the char
acter of his Master has simply not
learned Christ. AS the boy Jesus
advanced in wisdom and stature,
and in favor with God and man"
so all who have named His Name
are to progress intellectually, phys
ically and spiritually. No victories
can be won for the Kingdom of
God by stunting saints, victims of
arrested character development.
Growth is normal. For many
years there was marked on the wall
OF a room in our home, beside a
door, the growth of our three chill
dren. 1t was priceless record of
normal progress and rue the day
when a paper-hanger covered it
over. Naturally, it symbolized growth
in mind, body and spirit. I wonder
If I would like to see a similar
record of my own spiritual state
throughout the years.
Schoolmaster Peter.
Callous-handed crude and ig-
norant, Fisherman Peter became a
wise teacher, a noble orator and a
sage leader. That is what Chris
tlanlty does for men. 1t is worth
pondering, in passing, what an edu-
cational and enlarging influence the
religion of Jesus has been upon
ordinary folk throughout the ages.
There is that about the Spirit of
Jesus which quickens life's best i'm
pulses, and which, indeed, has es-
tablished the historic halls of learn
ing. Peter as teacher stands for
something profoundly significant.
Millions who have followed him into
the ministry have likewise de-
veloped capacities for an under
standing of life which they never
otherwise would have possessed.
Schoolmaster Peter, in our as
signed Scripture, gives a lesson in
addition, for, be it noted the Chris
ton life is problem in addition
and not in subtraction. He cites
eight qualities which the disciple
of Jesus should progressively pos
sess. The Greek text makes clear
that we are ito develop one virtue
in the exercise of another. Here
is the list:
Diligence-plain keeping busy
at it.
Virtue-force, vigor, virility; no
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Observation-Disclosures have got
to keep on learning. Religion is
emotion plus intelligence.
Self-control-the well-reined life
arrives.
Patience-not in a hurry with
self. with others or with God.
Godliness-in right relations with
Supreme Power.
Brotherly kindness-right rela-
tions with people.
Love-the crowning passion that
glorifles all of life.
With the sum of these virtues.
says Schoolmaster Peter, you will
be mot idle nor unfruitful unto the
knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ"
For He is the standard of all growth,
personal, social and intellectual.
The Sunday school lesson for
October 18 is "GrOwth in Christ"
Luke, ii.4O-52; Hebrews, VII
II; II Peter. i.1-8.
