POST OFFICE BOX II

G. M.-While visiting my aunt
l met a boy at a dance and we
seemed to enjoy ourselves that
night. A few days later I met him
on the street and he asked if he
could be my friend. I said yes.
The short time was there we were
very happy together. The subject
of marriage came up and I told him
l loved him so much that I would
marry him so fast that he wouldn't
know what had happened. He and
I decided that I should see my par
ents first. I went home and when
1 came back, I found him living
with another girl. I haven't even
seen him at a distance. What am
I to do?
Ans.-Brush your tears away and
be forever thankful that you found
out the true character of this man
before you married him. There is
no doubt but that you took the
affair too seriously from the start
as the boy was not interested in
getting married. You haven't lost
anything but you have learned that
a man with honorable intentions
will not bring up marriage and
then try to side-track out of it by
putting it off as the fellow you
have in mind did.
M. M. CT saw an ad in the
paper saying that if you come to
California you can get a job MAX
ing go cents an hour and more and
I want to know if my husband and
1 quit and go out there, will we be
successful?
Ans.-In your particular case, the
change wouldn't be at all beneficial.

MINISTER'S URGE YOUTH

Continued from Page y
Our responsibility is recognized in
the increasing number of COM
plants of the conduct of our young
people in public places. One of the
most important lessons which
young people have to learn is self
control. The young person who is
without self-control does at every
moment just what he feels like do
ing.
"Self-control should be exercised,
especially in public places. Chris
tian young people would do well to
remember the words of Jesus, 'Ye
are the light of the world Christ
means that you must be light for
your unsaved friends, therefore
your conduct must be above re-
proach. Again He said, 'Ye are
the salt of the earth Christian
young people must season the So
ciety that they are a part of. If
the Christian youth would do as
Jesus has said, we would not have
the many complaints registered
against the youth of st. Paul.
$50, young people, be careful of
your behavior when you attend the
movies, roller rink, street cars and
on the streets. For when young
people deport themselves unbecom-
ingly, they reflect their home train
ing. Also it places a question mark
after their Christianity. I have a
profound faith in the loyalty of the
youth of st. Paul, and since this
matter of the conduct of certain
young people has not been as we
would like it or as it should be, and
the'matter has been brought to the
attention of the youth, I feel that
the Christian young people will
do all in their power to remedy this
situation"
Rev. S. E. Ware told Sunday
afternoon audience good conduct
came from the heart, in an inter-
esting address with Charm and
Good Conduct" as his subject.

the same area on December 8,

Creeknore said photographs of
an authenticated woman found in
an abandoned cabin near where
