When we add to the work of the

the evidences Of their really be-

young women, they need what
may be termed the basis of every
human being. This basis includes
love, security, a sense of belong
ing, self expression, and social
approval
Additional girl scout leaders are
being selected at Dunbar hi school
in order that the services of the
organization might be extended to
greater number Of high school
girls The senior girl scout pro-
gram offers many opportunities
for the teen ager that are not
offered by any other program
She gets help in learning how TO
become personally more attractive,
how to get along with others
more effectively. and how to
find time to relax from her busy
schedule of school activities and
varied other interests. The senior
scout activities will bring adven-
lures which she can't find else
where. She has the satisfaction
Of belonging to an organization that
mas high purpose and of accept
ing the challenge to live up to
that purpose.
Troop life offers girls many OPP
portunities for testing their skills
in living and working with others
and of growing in human rela-
tionships and self assurance.

From Each His Own

Christianity is today an interna-
tional religion, though it started
off as the religion Of few ASiatic
Jews. But Jesus was scarcely out
of his cradle before those men of
the East came, and they were the
first of a long line from every ma
ton and race in the world.
In America we think of Christian
ity as almost an American re-
ligion; but il is not Americans
have brought much to Christianity,
their energy, daring, pioneering
spirit, their practical slant on
everything, these have given to
Christianity in North America a
color" and style" all its own.
But we are not the only Chris
tians, perhaps not even the best
ones. There are Indian Christians,
and Chinese Christians; there are
Christians among the Eskimos and
Zulus. There is some Christianity
behind the Iron Curtain; IT is found
in Scotland. Sweden, Spain. Ell Sal.
vador.
And while we are all brothers
under the skin, the fact remains
that il takes all kinds Of Christians
to make the Christian world, and to
make the world Christian Our
missionaries DO not go out to make
American Christians; they 60 to
make Christians And every one
who comes to Christ brings some
thing which is specially his own.
AS Rev. John Monsell's hymn has
it:
Fear not TO enter His courts In
the slenderness
OF the poor wealth thou wouldst
reckon as thine:
Truth in its beauty. and love Ma
its tenderness,
These are the offerings to lay on
His shrine

Think what a difference it would
make, if suddenly every Christian

as well without being offered an

be built, existing churches would
fall into decay because no one
would pay for their repair land
free labor wouldn't do it. because
that too is form Of wealth.. Home
and foreign missions would come

Gifts to Christ
Lesson for December rs, 1852

XIyHAT the world brings to
w Christ is never to be COM
pared with what Christ brings the
world. Not all the Christmas gifts
that ever were, including those
given to the cause and in the name
of Jesus, equal a small part Of the
value of Jesus himself to the world,
Nevertheless, ever since the time
of the wise men from the east,
gifts have been brought and laid
at the feet of Christ, in one way or
another.

AS the years went by, the priests
of Anon grew in power. Rich gifts
were made to them by different
kings. The high priest Of Anon
came to think that he was as great
man as the king.
A strange mark Of that feeling is
found in an ancient picture. Usually
any picture of a king showed him
far taller than any one else near
him. Often the monarch was made
to look two or three times the size
of a priest or some one else.

Of Anon was allowed to collect some
