A reader wants to know if we can give

Never squeal when you get stung in a

0 TO CHCRCII
In the midst of a materialistic* age it
•a easy to forget Ood and ones obligations
to tiie church.
lots of people do not go to church regular
ly, and because of spasmodic attendance do
not get the best results..
Our mothers and fathers taught us to
go, encouraged us and set good examples
by going themselves.
Various and sundry reasons, or rather
excuses, are given for not going to the sanc
tuary regularly. None of them will hold good
iu the I-ord's sight.
The preaching of today surpasses any age
mt the world’s eoclestiasioal history. There is
very litie sleeping in church today. The
song services are snappy and attractive; the
preaching scholarly and Interesting, biblical
and orthodox. The members do their best
to stake the fellowship ideal.
The place you are to till and the Influence
you are to wield can be approximated by no
one else. Your place vacant means that one
of the wires is inoperative, and thus the
power all aloug the line is seriously weaken
ed. Clow* your eyes for a moment and try
to think of your (■♦immunity churchless. Hor
rible to even contemplate.
The preacher doesn’t come to set* you as
often as you think iu* should. Ho doesn’t
have time. Formerly a clerk in a store
could (alk with a customer and visit at
other stores. Now the times keep him busy.
So with tlic preacher who preaches. If you
just must see tlu* preacher, go to church
morning and evening on Sunday; to prayer
meeting on Wednesday, to various other meet
ings ou week days and nights.
Have ehurch pride. Help to the limit of
your ability to make your church the nest
anywhere, and it will take the combined
efforts of every single member to make each
church wlmt it should be.
DOROTHY DIX TALKS OF BABY VAMPS
Girls, are there* no more fresh-faced, clean
faced young girls, with the* elewy swee*tne*ss
f early morning upon them, and God’s own
roses blooming in their cheeks?
It has been my luck to twice cross the
continent this summer, and to he in many
cities and pleasant resorts, and everywhere
I have seen the* same shocking and grotesque
sight—young girls, still in their teens, who
were* gotte*n up like Jezebeds.
Little* girls with noses like marshmallows
protruding from faces so heavily calsomiueel
with powder they Were* as stiff as masques.
Little* young girls' cheeks as frankly painted
as any scarlet woman's. Little young girls
with lips that were* purple smears of gre*ase
paint. Little* young girls with e*ye lashes
built out of gobs of lamp black, the* way
Anna Held used to do hers when she sang,
“I Can't Make My Eyes Behave."
Now, I urn no prude who ohje*cts to paint
and peiweler on principle. On the contrary,
I think it a kindly and meritorious act for
every woman to make herself as easy to the
eyes of the beholder as she can. 1 sen* no
e*speciul virtue radiating from a shiny nose.
I even honor and respect the woman who
toadies up her lmir when it begins to fade,
and substitutes artificial roses for the ones
of which time has robbed her.
That is a case of art for art's sake, and
the result often justifies the means, hut when
a silly flapper paints herself up like a circus
wagon, she sins both against art and nature.
Believe me, little sisters, no girl ever com
mits a greater blunder than she does when
she fails to realize that youth and natural
ness are the greatest charm any woman ever
lias, and she has them for such a little time
that she is a three-ply idiot if she fails to
make the most of them. Perhaps, if she
knew that the thing that every mature woman
envies you, is a skin that doesn’t have to
Ik* plastered over with cosmetics, and eyes
that do not need to have shadows penciled
under them to make them bright, you would
not be so eager to hide your freshness nuder
the artifices of age.
Youth, just itself, is entrancing. The sat
iny. smooth skin, the color that ebbs and
flows with every motion, the eyes that look
with shy, wondering artlessness upon life,
endow a young girl with a subtle fascination
no older woman possesses.
All of this you throw into the discard when
you put on your hand-made complexion. No
blush can penetrate a layer of adamantine
“liquid white,” warranted not- to come off
or crack, nor can any made up eye look un
sophisticated.] Neither is any man set dream
ing of the sweetness .of a young maiden’s
first kiss when he can plainly see that the

said kiss will he flavored with lip salve.
Furthermore, my dear, the girl who makes
up, puts herself in tin* same class, so far'
as looks go, with the woman of forty, since
all <jrug store bertuty comes in similar pack
ages. Tills is supreme folly, because the
young girl lacks the ixiise, the social seftse,
the knowledge of men that the older woman
has. The young girl’s one best bet was just
her freshness, and she chucked that away
when she went in for the baby vamp stuff.
And you make another terrible mistake,
girls, when you pose as being worldly, wise
and wicked. Why. your greatest charm is
your innocence. Those of us that have seen
so much sorrow, so much sordidness, so much
that is hideous and rotton in life, those of
us who have known so many blighting dis
appointments. love yon because you have only
known the white things and the bright things,
anil biK-ause your faith in all that is good
and true is still unsullied.
A young girl who lias gone wrong is the
saddest sight on earth. A young girl who
is wise and disillusioned, and pessimistic,
hurts everyone who sees her. She is like
a soiled dove, or a lily that has been tramped
in the dust.
1 know it is the fashion now for young
girls to curse. They don't say, “Oh* Piffle’’
now when they stunp their little toes. They
come out with a good round aoth tha would
make a longshoreman green with envy. Don't
ilo it, girls. It may sound smart to you and
the callow crowd you are with, but it sounds
blasphemous to other people.
You see we have spent ages in weaving
a halo about girlhood. We have attributed
to it everything that is pure, and sweet and
innocent and lovely, and we cannot bear to
see our ideal smeared over with paint or
shatered with a big, big D.
The girl who looks as if she had been
reared on the streets instead of in a refined
home, and who curses and swears like a
truck driver, —she isn’t the kind of girl we
hope our little daughters will develop into
or our sons to marry.
Just listen to me a moment, dear little
flappers, you who are so innocent and don’t
know wimt you are doing; if you want to be
admired, if you want men in especial to
admire you, and if you want to catch a good
husband, go home and wash your faces.
Throw your make-up boxes out of the win
dows, and be just the simple, sweet, fresh,
natural young girls you really are, for you
are not as bad as you are painted.
Don’t make us have to depend for our in
genues on ladies of lorty, who are wearing
white muslin and blue ribbon, and aping the
artlessness that you despise, and the world
finds so alluring.—Dorothy Dix in Atlanta
Journal.
