The difference between a good and bad reputation is that the former is easily lost. The trend of civilization Is encom passing the earth. China faces a 150.000.000 deficit. Financial experts making a study of tlie German mark marvel nt how It has grown In the last four years. We often wonder how Simon Le gree was on getting his small chil dren. if any, to wash their wrists. A spinster of Boston, at the age of one hundred, says she detests men. But how does she know she does? Girls on Mars have six legs, we hear. So a trapeze performer on Mors hardly ever misses u catch. Next to an eyewitness’ account, nothing is ns apt to be wrong as the average "Glossary of Crook Jargon.” An optimistic way to look at the new smaller currency is to realize that it provides less harboring space for germs. There’s a big difference between a match safe and a safe match. Girls who carry the lirst are not always the second. .Men’s undergarments are taking on a feminine giddiness. Merely some thing else for a girl to borrow from tier brother. We are quite sure some of the girls haven’t the least idea of the humor there is In a well-exposed pair of knock knees.

Asa matter of polite deference Mus solini might arrange to have the king of Italy’s name in public print, at least, half as many times ns his own appears. When a European opera company comes to America it usually finds that “jazz” is a force to be reckoned with. Anew musical art is unmistakably in evidence. Scientists are now practically In agreement that the universe has boun daries. This means, of course, that the subdivisions will eventually have to stop somewhere. Edison says we don’t know n "mil lionth of 1 per cent about anything.” That’s why so many people can get away with so much talk. Nobody can point out their errors. Several big sellers now in the non fiction class attempt to tell Inexperi enced readers how to think. Recall ing (lie young man in, “Helen of Troy, N. \\," who said.

Asa rule, when the energetic pro motor of any of the numerous Bat ties of the Century announces that there are a few seats left, here anc there, he means 27,000. We hop? that whoever makes up a dictionary of "American” language will exclude at least two mongrel verbs: “intrigue” and “suicide.” After a youthful aviator has been in the public eye a month or two we suppose he looks up that word “intrepid” to see if it is all right. Too Much Selfish Employment of Religion for Personal Comfort By REV. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK (Baptist), New York. RELIGION, like love, can be utterly selfish. Love gives and love wants. There are always two sides to it, and a love where the one side overbalances the other side can be disastrously ruinous. Even mother love can be a destroying angel. I 1 or what some mothers mean when they say “I love him,” is “I want him; I will not let him be anybody else’s but mine.” More than one young man has poured out to me the story of a blasted life, and the cause, strangely enough, was a loving mother. For when love becomes selfish it can do more damage than hate. So it is with religion, for religion has comfortable aspects. It is easy to get religion for comfort only. A man can love his family primarily for what he gets out of it. A man can love his country primarily for what he gets out of it. A man can love a friend and squeeze him like an orange into his cup, and a man can love God for what there is in it. There is a lot of that kind of religion today. Some of our most prominent modern cults face the tremendous temptation to be religious for comfort only. It is dreadful to he really irreligious, to think that creation has no spiritual origin, meaning or destiny, that the creative power cares no more for us than the weather for the grass. One flees from the Arctic cold of irreligion to the gracious warmth of faith in God and Ill's goodness and to the comfortable and sustaining power of His fellowship. If I did not believe in missions for any other reason I would be lieve in them because they keep alive the heroic tradition of a sacrificial Christianity. They do at least challenge our easy consciences with the conviction that Christ came to get some great business done on earth and that it costs to do it. Nation Can Have No Greater Concern Than Development of Its Youth By OSCAR LEONARD, B’nai B’rith Leader. The problem of American Jewry, in common with that of America itself, is that of its youth. The greatest concern of any people must be its youth, because that is its future. But this is truer of Jews, since we are a minority group. We must do something to save the Jewish youth for the Jewish people. We must give them something of the ideals which have animated our people through the ages. Eor a time we were so busy finding our place in America that we almost forgot our youth, and particularly our intellectuals. The result being that many of them left us, or were about to leave us. It was Prof. Chauncey Baldwin, a prominent Christian at the University of Illinois, who called the attention of the B’nai B’rith to this peculiar situation The B’nai B’rith, with its record of more than four score years of serv ice, took up this work first in Illinois. The B’nai B’rith Hillel founda tion was established there. This work was so successful that requests came from other universities for similar foundations. Where established, the foundation gives Jewish university students the opportunities to meet together for social, spiritual and intellectual purposes. Medical Profession Must Find Methods of Giv ing Proper Care to the Needy By DR. MALCOLM M. HARRIS, Chicago. Unless the medical profession adopts methods of earing for needy patients the medical foundation societies will. This will be to the detri ment of the profession. Millions of dollars are being endowed to founda tions. The doctors in them work on salaries. The idea is advanced that the patients are patients, first of the hospital, second of the doctor. It is the belief of the people that the medical profession is charging prices so high as to make its services available only to the rich, that it is failing to fulfill its obligations. The people are providing this other method. Exorbitant charges by surgeons are crimes against society. No physi cian, no matter how eminent, is justified in making such charges. Charges must be fair, honorable and just. They must not be greater than the financial status of the patient justifies. County medical societies should include every reputable physician and should create institutions for the care of persons of slight means, with every physician pledging a certain amount of time to the institu tion. Only persons of limited means would be treated and they would pay according to their means. Faith in Mankind and Belief in God Inseparable, Though Not Easy By DR. CHARLES F. WISHART, President Wooster College. Christianity is committed to fundamental faith in man and encour ages men to see submerged possibilities in the most insignificant human through the power of Christ in their lives. “Honor All Men” is the very essence of Christianity. Belief in God and belief in man are inseparable A thorough belief in man is manifestly not easy. In fact, it is not much easier than a belief in God. It takes a great soul to believe in God. It is about the largest achievement of the human spirit. Next to that is belief in man. It takes a great man to sense the greatness of all men, to work your way down beneath the overlay of circumstances, the appar ent limitations, the puzzling inconsistencies, below the commonplace and the vulgar and the banal, and to appreciate the splendor, the trag edy, the majesty of humanity that is the achievement of a great soul! Christianity is firmly committed to a fundamental faith in man. It views man not at all with blind eyes. In the deepest, truest sense, we may say that we dare not wait to love men until we know them. We must love them in order to know them. Grave Necessity for Reorganization of Govern ment in United States By DEAN WALTER J. SHEPARD, Ohio State University. If democracy is to survive under the present complex industrial sys tem, and America is to avoid falling back on a centralized dictatorship as have several European countries, the government must be fundamen tally reorganized along functional and group lines, rather than on geo graphical lines. We are attempting to operate a Twentieth-century indus trial system with an Eighteenth-century scheme of industrial control. Wc have advanced by leaps and bounds in the field of industrial technique and organization. We have lagged far behind in the necessary social and political adjustments which such industrial transformation requires. THE ROCKDALE RECORD, Conyers, Ga., Wed., May 1, 1929. OLD FOLKS SAY § DR. CALDWELL j WAS RIGHT I Tho basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical College in 1875, nor since he placed on the market the laxative prescription he had used in his practice. He treated constipation, biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a combination of _ senna and other mild herbs, with pepsin. The simpler the remedy for constipa tion, the safer for the child and for you. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs? A bottle will last several months, and all can use it. It is pleasant to the taste, gentle in action, and free from narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal. All drug stores have the generous bottles, or write “Syfrup Pepsin,” Dept. 88, Monticello, Illinois, for free trial bottle. TCNBOILS J ENDED—NO LANCING V -K.

PRIMARY TOPIC— Finding a Lost TOPIC— Finding a Lost B INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC— Discovering a Guidebook. „, np YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP 1C The Bible in National Life. I. The Book of the Law Found (vv. 14-17). 1. The occasion (v. 14). It was while restoring the temple during Josiah’s reformation that the Book of the Law was discovered. No doubt, in clearing out the dark corners to make repairs and to find a place to store the subscriptions made by the people, many things which had been lost were found, among which was the law. This was “the law of the Lord given by Moses.” 2. The book delivered to the king (vv. 15-17). In a report of the work, the king was informed of the finding of the Book of the Law by Hilkiah, and the book was delivered to him. 11. The Effect of the Reading of the Law (vv. 18-2S). Shaphan, the scribe, read the law before the king. 1. The king rent his clothes (v. 19). As the law was read before him, the king was led to realize the awful extent of the nation’s departure from God. He knew that sin merited pun ishment. The function of the law is to reveal sin. The rending of the royal robes indicated that tlie king was penitent and sorrowful. 2. The king sent a deputation to make inquiry of the Lord (vv. 20, 23). The king included himself in guilt before God. “Go inquire for me and for them that are left—for great Is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out upon us.” His sense of sin was so keen that he sent to inquire of the Lord as to whether there was any means of diverting the divine judg ments. Instinctively, the human heart turns from God’s threatening judg ments to a means of escape. The soul that sorrows for sin inquires for a way of escape. The law prepared for the gospel. The law is our school master to bring us to Christ (Gal. 3:24). 3. The message of Huldah, the prophetess (vv. 22-28). (1) Confirmation of what the law said (vv. 22-25). She said that all the curses written in the law must fall, for the sins had been so flagrant that God’s wrath could not be restrained. Destruction was hanging over Jerusalem and it was too late to avert it. It was not too late, however, to repent and to ob tain mercy from God, but the outward consequences of sin must be realized. Fulfillment of this is found on every hand today. The murderer must hang. (2) Acceptance of Josiah’s repent ance (vv. 26-28). Because of bis tenderness of heart and deep penitence, the Lord said he should be gathered to his grave in peace and should not see all the evil to be brought on Jerusalem and its people. What Huldah said was true, even though Josiah died In battle (35:23-25). When God accepts a man and forgives him, his death is a peaceful one, even though it may be on the battlefield. God’s presence is with him, therefore he will go straight from the battlefield to the heavenly home. 111. The Law Obeyed (vv. 29-33). 1. The king read the law (vv. 29, 30). He gathered together the Inhabit ants of Jerusalem, including the priests, Levites and eiders, and read unto them the law. 2. The king made a covenant before the Lord to keep His commandments and testimonies (vv. 31, 32). In this covenant he pledged himself to do three things: (1) To walk before the Lord (v. 31). Tltis meant that he would get person ally right with God. (2) To keep God’s commandments, i testimonies and statutes with all his heart and soul (v. 31). To read the law is not enough. Its holy require ments must be obeyed. (3) To perform the words of the covenant, which were written in the book (v. 31). This was done sincere ly and he caused all that were pres ent "to stand to it.” . 3. Tlie king took away the abomina tions out of all the countries which pertained to Israel (v. 33). All the days of the king they departed not from following after the Lord, the God of their fathers. The Camel and the Rich Man And Jesus looked round about, and said unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God ! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a ricli man to enter iDtO ,Ile kingdom of God.—Mark 10: 23-20.
