Calvin Coolidge. addressing The
American Federtat : on of Art* and
The American Association cf Music,
said. “If clothes make the min, and
certainly pood dress gives one a
sense of self-respect and poise, how
<uch more is it true that clean,
beautiful surrounding- lend a moral
tone to a community?" And added,
“We are gradually getting rid of the
oppressive ugliness of our communi-
Oppressive ugliness: a good house
next to i shack; a beautiful lawn
with a vacant lot overgrown with
weeds adjacent; unsightly outbuild
ings; highway entrances cluttered up
with nondescript, claptrap, unpaint-
cd and otherwise obnoxious billboards
store signs of every sort, shape and
description protruding at all sorts
of angle- from store buildings—
•iortie high, some low—all derogatory
to any sense of attractiveness; poor
ly kept streets, open dumps, unpuint-
td buildings, a dilapidated square,
tin can alleys, visible pollution o*.
streams, and ugliest and most op
pressive of all—a citizenship with an
inferiority complex one devoid of
civic pride.
Oppressive ugliness is that which
makes residents of a community say,
“Oh. you won't mind that after
you’ve lived hire awhile"? and the
absence of which makes a Hunger
say, “I like this place."
Oppressive ugliness is that which
creates atmosphere. How often have
you gone into communities or mer
cantile eslablUhments and given ns
on foi
old
th.
place that there is no “atmosphere?"
Atmosphere is that which invites
or repels; atmosphere is the making
or losing of sale-, prestige and good
will.
Oppressive ugliness relates ma
terially to appearance. How does your
town look to u customer? Eighty per
cent of those things purchased today
are sold through, or influenced by
the eye. Therefore, how your town
or community looks is important.
This is the season of the year
when everything oppressive should
be annihilated. Nature is ready to
help make things attractive. Start
now to help take your town or com
munity to a good old-fashioned house
cleaning: dean it up—scrub it ur—
dres- it up—and keep it up!
Include yourself in the cleaning:
get rid of the mental cobwebs that
make everything about your place of
abode so commonplace. Rid your
self of the superstition and pre
judice that your town cannot bo as
modem, (attractive and interesting
ar any city anywhere.
Like life your town or community
is what you and the rest of the peo
ple like you work to make it. It is
Jeremiah 7:1-11, 21-23
REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE. D. D.~
It is good for any discouraged per
son to spend time with Jeremiah. He j
had been given a mission. No matter j
huw the people treated the messages j
that he was sent to deliver, he just
r-.mr right back at them when least |
expected. Read the entire chapter
and then keep right on through chap
ter ten; ali forms the message which
this rr.an presented at. this time. You
will find that Jeremiah was ahead of
his day in the use of parables ind
object lessons. People always pay
more attention to an object or a story
that relates to the subject matter
then under consideration.
Jeremiah was bold 3« un ambassa- 1
dor for he was not delivering his own
message. In the opening vcr. fc e to- '
day he makes it clear that he had :»
“word” to present from Jehovah.
This should have been enough to
make the people stop and listen. The .
place where the speaker took his}
stand is interesting. It wa- at the
gate entering into the temple in Jeru- '
salcm. No longer were the people ,
going therein to loam what they (
should do, that they might practise
the truths in their lives. Now Jere- j
miah tri'.*s to make them think right
ly about the temple as a place of .
worship and no refeard it as a kind
of a talisman which would be a- a !
charm to enable them to go out and ;
do just as they pleased.
“Amend your ways and your do
ings, and I will cause you to dwell in '
this place." Yes. That is just what I
he had aid before, but they had not j
paid any attention thereto, so they
must be i.ride to hear the same com
mand again. With this summons
there was a promise from Jehovah.
If the people would only obey, they
could continue in Jerusalem and
Judea and not be carried away into
captivity, as had been the case with
the Northern Ten Tribes.
It may be that the people tried to
drown out the voice of Jeremiah with
their slogan "The temple of Jeho
vah," for the very walls had become j
a kind of fetisch. That is the way |
the people of Ephesus did when they
cried for a length of time. “Great i ;
Diana of the Ephesians" at ’he time J
of Paul’s plain preaching of portin- j
ent truth.
Jeremiah would also use repetition ]
for the sake of emphasis. Hi-* wore
was “thoroughly" us he told them thi
extent to which they must give uj
their sins. These sins were named ir
part, and they have a social relation
ship. Wrong was being done to “hi:
neighbor, the sojourner, the father
less, and the widow." God is alway*
concerned for the defenceless and Hi
, make mankind love instead
of hate one another. By means of
i varied kinds of communications this
world is indeed a neighborhood, but
it is far from being a brotherhood,
such as our Jehovah desires.
Plainest language in used in giv
ing a list »f cu“omary sins. They
were named thieves, murderers
adulterers and makers of lies. There
was only one way they could stop
such things. It was not by offering
more sacrifices. They were remind
ed of the loving command that had
been given when they were being j
called "ut of Egyptian slavery. It '
was "Hearken untc my voice." The ,
call of Jeremiah was none other than ■
a renewal of thi9 Voice from the ;
Throne. It was about the last call
that would be- given, and yet it was '
not too late. Right now they must
“Amend your ways thoroughly." A
like urgent call, coupled with a b!cs«- J
ed promise comes to every present
day -inner, if and when we will
meet the conditions, and they
reasonable, God will fully do his part
in keeping the covenant.
A SERIOUS CHANGE

Lrnmmeeburtr. Ky.—“At a time In
my life, when my health was under
going a serious change." says Mrs.
J. C. Ray, who lives near here, 'T
found Cardui to be of the greatest
benefit to me. I was seriously 111
for about two months, and for sev
eral months I was not well. My
nerves were all unstrung. I could
not bear the least noise around me.
I could not sleep
“My head ached until It seemed
as if it would burst. My feet and
limbs swelled dreadfully. I felt
tired all the time. When I wa3 up,
I dragged around the house, but
most of the time I spentaon the bed.
“I got Cardui and began taking!it
regularly. Very soon I could see
tliat it was helping me. I began to
sleep botUv and eat more. The
awful nervousness got better.
“When I had finished the first
fcottle, I was much better than I
had been for many weeks. I was
so encouraged that I kept right on.
Before very long I was doing all
my housework and was feeling quite
well.*'

When
Buddy Wants
“Sumfin”
EE, Mummy, I'm most starved! Give
vJ me sumfin to eat, won't you,
Mummy?”
How often have you heard that? Once a
day at least? And you spread a piece of bread
with good, fresh butter—and maybe some
jam — with a glass of rich, fresh milk to make
it a really nourishing “sumfin” that Buddy
gets. At least you hope the butter and milk
are perfectly fresh — or know they arc if
you have a General Electric Refrigerator.
There is a world of sat*
isfaction in having this
assurance that the milk,
butter, eggs, fresh fruits,
“left-overs,” ct cetera,
that descend into Buddy's
ravenous “innards” are
fresh and unspoiled.
Food infection is danger-
ous—and only such con'
stant dry cold as you get
with a General Electric
Refrigerator offers sure
protection against the dangers of food contamina'
tion.
There are other reasons for preferring this re-
frigerator cf the future, of course—mechanical dc-
tails of perfection such as the enclosed mechanism,
scaled against dirt and moisture, and elimination of
oiling—convenience—sanitation—economy of oper
ation—freedom from repair expense ....
Wc’li be glad to explain all these details to you if
you will come to our nearest store for a deinonstra'
tion. You really can't order such personalized equip'
mer.t from a picture or a written description. You
will want to see the various models and choose the
one best suited to your needs—and your budget.
So come in soon—the sooner the better, for these
unusually attractive terms are for a limited time only.
