' BUSINESS LAST MONTH WELL
DISTRIBUTED
the best busi
ness map of our country for last
month that they have given us for
many moons.
it can hot be called u good map,
yet it shows less bad than we have
been having. Comparing it with a
year ago, when there were 10 big
black spots, meaning poor business
conditions, shown, some covering al-'
most entire States; at the same time
they showed a relatively large area
of white, indicating fine business con
ditions. Especially is this notable of
southern Florida. The unbalanced con
ditions of a year ago were all found
in the eastern half of the United
States; both the best and the worst
were found there, while the general
even, or fair, business condition ex
tended over the entire western half
ot the country.
Now the fair condition covers the
entire nation except a small section
around Detroit and. Chicago.
The trend of business conditions to
ward a common level is always a re
lief to any section. It enables one
community to exchange its commodi
ties on a fair basis for the products
of other communities without having
to pay' ah unreasonable exchange.
With cotton swinging lower and
lower every day, there is danger of a
slump in the cotton belt.
BEST REFORMATORY IS CHRIS
TIAN FAMILY'S. PARLOR
Lots of folks arc talking these days
about bad children, bad boys and
girls, and bad men and women. It
is the old folks' fault. They are try
ing to do too much for their children,
but it is the wrong kind of doing.
Father Zeller, a German preacher,
said in 1827, "The Christian family
parlor is the best reformatory." The
family parlor has been banished, and
a parked automobile substituted.
Pastor Brown, who worked among
indigent children, said, 76 years ago,
that "children should be as much as
possible kept in the presence of rel
atives and neighbors among whom
Providence has placed them." But
such is not the case; generally the
contrary is true, and the voice of
strangers too often allures them. Es
pecially is it true in the time of life
which may well be called the critical
age.
It must be admitted that the wild
ways of the seashore life and the con
stant driving of automobiles are great
for dulling the modesty of girlhood;
the very nature of which drifts so
ciety a notch lower.
Make your first visit to such places
and you will see things that you have
been warned against by mother and
father. Then keep honest tab on
yourself and see how easy it is to
" drift, drift, drift downward.
Nothing real radical can be done.
The current is too strong. It would
be foolish to try to abandon the
beaehce, and we can not abolish the
Mttoiaobiles and many other thing*
which may make it hard in thia mod-1
era age to preserve our common de

MEXICAN PEOPLE BEGINNING
TO BE ENLIGHTENED
Mexico, which is charged by the
Catholic Church with governmental
discrimination, seems not to lie guilty
r «
of any such charge*
That is to say, the Mexican govern
ment welcomes the words and love of
the Master in the hearts of her peo
ple. The government has recently
published and distributed! [>o,ooo cop
ies of the four gospels among its cit
izens.
The fuct is that conditions in that
country work a hardship on the Cath
olic Church, which has, for 300 years,
been the leading religion of that
country; and it ha* failed to educate
as much as one per cent of the popu
lation. Now, since new light has
come iii the Mexican life, naturally
it is hard for the Mexican to divide
Church and State in his mind, and his
tight is not against the church but
rather against the I old form of gov
ernment.
Under the democracy of Calles
they see new opportunities that the
old fo.rms of government did not per
mit. Now they see educational equal-1
ity and opportunities which neither
government nor church bestowed up
on them for three centuries. Not on
ly does it mean a better Mexican gov
ernment but it means a more useful
Catholic Church in Mexico.

Things To
hink About
By JAMBS D. TAYLOR
ATTEND SUNDAY SCHOOL
Why is it that so many of us sit
around on Sunday mornings and read
the paper* and smoke, too lazy to
shave and attend Sunday school? One
reason is because some of us look on
Sunday school as being something for
-
women, children, and weaklings. But
those who fail to take a part in this
important branch of the Lord's work
are weaklings indeed.
k is most important that children
attend . regularly,* for no young man
or woman has a foundation strong
enough to stand up against the hard
problems of life unless they have had
Christian training. Where can a bet
ter training be obtained than in the
Sunday school? Watch the young
boys and girls who regularly attend
their classes and you will see them
grow in personality, character, and
intellectual power. Why should not
this continue to adult life, to middle
age, and even to old age? It can be,
but the influence of the church and
Sunday school will be needed.
So if you are among those who
think that the Sunday school is for
women, children, and weaklings, you
■'
are thinking wrong. The Sunday
school is for you. It needs you and
everybody else, and everybody needs
to go to this school.
Get up early next Sunday and take
the whole family to church for the
Sunday school exercises. If your
school is small and there is no class
in which you will fit, start one for
people about your own age. And then
work for that class. We are usually
happy when we are busy, especially
when we are doing good work.
Go to Sunday school.
