U came up to great hours of duty and opportunity with empty lamp?. . Broad !v surveying our present time the criticism may soberly be written that the world's leadership in state craft, economics, industry, education and religion, is not making ready for the era upon which mankind is enter ing. Opportunism and obscurantism sit in the seats of authority. "Forward-looking" men and women seem rare in the high places.

A friend, who is one of the real itatesmcn in the affairs of the king dom of God, told me that he has just returned from an international Interde nominational meeting of missionary of ficials, where he heard no word con cerning trie present crisis, no propnet note as to now duties, no concern for rar-1arn conditions. Routine organi sation matters chiefly occupied the the nf the meeting. That an hour of reconstruction is dawning for all the world at nn time appeared throughout the meeting.

The SJ er,C,rlS' with the late Louise Imogen Guiney, . l ' t - "A short, life in the saddle, Lord, i ot long life hy the fire." A to Modern YOutfi Sage gulders of youth will spare no pains to drive home the truth that this ls peculiarly a time to make ready for life, by real efficiency. Fit bodies, fit minds, fit spirits are as much a duty as they were for recruits in the army. All young people need graven on their hearts the motto of the Boy Scouts, Be Prepared!" No boy or girl is edu cated today who is not proficient in a knowledge of present world conditions, and in some trade or art or calling that will provide self-support and human service ln whatever changed conditions may arise. Let us develop a measure of pride in ability to do things and of contempt for the mere idler; the 'lounge lizard" and "vampire" type of youth. A girl should be prouder of her knowledge of needlework. than of her familiarity with screen characters; of her ability to buy and cook and serve a good meal than of her' skill at dancing. The boy who never dug a garden or mendeft me piumDing or cared for fires eco nomically should be more ashamed of himself than the boy( who never owned a tuxedo coat or dined in a city hotel or "touched" his "old man" for money to" spend on cigarettes and sundaes. Ready For the Great Hoar To be ready for life is also to be ready for death. Preparedness in small things is the s,ure way to prepared ness for the large. Great hours come to those who are fit for the common place minutes. It was only a matter of lack of oil In their lamps a trifling evidence of carefulness and prevision that .hindered the foolish virgins from. being ready for the great event of the wedding. To be fit for the day is to be fit, for destiny; for no person can tell when his opportunity will arrive with a shout, "Behold, the bridegroom cometh!" "If only we strive to foe pure and true, ' To eadh of us will come an hour, When the tree of life shall burst Into - flower, . ' And rain at our feet a glorious dower Of something . grander than ever we knew." Both ways of looking at the truth are right. To be ready , for death is to be ready for life. To be ready for the Bridegroom is to be ready for all lessor experiences. They who live as in ex pectation of Christ and of His king dom, have their lamps burning for any other need that may arise. That is why the best general equipment for these portentous days that lie ahead of the world is a general turning toward the Lord and His will for us. God's men can meet man's emergencies. There Is no lesser contingency that is not fully prepared for by being ready for Christ. ns' that entries with nprnHnr unl.mnltir to '""tits and teachers.

SELF-IiOCKING WING-NUTS Wing nuts which are used to hold down the hoods of certain motor cars may be prevented from wooking loose in the following way: -Holding the nut in a vise, file It so as to leave a raised portion or ridge across its face. This ridge will drop into the slot in the Ibent ear and prevent the nut from shaking loose. The ridge should be about 1-32-lnch high and there should be no sharp corners. In Motor for February.

Efforts to reach an agreement on widely difficult pians to remote wnat are- descriDed as Inequalities and discriminations still existing in many states against wo men,, posstbly through the creation of an entirely new national organization, will be made by the woman's party at its annual convention which begins here Wednesday. Delegates declare that while the main Ofbject for which the party was organized national woman suffrage -has been attained the victory is not yet complete. Some leaders propose to continue to depend upon obtaining na tional legislation favorable to their cause by "holding the party in power responsible," and arousing- interest in women's legislation among the constit uents of members of congress. Others propose more clearly defined political activities in the states, while still others would enter" the political arena direct with a full fledged women's party. Th. -rAfiitive committee, the advis- i rAnnrii sLnA the committee of state I chairmen will submit the following resolutions concerning tne xuiure pro gram: - '.'Resolved, That the women, here as sembled now consecrate themselves, the political freedom bf women hav ing been won In-the United States, to see that this freedom is r not' lost in any international government that is established, and to work for the "remo val of all remaining forms of the sub jection of women. "Resolved, That in order to carry out this program the national woman's party disband and a new organisation be created. "Resolved, That In order to promote the object of this organization, it maintain an official magazine. "Resolved, That the immediate work of the organization shall be the re moval of the legal disabilities of wo men." .
