AIL of these ntfauKs promise to show us the way to '% better life, to develop mag- Oteiism to attract friends, how to stay young although growing older. All of these offers re quests contributions, the mini mum being ten dollars. In re turn we will receive the maga xme for a year and ten to twen ty lessons on how to be attrac tive. One of these magazines is called the Voice o< the Tur tle. Do you know about these, * magazines’ | —Zenobia. | Dear Zenobia: ■ I.You no doubt have heard of the well known saying of Barn- 1 sin: “There is a sucker born every minute.’’ Further for ev sucker bom there are those tx>rn to exploit them. In some may or other your name has I been included on seme mailing 'list- of suckers and those pur ***d friends of yours do not mtiak You and your husband been selected as two who mill fall for the line of the Pitch man and part easily with] yaur money. X There are hundreds of such 1 magazines from the Temple of »ulo to the Halls of Bliss and Paradise »«r the Lonely of Heart. Sad to relate some of |hc Well known publishing hous es have fallen to print some of jjfis* stuff to get some of the Aisy money. Generally they all Jjpef the same thing: a sub mription to the magazine or! purchase of a book together] with a series of from ten to H«ty lessons on how to ac awnplish a great many things Sg life. These lessons come from the Hall of the Masters, The] Sgers of the Past and of the Future; The Mystics of the Un-| Bwm and from the Halls of' At Occult Os course, you rea lise that these are only words, . fgeh places and people do not eaist but you are intrigued by f£m because they seem to be bp nml your ken and you be- Mm that there must be sonne ting hi these lessons. Hoe gome of the subjects of the' saecelled lessons. You may read Md out tripe: The Secret Doc ty". Industrialization, moreover, has brought greater comforts conveniences to the American family. But it has also brought economic risks beyond the aver age temily’s control Loss of income from wages brings in security. The risk of loss of .earnings is ever present be-1 j cause of the hazards of unem ployment, old-age, disability and, death. The great depression of the 1930’s convinced the American people that only through coop erative effort can the individual be protected against these com mon hazards. The Social Se |curity Act enables society to put its collective shoulder to the I wheel in providing this protec i tion. Through the cooperation jof employers, employees, the self-employed, and government,! {social security replaces, at least | partially the earnings that are ( I lost because of unemployment, old-age, disability or death. Through the social insurance principle, funds are built up in 1 advance to meet the emergen- Icies of the future. 1 Yes, times do change—but re- 1 member social security benefits are the harvest of your work ing years. and Sex Attraction: How to ob tain what you will through the thought processes of the mind land the mystical element The appeal of all of these so licitations is to the so-called in | telligent for they are the only ' ones able to comprehend and use I the forces offered to them. Such mystical aberrations are beyond the ability of the ignorant to comprehend and to absorb. Os course, this is an appeal to your vanity as being one of the in telligent and when you are told you may learn how to get what you want you begin tO| think that the lessons may bej worth the ten to fifty dollars. When you reach this stage you might as well throw up the sponge and send the money for you have become a victim of i your own vanity. You will re ' ceive a great mess of words and I you wUL plough through them hoping to find that mystic pow er and psychic control to get what you want. Even the so called books written by pro fessional medical men and psy chologists are full to the brim' with just plain, undiluted and | unadulterated boloney and com-j pressed hot air. Any normal | half intelligent person under stands what they want and thei rules of the game of life as to how to obtain what they seek [without falling for the hypno tizing lingo of the charlatan. [ One of the best Greek axioms and which is in the Bible is l “Know Thyself’ and a corollary to this is, “Be Thyself’.

She is mar ’ ried and has a good husband land three fine children. About a year ago a new family moved next door to us. A man in the family introduced himself to my sister and ever since has been making love to her. My sis ter at first repelled his advances [ but I am afraid that she is now ; succumbing to his blandish ments. What can I do? —Dosia. Dear Dosia: Propinquity and flattery are two forces that working togeth er cause level headed people to stray from the beaten track. No doubt this man next door is single, afraid of the responsi bilities of married life and is finding an outlet for his emo tional feeling by trying to se duce a married woman. All he ;is looking for is one or two af fairs de passione and after this , experience he will probably for get all about your s'ster. My advice to you is to have an out and out talk with your sister and explain to her where such an experience will lead her if i she continues to fall for the .'flattery of this Casanova.

Certainly Paul was not silc.iced; indeed, he | never had been. Paul stands in; the same line with many menj who have found imprisonment itself a form of effective speech. Even when Paul was not speak ing for Christ in prison, he was 1 ] living for him. In the same way, many a German Christian j may have kept silent while Hit- j ler was persecuting the Jews, J but many of them quietly shel : tered these mistreated souls in j their homes at the risk of their ] lives. They made no speeches; I they only quietly put into prac . | tice the basic ideals of the Gos- i 1 pel. I Even silence can be speech. Did Jesus ever speak more elo quently for the dignity of the human spirit than when he ; stood silently before Pilate? :. And what of his broken body . on the cross? He was crucified but not silenced. Paul and a host of others have demonstrated that the : | Spirit of God in the spirit of i ■ man has an irrepressible power , | that will always seek'new chan | nels of expression when the cus ’! tomary channels are blocked. : God’s Spirit in man can be . chained, but it cannot be sil • enced. And what of the power of God in us? What are the chains that are laid upon us as Chris . tian disciples? Are we strong enough to speak for Christ in spite of hardships? It is frequently demonstrated that the measure of one’s belief is to be found in the extent of his opposition. An act of friend ship, a stand on conscience in contradiction of popular conduct, expressions of love in the face j i of bitterness and hatred—all arc {illustrative of quiet witness. It .| is impossible to avoid all con- I I Some limitations arc bestowed upon us by birth; i what we can or cannot do is • often determined by our sex, J our physical and mental endow - i ment, and so on. Other limit • ations may be imposed by ill ; ness, restricted opportunities for education, such things as social and cultural pressures, and oth er similar factors beyond our ij control. Therefore, confinement < is a universal experience, axis-11 mg certainly out of eireum-: stance and sometimes 'cut of | moral choice. J i But, if we are determined toj | dedicate our lives to Christian : witnessing, despite what handi jeaps we arc laboring under, we ' will find a way 1 to circumvent ! them—indeed, not only that, we will find away to put those same restricting influences to J work on our own behalf and onj behalf of our Lord Jesus Christ.
