"Whan 1 *U ? child, 1
?pake as a child, I understood
?i ? child, I thought aa a child:
but whao I bacama a man. 1
put may chlldlah thlnga."
1 Cortnmlana 13:11
One of the manifestations
at Immaturity In modern-day
persona la the widespread lack
at aalf - dlaclpilna. One
paycholofiat haa amid that U
a child doaa not learn ?o yield
its will to another before It
learns id talk. It will never do
so apart from compulsion.
Equally difficult la the task
of masMiing the will. The
human will la not an arbitrary
ruler lording it over the per
sonality. It la. rather, "a
function of the self." It can
have no existence apart from
the aelf. It ought to be wholly
under our control. "Obey your
lmpulsea" someone will tell
you. but that Is to enthrone
chaos In your life. I twill leave
you at the mercy of your inner
drives and desires. To let
desire rule ua is to be less
than mature men and women.
Just as soon as we lose the
power of controlling and dir
ecting our lives we begin to
deteriorate. The child acta
according to impulae. The
mautre adult acts according to i
reason and moral consider
ations. It is not good enough
to speak and think and reason
like a child. When we reach
manhood and woman hood, we
must give up childish ways.
Years ago a Shanghai
express agency used to carry
on its window this notice:
"Your bags taker, and deliver
ed in all directions." That
sounds like a description of
some people. They are always
going off at a tangent. We
need periodically to pull our
selves together so that we
may become disciplined per
sons. Are you building now a
self - reliant, courageous
character that can confidently
meet life's crises? That is the
test of your maturity.
The Christ-mastered man,
such as Paul, is the only truly
self-mastered man. Studying

"Trusted" Employees
Embezzle Millions
How trustworthy are
"trusted" employees?
You may be surprised to
learn that last year they stole
upwards of a billion dollars
from their employers. This is
twice the amount of goods
and money taken by all the
nation's robbers, burglars,
pickpockets and auto thieves
Nevertheleas, employers
were protected by surety
bonds for only about 10 per
cent of the losses.
The surety Industry has .r
ged both large and small com
mercial firms to take stronger
action agains: thieving ern
employees. They recommend
tighter internal control and
more adequate bonding pro
tection.
While not minimizing the
responsibility of the thieving
employees, some of the blame
must be placed with the em
ployers for allowing the em
bezzlement.
One thought is that
the United States government
might do well to fine busi
nessmen for "tempting thie
very" as some European
countries do. This might go
a long way to encourage busi
nessmen to take common
sense precautions against c
losses.
Embezzlement isnotlimited c
to the actual fraudulent taking c
of money by persons to whom ,
it has been entrusted. It en- c
compasses all sorts of theft,
ranging from nuts and bolts
to autos and refrigerators.
A manufacturer of floor tile ?
recently reported thefts of
material running into thehun- ?
dreds of thousands of dollars,
and embezzlements by high -
ranking banking officials has ^
soared to astronomical J
heights. *
It seems that people who jy
vould never dream of taking ?
l penny from a friend or a
leighbor or lifting even the
smallest item from the coun
:er of the corner confectionery at
itore would not think twice ht
'bout stealing from an em- wi
iloyer. ai

Than when we go into Inter
personal relations we find that
(he spiritually mature parson
U a purveyor of food will and
inderatandlng. This Is true
whether It be in a school or a
collage, a church or a
fraternal society, a bank or a
store, a factory or an office
Life in America Is lived under
Increasing pressure and
proceeds at high speed.
Everyone finds himself st
dmes gripped by tensions.
Nerves are frayed. Tempers
ere strained. Patience is
sometime exhausted. It Is so
easy under these circum
stances to revert to early In
fantile emotional reactions -
to behave like naughty children
And how childish we become
st times ? --taking an unfair
advantage of other persons,
repeating unkind gossip we
hsve heard, believing the
worst sbout people, resenting
the advancement that comes to
others and glorying in any thst
comes to ourselfes, exposing
the faults of others Instead of
trying to correct our own.
One Is reminded of the song
we used to sing as children:
"I don't want to play in
your yard. | don't like you
any more; you'll be sorry when
you see me sliding down our
cellar door; You con't holler
iown our rain -barrel, you
can't climb our apple tre?, I
lon't want to play in your \ ar'l
If you won't be good to me."
~ove Is an unfailing remedy
for these immature reactions.
^Vhen love fills our Iiv;s we
ire no longerpreoccupied with
>ur own petty concerns. Here,
is else* '-ere, Christ is the
insw-r. His Spirit within
-reates mature Chris a an per
tonalities who can say with
he apostle Paul. "When Iwas

thought like a child. I
?easoned like a child, but when
became a man I gave up
:hildish ways."

What can we do about this?
The Surety Association of
America offers these sugges
tions:
Better supervision and
vernal control, plus a very
'no rough check of employees .
'?ond employees, thereby
alerting them to the fact that
if something is stolen they
h?ve to answer not only to the
employer, who may be a for -
gi vine "hap, bur also to a real -
istic bor.iir.g company.
Watch dishonest business
practices wNc.i may breed
dishonesty in employees. If
employees see the boss steal -
'r % from the public, they sel
som see anything wrong with
tlelr stealing from the em
ployer.
Avail the firm of outside
audits by Certified Public
Accounting firms. Periodic
complete audits on a surprise
basis can go a long way in
dlsuadlng the light-fingered
employee.

losses which do happen despite
all precautions see Hyde In

HOW MANy CANDIES
' . . ;? V >
Do you count the candles on your birthday
cake? Why bother? Once you're sweet sixteen,
it doesn't matter how many candles you're entitled
to. What counts is what you're doing with those
years.
The years that are past have burned them
selves out. Perhaps they have been all you've
wanted them to be ? but, if you're like most of us,
maybe you could have made them a little better.
One of God's greatest gifts is the marvelous
fact that it's never too late to begin a train.
Birthdays remind us of the passing of time, of
a new life. Celebrate your birthday by giving. Give
something of yourself, by going to your church and
taking part in its activities, especially those that
help others. Next year, the added candle on your
cake will burn with a special brightness!
THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church it the greatest factor on
earth for the building of character and
good cititeaihip. It it ? storehouve of
spiritual values. Without a strong Church,
SKither democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound reasons
why every person should attend services
regularly and support dw Chuich. They
' are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For hi?
children's sake. (3) For the take of his
community and nation. (4) For the sake
of the Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support. Plan to go
to church regularly and read your Bible
daily.
