President of National Federation of Business

Dr. Karen Homey, New York psy
choanalyst, recently stated that wo
men have flye psychic .peculiarities:
1. An over-evaluation of love and
emotional relations;
2. A complying attitude to men's
ideas and ideals of femininity;
3. An age phobia with a subsequent
waste of human values;
4. An inferiority feeling as women;
5. A lac of solidarity among them
selves
? * ?
The record of women's progress
since 1900 is shown in "American Wo
men," a book containing epitomized
life stories of 10,000 women. It was
compiled by a man ? Durward Howes.

Mrs. Alice E. Alexander of Lansing,
Michigan, has been appointed Michi

Carter conferences to guide young
women about to enter the business
or professional world have been held
by the Business and "Professional Wo
men's Clubs in Alabama, New Mexi
co, Texas, Illinois and Iowa. Every
high school in key cities participated.
This is an excellent way to prepare i
for the next depression. Well trained
women in the right fields are less ;
likely to lose their jobs.
? ? ?
That women's work outside the
home is making life more simple for
the modern man was revealed by a,
recent study of 652 families made byi
Mrs. Carol H. Humpf, Ph.D. of the
Faculty of Teachers' College, Colum
bia University.
? ? ?
How do men profit. They worry
less about money, are less nervous
about holding their jobs, have a bet
ter attitude toward their work, there
fore they are better companions In
the home.

Women far outnumber men in the
teaching profession in the lower grade
schools of the United States. There
are 853,000 women teachers in these
school# as compared to 190,000 men,
the last Federal census reveals.
At last a woman has a seat on a
United States Exchange. Feminine
history was made recently when Miss
Gretchen Schoenleber of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, bought a seat on the New
York Cocoa Exchange for $2,700.

Three outstanding American! wo

The Beauty Industry is the fourth

Meals served to college girls these

from both diets and fancy foods if
a well-known women's college is any

berry jam and a fruit compote. Oth

meat loaf, creamed mushrooms on
scrambled eggs or creamed beef on

THE LAST VOICE
Intferr|ational Sunday School Lesson
for December 22, 1935
?. GOLDEN TEXT: "Behold, I srnd
my messenger, and he shall prepare
the way before me." Malachi 3:1.
(Lesson Text: Mai. 3:1-12)
Hie book of Malachi consists of
four short chapters, and it is the last
voice in a long and distinguished line
of prophets. It was written probably
about the middle of the fifth century
B. C. , and represented the last pro
phetic utterance prior to the coming
of Christ.
We do not know anything about
the writer, nor are we certain of his
home. The name of the book in He
brew means, "my messenger," and it
is not exactly certain whether or not
this is the name of the author or
whether the book was named thus
because of the prominent passage In
the first verse of chapter three. How
ever, all other books of a similar
character bear the names of their au
thors. Our study of the Book of Mal
achi closes the survey of the Old
Testament which was begun about
thirty months ago in this series of
lessons.
The book was written after the re
establishment of temple worship, fol
lowing the return of the exiles from
Babylon. The writer does not hesitate
to condemn the practice of offerin?
unworthy sacrifices to Jehovah. Nor
dees he fail to severely criticise the
priests for their neglect in failing to
follow the law of truth and genuine
ly represent Jehovah. Whereas, "the
priests's lips should keep knowledge,'
Malachi tells those of his day that
"ye have caused many to stumble."
Malachi, also, was unsparing in his
criticisms of the people for their so
cial sins, charging them especially
with robbing God in the matter of
offerings and of shattering their
homes by their infidelity to the old
marriage customs of their race.
There are germs of great teachings
in this short book, however. For ex
ample he urges that they offer God
"offerings in righteousness'* rather
than the formal offerings of an in
sincere ceremony, reminding the jews
that in ancient years such ceremonial
pretenses did not exist. In another
passage, showing an advanced con
ception of Jehovah, is the confident
and daring prophesy: "Prom the ris
t ing of the sun even unto the going
j down of the same, my name shall be
great among the Gentiles." Malachi
also recognizes the common father
hood of God, asking why should we
deal treachously against a brother.
The Jews were subject to a very
definite and strict rule in regard to
tithes, but one of the evils which Mal
achi denounced was the hypocrisy and
deceit practlqed in this matter.
Speaking for God he indicts his fel
, low citizens for robbing God by fail
t ?
ing to offer the proper tithe and
called upon them to prove God by
accounting honestly in this matter of
free will offerings. The obligations to
give rests upon the individual more
today, not necessarily that all should
be distributed through the channels
of his own church, but surely, at least
a tithe should be devoted to the help
ing of mankind in some unselfish way.
Time is in the same category as mon
ey as far Us the principle of tithing
is concerned.
The best known passage in Malachi
is that which forms our lesson today.,
referring to the coming messenger.
Christians read in this a direct refer
ence to Christ, which was confirmed
by Him. Towards the end of his short
book Malachi prophesies the coming
of Elijah to prepare the way for this
messenger and Jesus himself referred
to this when he said that John the
Baptist fulfilled this promise. Mala
chi pictured the coming of this mes
senger as bringing an era of judg
ment, fore-shadowing in very rough
and inexact form the idea of the king
dom of God subsequently and fully
developed by Jesus.
So we come to the end of our con
sideration, for the present, of the Old
Testament. We have followed the his
tory of the Israelites through various
experiences and now for more than
400 years we have no scriptual ac
count of them. Yet, we should real
ize, with William Elliott Griff is: "how
wonderful the history of Israel ? vic
tor with God! First a band of west
ward emmigrants, then a. horde of es
caped slaves, then a host of conquer
ing warriors out of the desert; then
crushed and ground into captivity;
thence, after seventy years, to return
with songs and outburst of poetry,
prophecy, and wjsdom; then, after
flowering in the Messiah, withered
ar:d dead down to the roots; then al1
tb*t was visible crushed and ground
under Rome's world empire, and
scattered as^dust to the winds.
That is the story of the Hebrew
people. And jjpt Israel's gift to the
world is unique, deathless, unmatched
in value, Out of Israel came the mor
al law, prophecy, the eternal word,
the Teacher^ of nations, the Savior of
mankind, our Exemplar and inspira
tion, the word of God which liveth
and abideth forever."
