Table Manner The following letter from Clyde, Route one: , Dear Unde Abe: I would like to know how chil dren my age, fourteen, are up- nosed to act at the table when company comes, the preacher, farm agent, or other strange persona, And oblige, DOROTHY I. Dear Dorothy X: You are an algebra student I can see, because you are using the unknown X to get an answer from Uncle Abe however, I'm going to be just as honest with you as if you had signed your real name. And if there is anything that Uncle Abe is really versed in it table man ners I always did just eat table manners up! Now, table manners change every generation or so; they also vary, I have found, in different sections of our county. For ample, if you live out in the coun try your table manners would prob ably be different from the "eti quette" in Waynesville, I wouldn't say that ours here -in town is any better because manners have shore backslid everywhere these Learn To Save!

This has been gobig on ever since woman suffrage, Jazz and swing, the radio and beer taverns became fashionable. You ask what these things have to do with table man ners. Why a lot If a man imbibes his spirits fermenti too freely he forgets his manners and reaches to the other end of the table to spear a biscuit, not even saying, "S-s-skooze me."

The Temptation of Jesus ' HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON 1-21 By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for Jan uary 25 is Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 112. 13: Luke 4:1-13. the Golden Text being Hebrews 4:13. -For we have . . . One that hath been in all points tempted like aa we are. yet without sin. Morning Paper Ve. Manners But the limit is perhaps reached with the arrival of the morning paper. Dad generally tries to hog the whole thing but Junior grabs the sports page and Sis the society section. Then follows an exchange of snatches and bouts between bites, ending up in a general mess and tangle that makes "Out Our way ' look good in comparison. Then when the election ap proaches, politics is substituted at the table for grace, and there is such a flare up of tempers in gen eral that, in order to have peace in the family, the different mem bers decide to come to their meals all at different hours. So you see, Dorothy, what these things have done to our manners. THE TEMPTATION of Jesus is thought to have taken place in the spring of A. D 27 The place has never been dennileiy located, .nut it was in a wilderness, probably on the west aide of the Jordan river, about eight miles or so from the place where He was baptized. Mount Quarantanta rises 1.500 feet almost perpendicularly from the plain of Jordan, and it is here, according to tradition, that He was taken by Satan to see the world spread out at His feet. It is not important where the temp tation did take place, however. After His baptism by John the Baptist. Jesus retired to a quiet place to commune with Himself and His God before beginning His teaching and preaching. For 40 days and 40 nights He fasted, prayed and probably planned. At the end of that time He must have been weary and very hungry. And that was when temptation came to Him. Satan came to Him and. knowing He was hungry, asked Him why He did not turn the stones at His feet into bread, if He really was the Son of God. and so satisfy His hunger Jesus an swered by quoting Scripture. Deut. 8:3. "It is written," He said, "that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that pro ceeded! out of the mouth of God." Poet Youreelf And you ouught to post yourself up a little. : fourteen and niteen ear old girls are supposed to know quite a few things nowadays and do. They Sometimes remind father and mother that they're nly back numbers and, conse quently, a little foggy; but I'de .advise you, Dorothey, to not tell the farm generalissimo nor his Reverence that they don't know anything. This would be almost as inexcusable as having a warmed over dinner. In order to "save face" with the farm agent you ought to be able to tell him the family out-put oft butter fat, also to know a Barred I Rock rooster from a Rhode Island Red. Of course, you might be able J to talk farm practices, pigs and oaby beeves till his head swims for all I know. As for his Reverence, well, he doesn't care about the different strains of chickens just so long as you manage to get them on the table. And for his benefit,' you might study up on the foreign niissions program; also recall, if First Temptation Overcome Physical hunger is hard to bear, but the spirit of God in us en ables us to withstand it if it is wrong for us to eat. and in this case Jesus felt the time had not come for Him to satisfy His hun ger. Temptation number one was ' overcome. The Evil One then took our Lord Into the holy city of Jerusalem, eating Him on a pinnacle of the temple. It was the time when the massive gates of the temple were opening and the priests' silver trurapeta were summoning the I people to begin a sew day by ap- XXrtriketed y Klag VWure Sradiraf peering before their Lord. Satan suggested that Jesus cast Himself down, as it is written. "He shall give his angels charge over Thee: On their hands shall they bear Thee up. Lest haply Thou dash Thy foot against a stone." Even the Devil can quote scripture to his purpose, as the saying goes. By such a miracle Jesus could accomplish His mission. Satan Im plied, and make people believe in Him. by one spectacular act. But the Lord said. "Again It is writ ten. Thou ahalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'' The third temptation was even more diabolical. Taking Him to an exceedingly high mountain, be showed Jesus "all the kingdoms of the- world, and the glory of them."- - "All these things will I give Thee, if Thou wilt fall down and worship me." Satan said. How many more mortals have faced this temptation giving way to the lust for power and influ ence. But our Lord answered calmly, but it must have been with some heat. "Get thee hence, Satan, for it ia written. Thou Shalt wor ship the Lord thy God. and Him only ahalt thou serve." Angels Minister to Him At this Satan left Him. where St- Mark tells us. wild beasts were with Him. but did not harm Him. and the angels of God came and ministered unto Him. We, too. are subject to tempta tions. Not often spectacular ones like those of our Lord, but every day many smaller ones nag at us to give way to them. How can we find strength to overcome them? Jesus told us how when He was here on earth. In the- prayer He taught us we say. "Lead us not into temptation' meaning that we ask God not to allow us to come into the path of overpower ing temptation. Again, toward the end of His life. He said. "Watch and pray." that we shall not fall into temptation. These things can we do daily. And we can put the temptations that come to us right out of our minds. If we dwelt on them, dally ing with them, so to speak, it is much harder to win the battle for the right. We must turn our backs on them. say. as Jew di , "Get thee hence. Satan." - ! League Of Nations May Try Again After This War By CHARLES P. STEWART ' (Central Press Columnist) That our side won the last war but lost the peace" is a remark to be heard, generally several times, in the course of every dis cussion of the kind of terms rtll behoove the world to agree on at the end of bur present conflict.

From the archives of broken peace we are bringing out old words and dusting them off for use again as shining lanterns to lead us through the darkness of another war. . Words like freedom, justice and truth all of them hard to define, none of them used more frequently than freedom. You cannot say what freedom is, perhaps, in a single sentence, It is not necessary to define it. It is enough to point to it Freedom is a man lifting a gate latch at dusk and sitting for a while on the porch, smoking his pipe, before he goes to bed. If is the violence of an argument outside an election poll; it is the righteous anger of the pulpits. It is the warm laughter of a girl on a park bench. It is the rush of a train over the continent and the unafraid faces of people looking out the windows. It is all the howdys in the world, and, all the hellos. It is Lindbergh's appeasing voice raised above a thousand hisses. It is you trying to remember the words to The Star Bpangled Banner. It is all the things you do and want to keep on doing. It is all the things you feel and cannot help feeling. Freedom it is you. need to dictate will be some form of one that'll stick. There are pretty sure to be dif ferences of opinion on that sub ject. . One school of thought's to the tffect that Woodrow Wilson had the right idea, with his League of Nations plan, but that we Ameri cans queered the whole thing by refusing to go into the league. Arguers along this line severely pan the congressional isolationists of that period, who. voted against Yankee participation. Having been grown up and a listener-in on the debate, while it was progressing, I can't but feel that the recalcitrants made out a fairly good case. The league, as outlined by Woodrow, was to set-J tie international disputes peace-J auiy, 11 possioie, put, 11 some single power or groups of countries re fused to accept a league award and jtook the warpath, then the league aggregation were to be bound. jointly, to lick the balky outfit into subjection. In other words, if a war did start, every league nation automatically was to be in on it The anti-league statesmen didn't like to commit the United States, sight unseen, to such a bargain. Another League? Today a post-war league or something similar to it is a scheme that has its advocates. Another school of thinkers main tains that a post-war league, inclu sive of all nationalities, shouldn't be our objective that the democ racies' job is to lick the totalitar-ianly-dominated peoples so flat that they'll completely disintegrate as fighting units, and won't be able to reassemble 'emselves "in at least 1,000 years," as I've heard it ex pressed.
