1 For this very reason make every effort to supplement your, faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge. —7 7 Peter 7:75 Life is a constant learning experience, a succession of good times and bad. There is a need, always, for a strength of purpose, for the kind of faith that gives consistency to everyday actions. Sometimes we try to shut out die world, to ignore the oppressed, the weak and the sick. We turn our eyes away from the “wrongs” of life as something that is “none of our. business.” We do not always get away with it. Conscience steps in to destroy our sense of innpr peace. Open your eyes to the world. See the good and the bad of it Let your life be one of example, and of purpose. If you believe in God, and in the ultimate good, virtue and knowledge will always direct your footsteps.' The Undefeated Then an seme individuals in life more frequently visited by bad fortune than comes the way of their contemporaries, and in this group are a few who appear always able to take life in stride, without lament, without moaning, and with a bright face outward to the world. Most of us know someone like this, some person who, appears never completely defeated; who in modern-day parlance, “never quits.” If we are familiar with such a person, and know the tricks that life has played upon them, we wonder at their perseverance, at their ability to bounce back and have another go at the world. We wonder too, how deep the reser voir from which they draw the strength to carry on. v. More often than not, this in dividual .draws strength from faith, from the belief that God is in the heavens and that tomor row is a better world. Faith is the power and the motivation. Where faith is strong, hope is never lost. When we are tempted to quit, when it seems the fates have chosen to torment us, we should examine the strength of our per sonal faith and measure the good ness and blessings of life that we have known. With a proper ana lysis we may choose not to be completely defeated. BENTON IN EUROPE Hugh F. Benton of 109 £.

OUR REPLY: You should go out with other boys. It is possible he is putting you on about his dad’s attitude and just wants to date other girls. If he is right about dad's attitude, and you con* tinue to get serious, it is likely that dad will insist that he doesn’t date you at all In any event, chances are that you will only lose if you continue with the idea that you love only him and refuse to date other boys.
