Library At High
School Progresses
The circulation in the Roxbcrc
High School library is increasing
by leaps and bounds. Last month’s
circulation of 570 books, which
was more than double that of 216
books of the month before, has
been nearly doubled during the
third month of school by a cir
culation of 948 books. This in
crease is attributed to the grad
ual addition of new books, and it
;s hoped that many more books
will be added to the library dur
ing the course of the year.
A part of the latest order of
new books has arrived and prov
ed to be a varied assortment.
Among the fiction there are the
two old favorites, Thomas Hard
y's “Tess of the D’Urbervilles
and Gladys Hasty Carroll’s, “As
the Earth Turns.”
These who are interested in
big game hunting, adventure in
Afica explorations, should go to
Africa .with “J. T. Jr.,” a pet
monkey, his valets, and his play
mates.
An artillery bombardment—
that’s “Life With Father.” Stormy,
spirited, always a tang, Bills, no
accounts, horses, bent big toes,
trips to Egypt, oriental rugs,
mother, boys, and—always Fath
er.
For the music lovers there is
the story of “Enchanting Jenny
Lind.” Difficulty at home, hard
ships in her career, loss of her
lover did not prevent Jenny Lind
from living her dream of singing
like the bird she heard as a lit
tle girl.
o
HI-Y PROJECTS
The Girls’ Senior Hi-Y in keep
ing with the work which they

SUNDAY
SCHOOL LESSON
1 From
I The Adult Student
j
Jesus offers his disciples every
thing that makes life worthwhile,
i lie offers us peace of mind that
| neither men or circumstances can
destroy. “My peace I give urlo
J you.” But that peace of mind is
not an outright gift. It comes
only to those who have met cer
tain conditions. It comes only to
those who have absolute trust in
God. It comes only to those who,
as they survey the human scene,
look for the things that are true
and just and lovely and of good
report. It comes only to these
who put righteousness above rich
es and the Kingdom of God ab
ove presonal glory.
Jesus offers us joy, even the
“joy which no man can take from
you.” But this joy is not for the
spiritually indolent. It is given
only to those who battle for truth
and right. This joy does not mear.
the absence of tears; it means
ihe prescVice of Christ in our
hearts.
Abive all, Jesus offers us sal
vation from sin and fear and wor
ry. But this salvation is not to
be had for nothing. Its price is
high. To be saved from sin, we
must be willing to forego the
j pleasure of sin and live in the
’ spirit of Christ. To be saved from
fear, we must “seek ye first the
Kingdom of God, and his right
eousness.” We must be like the
old Puritan preacher who feared
God so much that he was not h
farid of the face of man. The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of
courage. To be saved from worry,
we must set our affections or,
spiritual things and relegate ma
terial things to a subordinate
place in our scale of values.
Exacting Standards of Conduct
One day Jesus and his discip
les entered a Samaritan villrgc
and asked for hospitality. But the
Samaritans did not like Jews; so
Jesus and his friends were order
j ed to move on. This act of chur
! ii.-h hospitality on the part of the
Samaritans enraged the disciples.
They burned to retaliate. They
urged Jesus to call down fire
from heaven and consume the
Samaritans whose recial feeling
fiared against them. They wanted
to meet hate with hate, rudeness
with rudeness. They wanted tc
meet the ugly spirit of the Samar
itans with an equally ugly spir
it.
I In all this the disciples wen
j imitating the worst elements ii
1 the character of men they did
not like. They were taking theii
! standard of conduct not fron
the basest in the hearts of their
, opponents. How human it all is!
|At some time or other all of
us face the temptation of allowing
our enemies to determine the
l spirit and mode of our action.
| From whom do we take our
standard of conduct from
world, then we belong to the
world. If vve speak disparagingly
of those who disparage us, are
vve not their moral slaves? If we
measure our gifts to the church
by the skinflints in the congre
gation, should we boast about our
Uiscipleship? If we excuse our
negligence to the church by say
ing that we go more often than
the man who attends only on Eas
ter Sunday, are vve following
Christ or aping a baptized pa
gan? If we See every internation
al problem through the bore of
a rifle and despise every nation
but our own, do we walk with
Christ or with dictators?
Disciplcship Meanse Sacrifice
Here is a man who considers
himself a Christian. He believes
Uie creed. He has been baptized.
He goes *to church—perhaps
when there is nothing more in
teresting to do. Occasionally he
tosses the church a tip out of his
surplus. He would be shocked to
hear Christianity denied. He
would probably be more shcckec
to see it applied. He wants his
children to go to Sunday school.
He wants the church to bless his
children when they marry, and he
sends for the preacher when
death knocks at his door. He calls
himself a Christian. But just how
much of a disciple is he? Measur
ed by the normal Christian, he
shows up very Well. And he is
surely a better disciple than the
man who ignores his church from
Easter to Easter. But measure his
liscipleship by the standard set
by the men and women who sac
rifice money and time and effort
‘o keep the church alive, and it
does not compare so well. A man's
Christianity is to be measured by
v hat he is willing to sacrifics in
order that the cause of Christ
may prosper.
