Two eminent clergymen declare that youth’* pendulum of deiire ha* begun to swing back From abnormal indul gence in pleasure, at the expense of ■righteous living, to a more normal seeking after truth. Youth does not 1 now why it is rest less, filled with des re for excitement, following the lead of any who seek to find satisfaction in pleasure—often tarried to the extreme in such things as petting parties and immodest dances. Most of youth’s excesses in the name *f pleasure proceed from sheer thoughtlessness and ignorance. One ypung girl, who had never gone to ex tremes, wrote me this letter: “1 used to hear such statements as this: ‘A Christian should not go to shows or dances.’ 1 was never told why, and so I continued to go to then: for two or three months after I was converted One night, in a theatre, God spoke to my heart, und 1 got up immediately, walked out of the theatre and went into a mission. At the close of the service 1 fully consecrated my life to the Lord. When I reached home it was late, but l was determined to find out why it was wrong for mo to pursue the pleasures I had always enjoyed. My Bible concordance gave mo passages in Scripture to look up and I found in James, 4:4, ‘Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?’ "St. Paul, In Romans 12:1, 2 says: ‘Present your bodies :• living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world; but bo ye transformed by the renewing of your inind. that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” This and other letters from con* verted girl* end boy* *howed me that youth, today, want* to have a r»a»on for what it does, and want* to be put in the way of finding, for ittelf, a »at i*factory reason. ' This trend of youth came startlingly from the lips of u five-year-old whose mother was lecturing him. The little fellow told her, with finality, “I want to fink my finks for myself,” Youth wants to think out it< own -alvation. It only needs to be shown the way. A great many people do not realize it. hut the devil is really overstepping himself Do you know that he is throw ing upon the cinema screen, today, pic tures of hi own evil ways? Can’t you see that Satan is revealing to the world the awfulness of sin? I remember how Jesus ransomed me just as Satan was bargaining for my soul. In the Junior Dramatic Club, of Fresno, Cal., I was given the part of leading lady in a -play to be produced in a real theatre. I was being trained for the cinema stage when the accident (1 have never considered it an acci dent) .of a locked door at rehearsal compelled me to accompany my blind grandfather to a revival service where I was converted.

STILLMAN INGERIE can mean much or nothing Everything dc pends upon the woman wearing it If she has taste, if she has knowledge of materials, has that indefinable but tremendously important sense of values- -she can use the dainty fabrics and the sheer mate rial as foundations upon which to build her complete en semble. Some women are bom with this sense of values They are fortunate Their instinct for style is such t,hat every thing they "own, in some indefinite way, takes upon itself something of their own personalities. Some women are born with style instinct. Others ac quire it by patient experiment through trial and error Thou sands of women, however, are helped along by the skilled salespersons of the stores, who are trained to match color values with the psychological and physical requirements of the individual. It is not always safe, however, to rely upon outside as sistance in building up one’s clothes value—which is so im portant an expression of individualism. Every woman should, therefore, study her own needs and her own individual requirements The tiniest bit of equip age, the smallest bit of raiment must be considered not by itself, but in relation to the ensemble Clothes are the materials. The form is the mould upon which the materials are to be placed And these matcnals should be selected at all times wtih the complete effect in mind—should be selected with the same care that an artist gives to his paints. One flaw in the selection of color, one tremor of the brush and the picture is marred This is true of the clothes effect—the effect of sheer charm—which all women seek For the woman who likes dainty things, lingeiie^tfTTers an opportunity in which she can revel to her heart’s content Daintiness is the keynote of her selection Daintiness, luxury and charm This is the trinity of every woman's requirements. Sheerness of material is the first essential Dainty tucks, gathers and fine rich laces are next, and when incorporated into soft filmy fabrics the whole results in artful feminine appeal. A great deal of money can be spent upon lingerie. Yet if it is carefully chosen none of it will be wasted. » in lingerie a perfect fij of the undergarment is one of the first things to he looked for. to be insisted upon and to be stressed. And if your lingerie budget is limited it is more important that you get a perfect fitting garment than one of expensive material. By Clare Murray, New Girl Poet-Artist YOU’RE GOING? What did you say? I am sorry.. .1 did not catch it. Your voice was so mellow I heard not a word. Like the creep, vibrant tone Of a ’cello It stirred A wild cry in my heart ’Til my senses were blurred, And I listened to it alone. You’re going? I’m glad to have met you. Your handshake was firm And your fingers were warm in my own. And I read In your eyes As you turned to depart A sudden surprise And a question unsaid. You must go But I know, As I’ve known From the start. You’ll return—or be sorry you fled. 'Yoil'U return—or bo »orry you fled.” by the hand of Jesus locking the door on its worldly ambitions, but not many of us realize it. Jesus does this because He loves us; because He knows the value of a human soul. Were all the riches, the treasures, the honor and glory of this old world placed in the balance on one side of the scales, and the immortal soul of man on the other, it would net balance, for the immortal soul that Jesus died to save outweighs every other treasure this world holds. What will you do with your soul? Do you not know it is safe in Hi. keep ing? If you do not know it, it i- b< cause you are willingly ignorant of it Scripture tells us, “He that loveth his life shall lose it." Do we love our own lives? Do we glory more in our pleasures, our pretty clothes, our elaborately furnished homes arid our limousines than we do in the Cross of Jesus and the endless blessings that it brings? If so, hear wnat lie says to ut : “11' that loveth hit HTf shall lose it; but he that batetb his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal." We often read in the "host and Found” columns of a valuable jewel that has been lost. What a thorough search is made for it I A large rew ard is offered to the tinder. What should we do to find a lost soul? Of how much more worth than, a jewel is a soul! Are you one of those who are laying up treasures on earth, “where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal?" Remember, "Where your treasure is there will your heart be also ” God has given into your keeping a priceless possession——your soul. Have you ever meditated on the value of a soul? Have you, along with many others, been selling that nevar-dying soul for frivolous amusements? Oh, that you might realisa what the price of pleasure is! The Lord, (loci, in His word, gives us a clear definition of the price of pleasure: “1 say unto you that for every idle work that man shall speak, he shall give acrount in the day of judgment'’ And this means idle deeds, too In the eighth chapter of St. Mark, Jesus aays “For what shall it profit a man if lie shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for hi? soul?" Satan has a price for the souls of young people He gives them flasks of hooting liquor to drink, that their minds may bo confused ana their spir To Win-KEEP AT IT Says Robert Cowie, Leader of 100,000 men The President oj the ~ B igges t Ex press Compan\ in the World &a\s Find Your Field and Stick< 1 WHEN you start—stick. ^ This is one of the main platiks in the business philosophy plat form of Robert E- M Cowie, president of the American Railway Express Company, a nation-wide organization with nearly 100.000 men and women in its employ There are more firms looking for com petent men than there are competent men looking for positions, in the opin ion of Mr Cowie, who does not counte nance the idea that opportunity knocks but once for the average young man. It knocks many times, he declares, and a chance missed one day does not mean that there will not be another the next. Party-five years ago Mr Cowie came from Scotland, the land of his birth, to America, to face the problem of choosing and developing his career. He is therefore peculiarly fitted to ad vise with young men wiio have cast their lot with a nation outside of their birthplace. The whole secret of success in busi net* today, a* far at the youth it con cerned, it to aim at the proper target and then to ttick, Mr. Cowic declared: “It it when a man it young,” he added, “that he can bett experiment to find out what hit permanent lifework it to be and the field to which hit natural aptitude can bett be applied He thould have a definite purpose and a clever vision of the goal to which he it direct, ing hit energy He may be earneit, hard-working and faithful, but he can never tucceed if he it in the wrong field.” Mr. Cowic declared that the day has passed when most businesses were owned by individuals. The tremendous interest of the public in all successful enterprises in almost every field of in dustry and its willingness to invest i:i the stock of such corporations is sig nifieanf of the enormous opportunity which lies before the youth of today. The president and chief executives of such companies are in effect the employes of the stockholders and are expected to carry on their enterprises successfully. That has removed the atignia “pull” or “drag’’ from virtually every concern Executives cannot af ford to select subordinates from umonr friends and relations, to do so will jeopardize their own success. They must recognize ability and integrity and the young man who possesses them has little likelihood of failure. The president of the world’s biggest express company, wbo is in a position to observe tbe daily work of a great many men. decries tbe practice of try. ing to fit square pegs into round holes. There are men in business who should itua! dancer unperccived. He gives them |)ettmc parties.

Anything contrary to the wiH of God is sin. "To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it it tin," wo read in the Bible. And thit: "The ■oul that tinnelh it shall die." "The wages of tin it death, but the gift of God it eternal life through Jetut Christ.” Many of you have sold your souls for pleasure You have forgotten God —perhaps no one has rightly told you His will But God has not forgotten you You have sold out to the devil, and are satisfied with your bargain. You have Re!fishness, pretty clothes and ROBERT E. M. COWIE be in the professional world. Un doubtedly s (real many who find pro motion difficult have made no par ticular study of their adaptability for their present job or field and if they could be analysed in a broad way, they might better be applied either to a different branch of the same in dustry or to an entirely new line of business. Nearly 90 per cent of the ranking officials of the American Railway Ex press Company, including Mr. Cowie himself, started at the bottom. It isn’t always the length of service that counts; it isn’t even sticking to one job that counts. It is finding the field for which one is adapted or has some autitude, and where the future is promising. Having found it, start! Stick! jewels, what you call a "good time.” S'. I you have fold your immortal soul for naught! "The wages of sin it .t ilth!" There is no reward for serv itor Satan, but there is nn eternal debt t.> pay. For "the way of the trans gressor is hard." I.ct us pause for a moment and re member that "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners." If you place your hand in His you will receive that prom ■ "The gift of God is everlast ing life.” . Are YOU the “Executive Type:” OME men rise as if by magic, overcoming all rivals, piling up millions. Theirs is a steady, re sistless drive toward success. Others, just as industrious, just as bright, in explicably fail. What’s the secret? Or is there a secret—instead of a blind and capri cious fortune? Is there something which great leaders in business ana finance have In common, some char acteristic which marks them off sharp ly as the "executive type"? There is. In an amazingly graphic table compiled by Dirk P de Young for Forbes' Magazine, the feeling of many that there must be some constant factor in the lives and physiques of outstanding men was clearly sub stantiated recently. Questionnaire* answered by 40 of the leading executives in America ad duced the.^e singular facts: IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED, yoa •hould be married at a comparatively early age. All of the executive* were married; mod of them married young. IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED, yea shouldn’t commit the indiscretion af being an only child. None of tho Mg men were.
