SATURDAY, SEPT. 18, 1043 PARENTS SHOULD PROPERLY SUPERVISE THEIR DAUGHTERS DURING A TIME LIKE THIS During the last few mnnthi I have observed the social re' lationship of high school ant 'teen age girls and boys in Armec serrvice in public places. Soiut of these girls are from home: where parents put all their trust in and believe everything theii children tell them. They do not allow their daughters to tak< their boy friends to their homes due to the fact that they thinh they are too young and have not finished high school. Here are some of the lies these young girls are tellinf ? and the parents believe them and get angry if you tell then: better and make you out a lit on every statement: One night 6ome few month! ago, I saw a fifteen or sixteen year-old girl' in the arms of i soldier. Later I visited a neigh bor next door, where this gir lives. About 11:30 o'clock, o: later this girl came in excitedl: and asserted "Mother! I don' want to ever work lor tltat oil woman any more". Mother answered, "wh; daughter?" "She went off about fiv o'clock this afternoon Nand lef me there with her baby, and jus got back ? I .mean I got he told. I told her my mother dl not allow me out after dark fo nobody. I think you mlstreate ine for making me etay her against my mother's will." Miother, with a greeting smili "Did you, daughter?" "Yes, mother, that ain't all told her . I told her she ha ?\ better pay me extra for m time. Her old husband came i and handed me a $1.50 and tol me if I would come back, Sa urday he was going to pay m my regular salary, too. The both begged my pardon an promised me that they woul not keep me that late any more Mother said: "Well daughti since they treated you so nb in that respect, I would f back." I saw that same young lac up town some few days ago, aid: "You are looking so beaut fult and getting so stout, whi are you eating? The girl replit with a silly smile. "Mother sa; I had a tumor growing in ir stomach, and she had to tal me to the hospital for an open tion." "Are you married," I aske She replied with anothi iiv _' THE FUT silly smile: "no, but I can get married it 1 want to." "To whom??" 1 asked. "A soldier." "How long have you been knowing him?". , "About four months. ' "Where is he from?" "I forgot where he said his home is." "What is his name?" "Henry." "Henry what?" "Henry something. I don't know what he said his last name was." "What camp is he stationed in." "I don't know ? he was just passing through and stopped over with some friends 011 his furlough." "Where is he now?" "The last I heard from him he was 111 uaiuornia, ana- lie sum in that letter that they were planning to send him across."

No one is perfect either in judgment or execution. Moses and Aaron had plenty of ' provacation for their impati ence and loss of temper. The : complaining mood of the people c must have been a constant drag upon the faith and courage of I their leaders. In spite of repeat> ed evidences of divine care and . guidance the Hebrews protesti ed at the slightest discomfort. 3 They had short memories and were easily discouraged, s The weakness of Moses and - Aaron in this crisis appears In i the fact that, instead of lead ing, they were led by the peo1 pie. They allowed the general r mood of despair and protest to Y dominate . their own thinking, t This is a common fault, and it a is uaeiy 10 luiiuence me wisest of leaders. Mere physical weariy ness may sometimes cause such a letdown in leadership that e the ideas of the mob. rather than It the man, master the situation, it .Moses and Aaron "went from the r presense of the assembly unto d the door of the tent of meeting r and fell upon their faces." This d prostration of themselves was era symbol both of their sense of I failure and their need of help. 3. Once again Jehovah did not fail them. They were given power I to meet the emergency, d The character of men is often y tested by the way in which they n use power. Too much authority d is not good for any leader. Many t- are completely ruined by it. They ie lose their heads and become ly conceited and arbitrary, thus id forfeiting the respect and adId herence of their followers. Collapse and failure are the fre3r quent results. It did not go at ;e far as that with Moses and ;o Aaron, but arrogance and ill temper are apparent in theii ly words: "Hear now, ye rebels; I shall we bring you forth watei :i- opt of this rock?" Instead ol it giving the credit to Jehovah foi id this unusual deliverance Moses id seemed to wish the people t.< ly understand that he and Aaroi ce were responsible, a- It may eeem that rather se vere punishment was meted ou d. to those two leaders for thel: er momentary loss of faith pn< ;URE OUTLOOK.

Younger men would reap the fruit of their labors and carry on Jehovah's purpose, to its fulfillment. But it must be remembered that those who carry great responsibilities also have great obligations. This momentary failure doubtless indicated that the two venerable leaders had reached the crest of their usefulness. It was time for them to pass the . torch to younger and stronger . hands. "Water out of the rock," is a significant symbol. It suggests the frequent issue of good out of evil, which is one of the amazing features of our human experience. From many a flinty and forbidding situation renewal and hope break forth lihj an abundant supply of water. Obstacles that appear insurmountable become blessings in disguise. This is another indication of the divine intention that works through human experience, controlling destiny, shaping outcomes, fashinoning character, making even the wrath of men contribute to its purpose, and using our mistakes and failures to achieve the ultimate goal of good. AIJ, HER PAY BUYS BONDS FOR WIFE AT ARMY CAMP Others can equal, but no one can top the bond buying record of Mrs. Wlllard White, who works in the refrigeration section of post engineers at Camp ^ Shelby, Miss. "No ten-per center," Mrs. White puts 100 per cent of her salary into war bonds. Each month she receives three <50 bonds and two checks for slightly more than three dollars bal1 ance. TheBe checks she saves un5 til they are enough to buy more ' bonds. 1 Her explanation is: "My husband, a captain in the combat engineers, is doing his part, so ' Cm trying to do mine too." r m i Subscribe to The Future Outlook IRQ.
