‘“Susy!” That one word uttered
jNrtth the depth of scorn of which
sanly a school boy Is capable, U
iaaough to ruia the happiness of the
Roe toward whom it is directed
{The writer of these notes has a
manly ace of eight years of age who
isi many ambitions in hit young
^kenrt, but one gr$at fear, namely.
iHu>t he may do something that will
Watlt him as a "sissy.” It la a
labia thing that boys
feel that way, provided, of
course, that they ere property In
structed In home and church so that
know that real manly courage
not mean being a ruffian or an
“cncodly person.
! One could wish that more of thai
•spirit were evident In the Christian
•Church. We really have all too
tmany professed believers who ere
'“soft”—afraid of the bard blows of
PBe. These people tell young folk
Ibofe by word and deed that Chris
•tiaaitjr is a religion for the soft
hearted and sentimental, when as a
putter of fact it calls for all the
{red-blooded vitality of the strongest
'mar, and woman. Here it a place
tar the boy or girl, man or woman
who has a backbone end the spirit
•f the pioneer. It Is a great and
glorious battle in which we are en
gaged. Paul knew it and lived It.
Tto the progress of his ministry we
'Sod him at Athena (Acta 17). where
• brilliant appeal to the philoso
phers of that placa brought little
result From thence he cornea to
Corinth, one of the greatest and
most wicked cities of the day. Here
•fee meets a difficult task.
I. Banna Inability (Acts 1A1, 4
«).
To call a man a “Corinthian”
was to label him at a drunkard
end a libertine. The town was really
tough and Paul walked right into
that impossible situation to preach
flae gospel. He naturally first went
to the Jews in the synagogue, but
when he preached Christ they made
short work of putting hJn out.
ftalhor uro ah/M.I/l ka
initely separated himself from
them. Consider the graphic picture
In verse 6. But he didn't go far,
be set up his testimony for Christ
ki the house nest door, where God
bed a believer all prepared to re
ceive him. The preacher of the
truth may move, but he does not
run away from God's appointed
place
Opposition was evidently keen,
and »s Paul came and went the
leaders In the synagogue would
probably meet him and make
known their plans to destroy him.
This, added to the opposition of the
wicked city, was enough to diseour
ace any man. He had some results
4*. S), but on the whole he had to
struggle with the heartbreak of an
impossible task. But the hour of
man's extremity it the time of God's
opportunity There comes
IL Dtvlae Encouragement (Acts
1»:9-U).
God never tries Hu people be
yond their ability to bear It is not
always given to His servants to have
the assurance of success which
came to Paul, but in all probability
they do not face such staggering
discouragement. In any case, those
who have walked In the valley as
well as on the mountain top with
the Lord testify that He gives
strength in the hour of weakneas
to all those who trust Him.
Paul was assured that no bodily
harm would come to him and that
be was not to think that he was
alone, for there were many of God's
people even tn that wicked city.
Safety and fellowship were thus as
sured, and none too soon, for al
most at once e bitter persecution
broke out against him. Read verses
13-1? Note that the assurance of
God's protecting care does not mean
bat we shall escape trials and sor
rows, but that we are to be kept tn
She midst of them.
tn. The Secret ef Vlctery (I Cor.
S: 15).
Looking back on hu ministry hs
Corinth. Paul writes of the secret of
ki successful work there. This la a
passage that every teacher and
preacher af God's Word should
prayerfully ponder. Eloquence, hu
man wisdom, and aelf-confldenca
may be the besla of success to the
things of the world, but not tn the
ministry of the gospel. How well we
know that the meet carefully rea
soned and well-phrased message
may be utterly flat and powerless,
while the stumbling utterance from
a heart full of the love and grace
gf God "becomes a fire and a
searching and a burning, because
the Holy Spirit eatrhes it up and
bears It upon the inner conscious
seas at men’’ (Morgan!. The man

Dry Toast and
Lettuce
By OSCAR SMITH
9 Aasortsted Newspapers.
WNV Ss:vi«*.
JAMES BHADLEY filled a plate
with generous helpings of chops,
mashed potatoes, gravy and scal
loped cheese, and passed it over to
his wife
"No. Jim. Keep that for yourself.
I’m eating just lettuce and broiled
halibut tonight. Saddles, lie downl
You can have a plate in the kitchen
after a while."
, Saddles was the Boston terrier
they were keeping for Jim's brother
Ben while Ben and his wife were
Jp California. Saddles thumped his
tali on the floor and lay down on
the rug.
"What’s the matter with you,
Bess'? Not getting finicky about
your eating, are you?"
"Oh. Jim Saddles and I went
for a walk today. I got weighed
down at the corner drug store, and,
Jim, I weighed 150 pounds I”
"I can think of worse things than
feat. Suppose you do weigh 150
pounds. I see lots of women wary
day that look at if they should
weigh ISO pounds. If women would
forget about how much they weigh
and think more about how they look,
they would be easier to look at."
“But, Jim! Think of my weigh
ing 150 pounds. I am supposed to
weigh only 155. I think you are Just
horrid not to care."
"I wouldn’t let that worry me.
The scales were probably off. You
look about the same to me."
"Oh. no. Jim. It wasn’t the scales.
I went right over to the other drug
store and I weighed Just the same.
Fix a plate for Saddles, won’t you?”
Days of agony followed for Bess
as she sat across the table and
watched Jim eat creamed vegeta
bles, pie, and heap sugar In his
coffee while she ate lettuce without
dressing, toast and an occasional
chop.
Every day she took Saddles for a
walk, and every day she Just dread
ed to pass the scales at the drug
store. Of course, she didn’t have to
get weighed on them, but black
coffee at mealtime was bad enough
without having to look at the scales
every day.
At the end of three weeks, Bess
weighed HO pounds and even she
realized that her good disposition
was suffering from her dieting re
gime.
By this time the scales were such
a torment that she took Saddles
down the alley ar.d up the other
street for his walk to keep from
i having to pass the drug stores ".hat
were on either corner of the block.
There was a bakery shop on the
Siretrt Stic vba& nuw laiking, emu wcaa
had to walk very fast and look
straight ahead to keep from think
ing about the thick pies and creamy
covered cakes that filled the win
dows. ■fr
Every night she did the crane
dive and the knee dip and rode
Imaginary bicycles in the air until
the was dizzy from even thinking
about exercises.
One day she was brave enough
to take Saddles by the drug store
for hit walk, and she weighed 137 'k■
After that, she allowed herself sugar
and cream for her coffee, and again
as Jim came borne one evening, she
said:
"Jim, Just think! I got weighed
again today snd I weighed 152. It’s
positively uncanny. I don’t see what
else there is that I can do without."
For another ten days, Bess exist
ed on lettuce, dry toast and coffee.
The Bradleys came home from
California and Ben came after Sad
dles.
As be was leaving with him, he
called out:
••Did he do any of his cute tricks
for you. Bess? I taught him one
I that made Jane so cross. I claim
| It's pretty cute. Whenever she goes
j to get welched, he puts his paws
on the scales behind her. He got
so he could just about make It fif
teen pounds more. Sometimes he
got a little higher than that. Until
she caught on to what he was doing.
Jane just about lived on dry toast,
lettuce and black coffee. Pretty
good, isn't it?”
Bess gasped, then rushed for the
ice box.
When she came back, she had a
cheese sandwich, salad with mayon
naise. and a thick piece of berry pie.
Elephants Routed
Armed only with a carpet slip
per, J. C. Dempsey, an official of
Rolhwell, England, drove two cir
eus elephants from his cabbage
petch. They escaped from their
trainers and began to cause great
devastation In the patch. Councilor
Dempeey was at a meeting when a
neighbor telephoned: "Elephants
are deatroylng your eabbagee.
Come at onct.” When he arrived at
his home he seized a carpet alipper
and set out for the battle. At first
tha pachyderms seemed ready for
an argument, but a few slap# with
the slipper convinced them that
they should be qq their way.
