BABSON Gloucester, Mass., August 24. — Many young people are now won dering where it is best for them to get a job and settle down. This year they have a choice of several jobs and can pick and choose. I advise against taking a position in one of the biggest cities; certain ly not in one of the twelve cities which Washington says is liable to be bombed in case of World War HI. As for settling down and raising a family in one of those twelve cit ies, this seems al- m o s t suicidal t o me. Here is the list: New York, Chicago, Philadel phia, Detroit, Los Angeles, C 1 e v e - land, Baltimore, St. Louis, Boston, Pittsburgh, Washington, D. C., and San Francisco. A study of the latest atomic in formation leads me to believe that about sixty miles from the center of such a big city is the safest loca tion. You will then be both free from the bombing and free from the radio waves; also you should not suffer from the refugee prob- w. , SAFETY FUST While drawing cartoons at a safety show, a car toonist stepped back to view his work, missed his footing and fell from the platform, breaking his arm.

Small Ciiias Look Good Not only are small cities better places to bring up a family, but they offer the best long-run busi ness opportunities. Before the pres ent day of high taxes and high liv ing expensts the big city offered at tractions to the young man who wanted to make money quickly; but not now. Today, smaller places offer the best long-run, money-making op portunities. Real estate in the above cities is now at top prices; but real estate in most smaller cit ies could double in price. Some day the manufacturers who are now in these twelve cities will flock to the smaller places. The time to buy small city property is now before the rush begins. Whvn To Buy or Soil The time to buy most property is when no one wants it. Such oppor tunities always exist somewhere— but few persons «are wise enough to take advantage of such bargains. The time to sell property is when someone else wants it badly. But there again most people will not sell then. The average man will not use his brain or else lacks courage when he buys or sells. Here is another thought: Buy land by the acre just outside any good city and later sell it by the foot. But buy it on the right tide of that city—that is, in the direc tion where the community is grow ing. Every city—large and small— is growing best in tome one direc tion where the best houses are be ing built. Bottor for Small Businassman A small city is sure to offer^ op portunities for young businessmen. “A small toad is better off in a small puddle** — he is apt to get drowned in a big pool. In the same way the small businessman may get drowned easily in some big city where he may be forced to pay tribute to racketeers or be bled by crjme gangs. In the smaller cities any young man of good character can join the local Chamber of Commerce and one of the service clubs and work up to be a director thereof. This he cannot do in one of the above twelve cities. He can buy stock in a local bank of smaller cities and perhaps become a director thereof. His wife can become active in the woman's club and Parent-Teacher association. Hava a Church Affiliation I nev^er feel so lonesome as when I go into a big city church. It is not the fault of the church; I do not blame the members for having np interest in me. The same applies to the Y.M.C.A.S of the biggest cities. But a small city church always makes me feel at home. Certainly no one should attend any church just to help himself in business or even to get acquaint ances. Yet, we all must have some social life and it is best to find our friends at a church rather than anywhere else. That is where I found the girl with whom I have lived fifty happy years! Moreover, this was in Gloucester. Massachu setts, where I am writing this col umn. It was then a small city, while Wellesley, where I started in business!, had, at that time, only about 5,000 inhabitants. us make sure that we accept the gift of God’s love, and minister it unto others. JESUS AND HIS MINISTRY Luke 4:14-22; 19:10; Mark 10:45; John 3:16. Memory Selection: Mark 10:45. In the early days of his ministry Jesus went to Nazareth, where he had been reared. Given the oppor tunity to read in the synagogue, he read a passage from Isaiah that Jesus applied to himself. He had come to preach to the poor, to set at liberty the captives, to give sight to the blind, and to heal those that were bruised. Another time he stated his mis sion thus: “The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” There is an interesting use of the tenses in the foregoing sen tence. Jesus is come and is present now in every place of need, to seek and to save that which was lost. Following a strife between the disciples as to which of them should be the greatest in the king dom, Jesus bade them to be as ser vants, even as the Son of man had come, not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. The sacrificial element is needed to glorify the witness to Christ and to make it successful. All the labors of Jesus for the salvation of men are to be traced to the divine love which sent Jesus to earth: “For God so loved the world : . . " This great verse has been strikingly called the “little Bible." The whole of the Bible may be compressed into that one verse. Let r if it* g Nerves, See Your | | Chiropractor - ■ DR. C. I.
