Every endeavor has sideline ad visers. There are always those who are willing to tell how a thing should be done, but never are •known to do it themselves. There are always a few punks in the bleachers ready to yell “take him out!” at the first tough break. You have to expect that. I never saw a community that didn’t have a few natural bom op positionists, but they are often an asset rather than a liability. Per sonally I would rather have a few real out-and-out, hardheaded, brutally frank “show me” people who have a reputation for lacking Community spirit, than a crowd of slaves to the God Boost, who get all hoped up over an undigested scheme that is supposed to do “wonders and doll babies” over night, and then forget about it in less than a week. Mainy people call a man who doesn’t go down in his pocket to suoport every wild cat boosting scheme that comes along, a knock er. I don’t. I call him a good business man, and I’d rather have this man back me on any endeav or than the fellow who “comes across’ just to keep from being called a piker at the next Cham ber of Commerce meeting. Give me the man every time who says “no, I won’t subscribe, for I do not believe that your plan is right or will accomplish the in tended purpose.” Such a man is thinking about the community, and when sold will stay sold; while the other fellow doesn’t think—he does it to be a good fellow, all of which is fine and dandy, but it don’t BUILD Communities. There are too many good fellows in the average town and not enough fellows who think things out along the lines of “good busi ness,” and refuse to “come in’ un til they are “sold.” I have never been able to figure out why a group of good business men will go ahead and do things civically, in ways and along lines that they would not countenance in the con duct of their own business, unless it is because of this thing of “be ing a good fellow.” If any man or anyone organiza tion had one tenth of the money that has been thrown away by civic organizations they could almost rebuild and remake all the towns in this good old U. S. A. which goes to show that it isn’t that peo ple are not willing to do something to build their communities, but that their efforts are misdirected —t^iey shoot wild, don’t aim, and often actually do not know ; what they are shooting at. If a busi ness were handled in the . same Tray there would be another job for the bankruptcy courts. Maybe it’s too bad that, towns who are mis managed and misrun cannot be closed up the same as a business. Now do not misunderstand; there is no unjust criticism here. It is just a plain fact. And while dealing in facts it can do no further harm to state another truth. The aver age bunch of men—these good fel lows—who band themselves to gether for the purpose of “making the community of which they are a part a bigger, better, more in teresting, more attractive place in which to live, work, play and make money,” and otherwise improve and build-up their community, always] want one or two things: to start! it the finish, or to do something' that carries with it a lot of hurrah and excitement. They want a show, and a lot of fireworks, a | celebration and a great amount of i whatever they are after, all at once. It is a difficult matter to interest the average civic organiza tion in anything else, but its “good business” and not circus stuff that builds. ;t ’ txt An Indiana man is raising a new crop of hair and another set of teeth at 68.

J ANE FAIR possessed three price less qualities: imagination, sense of perspective, and tact. The daugh ter of parents comfortably stationed In life, she had deliberately chosen an excellent business school as a preface to life rather than allowing her alert faculties to trickle over four years of liberal arts at some women’s univer sity of note. She^ had charm of manner, smart appearance and no lack of men friends; but marriage and men were not her goals. Responsibility, and executive post, possibly a partnership —these embroidered the rosy pattern of her dreams. The first rung of the ladder was stenography. That she knew. Her gently protesting father said: ‘‘But, my child, there are millions of stenographers. What future can you possibly hope for In that way?” Jane replied on the eve of her em ployment by a large importing office. “Of course, there are millions of ordinary stenographers, dad. They’ll always be stenographers; but I’m dif ferent. You’ll see!” So Jane Fair launched out on the sea of business with high hope and the conviction that Fate and her own qualifications would ultimately win distinction for her. She found It a choppy and a surly sea. Had she not possessed her moth er’s grit and her father’s intelligence she would have fled many times dur ing those first three years afloat back to the comfortable haven of her parents’ home. The design of those years traced seven positions for her; not one of which could by any conceivable range of thought be said to embody a future. Rubber stamp work entirely, offering no scope for her rea! abilities. One September evening Jane climbed atop a Fifth avenue bus, bound for an open-air concert uptown. She felt the need of music, or something soothing and inspiring, because she had that day been fired for daring in her transcription of a letter, to im prove some faulty grammar and sen tence construction. That was that! Jane’s starry lane t° fame was -de veloping into a never-ending, tor tuous trail. The fresh air of autumn fanned her cheeks as the bua sped uptown; but Jane was too depressed to more than faintly note the caress of the breeze. Tomorrow—-the agencies again and another sterile placement with an exorbitant commission to pay. Suddenly she became alive to a conversation carried on by two young men, seated together In front of her. “A small business with excellent prospects . . . I’m getting nervous and ragged with burden of respon sibility . . . losing business by my curt, lifeless letter ... no knack for writing ’em . . . what to do . . . can’t afford a $50 secre tary with sense to handle ’em . . . feel down about the whole busi ness Hunch is a rude but descriptive word for the glowing sense of golden opportunity that flowed through Jane Fair as those words registered. They inspired the flash of decision. Here was her Initial chance to prove her claim that she ranked over a million of others. ..“Excuse meJane • leaned for ward and spoke almost into the young mans’ ear, “but I couldn’t help hear ing you. 1 know I can help with the letters. If you’ll just give me figures, terms and ideas I’ll do the rest . . . and you can pay me anything you like until I demonstrate. Please, won’t you try me!” Never were there more astonished expressions than those of the two young men who both turned, wide; eyed, and met Jane’s friendly smile. A moment so; then the weary, hag gard face of the. one who had spoken beamed with pleasure. “What a break for me!” Joy in his tones. “If yo-’ can do what you say, •and will work awhile for twenty-five a week—well, I’ll give you the job to morrow morning, surest thing you know. Here's my card. I’m John Dixon.” “And I’m Jane Fair. I’ll be there!” Thus Jane Fair commenced to dem onstrate that she was different. Many evidences of it, small and large, caused John Dixon to thank Fortune fqr his luck that night on the bus top; but at Christmas time she won a victory for her young employer that caused him to know he must take no chance of ever losing her. It had been .a tough nut to crack all year, and now John was in danger of losing his best customer. He him self had written and written, unavail- ingly. “Let me write him entirely on my own,” Jane said. An answer arrived in the form of a generous order, a box of cigars for John and candy for Jane. There was more than g atitude in his heart as he rushed-into Jane s little cubby office waving the order. “You’ve won out,,kites, Fair,” John cried, bright glints III his..eyes. Jane was at his side 1 instantly and they eagerly read the ofder together, pleas ure flushing her face into warm color. . “Miss Fair—er—I say—Jane, I want you for a partner/’ “You mean—in business, Mr. Dixon?” “Why—well—surely, in busldsas - and—” Their eyes met juqt then and a mute message flashed its way from heart to Ifcart, ; '* / V*. ^ Improved Uniform International Lesson »Dy DEV.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Helping to Make Our Homes Good. JUNIOR TOPIC—Helping: to Make Our Homes Good. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—What I Owe to My Home. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—What Makes a Home Christian? I. A Godly Husband and Wife (Luke 1:5-7). The name Zacharlas means “Jeho vah hath remembered,’’ and the name Klisabeth means ‘‘A covenant maker.” 1. When they lived (v. 5). “In the days of Herod the king.” They lived in a day when godlessness was rife. The priesthood was corrupt, and the ruling classes most wicked. 2. Their character (v. 6). Both were righteous before God. Many appear to be righteous before man who are not righteous before God. They were so mated that they walked in the commandments of the Lord blameless. The highest la wedded life can be attained only when both husband and wife are united in Jesus Christ Their practical living .was manifested in obedience to God’s com mandments. 2. They were childless (v. 7). Though this godly couple were well mated and possessed the Joy of live Lord In their souls, there was a real lack in their home. No home is quite ideal into which no child has come. II. A Son Promised (Luke 1:8-23). 1. By whom (vv. 11, 19)? Gabriel, a special messenger of God, appeared and made known the good news to Zacharlas. 2. When (vv. 8-14)? While officiating as priest this good news came to him. From verse 13 the implication is that Zacharlas had been praying definitely about this mat ter. While he burned incense, which Is typical of prayer, the multitudes without were praying. 3. Characteristics of the child (vv. 15-17). (1) Shall he great in the sight of the Lord (v. 15). Though the people did not greatly esteem him, he was highly esteemed by the Lord. (2) Shall drink neither wine nor strong drink (v. 15). He was to he a Nazarlte, separating himself from sensuous things and (led icating himself unto the Lord (Num bers 0:1-6). (3) Shall be filled with the Holy Ghost (v. 15). The energy of the divine Spirit was needed to enable him to lead the peo ple to repentance (v. 10). (4) Shall go in the spirit and pow er of Elijah (v. 17). In this power he was to prepare the people for the coming of the Savior, and the salvation which he was to bring. 4. Zacharlas asking for a sign (vv. 18-23). Although the aged priest was ear uestly praying for the salvation-of Israel, the gracious promise of the angel which was the beginning of that salvation staggered his faith. The angel gave him a sign. Because he refused to praise God in faith for this gracious promise, God caused his tongue to he silent until the promise was fulfilled. God wants us to believe hfs promises no matter how contrary to reason they may seem. III. The Promise Fulfilled (Luke l: 57-04). * J. Neighlmrs and kinfolk rejoicing with Elisabeth (vv. 57, 58). 2. The child circumcised and named (vv. 50-63). On the eighth day they circumcised the child and named him “John’' (v. 12). By means of writing Zacha Has made known the name which he would have by divine Instruction. 3. Zacharlas praises God (v. G4). At this time God opened the mouth of Zacharlas, and he offered up praise to God. IV. Zacharias Prophesying (Luke 1:07-80). 1. Praising God for fulfillment of the promise of salvation (vv; 07-75). This was according to covenant promise. 2. John to be called “The Prophet of the Highest” (vv. 70-79). He was to go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways. 3. The growth of John (v. 80). He grew and waxed strong in the Spirit, and was In the deserts till the dk.y of his showing unto Israel.
