Review: What we have learned
From Genesis
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
CoodAJvice For A
Safe Fourth Of July
This year most of the nation will
oeJ-sbrate the Fourth of July with a
l&Eee-day^ holiday. Such a long
period for recreation is awaited
eagerijr fay us all. Yet its unusual
length doubles the hazards and
-danger to which we will be exposed.
Independence Day is known as
Ifce worst accident day of the year.
Tills year may break the tragic
record unless everyone guards oim-
*^f closely and observes all safety
iUfes. A list of “don’ts,” all excel-
Jfcot advice, has been prepared by
National Bureau of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters and fol-
. iters:
If you drive your car—Drive
Ifefely:
Oan’t drive recklessly—it’s a long
fciliday and there’s plenty of time.
Don’t take out your car unless it
Is in first-class condition.
Don’t drive on the wrong side of
4fce road—keep to the right.
Don’t drive too long without rest
ing—mental’ lapses due to fatigue
cause accidents.
Don’t pass other cars unless you
iaye a clear view ahead; don’t cut
in and out of trajfic lines; don’t
ptaas or fail to slow down at inter
sections.
II you go .swimming—Swim Safe-
*:
Don’t attempt marathon races by
xsTimming too long or too far.
Don’t venture out into too deep
water if you’re not a strong swim-
jeer.
Don’t swim away from the crowd
—' 1 Irr unity there is strength.” \
Don’t indulge in ducking others
-or at frightening weak swimmers
or children.
Don’t lie too long in the sun—
sua poisoning is injurious and can
Ik ’iatal.
If you celebrate With fireworks—
Celebrate Safely:
Don’t hold lighted firecrackers,in
3»3or hand or throw them close to
others.
_ Don’t explode firecrackers near
ccaibustible : naterials. v
Don’t celebrate with guns loaded
witfa real cartridges or shot; fire
crackers and toy cap pistols are
dangerotfs enough.
Don’t fail to treat Injuries, even
Ha? most minor ones, immediately
aad intelligently. Tetanus pois
oning works slowly but surely.
Don’t get too close to a display
of fireworks—premature explosions
<&ecur.
While Genesis means beginnings
this quarterly review lesson which
covers this first book of the Holy
Bible. No genealogist can calculate
the time involved. In fact Jehovah
was before all time of record. He
was the self-existent cause of all
creation in untold process of time.
Sin is a subject that has a large
place in this book. The Bible as a
whole tells how sin can be pardon
ed. Genesis 3.15 is called the First
Evangel and is fulfilled in the
atonement of Jesus Christ on Calv
ary. While the sin of Adam and
Eve separated them from God, He
nt once made provision, through
the work of the Son on the cross.
After the Flood man was given
another opportunity. Redemption
was to come through the Hebrew
people and Abram. Abram proved
his faith in God when he was to
obey what he understood to be the
requirement of the Almighty in of
fering his son Isaac in sacrifice.
Isaac in time did his part though
he was overshadowed by both his
father Abraham and his son
Jacob. Those who appear to play
minor parts are doing work that
is essential in the necessary pro
gress of the plot.
Jacob made many mistakes and
paid dearly for them. His ambi
tion for the birthright was com
mendable but his methods were
contemptible.
Joseph is one of the most valu
able persons for character study in
the O’d Testament. He preferred
a clean conscience in the presence
of God to any impure contact that
would dwarf him as a man. He
went from the pit in Dothan to the
position of Prime Minister in
Egypt. The family reunion in
Goshen marked the beginning of
the birth of a nation. The Golden
Text has a greatly enlarged mean
ing: (Romans 3:23).

VX she can
man—”
“3tu(T and nonsense! She wouldn’t
have the head for it. Imagine Miss
Kline or Miss Hicks here going out to
sell bonds—imagine their selling any!”
‘‘They haven't got the head for it,”
shouted young Toni Venner. “That’s
what I'm telling you. Get a woman
of the right sort and she could sell
bonds with the best salesman we’ve
got—”
The middle-aged Kirk Yates shrieked
his answer. “But if you get a woman
like that you've got to pay as much.”
“Then pay, by gummy, pay.” bawled
Tom Venner, with several emphatic
bangs on his desk. “The point isn’t
that I want to get a bargain, but I
want to get people that will stick.
Take Bloden, or Smyth, or Klinger—
any of ’em—they sold bonds for awhile
and when they got real good at it,
they got better jobs, went somewhere
else or started out by themselves. My
idea is that a woman isn’t so ambitious
or so daring. . Get two or three trained
in, and we’ll have a staff you can de
pend on. Get me?”
Mr. Kirk Yates sniffed, indicating
thereby that, while he didn’t “get"
Mr. Venner at all, he was through ar
guing. “Go ahead,” was all he said.
“I'm only a partner. I can’t stop you
from trying an experiment. But don’t
start out with three or four. Get one
and see if it works.”
So it was that the employment agent
who supplied the bond house of Yates
and Venner with stenographers, comp
tometer operators and other office
workers had a rather unusual position
to fill. There was only one applicant
on the list at this agency that was con
sidered suitable. This was Jane Hay
den. The employment agent sent a
sealed note along with her. Tom Ven-
ner read it through while Jane Hayden
sat waiting at the other side of Ids
desk for r.n interview.
“She does not seem to have the
striking personality you may thfhk
necessary for selling bonds. But there
is something about her eyes that I
should think would take the trick. And
she’s very intelligent.”
Tom Venner had not noticed her
eyes as she came in the room, he had
merely noticed with a trifle disappoint
ment that she was a young woman of
middle size and not commanding ap
pearance, who mad? no special effect
when she came in the room.
Then, as he turned to talk to her.
she lifted her eyes, sober, light brown
eyes they were, with exquisitely mould
ed brows. They were eyes that, had
he never seen them again. lie could not
lyive forgotten—trustful and trust
compelling, eyes that made you forget
everything else save the personality of
the young woman who owned them.
“I think you dould sell bonds, or
anything else,” Tom said, trying not
to look at the eyes. lest he be too eas
ily influenced. “The question Is wheth
er you are willing to learn enough
about bonds to know how to do it.”
Jane Hayden said she knew she
could learn, ns she was used to study,
and after an arrangement had been,
agreed upon—whereby she was to be
paid As much for what she did as a
man salesman—she was formally tak
en into the employ of Yates and Ven
ner.
Mr. Yates remarked to Tom that he
had certainly picked a pair of good
eyes, adding: “But can she sell
bonds?”
Tom Venner said. “We’ll see.”
Jane Hayden soon proved her ability
as a saleswoman. She sold bonds and
more bonds, and she was always on
hand when either Tom Venner or Mr.
Yates wanted to see her. She never
seemed to have to play golf or eat
lunch or go motoring with the people
to whom she sold the bonds. By ail
means she was the best bond “sales-
mnn’-’ they had.
“Here’s something that I don’t sup
pose you’ve thought of,” said Mr.
Yates. “Here we’ve got a first-rate
bond salesman. She has learned the
business and she's making money for
us and for herself. And not being a
man she isn’t ambitious. She won’t
want to start out for herself,
was my idea about getting a
an—”
“Your idea!” cried Tom. “I
remember that it was your idea.”
“I didn’t say much,” smiled Mr.
Vates. “but that morning I asked you
to get a girl—that was the idea I had
in view. There’s no reason now why
this Miss Hayden shouldn’t remain
with us for years.”
“No reason but one.” said Tom Ven
ner hastily and with color mounting in
his already rather ruddy face. “She
might marry some one in the busi
ness—”
“Well, as I am a married man my
self.” said Mr. Yates with a conceited
smile, “and as Trigger can’t get his di
vorce and ns Royden is about a foot
shorter than Miss Hayden, and as Ben
Short Is engaged. I don’t see much to
worry about.”
“What about me?” cried Tom.
“You!” gasped Mr. Yates. “Does
*he care about you? Well, I’m blessed.”
Then he laughed.
“She’s got wonderful eyes,” said Mr.
Yates, “but It's bad business for you
*n take her away from the firm.”

, CHICAGO STADIUM, June 16.—
President Hoover and Vice Presi
dent Curtis, who bore the Republi
can baniuv to victory in 192a, eacn
were nominated on the first bal
lot by the G. (j. P. national con
vention ocday.
Making almost a clean sweep of
the first and only roil call, .Resi
dent Hoover was renominated \.o-
day by a Republican convention
| which had spent nearly all of :.ts
concluding session shouting his
praises.
The rolling tide of his support
lifted his total to 1126 1-2 out ox the
1154 votes in the convention. The
others were scattered in the official
computation as follows:
Senator John J. Blaine of vVis-
coiisLi, 13.
Foimer President Calvin Cooiidge
of Massachusetts, 1 1-2.
Dr. Joseph I. France of Mary
land, 1.
Former Senator James vV. Wads
worth of New York, 1.
Former Vico President Charles G.
Ca.wes, 1.
Not voting, 3.
Absent, 1.
CHICAGO STADIUM, June 13.—
The Republican party, in noisy and
demonstration-tossed convention
assembled, gave a new pledge of
support today to President Hoover.
Reaching at last the one item of
its whole bill on which there was
substantial unanimity—renomina
tion of the president—the conven
tion marched in a long and brill
iant parade in his honor, with the
standards of the state crowding one
another thickly for places in line.
California led off, its delegation
jumping to its feet shouting when
Joseph L. Scott of Los Angeles,
making the Hoover^ nominating
speech, concluded with a tribute to
the leadership of the Californian
who sits in the White House.
At the head of the circling dele
gates Governor James Rolph of
California and Governor William
T, Gardiner of Maine, whose seats
were near together in the front row
of the delegate section, joined in
carrying at the head of the parade,
a thirty foot banner, reading- “from
Maine to California press on with
Hoover.”
A shouting, dancing, holiday pa
rade it was. All the familiar para
phernalia of convention demon
strating had been provided. A
band 4 mixed with the narchers,
winding in and out among the dele
gates. . Tin horns and whistles
added their discord to the riot of
aoise.
High above, five thousand toy
balloons, every color of the rain
bow, were released to float far and
wide qc^ross the broad hall, their
tints enlivened by the daylight
glare from the great spotlights.
'Above the speaker’s stand a dele
gate held high the first picture of
the president to be displayed in the
convention.
