Thursday, October 20, 1932 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER SIX Fifty and Fit A MAN is as old—or as young— as his organs. At fifty, you can be in your prime. Why go along with “fairly good health” when you might be enjoying vigor you haven’t felt for years? ' There’s a simple little thing any one can do to keep the vital organs stimulated, and feel fit all the time. People don’t realize how sluggish they’ve grown until they’ve tried it. The stimulant that will stir your system to new life is Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin. It will make & most amazing difference in many ways. This famous doctor’s prescription is a delicious syrup made with fresh herbs, active senna, and pure pep sin. It starts its good work with the first spoonful. That’s all you need to drive away the dullness and headache of a bilious spell, and rid the system of that slow poison that saps your strength. It’s better than a tonic for tired bowels, and unlike habit-forming laxatives you can take it freely or give it to any child. And it isn’t expensive. Get some syrup pepsin today, and take a little tonight. Don’t wait until you're sick to give your system this wonderful help. You can avoid those spells of biliousness or consti pation. A spoonful every now and then is better than constant worry about the condition of your bowels, or fear of auto-intoxication as you grow older. Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin protects the system. All druggists keep this preparation.

C. 5= Writes "of “THF^W-tSTER EXECUTIVE" Supplying a wwk-to-week inspiration (or the heavy* burdened who will hnd ^verybumaa tnal paralleled imhe experiences of ‘‘The Man Nobody Knows,* A CAREER OPENS UP Is it not high time for a larger reverence to be given to that quiet unassuming Joseph the Father of Jesus? To Mary, his wife, the church has assigned a place of eternal glory; and no thoughtful man can fail to be thankful for it. But v/ith the glorification of Mary, there has been an almost complete neglect of Joseph. This is partly because Mary lived to be known and remembered by the disciples, while nobody remembered Joseph. Was he just an untutored peasant, married to a superior woman, and baffled by the genius of a son whom he could never understand? Or was there, underneath his self-effacement, a vigor and faith that molded the boy’s plastic years? Was he a happy companion to the youngsters? Did he carry the youngest, laughing and crowing on his shoulders from the shop? To these questions the narrative gives no answer. And since this is so—we have a right to form our own con ception of the character of this vastly significant and wholly unknown man, and to be guided by the one momentous fact which we do know. It is this. He must have been friendly and patient and fine; he must have seemed to his children to be an almost ideal parent—for when Jesus sought to give mankind a new conception of the character of God, he could find no more exalted term for his meaning than the one word “Father.” * Thirty years went by. Jesus had discharged his duty; the younger children were big enough for self-support. The strange stirrings that had gone on inside him for years were crystallized by the reports of John’s success. The hour of the great decision arrived; he hung up his tools and walked out of town. What sort of looking man was he that day when he appeared on the bank of the Jordan and applied to John for baptism? Unfortun ately the Gospel narratives supply no satisfying answer to these ques tions; and the only passage in ancient literature which purports to be a description of him has been proved a forgery. Nevertheless, it requires only a little reading between the lines to be sure that almost all the painters have misled us. They have shown us a frail man, under muscled, with a soft face—a woman’s face covered by a beard—and a benign but baffled look, as though the problems of living were so griev ous that death would be a welcome release. This is not the Jesus at whose word the disciples, left their business to enlist in an unknown cause. And for proof of that assertion consider only four aspects of his ex perience: the health that flowed out of him to create health in others; the appeal of his personality to women—weakness does not appeal to them; his lifetime of outdoor living; and the steel-like hardness of his nerves. • ■ ■ ty i^ev.

REV. A. R. STUART, Minister. -tXI- The family is always changing. It is one of the most sensitive and fluid of our institutions. Today, under the impact of formidable forces, it shows unmistakable signs of strain. S.ome of the functions it for merly performed have been taken from it. New patterns of thinking and action have arisen to threaten its stability. Yet we must not be alarmed.' Anything that is really human can not be crushed. Surely the family is the most personal of all institu tions, closer than any other to human nature. This means that while outside influences can loom large in the nurture of children, there are certain functions which the home, as always, will continue to fulfill. One cf these is fellowship. The child craves companionship. He thrives on affection. Here the home affords him his best opportunity. There he is thrown into constant and intimate association with parent, brother, or sister. Another function of the home is guidance. No one needs direction more than the child. He is helpless, inexperienced, woefully ignorant. He is also excessively curious, proposing unanswerable questions. Now no guide can possibly be more influential in the nurture of a child than a wise parent. Then, too, a good home furnishes a child with the best possible type of stimulation. We live in a day of over-stimulation. Children are early immersed in a bath of high-powered excitement. But the stimulus of the talking picture, the loud speaker, the speeding motor car, powerful as it is, is clearly secondary to that of the family circle, rhere life unconsciously moulds life. ' A fourth function the home promotes is interpretation. Every day the child has new experiences which he is eager to share with the other •members of the family group. Who can unfold their meaning bet ter than a discerning and sympathetic mother? Bunyan, in “Pilgrim’s Progress,” introduces, the house of the Interpreter. If all of these duties are reverently fulfilled, in the fear of God, and the spirit of Jesus, then the program Paul advances in our lesson of rearing children “in the nurture and admonition < of the Lord” will be realized. THrraMiiY t ’. JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D, A TALK WITH TEACHERS It is long ago now—that I was a teacher in rural schools. I can look back and see my unfitness for such responsible position, but my standing then was “average” or above. My license was- based on quali fication. Standards are higher today. If I were a teacher today, I would spend much time in trying to bring about “health habits” in the children. It can be done without books. Habits of eating, drinknig, posture, and study; the proper use of the eyes with regard to light; proper forms of exercise, with caution for the growing organism not to overtax in eagerness to break records. Children should be taught less of vitamins than of breakfast value r —begin no day’s work without a good breakfast. End no hard day’s work with a heavy meal. A quart of wholesome water daily for second or third grades. Bad practice to wash down solid food with gulps of water; masticate the food better—never swallow coarse, hard fibers that have to be washed down. Sit and stand erect—do not “slouch’ in the living room, at dining-table, or when walking. No hard exercise immediately after eating, nor with the stomach empty. Don’t go to work hungry. Children should be able to sleep on either side,—I should be suspicious of the little fellow who only sleeps on the back. .Class pride in the school-room may be increased by “every pupil erect.” Children love a degree of parade. An upright battalion may be organized, to overcome slouching. A better, sturdier array of bodies will be the reward. Breathing exercises pay wonderfully, and may be practiced in concert drills. Talk to the children about the lungs and their importance; start an “anti cough” campaign, with more hand kerchiefs and cough-dodging. God bless our teachers!
