ROBERT rt HARPER T f Jesus and Covetousness. Lesson for September IS: Mxodus 20; IT: Proverbs 11: 24; Luke 12:13-21. Memory Selection: Proverbs Mt:28. last but not least among- the Ten Cbmmandments Is this: "Thou shalt not covet." For breaking this law cun lead men into many temptations and cause them to break other com mandments. A Qian In his desires aftbst respect a neighbor’s posses sions, If be Is to abstain from The Proverbs Show that the de- Wre of the righteous man Is only good, but the expectation of the sdeked leads to ruin. The covetous man who sought the am of Jesus In getting his brother m divide the Inheritance, led the ■aster to speak of the evil of covet ousness. A man’s life, he said, does ns* consist In the abundance of the Then he told the story of the rich and foolish fanner, whose life had moeeeded on three great mistakes— ■at he could live for and unto hlm- mU alone, that he could feed his aenl on corn, and that he had un- ■sslted time to enjoy what he pos sessed. He had lived for himself alone; he had said to his soul. "Thou Bast much goods laid up for many aean; take thins ease, eat, drink, dim be merry." Me spoke to his seal as if he might stable his soul and feed it like the beasts of his mnn. and he counted on many years m come. But God said unto him, "Thou fool; this night thy soul shall Be required of thee." It has been abserved that shrouds have no pocle st*.

Be sloppy. Drop ashes on the rugs of your friends and leave rings from your dr Ink- Ing glass on their tables. Break dishes, and burn holes in their sheets. When you bor row anything at all, either forget to return it at all or send it back damaged. It re- D. Carnegie quires little ef fort to dog-ear leaves of a book, or to mark- the puggs with a pencil. If the article borrowed is clothing, it is a simple matter to return it with a grease stain or a ripped seam. Never be punctual; always keep the other fellow waiting for you. How could you know that his time is of impor tance to him. "When yon stay overnight at a friend’s honse, leave the bath room In a mess of wet towels and spilled powder. Yon can manage to scatter powder on all the articles of the dresser, too, with very little effort. Send let ters without sufficient postage, and always mail your Christmas cards on December 24th. The ehances are you were Just as busy on December 15th, but— “2. Be over-solicitous. If a friend has a cold, keep fussing around him as If he were dying of pneumonia; tell everyone how awful he looks and how worried you are over him. Force gifts on your friends until you embarrass them; especially if you cant afford it; give the impression that you have to bribe your way into their friendship. Run futile little errands for them that they never wanted done, until they are crushed under a load of obligation. "If you will follow the above, plus yesterday’s suggestions. In all probability within one year you will not be bothered by hav ing any friends at aU. If by chance a few obstinate ones sen timentally linger on, I can offer a brief post-graduate course guaranteed to produce results in even the most aggravated cases. This includes Interfering with your friends' discipline of their children, causing troubls be tween husbands and wives, and Involving them in your personal fends, so that Jim can't invite you and Toin to the same party, or Nell has to be sure you never find out that she still sees Har riet! Just a little of this, and yon will find yourself perma nently blessed with solitude and In possession of unbroken priv acy for the rest of your life." « POPULARITY IMPORTANT TO CHILDREN t D OES your child bring friends home from school with him? Is he excited and happy as he speaks of school activities and of the boys and gi.L> in his class? Most chil dren nowadays like to go to school, but if your child is one of the few who still fret and fuss about it, ask yourself several searching questions concerning him. Is he enjoying maximum health? Are his eyes ready for school tasks—he may be six years old by the calendar and still be a year or so behind In the ability of his eyes to focus on the printed page. Have you had his hearing tested? Is he getting enough . sleep? Is he happy at home and unwonied about his relationship with both parents? Is he jealous of a brighter or more lovable brother or sister? Professional advice where neces sary, extra love - and understanding about home difficulties, these are the general remedies for meeting the problems implied by our questions. But there’s another Important ques tion to ask about your child in de termining whether he needs help In making a satisfactory adjustment to school—Is he popular with other children? First, mothers should bear in mind that it is often tragic for a child to be different from other children, even when this differ ence is a trait his parents are proud of. It is of particular im portance that he be dressed very • much as other children are. This isn’t difficult today when maga zines and stores present attrac tive school wardrobes in several price ranges, yet looking almost identical. As a matter of fact, the mother who is most likely to make mistakes is the one with too much money who can’t re sist finery for her children. The over-dressed child reacts either with insufferable vanity, or if ' sensitive to the approval of oth er children suffers from looking different. / > A little pocket money is also im portant to a child’s happiness within the school group. He ought to be able to Join the others for a soda now and then without running home first to ask for the money. If your local movie has a Saturday Chil dren’s show, your child will miss a whole week’s chatter if he can t join the others in discussing it. Keep your child as free as pos sible of special restrictions—if the other boys ride their bikes to school, don’t insist that Junior leave his at home because you are afraid the gang may wander too far afield after school hours. Investigate all possible dangers to your children’s free movement in your community. Then make rules prohibiting the taking of serious risks, but don’t tie them down to a certain area just to minimize the wear and tear on your own nervous system. 1 f Of course you can only go so far In making children alike. A gifted, creative child can never be pourea into the common mold. He can suf fer, though, from the disdain of ht-> classmates if his parents Drag abou*. him or build up his ego too much a; home. The superiod child should N given every encouragement to do velop his talents, but at the sairr time, he should have modesty, gen erosity, and kindliness held up {•• him as of equal Importance achievement.

In addition, it was tested on police cars and the B.F.Goodrich test fleet over millions of miles in all kinds of weather under severest conditions, and even at high speeds.
