Memory Selection: Joh$ IfjtS.
Beginning the year with studies in
the GOspel of John, we first observe 1
that the Gospel is ft many respects
different from the other three. John
wrote of the mystery of Christ’S
Fence, that men might know Who
he is' and what they tbrohgh him '
may become. \. t ' r .J . ‘ \
Some think John's Idea of Eter
nal Logos came ftemr the Greeks:
others say the. Idea was Jewish.
Whatever the origin of its use, John
employs the word WORD with a new
significance.^; Certainly no word
could be used that is morr stmple
and yet mom myatmtous.
Language is a system of words-r
mosds stand for things cod express
; Mass. By his words a man oommu-
nicates with others and also shows
i his own character. See, then, bow
accurate ia the use of the word
j WORD as applied to Jesus. He is
j the revelation of God to men. “The
Weed was made flesh and dwelt
among us.“ 'And “in Him was Life,
andtbe LKe was the.Light of men.**
. then. In this first chapter of
John, we find the Eternity and Di
vinity of Jesus and the fact that He
Limme as & revelation of God. The

f timtntr^uhm ts tram all other books

HE PROVED HE WAS BIG
. . . . ? ’ ’ .* ^ % .
I HAVE before me a letter which I shall always treasure.. lit :
is dated June 9th, 1039, and is from Charles M. Schwab, the ;
steel magnate who died in September. Here are two sentences; r
*‘I read with interest your articles each day .
as-they appear in the newspaper. I especially :
enjoyed the one in this morning’s paper about ’
Joseph P. Day.”
Do you realize that a great deaLof, Schwab’s
Success was built on-giving people honest, sin- •
cere appreciation? Not flattery, - mind you, but ’
honest approval. When we entered the World ■
War, the first thing that President Woodrow '
Wilson did was to appoint Schwab head of the
Dale vCmmegto Emergency Fleet Corporation. Ships! More
Ships I That was the call. -v ’ ' ,
. T .TI 1 ® gigantic Bethlehem steel plant was tunned into a
4 factory for making United States ships. This plant extended
• for more than a mile along the Lehigh River. Men worked i
night and day; the moment one craw came out, another was '
Tushed in and t66k its place. % .
Tiie Camden yards started rush work on ii ship named*
: the “Tuckahoe.” ■ It was to be a test job of what the plant •
t ebuld accomplish. Schwab knew that the only way to get • •
> that ship built quickly, would be by firing the men with L
• enthusiasm. He was stationed in Washington, but he went *.
to the plant and talked with the men, telling diem that the :
whole country was watching them, and that they must put •
. their best effort into the building of the Tuckahoe.
* The men worked with a veritable passion, like men inspired!
and on the 27th day the iTuckahoe Hvas finished. A triumph for
America; It hearteilecf^the Allies. ! ' °
■ : i f • \
Now Schwab made a characteristic gesture. He called the
men together and thanked them—and gave each of them a silver
medal and .a facsimile of a letter of‘appreciation from President *
Wilson 1 Then he called for Thoms® E. Mason, superintendent .'
of hulls in the Camden yards. Ttys superintendent was an old
hand at ship building; he had builjt 225 ships before the Tqcka-
hoe. But never had he had a moment like this, for Schwab put ‘
his hand on his shoulder and said, “Here is where the credit <
should go. Here’s the man who built the Tuckahoe 1” And
then Schwab put his hand in his own pocket and pulled out his
gold watch and said, *T want you to'accept this token of my ap
preciation.^ It has' my name engraved on it, and when you see
that name in the years to come it may serve to remind you that
I have appreciated what you have done.”

SULKING UNNECESSARY, SAYS AUTHORITY ^
■pARENTS are always looking for
ways to make their children’s
future more secure and these ways
usually involve great sacrifice on
their part —money
for education, for
teeth straightening,
for opportunities ta
acquire an assured
social manner,
clothes in which to
make a nice ap
pearance.
▲ 11 thesis, of
course, are vital to
the*'child’s future
happiness, and no
parent minds the sacrifice and work
involved. But in providing them
don’t overlook some of the assets
your child will need which cost noth
ing at alL For instance, one char
acteristic which will contribute enor
mously to making his life run
smoothly is the ability to forget a
grievance. Anger ia something we
all need to feel and to express at
times. But anger which stays in the
mind until it becomes resentment is
deadly poison.
Begin, then, when your child is
very little to help him get over the
sulks quickly. In the days of Elsie
Dinsmore's papa it was considered
a parental virtue to keep a child
trembling and gulping and feeling
terribly wicked for houre after pun
ishment had been administered.
Nowadays, w* believe that
punishment should grow out of
the child’s unacceptable behav
ior, such as leaving the habitual
dawdler behind if he isn’t ready
to go when the car is, separating
the quarrelsome child from his
playmates if he insists on mak
ing trouble, serving no dessert ta
the young kitchen raider who
has gobbled up half the raisins
and nuts meant for the evening
padding, or a radio ban on the
boy or girt whoso homework be
comes a family headaohe because
hi puts' It off until bedtime.
r
.
Bqt having decided on the neces
sity for punishment and worked out
a fair one, do not try to collect a '
further* emotional debt from, the ,
child. Of course, no matter how de- v
served the punishment or how cas-
ual you may have been about it, a v
child naturally resents it at first. '
For we have to be pretty well adjust- ‘
ed human beings to acbept our des- ;
serts hi a sporting manner. But *
become a
‘ *(
you’ll be surprised how early children
can learn to do this if you never let
sulking' or resentment
habit.
Often an you need do to banish a
grievance is direct the child’s play
into some activity which he does
particularly well. Another way of
clearing the air after an unhappy
scene is to suggest something the
child can do for you which he will
enjoy doing and which will give him
a sense of being a useful member of
the family. It Is good for a child
to feel sorry for his bad moments,
but he shouldn’t be made to feel
worthless or an outcast because of
them.

Played basketball in New York City
and football in Hawaii within a week
—both games for the University of
Nevada. They flew 5000 miles be
tween games.
n inety-nine miles an hour doesn’t
seem so fast in this age of jet planes,
out when a pitched ball Is coming

P* baU that fast, according to tests
made by an army chronograph, a
device used to measure speed of pro-
yctlles. Bob’s fast one moves 145
IBet a second or 98.6 miles per hour.
This is a new world record . . . the
one, set in 1939 by Atley Donald
*r the Yankees, was 139 feet per sec-
and, or 94 m.pil. • ‘
Ball players wear special - made
ikoes with kangaroo skin uppers and
selected cattle hide soles. They cost
pround $16 a pair. Sdme men use as
many as ten pairs a season, discard
ing them as soon as they stretch
away from a perfect fit.
Football scoring was standardized
?n 1884. Constant rule changes have
; >een made since then. In 1915 num-
r.cring of football players was intro
duced. Professional football clubs
were first organized way back in
iS95.
