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.

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.” ■- -i terns uccedAfu MRS.

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. 1 A GENTLE LAXATIVE f0EA{ nH A X BABY EASE GOOD for KIDDIES up to 12 READ THE AD$ Along With the News i»r.
