ROBERT R HARPER t Jesus Crosses Racial Boundaries Lesson for January 26: John 4:4-10, 21-30, 39-42. Memory Selection: John 4:14. It may be correctly said that Jesus crossed national boundaries as well as racial when he talked with the woman of Samaria at Jacob's well. The Samaritans were descend* ants of the colonists which the As* Syrians had placed in the territory of the Northern Kingdom of Israel when the Israelites were carried away. They were a race alien to the Jewish people and diverse from them in their rellgldtxs customs. The Samaritan woman first spoke to Jesus of the intolerance of the Jews toward her people. When Jesus spoke of the living water He could give, the woman said that the well was deep and He had nothing to draw with. When confronted by her own record, the woman sought to direct attention from herself by get ting up a discussion of religion and the relative Importance of Jerusa lem and Samaria as places of wor ship. But Jesus would not be divert ed but proceeded at once to teach her that God is a Spirit and that He must be and can be worshipped in spirit and in truth anywhere on eartli. Wilen. convinced that Jesus is the Messiah, the woman left her water- pot and returned to the city to tell the men of the wondrous Stranger at Jacob’s well and to invite them >to see Him. We are saved, not for ourselves aloge, but to *help save others. May we find such peace of soul and such a radiant hope of eternal life through Christ Jesus that it will be the constant Impulse [of the redeemed heart to tell others of the wonderful Saviour who has done so much for us.

TO SELL ’EM, TELL ’EM- Wilh An Ad IDEAS FULLY DEVELOPED O NE DAY in 1923 a girl was sitting in a theater watching • the movies. She said to herself, “Why, 1 can do better than that, myself!” Millions of people have said that, but this girl decided to prove it. She resolved actu ally to make a movie “short,’'—a two reel pic ture. Foolish, wasn’t it? For a girl to attempt the making of a picture when she knew nothing about it. Her name was Vyvyan Donner. She was making a living as an artist. You, probably, have actually heard her voice. But I musn’t get ahead of my story. Vyvyan had no money, so she knew she would Dale Carnegie have to hit on an idea that wouldn’t cost much to film. The next day she did. She would *how the difference in motors between 1903 and 1923. Simple. Now she hadn't anything to do but make it! She had once met a cameraman, so* she looked him up and told him her idea. He liked it and said he would help make it on a division basis. She looked around and finally found a > Cadillac of the vintage of 1903,—an ancient wreck that , 1 shimmied and shook when it started down the road, and ^ emitted more noise than a shipbuilding yard. k Her next step was to go to a local agent of the company • and tell him she wanted to borrow a brand-new Cadillac for the • picture. Naturally he was interested. Her next move was to procure a “location.” She found an apple orchard in bloom near White Plains, a suburb of Nlew ‘ York. Just what she wanted. Now her actors. Of course, she couldn't pay them so she asked her friends to act. She made some old-fashioned “dust- i ers.” Bought goggles at the five-and-ten, and a couple false mustaches. She made up her “actors,” depicting the difference , twenty years had made in motoring. It was humorous and , amusing. \ After cutting the picture, with the help of the cameraman, * the had a picture to sell. She sat in the projection room while the nabobs looked at it, and sold it to Pathe for $500. Then she added up her expenses and found she was only $50 in the red. She had launched herself in the film business for $501 ‘LET FATHER POINT It OUT XTOW that fathers are no longer ^ expected to be stem Judges but friends with their children, we find them eager to leam ways of making ’ this companionship count for some- t thing in the child’s develop ment. I’m going to depart from the usual mascu line type of fa ther-child en joyment In my \ suggestions, be- 1 cause most fathers will think of s ; these for themselves, such as trips , to the circus; introducing the boy or ; girl to the deep, reflective Joys of i fishing; the fun of cooking a meal • over an outdoor fire; the excitement \ of experimenting with tools at a work bench. < < Instead Fm going to ask fa- \ thers to doff their self-consci ousness and lead their children { Into observing beauty. Anything ) has heightened importance when father points it out. ^ For instance, one man I know says he is particularly grateful to his father for making him aware of the sky. So many of us when we think of a scene include the trees, road, houses in our mental picture but miss the \\ \ ( \ grand sense of height and mag nitude which comes with being always conscions of the sky. The outdoor movies are an excellent source for impressing a child with sky pictures, especially the action dramas known as West erns. Another friend credits her father with having helped her acquire a pleasing voice. “Mother used to talk about the importance of a nice voice,” she says, “but it was Dad who really got me interested. He used to point out details of speech which caught my Imagination, such as the lovely way my mother said the word ‘water,’ and the way another friend's voice ‘ran up the stairs and down ' again’ when she talked." < « . 1 Another thing, many of us are grown before we really see shadows, ' how much of a picture Is made up j of shadows—there are blue ones, green ones, purple and rose shadows, if your eyes are really open to see, A child will discover something \ bright red for himself, but fathers , on Sunday walks can point out the ! beauty of light and shade. *| Yes, fathers are no longer pomp- 'l ous or afraid of not seeming big, strong men every minute. They are f k :) often the ones who are best able to I live with the child on his own ima- 1 ginative terms. ..

Don’t forget that not all of your monthly remittance is retained hy the telephone company. A portion of your total bill, as you know, goes to the Federal government in the form of excise taxes. The tax on local service rentals and on all toll messages under 25 cents is 15 percent. On toll messag/s of 25 cents and over, the tax is 25 percent. For example: If your local bill for monthly service is $3.45, forty-five cents of that amount is tax. If vou have a toll hill for the month of $5.00, one dollar of that is tax. We merely collect the tax and pass it on to the government. Taxes represent a substantial portion of all telephone bills. It is hoped that the excise tax on telephone service will soon be reduced or abolished.
