11 REV. 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.

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. ..

AND SPEAKING OF
TELEPHONE BILLS ......
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.
