The Joys of heaven will surely pay For all the trials of the way. 11. Praise Him for a Dear One “H a y in g loved H is ow n . . . H e loved th em to th e u tte rm o s t.” Jo h n 12:1. Praise God who lives and loves alway, The same today as yesterday; Who folds you in His tender arms. And holds you safe from all alarms. 12. Praise Him for Love "T he S u rp a s sin g love o f C h rist.” E ph. 3:19. Praise God for Love, both sweet and true, Each morning fresh, each evening new. The “Love of Christ” sent down from heaven, The "greatest” blessing ever given. m In “the time of the end . . . knowl edge shall be increased” (Dan, 12 :U). M SMATTERING President Glenn Frank, erstwhile editor of the Century Magazine and now president of the University of Wisconsin, is of the opinion that modern mass education is either "sui cidal smattering” or “suicidal speciali zation.” It Beems the student cannot escape suicide. So President Frank is testing out on 250 select students his theory of making the first two years "cultural background" and the last two "inten sive specialization.” He even considers giving a degree for the first two years to students without “sustained Intellectual inter est.” He thinks a health exodus will not only relieve the university, but also satisfy the smatterers. Life seems to be one continuous fight between smattering and spe cialization. The old-time idea was for the university to give general cul ture. A background of all knowledge was regarded as the qssential of suc cess. Choice of profession was an after thought. Many youths did not even consider the future beyond graduation day. They plunged into the world and found themselves unfitted to make even a living. Lately colleges have swung to spe cialization. Practical education has molded the curriculum. And now it is discovered that students become machines. They are ready for a job, but are without wide knowledge. ■They are sharpened tools. And so the smatterers and special ists are both suicides. Possibly of the two the smatterers are the more pa thetic. Trained intellects are strug gling to fit themselves into impossible situations. To give both a broad knowledge and intensive training for individual professions or work in life is the occu pation of alert educators. To fit men’s bents to jobs is one of the fine arts.—Los Angeles Times.
and the tall buildings still too few to make living in these tenements unpleas ant, but the tendency towards conges tion must even now be checked. .Un fortunately many people are still not in houses, and typhoid is an incipient ill in barrack quarters. So one is glad to escape the town, lively, bright and busy as it is, for the neighboring villages. An auto spins swiftly along a good road to Rishon, and one is in a green paradise—the country of vineyards. The colony too has expanded—it is creeping towards the shore and the port. Before the central street, a large, comfortable house off the roadside attracts the eye. It has dignity and proportion but it is not pretentious. The front is laid out for a garden. It belongs to “The Eng lishman.’’ He really comes from Glas gow, but why should a good Jew be named after his once adopted and now abandoned country? It is a sign of the scarcity of Anglo-Jews in our villages. And guard you ever from all ill; And keep you in His perfect will. 6. Praise Him for Fellowship 'T n th e lig h t . . . w e h av e fe llow sh ip .” 1 John 1:9. Praise God for fellowship Divine, Steadfast and true like yours and mine; That neither time nor change can dim, Because ’tis centered all in Him. 7. Praise Him for Supply “My God w ill su p p ly a ll . . . from H is w e a lth in g lo ry .” P h il. 4:19. Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise Him all we who surely know That He supplies our every need, Praise Him who is our God in DEED. 8. Praise Him for Translation Faith “By fa ith E no ch w as tra n s la te d .” Heb. 11 :6. “H e th a t . . . b e lie v e th . . . sh a ll n e v e r die.” Jo h n 11:25. -v Praise God who is so very nigh, Who lives and loves and cannot lie; Who keeps us that we may not die, But live to reign with Christ on high. 9. Praise Hiiw for Jesus “God called u s u n to H is e te rn a l g lo ry by C h rist Je s u s . . . . To H im be g lo ry .” 1 P e te r 6:10, 11. Praise God for Jesus’ matchless love, Who came and died and lives above, To intercede for you and me, That we may ever like Him be. 10. Praise Him for Trials “R eckon it n o th in g b u t joy, m y b re th re n , w h e n e v e r yo u And y o u rse lv e s hedg ed In by v a rio u s tr ia ls .” Jam e s 1: 2. W eym outh. “Count it all Joy,’’ ye troubled one, The griefs of earth will soon be done,
nights. Here in the sunny lowlands one felt the luxurious attractiveness of the East; on high and stony Mt. Zion a sturdier spirit prevails. Tel Aviv has claimed many preroga tives, but it cannot usurp Jerusalem’s title to the Passover Pilgrimage. Many had left the new for the old capital, and the hotels (so numerous) were but half full. Though the fever of building had died down, the town continues to grow in amazing fashion, stretching out its arms along the seashore and through the hinterlands toward the Jerusalem road. An hour’s walk from the origi nal Herzl Street brings one to Tel Nordau, no longer an outlying suburb, and you may proceed further and still traverse the area of the township. But there are many empty sites and too few trees. The tiny flats—three to four stories high and forty to fifty rooms to a building—spell the danger of overcrowding. The air is too pure Show forth His praise. 1 Peter 2:9. I will greatly praise the Lord. Psa. 109:30. 1. Praise Him for Each New Day "E v e ry d ay w ill I b less T hee.” P sa lm 145:2. Praise God for still another day, In which to walk the narrow way; To live and love as Jesus did, Ever with God in Christ be hid. 2. Praise Him for Grace "God is ab le to m ak e a ll g ra c e abound tow a rd s you, so th a t . . . you m ay h av e am p le m ean s fo r a n y em erg en cy of y o u r own, a n d a n y k in d a c t to o th e rs.” 2 Cor. 9:8. Praise God, the God of every grace, Who blesses as we run our race, And sends His gifts down from above. That we may share with those we love. 3 Praise Him for Fidelity “God said , . . . a n d it w as so.” Gen. 1: 9, 15, 24, 30. ___ "J e su s said . D raw o u t . . . . T he Gov e rn o r said , . . . T h e b e st w in s.” Jo h n 2 : 1 - 10 . Praise God the All-Sufficient One, Who speaks and it is ever done; His Word and Work ever agree, So may it ever be with me. 4. Praise Him for a Minister “W e g iv e th a n k s to God a lw a y s fo r you.” 1 T h ess. 1:2, 3. P ra is e God for one, who gives the Word, The sweetest message ever heard; Who points us to the Lamb of Love, Holding our thought on Him above. 5. Praise Him for Friends out In Ministry “God w ill m u ltip ly y o u r seed sow n a n d In crease th e f r u its o f y o u r rig h te o u s ness.” 2 Cor. 9:10. Praise God whose promises are true. Who’ll surely bless and prosper you,
