Not a word of that mature, thoughtful woman with a mind as well as a face who labors conscientiously day and night, like the engineer who goes tap ping, tapping, tapping with his hammer all over the great black engine, noting with scrupulous nicety its every part and condition before he trusts a hun dred lives to its speed. “ American parents! For how long will you continue to buy and read and have in your house for your boys and girls to read the vapid moonings of the young lovers— in what is designated their calf love— no more like real love than moonlight is like sunlight? At the age of adolescence, of all ages the most unbalanced and dangerous, you give them ever that which renders them still more so! “ In every way we are rushing the im mature girl into the limelight to her own harm, asking too much of her in public and not enough of her in private life. “ A former neighbor proudly remark ed to me once that her daughter washed no dirty old dishes nor was tied down in any other way. She, the mother, did all the dishes and the family housework herself. She wanted her daughter to enjoy herself while she was young! Yes, the mother meant well, but what was the result? She unfitted a naturally able and willing girl for any serious re sponsibility in life, through which alone life’s greatest and most lasting happi ness can ever come.” | I : The King’s Business | | Write for Terms 1 CIRCULATION REPRESENTATIVE j King’s Business, Bible Institute | . 536 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, Cal. | Representatives Wanted f o r

They not only have eyes, they are “ full of eyes.” Their life consists in eyeing God, in knowing, loving and serving "God. They have the open vision of the living God. The sight of God is life indeed. Of the six wings, Isaiah 6:2, four are for adora tion and two for service, Matt. 18:10; Ezek. 1:11. Throughout the Old Tes tament the cherubim are always associ ated with the forth-putting of Divine power. They are His administrators, “ ministers of His that do His pleasure.” Psa. 103:20, 21. To the joy of cloud less vision is super-added the bliss of ceaseless service, vs. 8. jook.” “ Oh, these popular ‘best seller’ books and cheap popular magazines! Every where is the insipid girl’s face on the cover, with the whole reading public apparently bowing down before the pretty, idle, inane, slouching, and dilet tante girl, conspicuous for no achieve ment (not even for simple innocence) and renowned only for a physical beauty skin deep, and maybe not as deep as that.
