Without Christ as Saviour and His principles as guide, and the Holy Spirit as power, no young man or young wo man is safe. Without Christ in the life, a young man has a bad start. No mat ter what other characteristics he may have, if he continues without Christ, he is sure to have a bad finish.”
end in utter failure. In the education and training of boys and girls, there is one vital element in which our educa tional system is woefully weak. “I believe in the public schools and I believe in their value as Americanizing agencies, but the one weak spot which must be supplemented by the home and by the church is its failure to teach a vital spiritual religion as the founda tion upon which a strong Christian character may be built. A young man is not safe for the future simply be

BISHOP Central America lost a devoted friend when Jennie Armitage Bishop, the devoted wife of Mr. A. E. Bishop— for thirty years a missionary under the Central American Mission in Gua- temala-jpf-fell asleep in Jesus at Long Beach, Calif., September 15, 1925. The long years which Mrs. Bishop spent on the field with her husband were years of devoted service for the needy ones there, who lived in ignor ance of the finished work of Christ as both Saviour and Lord, but thousands of whom are today rejoicing in Him through their sacrificial service. Mrs. Bishop knew the joy of a life of sacrifice for Him, and her heart’s desire was that she might return to Guatemala, and labor there until the call should come, but the Lord had something better for her and she has gone to be with Him. May God bless the husband, daugh ter and little grandson who tarry for a season waiting the time when the Lord Himself shall descend with a shout, and we shall be caught up to meet Him in the air.-—T.C.H.

The life that lacks one essential element to real success may

I had to be satisfied with only hearing music. I was so disappointed. I felt very bit ter as I put away the magazine contain ing the advertisement. For a week I re sisted the temptation to look at it again, but finally I couldn’t keep from “peeking” at it. It fascinated me so much that fin ally, half-frightened, half enthusiastic I wrote to the U. S. School of Music—with out letting my husband know. Imagine my joy when the course ar rived and I found that it was as easy as A. B. C . Why, a mere child could master it! My progress was wonderfully rapid and before I realized it, I was rendering selections which pupils who study with private teachers for years can’t play. For through this short-cut method, all the dif ficult, tiresome parts of music have been eliminated and the playing of melodies has been reduced to a simplicity which anyone can follow with ease. Finally I decided to play for Jack, and show him what ' a “crazy course” had taught me.
