i 4 Pros* iv.iorU the ?asl week Indicate that Ohio is a state that stand* at the front rank for thrift, «Few if .any state In the nation van boast *,-f having ‘Christwas Savings" positor*. The total amount to he paM mu. by financial institu­ tions will anuiunt'to $23,022,0$3., which i should make Santa Claus busint.’s f?ood in the Buckeye state this year. Many of these thrift depositors will retain a part o f the Christmas fund for their regular savings account, a very com­ mendable thing to, do. Should sevehtyriive^er cent of the total he spent on Christmas, merchants can look forward to the cut­ ting o f the Yultide “melon” , with a good degree of satisfaction. PROPER USE OP TIME AND MONEY No man really understands the value of a dollar until he has worked hard, to obtain one. We could -point out scores of city hoys who have become miserable spendthrifts from the lack of just such knowledge. Their fathers were more or less wealthy, hut the sons were not put into the office or mill or shop, and made fairly to earn their money by tiresome labor, either physical or mental; they.borp no responsibility, and never learned how money was fairly and honorably earned, and, o f course, never knew its .proper use. .All young people should be taught the fu ll value of money—-how to save and how to spend it. If born to a heritage of wealth, they should be taught that its possession brings greater responsibilities; and its proper management, when they grow up, will bring even a heavier tax on their mental and moral powers:and faculties than would the earning of a livelihood. They should be taught, that work, is honorable, and that idleness is a dis­ grace. . IT HAS NEVER PAIP— IT NEVER WILL KsmsT,vKtrai>'1** ^ .»* ►* - Every time anyone puts anything over on you look at it this Wayt. H e is only hurting himself, not you. Rather, than fee l sorry for him—he probably will lose -in th e long run.' He is not playing square with himself, and no. one ever got square with th e world Who managed that way. We have seen many changes in moral laws, and things that were not done a generation ago are how countenanced in polite society, but the old, hard law of ret buiion never chahges. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap” is as. true today as it was in the ages long since dead, There is everywhere the working of the ever­ lasting law of requital: man always gets as he gives, God is a sure paymaster. He may not pay at the. end o f every week, or month, dr year, but remember He pays in the end. . Look back over the road that you have travelled. Where are th e men Lhat were cheats and frauds, where are the men that gambled and robbed? What became of the'homes that were built on the wages o f sin ? Can you name one man that has prospered continuously oh a dishonest policy? Can you? DOING THE REST YOU CAN >**< Do the best you-can at all times* That should be the motto of every young- man who possesses ambition and the. d jsire t.o nialce a .name for himself in the world of business. ' If he does1 that at all times, h e has put his foot oii the first rung o f the ladder that lead s to^promotion,' and not before that time can he fairly say that he has begun to climb upward. Do­ ing work in a half-hearted mariner puts a decided handicap on th e young man’s future, for the moment -that he regards his Work as a grind, he is beginning to walk on thin ice that will precipitate him into'dismissal from the service of the firm for whom he. is working; In truth, he places an obstacle in his path tha t cannot, be surmounted. The ’difference between doing the best you can, and-per­ forming-your daily duties in, a half-hearted manner is easily seen, for the latter way of working cannot be disguised, as it has a false note that can be distinguished' by the employer. The young man must make up his mind to give his entire atten­ tion to his work and not le t him waver at any .moment of the day, if he hopes to better his condition ip th e form o f promo­ tion, . He /must make it a point to do. the best that he can whether* the “old man,” asf many .ypung men term their em­ ployers, is there or not, fo r the “old man” has been through the mill, as it were, and he can easily t e l l . whether all his employees are doing their best work or not. He cannot be fooled very long. HISTORIC EVENTS AND SCENIC BACKGROUNDS Ohio has a number of attractive State parks, places where history has been written in deeds, areas in which are romantic gorges, waterfalls, caves, and virgin patches of woodland. It has other places that will doubtless become State parks, when the park program is'more fu lly developed. Best known to Cin­ cinnatians are Fort Ancient and th e Serpent Mound, both under "care of the State Archeological and Historical Society. Already in possession of the commonwealth are Bryari Park in Greene County; Nelson’s Ledges in Portage County; Rock House,-Old Man’s Cave, Conkle’s Hollow and Little Rocky Branch, all in Hocking County, arid Clear Fork of the Mohican in Ashland County. Other sites, we learn from a statement of J. J. Crumley of the Ohio Experiment Station, have been examined in ha lf a dozen counties, with a view of ultimate acquisition. Among these are Fort Hill in Adams County; the Logan Elm between ChilHcothd and.Circleville, where Lord Dunmqre signed a treaty o f peace with the Indians, and the gorge of the Little Miami, believed to fye the scene of Simon Kenton’s leap. More of beauty and interest than Ohio people generally realize is to be found within the borders o f their States and far more**significant events than the tex t bo*oks give any hint of were enacted here; we doubt, for example, if one person in twenty knows that Ohio has a,river called the Mohican. The acquisition and dedication of these public parks will provide an agreeable lesson in history and geography as well as means to permanent enjoyment. — Cincinnati Times Star. sBriaaaESa^sB HAVE YOU BEEN THINKING— I f not you will when Jack Frost comes.

Isaiah had a long ministry, begln-^ nlng la the days of UzzUih e3t’ tending through the reign of Jothnn, Ahaz ana HezeJMah. J£or a history of the nation ljn this time see 11 Kings, chapters 15 to 20. Isaiah’s visions present the redemptive purpose of God through the consummation of Mes­ siah’s kingdom. Chapter 1 is the title to tlie Whole book.- It contains the great arraignment of the people for their sins. 1. The Moral State ,of the People (W. 2-4). , » 1. Filial ingratitude (v. 2). . The universe is summoned to heart the Lord’s complaint against Judah and Israel for their base ingratitude. 2. - ,Brutal stupidity <v. 3). The os and the ass are proverbially stupid, but Israel’s stupidity exceeded theirs, Israel would not recoghizu His right as sovereign, nor -author of mercies. 8 .. Habitual evil doers <v. 4). - They were not sinners in act merely, but In nature and ,heart were laden with iniquity. I y heredity they passed their vices from generation to genera­ tion. ‘ . li. Their Consequent Miseries '(w . 5-0). ' 1 - 1, Their perplexity (v. 5). Chastisement only hardened them. Their afflictions were followed by ilqepor and more heinous sins, 2. Their awful confusion (v.16),' The calumity which befell them ex­ tended to all classes. No one was able to minister to their .comfort. 8. Desolations in the country (vv, T, 8). . Revolts from within and Invasions from without left their country desolate.' Physical ruin always fol­ lows moral and spiritual ^eeadeuce. * 4. A saved remnant assured (v. 9), God’s purposes cannot fall. A rein- nant was saved In Israel—a remnant shall be saved in the church. , III. Formal Worship Rebuked (vv, 1045). Their awful calamities were not due to the ,'neglpct of religious rites and ceremonies. They punctiliously ob­ served the forms of religion while lh ’ dulging1In iniquitous practices. ^ . L God does ,uot peed sacrifices' , (v. ll) . , ‘ Worship and service are pot for God’s benefit, but for that of the wor­ shipers ,themselves. 2; God’s attitude toward formal 'worship (vv. 1244). The-very rites and ceremonies which God ordained for tire purpose of help tuj? men to approach Him become dis­ gusting and irksome to Him. 8, God’s refusal (v, 15), Every act of worship white the heart and life are steeped with In­ iquity only incites the anger of the Holy One. ' , . IV. -An Amended Life God’s Re­ quirement (vv, 10-20), Though the nation lmd so grievous­ ly sinned, their case was not hopeless. In order to enjoy that mercy there must b e : ’ 1. A cleansing. . t “Wash you, make you clean,” The washing by .water symbolized the cK*;!rasing by the blood of the Son of God. 2, -Tut away the evil of your do­ ings.” There could be no cleansing while continuing In sin. 3. “Cease to do evil,” 4, "Hearn to do well” (v. 17), • One can only cease to do evil by learning to do well, 6. “Seek judgment,” One must not only be upright him ■f&t but should protest against the wrongdoing of others. Burdens should be removed from the op­ pressed. Justice should be done to the fatherless and the widows should be'befriended. ’ 6. Encouragement to come to God (v. 18). Though their guilt was great and the judgment which befell them was awful, God’s pardoning and cleansing grace were Sud/dent 7. Conditional promise (v. 19), This means that they could only en Joy good on God's'terms. 8. Solemn warning (v. 20), Rebellion against God brings ruin 9 Religion .

Primarily' this superstition is the survival of what was, to OUr savage ancestors, no superstition at all, but only a usage born of the exigencies of savage life. Two members of the same tribe, making their way through the dark forests of Northern lands Into which the civilization of the Mediterranean shores had not yet penetrated, knew that, lurking about them id the wilderness were savage beasts anc. no less savage enemies— and they kept close together for safety's sake* To allow evCn the bole of a free to Interfere between them might mean that one would be fatally attacked before his companion could assist In his defense.
