Last year a benevolent soclety with headquarters in New York, organ- ized a scheme for work known as the Student Summer Service. It was the challenge of a great opportunity. The appeal was made to the youns people | of both sexes in our colleges. The siogan was, this: “Do you want to use your life where it will count for the summer of 18217” The response was so. gen- erous that it will be repeated this year, Fourtsen colieges responded and the stndenfs went into the outlying districts with the message ‘ot good will, gave Bible instruction. spoke in abandoned pulpits, and tried to uplift the people generally. While. speaking of young people's privileges along meral and social lines, I would urge the scceptance of every chance for students and other workers to spensi a few weeks this summer out Goors. You need it to keep the physical part up to par. The high sehool and col- lege girl wonld do well to join some Camp Fire club: or, find needed recre- ation amid the wilds of nature, The Boy and Girl Scout movement that in- volves long hikes, with camning, boat- ing, swimming, fAshing, cooking and sleeping in the open alr, i one of the finest opportunities that ever eame to our young people for becoming physieally robust.

By the figures given out it was shown that the operating ratio, or the expense of operation to the reve- nue., was 77.74 last month while a vear ago it was 95.37, or a decided reduction which means the practice of economy and effictency. Whatever improvement ean be showa by this railroad system serving as it does this state and a large and important part of New England is of eoneern to this en- tire territory. We are dependent to a large degree upon this transportation service and the quicker it comes bask to what it used to be the better it will be for all concerned. Once more headed in the right direction it is to bs homed that recovery will be steady and rapid. There are st pressut objects sppealing to the generosity of the public, and thé degree of merit will largely depend om one's viewpoint. Of course we are not all aeTeed as to the most worthy of these objects. To my mind no one calls more Toudly to us than the Boy Scouts, and doritiass many will pass this by. When we think how large an area of the boy's personality the Scout movement covers. we must feel that no organization out- side of the church and gublic school is doing anything comparable to it fer the Iads. Take for example the Scout oath which a boy must take, recosnizing, firse of all that God is the ruling power in the universe; he aleo swears allegiance to his country, training him to the high- est type of citizenship. The Scout oath and the Scomt practice are wholesome things in the education of the boy. The boy may belong to any denomination and be epually eligible. Let us respond to this appeal I ram across the following semtemoo fhat s full of meanine: “Dream dol- lars are not legal tender.

Con- ditions there have been so frightful that it had been imagined that a long time would be required to reach those who are in such a plight, but when it i» declared the famine is under control it mu: not be expected that it is over, that ev- er¥body has plenty to eat and everything ¢ back at normal again. That fsn't the idea that the “under con- 1" information is intended to convey. the fact. = region of that great country plenty hungry people, children. women and It will be months yet before they are able to tike care of themselves in he way of a food supply or before th be a withdrawal of those who are dispensing the relief. There ig stil plen- to be done in overcoming the distresa. But with the famine under control we wre told that those in the famine region ure being reached by the supplies from his or other countries, that they are get- ting sustenance and that because of this help they are not exposed to the danger on In the months to come even hey may not be able to get all he frod that they might ltke. We have o distributed what has been generously given by the people and government of this eountry that it is doing what was in- tended and they are to be tided over un- 1i] the next harvest. All this has been necessary because n{‘ the demoralized conditions within that! country which made it impossile for those districts which had food to look fter those who had none. Millions have @ied. Others will die but the outside ail given has stonped the nrogress of the grim ficure of starvation.

Remember that “dream doliars ars not legal tender.” Just & hint to these young fellows whe chance to e treasurers of boys' eclubs, and other societies. The treasurer must have a keen eye on the finances all the time; in other words, he must be the watch dog of the expenses. If the club a5 a whole knows that there is a lttle money in the treasury they will want to get five times as much as they have money to pay for. Now the treasurer must impress upon the other members that with only one dollar in the treasury, one cannot exchana it for five dollars of commodities without running into debt. He ought also to have the couraze to tell them that they have no richt %o get the things wanted without a clear idea of where the momey is coming from. One young treasurer said this to the bunch: “Nog vyou have asked fqr things that will cost twice as much as we can pay for; if we are to get them let us roll our sleeves up and pitch in and get the money.” And they did. Sinée my last international () talk in The Bulletin of April 156th, we have past some anniversarv days of interna- tional importance. On April 20, 1662, Connecticut was given its charter by the king of England, and all are familar with jts conceslment im the historic Charter Oak of Hartford in 1687. On April 19, 1775. the British foroes were repulsed at Lexington and Concord. These were not great battles, but coming as they did at the beminning of the Rev- olution they greatly heartened the col- omists. April 15. 1861, was the date when Presient Lineoln called for 75,- 000 volunteers as the firing upon Fort Suwmpter, three days previously pro- claimed a state of war between the North and South. On April 18, Harpers Ferry was selzed by the Confederats troops, and the next day (April 19), Massachusetts troops were attacked in Baltimore and the day following the Nor folk navy yard was taken by the Con- federates, the rebelllon was then in full swing. They were, indeed, dark Gays. It is very beastiful to make memery speak tbroush flowers. This is being done In a_very fine and expressive way In these days by churches, schools and various organizations.

This seems to be a case of kiling the goose that lays the golden ege. If we are to impose a tax upon those who come here for the purpose of Iéoking over and purchfising American goods we can exmect to drive business away. It is a provision of the law that compensation for labor or personal services in the United States is subject to an fncome tax in the case of non-resident aliens but the reasonable interpretation would he that this covered fneome from zoods mold hers or from services rendered here rather than for the spending of mensay in this country.

PLUTARCH Although the period of years dur- ing which Plutarch the great Greek writer of blographies and miscella- neons works, lived is somewhat shrouded in mystery, yet he tells us that he lived to a rlpe old age and that he did not begin the study of Latin until he was eighty years of age. He was born about the year 50 A D. but he did not begin the writ- ing of the work that has made his name famous, ‘Parallel Lives” until he was past fifty, and then he was a number of years in its preparation. and he did not publish it until very late in life. The reason that Plutarch began the study of Latin so late in life was be- cause of his great activity as a lec- turer in Greek, on philosophy. and he had no time to devote to Latin and Roman history until late in his life. For this reason it seems unusual that he should have given to the world the best biographies of the great Italians of the Christian era and thereafter. Anyone famiHar with Plitarch’s *“Lives” will recognize the great amount of learning and research re- iquired In their production. And for that reason, as well as for their con- siderable length, it must have taken Piutarch many years in their compi- lation. It is true thaf many of the lives of the Romans that he wrote do not show such an extent of research or |such a wealth of autheritie sas do ihis biographies of his own country- men. But Plutarch fpust have possess- jed or had access to a great store of ! books, and his diligence as an histori- an canno tbe questioned, if his accura- cy is in some points impeached. The reason for Plutarch’s long life and his activities at an advanced age may be found in his own ideas as to the preservation of the body, as shown in his “Precepts About Health,” In this work he says: “Milk should be taken for food rath- . . 100% of its Selling Cost g wramcomemin s Gy e 2 O1d Home active to visiters and ‘l " beneficial to residents.

The next step is to transmute the best thoughts into definite action foward the up- building of industry elther on the land or in the city, further devefopment of our water powers and the fullest use of our resources. Still another phase is sugezested in what a Maine farmer sald when we met his auto party in Connecticut one eve- ning last summer: “We ha've driven clear down from the Aroostook just to see the country—visited the histeric but mostly spent a day or two at a time in little villagea just to see the country amd meet the people.

Tt is none too snon for shaming un a enm ‘bination of all interests in a great effort to boost the summer resort industry and to nromote 2 more rabid and larger deve! opment of our six states. Chambers of commerce. railrosds, tourist ageneies shore resorts. hotels, borrdine houses and homes in eountry or villawe. as well as other means of attracting visitors to New Fneland, may well unite in this eo-opera- tive movement. 1 ETTERS TO THE EDITOR Against Daylight Saving.

Showing signal counsel of the larger systems, SUNDAY MORNING TALK Our Father. Fatherhood itself means love, tender, strong, and faithful; but when we put divinity back of all the love and good- mess—Father in heaven—we make the vision enduring and eternal. Human- fatherhood, beauttful as it is and high in affection, s frail and uncertain, tomor- row, it may be gone. God is our Father in heaven. Yet though he is in heaven He never forgets us. Our names are al- ways bafore Him, ‘This {s one of the great present-tenses of the Bible, God is. He is not a Being In the remote, and now only a memory. Nor 1s he a God who is to manifest Him-! He is self in the future as our Judge. our Father. There is never a moment when He is not near us, and to hear our faintest ory for help, This truth of the living God who is our Father is wondrously rich in its meaning. In these days when some men like to talk of the God of the universe as a great mysterious Force, at the cen- tre of things, which in some way keeps all things in being. But they deny to this great Power the elements of pe sonality. They scoff the Christian teac inz that this God loves us as chit dren. that He gives personal thoucht to any individual of the race. that He knows our needs or concerns Himself with our life. All these nineteen centurles His chl'dren have been calling Him in the same precious way. The name Father sweeps away all vague thouzhts of God as mere force or-pewer. Thus it is the part of falth to realize this truth of the {living God. The Scriptures seem to la- bor to make this truth plain to us. Un- derneath us are the everlasting arms— again the present tense. the words are snoken to every one who reads them.

The Azores figured as a halfwar station in the first trans-Atlantic flight. Now the Canaries, where Co- lumbus halted on his voyage of dis- covery, end the first leg of the Lis- bon-to-Rio de Janeiro trip of Pertu- guese airmen.” ° With this introduction the Nationa: Geographle Society issues from its Washington, D.

This crater, Gran Caldera, is four miles in diameter and In much of its area is between 12 and 13 {Tmes as deep as the Wash- ington Monument. The natives will tell ou that a mighty upheaval in Palma pitched the mountain mass over to Teneriffe and in proof point te the mighty cavity left on Palma. “Plutarcn’s gec § aphical commep jabout the Canar.es need not be re- vised.

The air is always pleasant and salubri- ous, through the happy temperature of the seasens, and their insensible rtansition into each other. “The most remarkable and least studied phenomenon of the Canaries iis the whistling language of the na tives of Gomera. The townsfolk do not know the whistling vocabulary, 1and their reports of the range of ex- | pression the mountain folk attain by using four or five notes of varying intensity and length may readily be exaggerated.
