The Greatest of These Looking ahottt the world as it is today, we see a vast need for hope in the future for faith in the ability of men to overcome the bitter barriers of race and creed and code and nationality, to learn, at last, to live together as men, as human beings, in honor and with trust. Xow. more than ever before, ours is the duty of keeping alive, in a civilization where it is slowly losing its meaning. Chris tian living and the brotherhood of those who love and respect one another. Last month, one week was devoted to a cause which should have a place in our lives every week in the year the cause of Brotherhood, universal in its meaning and universally needed. Peace in the future must rest, if it be true peace and not armed truce, upon the faith which men have in the word of other men. Such faith can be possible, however, only when mu tual trust, understanding, and super natural love prevail. But bow. we ask, can we love those who arc hostile to every code we cherish those who have no respect for the faith, the pro perty, and the lives of others? The word code is the keynote to the entire problem. Supcrnaturally, we love all men, but we hate the code by which the lives of our enemies are governed. It is the doctrine we must banish the phil osophy of injustice, cruelty, oppression. We can never condone the mental outlook which ignores the human rights of men. We must hate and fight to the death the inhuman creeds which tear at the fibers of civiliza tion. We must, like Sergeant York, see that, in order to save life, to preserve civiliza tion, we must stamp out the evil sweeping over the world, we must win the war, and then continue to work and pray for the ultimate triumph of the brotherhood of man under the wise and guiding Father hood of God. Remember May Mean Time on My I lands. was the title of a song which was popular about 10 years ago. The song may be dated, but the phrase Still holds true: we have much T. on our II.. and what do we do with it? Nothing at all. too frequently. Among the many displays on how to conserve commodities which have been exhibited during this past Consumer Week is a project on how to PLAN and SAVE time (it cannot, of course be I'l'RCIIASF.I) or RECLAIMED, the other two points of the fourfold plan). presented by the education department. It is pointed out that, with definite goals set, a time budget leads to ac complishment, which leads to success, which leads to satisfaction sought on higher levels, and there we are, right back to definite goals again, happy and gay and enthusiastic about ev erything. On the other hand, there is a horrible defeated sort of existence which be comes the lot of the time-killers, for wasted time leads to failure, which brings on dis couragement and failure intensified, and when one I eels like a failure, he is more ;:pt to waste time, which completes the cycle. It is almost shocking to see these two cycles, plannjed living, and disorganized living, right down in black and white, be cause it makes one realize that the habit of wasting time is more conducive to physical and mental disintegration than to fulfilling the seven basic needs, religious, mental, family, organic, economic, civic, and leisure, w bile with planned living, one lias the thrill A Stitch In Victory CONSGRVG DAYS i DOLLARS of daily accomplishment, the encourage ment of success. Now we know the advantage of using time wisely and the disadvantage of wast ing it, but the point is, just WHAT are we going to do about it? Wc can't plan every day ahead down to the last minute (we can just see our selves saying Aha, it is now exactly 21 i minutes after 7 time for my morning orange juice ), but there is so much spare They're Reading a startling book about a storm A unique novel, a must on any reading list, is George R. Stewart's STORM, a dramatic tale of the elements, in which tin- author personifies a storm as human and calls it Maria. And Maria, born somewhere out in the Pacific, is the heroine of Stewart's book, a drama of science and a drama of human experience, adventure, and calamity. To a drought-infested California, Maria brought rain and snow and sleet rain and snow and sleet that fed the hungry land and saved the crops and turned the alfalfa bright green; that blocked the roads and tore down the wires and swept cars into ditches and over precipices; that buried people alive, and wrecked trains and killed passengers; that separated lovers and drove whole families from their homes. A well written book that carries the leader's interest until Maria ends her brief but stormy life, it goes from the general story of Maria to the adventures of indi viduals and shows bow the storm affects each person as it sweeps along its way. The description shows a true sense of the beautiful and a real talent for writing poetic prose. And the book is all the more.jnter- esting because it is a skillful combination of scientific data and methods interwoven in an interest-holding and unusual story. a career book for M.D.Vto-be For any girl interested in medicine, SUSIE, STUART M.D. by Caroline A. Chandler is an encouraging book on the education, training, and opportunities for women in the field of medicine. Like the other Dodd, Meade Ca reer Books, SUSIE STUART, M.D. is written in an entertaining narrative form and the many points important to a career in medicine are woven into a real story that is both infor mative and inspirational. The author, Dr. Caroline Chandler, a young bacteriologist, makes quite clear that there are two things a young woman who wants to be a doctor must face a lengthy rind expensive period of training, and hard, bard work but that the rewards in satis- i action alone are enough to compensate for the struggle involved, for if a doctor saves but one life she has done a great good for mankind, and if, by research, she discovers a cure that will save many lives, mankind is eternally indebted to her.
