1 Louisa’s Letter I
ANSWERS TO PROBLEMS OF
CORRESPONDENTS
Dear Louisa:
I have a good thoughtful hus-
band in most ways but there is
one thing wTe disagree on and that
is life insurance. I hold that
every man with little children
should have some insurance com-
panies because his brother lost
^ money in one of them long ago
■ and that what he leaves us will
be in his name in the bank. He
doesn’t make a large salary and
we are able to bank only a few
dollars each month. If anything
should happen to him, I do not
know what I would do as we
have three small children and I
have no trade. Which do you
think is right about this matter?
WORRIED WIFE
I think your husband would be
wise to take the few dollars he
is able to bank each month and
apply it on an endowment policy
which matures in twenty years.
In that way he guards against
leaving you in poverty in case he
dies, and if he lives he has saved
so much money at the end of the
twenty years. As to not trust-
ing the insurance companies, his
brother must have joined some
small, local company or some oth-
er wildcat organization for there
are a number of absolutely reli-
able nationally known companies

which he will find to be perfect-
ly safe.
I think that a man is Very sel-
fish and thoughtless if he is able
to carry insurance and does not,
A good many criminals are re-
cruited from the ranks of those
children whose mothers are left
penniless and have to depend on
charity or relatives for clothes
and food. Even though the mo-
ther is able to work, her doing
so, out of the home, leaves her
children motherless as well as
fatherless and compells them to
grow up with little care or train-
ing. I think every man owes that
much protection to little children
he has brought into the world.
LOUISA
Dear Louisa :
My mother objects to my using
lipstick and rouge in school. Do
you not think she is too old-fash-
ioned?
INEZ
Did you know, Inez, that the
girls who attend the swankiest
colleges, use very little make up
unless they are going to some
function ?
An article written some months
ago by a woman who had made a
trip to the leading institution of
the United States, said that she
found the smartest and most sty-
lish girls in the schools using ab-
solutely no roughe when they at-
tended classes. I think you school
girls might tape a tip from them
if you wish to be smart and save
your make-up for parties, etc.
It really is poor taste to attend
school made up like a second rate
actress.

JESUS PREPARES
International Sunday School Les-
son for January 19, 1936
GOLDEN TEXT: “Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and
him only shalt thou serve.” 4:8
Luke.
We have no details of the life
of Jesus from the age of twelve
to about the age of thirty, when
he begins his public ministry.
About this time Jesus journeyed
from Nazareth to the fords of
the Jordan, where his cousin,
John the Baptist, was preaching,
and baptizing.
It is interesting to speculate as
to how completely Jesus then re-
alized his divine mission. His mo-
ther may have related the unus-
•ual events attending his birth
and he may have fully known his
divinity. At any rate, after the
testimony of John concerning the
destiny and the witness of the
spirit Jesus certainly fully com-
prehended his nature and task.
Even then, in his human rela-
tionship, he faced mighty prob-
lems and it was necessary for
him to decide these alone. His
story of the temptation is the
story he alone could relate, tell-
ing the conflict which attended
the decision of these vexing ques-
tions. Knowing his divinity, and
comprehending his task, how was
he to convince the people and
attain permanent success?
The first temptation suggested
that he use the miraculous power
entrusted to him for the purpose
of his ministry to obtain a purely
personal and selfish end. Hun-
gry, his physical need could be
answered -without regard to hu-
man limitations if he disregard-
ed the trust which accompanied
these powers.
Jesus remembered and was for-
tified by a passage from Deuter-
onomy (8:3) that man should not
live by bread alone. There are
higher laws than human appetite
and desire. Churches and men
today may be charitable and gen-
erous but life is more important
spiritually and materially. The
temptation to minister by fulfill-
ing material wants, disregarding
the more eternal spiritual needs
comes constantly and repeatedly.
The second temptation was to
select a method personally more
pleasing and glorifying. The sug-
gestion came for Jesus to estab-
lish his kingdom in an earthly

way by sounding in a call to lead
which would mean power and
popularity and perhaps, triumph,
and this was justified by the
contention that with such author-
ity acquired his mission could be
forcibly accomplished.
The allurement was to use evil
or material methods to achieve a
good or spiritual result—church-
es and reformers very often face
the problem of similar compro-
mises with right to retain the sup-
port of political, wealthy or in-
terested groups which offer to
help the general progress if cer-
tain objections are met.
The kingdoms of intelligence,
power and beauty and all others
may be sought either by means,
material or spiritual, and they can
be used likewise, but inevitab-
ly their use will be determined
and influenced by the methods of
acquisition. Wealth, for exam-
ple, may be obtained through in-
dustry and service or by cruel ex-
action and fraudulent methods,
and in most cases its final 'use
will be in keeping with the meth-
ods employed to obtain it.
The third temptation was to
use God wrongly to accomplish
his task. Jesus contemplated the
establishment of his divinity by
some divine sensationalism like
jumping off the high cliff with-
out being hurt, for, it was then
thought surely this would con-
vince those who behold it. God
had promised to protect and
sustain those^who trusted him but
the temptation carried with it
the forgetting that there are rules
and latvs controlling the benefit
of every promise. God’s gifts are
not to be used for trifling things
and trust disappears when it is
made the basis for a test.
Again, a verse from Deuterono-
my (6:16) reminds that we real-
ly should not make trial of God.
The Kingdom of Heaven cannot
be established by substituting
wonder for faith nor by relying
upon formal rites or sensational
tactics in the conduct of reglig-
ious ceremonies for the sure, in-
ner flame of genuine spiritual
conviction. To ally noble ideals
with lower forces always means
that the lower bribes the higher
for the former’s selfish benefit.
In God’s own way every purpose
and every promise is fulfilled to
the faithful.
The consideration of tempta-
tion offers some interesting and
educational thoughts. Temptation

"OEFORE you take any prepara-
lion you don’t know all about,
for the relief of headaches; or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it — in comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called “pain” remedies were ad-
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
in and out without ill effect, nave
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods yet discovered for the relief
oi headaches and all common pains
. . . and safe for the average person
to take regularly.

WORKING WITH FARMERS
Nothing is easier to start than
a rumor, no matter how baseless.
And nothing is more difficult to
stop. An excellent example of
that lies in the “whispering cam-
paign” that chain grocery sys-
tems make a practice of “turn-
ing the heat” on the farmer—
that is, that they try to drive
down his prices, and by unfair
methods deprive him of the prof-
its that are rightfully his.
The fact of the matter is that
representative chains do precise-
ly; the opposite. If racketeering
chains still exist, they are in the
minority, and will haATe to change
their policy or go out of busi-
ness. Here is what one large
chain, operating principally on
the Pacific Coast, recently did to
help agriculture:
The chain found that the ap-
ple crop in its locality was ex-
ceptionally large, and that apple
growers were finding it difficult
to locate profitable outlets. So
tlie chain decided to put on an
agressive apple-selling campaign
to move the surplus that could not
be disposed of through ordinary
sales methods. It bought apples
in tremendous quantities at the
going prijta— and advertised
them extensively. It offered all
grades at very low prices, made
possible by large turnover and a
high degree of merchandising ef-
ficiency in not chiseling on the
farmer. It displayed apples
prominently and attractively in
all its stores. Results of the
campaign which has not yet been
completed, have been extremely
good—thousands of boxes of ap-
ples have been sold in excess of
normal sales.
This is simply one example of
the way modern merchandising
cooperates with the farmer. Oth-
ers could be cited. The modern
principle of scientific retail dis-
tribution to the public is to cut
selling costs by eliminating un-
necessary middleman steps—not
by penalizing producers or manu-
facturers. And the industry will
progress or decline On this basis.
