Co-operate with your own public servants. Don't work against them. Work with them. There is no denying the fact that many otherwise sensible citizens Co ..operate regard our village officials, from policeman to president, in more or less suspicious, even hostile way. This attitude is· shown m,o st commonly and most strongly against the police. In every neighborhood it is not hard to find individuals who are short sighted enough to believe that the patrolman .o r the corner traffic cop has it in for them somehow or other. At the best they fail to see that the police are public servants who want to prevent trouble and not foment it. · If you're tagged for parking your car in the wrong place, pay the fine promptly and be glad that the police and the c.ourts are co-operating with you to prevent trouble.

All church and Sunday School workers as well as adults interested in the study of the Bible wil1 naturally desire to attend the weekly meetings of the School of Religious Education. These meetings are to be held every Tuesday evening for six successive weeks beginning October 26, at the Central ·~chool · building. Such a school as this will be the source of real power to the six churches co-operating in its management. And it will not only strengthen these churches but also the community. A church is a center of inspiration and uplift. A group of ambitious and active citizens studying under unusually competent leaders the New Testament. Principles of Teaching, Adolescence. and Church Scho.ol Administration will know more, teach better, help the young more effectively. and do much towards making the x:hurch and Sunday School more powerful .agents in the fight against unrighteousness.

During the summer, attendance has been rather slack, and the warm weather has wilted initiative and enthusiasm. Recognizing these facts enterprising church leaders know that the new year must start with an unusual burst of speed if the cburch and school services are to attract and hold the attention· of the community. Any body of cLurch people that thinks it can begin a banner year without some sort of rally will see its n1istake when attendance at its meetings begin to fall off and their young people begin to go else,,·here. Rally Day exercises in the Sunday School must be bright and snappy. Children and young pe.~ple Jq\re activity, enter with vigor and pro,am that promises to be exceptionally lively. We have observed that youth loves something doing, does not participate eagerly i'n humdrum work, no matter how important that work may be. Artists seem to have a very good time. To be sure they haven't much money, but they enjoy what little they have. Many business people regard artists as childish in many particulars. What do they do in the way of producing wealth? ':fhey don't seem to toil or spin, yet what a go,od time they seem to be having! Let's all be artists.
