©" Human Radio Sets Pet Vanities, Indulged in Pri-1 vate Probably Do No Hammon ~ - Bo. The late Dwight Morrow served on the, International Marine year of the war, One day he had reason to call upon Sir James Mac- lay, the British minister of shipping. When he reached Sir James' office, a senior clerk was showing what dis- astrous . consequences must from failure to adopt some course which he advocated. Presently, Sir James said quietly to him: "Be care- fil. You are forgetting rule number six." The clerk immediately took up his papers and left the room. Pres- ently, Morrow asked: "And what is rule number six?" "Oh," said Sir James, "rule. number six is, 'Don't take yourself too seriously'. "That," answered Morrow, "sounds a good rule. What are the others?" And the answer was, "There aren't any." There are other rules, of course. But this particular rule covers a good deal of the ground. There are few of us who can afford not to ponder it. I expect, indeed, that on some point or other we all take our- selves too) seriously. We have our ret vanities; and so long as we in- dulge them in private, perhaps no great harm is done. But when they begin to make us sclf important in public it is time to take notice. It is _ rather remarkable how much attent- Jon is paid to this matter in the New Testament. St. Paul warns his con- verts not to think of themselves more Lighly than they ought to think, and to think others better than oneself. And there is one word which occurs again and again--some dozen times, I think--in his writings; and it is perhaps the one word of slang which has found itself in the English New Testament; for a slang word it must have been originally; certainly it bears the mark of slang. New Testament Slang Word It is the word "puffed-up," and it reminds us. at once of, the frog in Aesop's fable that so inflated itself with air, in order to look big, that it burst its--skin. Perhaps one is "more exposed to this condition in the field of religious life, where actually --it is more deadly to the soul, than anywhere else. Certainly the fre- quency of the word in the New Testament suggests that there was a good deal of it in the young Christian Church. A religious experience does no doubt induce a mood of exaltion; and it. is proper that it should do so. The danger is that the .exalted per- son may be led to supppse that his experience is unique; and that he has entered into-a cir:le of privilege from which his neighbors are shut out--until, at least, they have pass- ed through the identical experience themselves. It is of people of this kind that Ruskin speaks in Sesame and Lilis--where he is-explaining the meaning of the. word "puffed-up" -- "converted children who teach their parents, converted thieves who teach honest men, converted dunces, who after spending half a lifetime in 'a cretinous stupefaction, suddenly be- coming aware of the existence of God, forthwith suppose themselves to be His choser. apostles and prophets." Most of all in religious life it is usual to forget rule number six. -- Dr. Richard Roberts in the New Out- look. Transport council in London during the last Miss Canada, 1936, follow Trom coal.

Miss Lilith Bennett, one-time sten- ographer ina newspaper business of- fice here, said she did not know what to do about a motion picture and per- sonal appearance contracts awaiting her "signature. She arrived without fanfare of trumpets, seeking the mo- dest home of her parents, Mr, and Mrs. A, F. Bennett. Miss Bennett, whose slim figure, dark hair and blue eyes caught the fancy of numerous western artists, said she was considering three offers and believed it would not be long before she headed west again. Vancouver, she said, had presented her with a golden plaque and invited hre to be queen of its jubilee this vear.
