March 3, 1928 WINNETKA TALK MANAGING OURSELVES, LENT LECTURE TOPIC Rev. J. A. Richards Gives Second of Special Lecture Series Appropriate to Lent In the second of his five Tuesday morning Lenten lectures on "The Re- ligious Life and Psychology," Dr. James Austin Richards discussed "Life's First Responsibility, or, Manag- ing Ourselves." He briefly reviewed his talk of February 21 in which he had outlined some of the concepts of modern psychology, with special em- phasis on the subconscious mind, and reiterated his statement that the vital, worthwhile life must feel that pull and lure from beyond which best comes from religion. "To manage ourselves we must know ourselves, which is a very diffi- cult thing to achieve," said Mr. Rich- ards. "If we can find out the truth about our inner selves, with all our impulses and motives, face that truth and accept it, we can then practice an intelligent. direction of self based on honesty and reality. Mr. Richards spoke of various methods which have been evolved which will help us to know ourselves. Among them he explained the practice of rationalization, the study of the un- conscious motives which influence our actions and reactions, our emotional responses to what we interpret as accusations or insults, and the stuff of which our day-dreams are made. He laid especial emphasis on the great value of a true friend in the objectify- ing of self. We must recognize, he said, that the fundamental urges of every life 'are very much the same, al- though they differ in place and use in each mind. Possession of these com- mon urges and instincts has no moral This Is TOASTER Month There's no good reason for any home not to have a good ELECTRIC TOASTER An electric toaster is as es- sential to a household as electricity itself.

As the subconscious has a powerful influence, of which we are consciously quite unaware, upon our actions and impulses, so we can consciously do much to determine the currents and trends of our subconscious minds by self direction. In this practice our attitudes must be real and constructive and emphasis must be laid upon the positive, not the negative aspect of the direction in which we wish to pro- ceed. These fundamental urges which lie in the subconscious mind of each individual cannot be uprooted nor denied some form of expression. Therefore to know the. truth 'about them is not enough. We must or- ganize them to some great end beyond ourselves and all their drive and energy must be directed toward that end. The love and quest of superior- ity, the most fundamental desire of every individual, cannot succeed while it is attached to self. To realize our- selves 'we must escape from ourselves. "He that loseth his life shall find it." It is religion that shows us the world of reality. It detaches us from self and attaches us to God. The dates for the succeeding lectures are March 6, March 20, and March 27. The class meets in the Neighborhood room of Community House, at 11 o'clock. Every resident of the com- munity is most welcome to attend. Panther Cagers Win Over Big Five Team The Panther lightweight cagers won the best game of the season last Saturday when they defeated the Big Five feather squad at the Community House gymnasium. The final score was 25 to 23. The game was very fast and the hardest fought of the season as neither team was more than four points ahead at any time. F. Belmont sunk a free throw as the whistle blew to tie the score. After two minutes of over- time play, the Panthers made two baskets to thier opponents' one, thus winning the game. F. Belmont, Belak and F. Runnfeldt were the stars of the game while C. Belmont and A. Runnfeldt played ex- cellent games at guard. Edmund Fulton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank D. Fulton, 884 Hill road, just recently has been initiated into the Sigma Chi fraternity at Wabash col- lege, where he is a student. GRANITE FURNISHED AND ERECTED BY J. H. ANDERSON MONUMENT CO.
