A R E we Agreed that Christiana ought to plan ahead for a better

world? Are we agreed that tho foundation o* a better world ia Jesus Christ and Christlike per-sons? Then we can 50 on with the next question, a very practical one. What exactly can God's "new men" do to leave this world better than they found it? Granted, we shall never see an ideal world this side of heaven; granted/ we shall be imperfect persons as long a s we live in this world. It is still possi-ble—n^ore than th&t,-it ia impera-tive. a • Must."—for Christians to work and plan in the direction of the world of God's ideal.

Sn l t And L i g h t The. first thing we can do. odd

as it may sound, is not to do.any-thing. but to be something. JeSus' spoke to his disciples—and to us— in Jerms of salt and light. Now salt and light do not do anything, or rath? er what they do depends entirely on their being what they are. If salt could change ita mind and* decide to be pepper or s a n d , n o c o o k would want i t If *>r. Foreman an electric light could change itself into a doorknob, it would cause no end of trouble. The salt doesn't rush around doing something, it Just is. salt, the light is light. Salt and light are alike in this: there is no real substitute for either one. So there ia no substitute for real Christians in this worlg. They are

* alike also In that they do whatever good they do. by contact. Salt in a shaker, light In a steel box. are of no use. So the Christian to be of use in the world must not shrink from contact with it.

Furthermore, salt and light i r e a l i k e t h a t - t h e y must not be. too prominent. No over-salted food or glaring lights. So a Christian who is like a Phari-

see. wea'ring his virtues chest like a string of m*d4Is; is a nuisance to'all concerned. But still it is true that the first and most constant aervice which e v e r y ^ Christian can render in this c o n - r fused sad world, is simply to be as good a Christian, as faithful a representative and servant of Jesus Christ he can possibly be.

H e l p i n g O t h e r s Another thing that God's new

men can do, a thing which can re-make the world and in many re-spects has been re-making it.—a thing that sounds simple but which calls for a great deal of thought and planning, is this: Just helping other people.

The New Testament makes i t , quite clear that an un-helpful Christian is hardly a real Chris-tian at all. Naturally, not all Chris-tians have the same opportunities. A little girl Just entering the first grade can help her classmates and the teacher; but the teacher if she is a good one. can help all the class even more. The principal of the school, by selecting good teach' ers. can by his skill in Judging

/people help every pupil in the school. The members of the school | board* by picking good principals

..can help the' whole school system. : ^ JV boy Wi a (arm in Missouri does not have the same opportu- 1 nity to be helpful that he would | have if he had been appointed Secretary of State. But a Christian, whether his zone of operations is a farm or the world, can always find ways of "going about doing good" as the Master did.

W i n n i n g O t h e r s There is one thing that most

Christians do not do. which—if j they only went at it with any en-thusiasm—would spread their light fcrther than any .other one thing. ' (We bear in mind that if a Chris-tian has any light, it is because Christ shines through him.) If it ia true that the "better world." 4 even if ' only a little belter, can come to pass only as personalities a r e changed into the likeness of Christ, then the best thing a Chris-tian can do toward a better woWd is to win others to his own Saviour. Saint Paul no doubt was helpful to . others by the tents he rr^de. for we can scarcely imagine him tutn- | ing out shoddy or bungled work. I He was more helpful still by j "growing lit grape" and shining | as a t rue Christian character. But j was there any service he perform- I

' ed which mey i t a s much to him, ' in satisfaction, or to the world, by ! way of improvement, as the serv- | ice he rendered In winning men i from the kingdom of darkless to 1 the kingdom of light?

DALE CARNEGIE - * • ' AUTHOR OF "HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND START LIVING" +

RS. CLIFFORD SNYDER, 816 E. Fifth Street, N. Manchester. Indiana, had never stayed alone In her life until she was married

and moved to a small town. They lived in an old house with five outside doors, none of which had a good lock. Her husband ^ a s gone two ot three nights a week and every night she spent there alone, she set .a chair ii) front of each door with a large pan balanced on the edge. She slept fairly well knowing that anyone trying to enter would waken her.

When they built their own home, they had two outside doors with good locks on each and she felt reasonably secure when alone. The back door stuck and made a terlffic noise when opened which also added to her security.

One night she awoke to find her husband stand-ing in her. bedroom. He had come in unexpectedly.' She sat up in bed and screamed at him. She was so provoked to think he had not only come through the shuddering back door, but bad turned lights on, walked through the whole house and even opened the bedroom door and she hadn't heard him. From then on she was really scared.

Every little -noise wakened her and her hair stood on end until she could identify it. One night she was wakened by bearing the floor in the hall creaking. She thought someone was tip-toeing outside. A board creaked and she became rigid. Another creaked and she broke out in cold sweat She waited and waited.

Finally she decided she couldn't remain like that all night If someone was coming to get her be would Just have to come and get her. She reasoned that most burglars enter for the purpose of stealing, that they seldom entered an occupied house. They were tnore afraid of being caught than she was of catching them. She relaxed and went to aleep.

After facing the facts and realizing that she was reasonably safa, she has not been afraid since.
