¿’’’UTOUTS like this are a happy
idea to be used for plants you
grow indoors. You can add inter­
est to the flowers you keep in the
house and to the attractiveness of
your rooms as well if you use
boxes in clever designs like these.
Bits of plywood are cut out with
jig or coping saw, painted and
nailed together to make the boxes.

NOTES OE A NEW YORKER:
The January Reader’s Digest has
a piece about the situation in Alaska
... They tell of the Japanese laun­
dryman there who was very popular
with everyone . . . But when he
died, he was buried in the uniform
! of a commander of the Japanese
Navy! . . . The New York cinema
critics, who gave Chaplin's film a
1 drubbing, have just selected his per­
formance in it as the best of the
year . . . The appeasers want you
to handle the dictators with kid
gloves . . . It’s more sanitary to
handle them with rubber ones . . .
The Nazi propagandists make a
great to-do about the fact that Eng­
land hasn't paid her war debt . . .
The Chicago editorial writers, how­
ever, point out that England has
paid back half of it so far—more
than any other debtor nation . . .
Germany has never paid a penny of
its debt . . . C. R. Hunter’s theme
song for the isolationists: “Please
Go 'Way and Lemme Sleep!”
According to G. K. Chesterton,
“merely having an open mind is
nothing. The object of opening the
mind, as of opening the mouth, is to
shut it again on something solid”
... In spite of the Third Term and
other gloomy comments, U. S. Gov't
Bonds are the safest investment not
only here but everywhere in the
world . . . The records prove that
Hitler has given the world his sol­
emn assurance (no less than eight-
een times) that he desires no Euro-
pean territory which he later con-
quered . . . America has had all
the troubles Europe has had. A
revolution, a civil conflict, famines,
depressions, plagues, etc . . . But
through it all America has never lost
its precious freedom ... Ed Howe’s
grand line: “Instead of loving your
enemies, treat your friends a little
better.”

Immortal Character
Think of human life in terms of
eternity. Realize that what you
are today in process of becoming
determines your character forev­
er. Because you learn to love
and to trust God through the shad­
ows, you will be able to rejoice
His support and guidance in the
sunshine. Strive to do your duty
well when days are dark and you
will develop capacity for joyous
service when your heart sings
again. Indeed, earnest endeavor
discovers sunshine amid the shad­
ows.—Frederick G. Budlong.
