HUMAN NATURE
Some nights I go home emotion
ally tired out.
Not by work, but by repeated rev
elations of the meaner side of hu
man nature.
All sorts of unpleasant charac
teristics come to the surface under
the stress of hard times. Partners
quarrel; husbands and wives snarl
at each other; companies throw
their "code of ethics" into the dis
card; bluffers and cheaters, who
have "got away with it" for years,
are shown up in their true colors.
All this is depressing.
BUT . . .
When In human history has there
ever been a time when so many
million people were acting gener
ously and sympathetically as nowT
I can name dozens of concerns
that have continued to operate at a
loss because their owners felt a
responsibility to their employes,
and other dozens that have fought
off any reduction in salaries to the
last possible minute and then made
the heaviest cut at the top.
I know one large city where
twenty - five hundred volunteers
have each adopted an equal num
ber of destitute families and are
oarrying their members through
the winter. I can name a strug
gling little college whose under
paid teachers voluntarily asked a
ten per cent reduction in salaries
in order that certain poor students
might not be compelled to leave
school.
The action of the railroad men
and executives gave me cheer. It
brought back a vivid memory of a
certain Sunday morning when I
was seven years old.
My father, a clergyman, had
never purchased a Sunday news
paper. On this particular morning
he came down to breakfast looking
deeply concerned, and said to Moth
er; "I feel today that I must know
the news before I go into the pul
pit" The news that he felt he must
know was about the railroad strike
in Chicago, where men were killing
each other, and Grover Cleveland
had ordered out the Federal troops.
We have made a lot of progress
in the intervening years.
A wise old professor in my col
lege used to quote the following
verse from the Psalms: "What is
man that thou art mindful of him?
or the son of man that thou vislt
est him?"
Most people, he said, interpret
that to mean: "What does petty,
futile man amount to, that you
(God) should give him any
thought?"
A better interpretation, the pro
fessor argued, is this: "what a
wonderful creature man must be
that even God is mindful of him
and likes to visit him."
We can get almost any view we
choose of human nature. Man is
either Just "a little lower than the
angels" or just a little higher than
the beasts.

remedial legislation. Its obvious
purpose is to thrill readers with
portrayals of illicit liquor opera

writers to shoot up the Ten Com
mandments, lure readers and sell
the magazines.
He says these magazines play up
the criminal activities or young
college students, who are made out
to be heroes in the realms of crime.
The title pages of these magazines
are calculated to appeal to the im
mature and susceptible persons and
tend to inspire imitative conduct.
The courts are constantly disclos
ing that adults as well as juveniles
are influenced to crime by these
lurid stories. The effect of uch lit
erature is so manifest that some
states have forbidden the publica
tion of such matter. 1
He finds that it is evident that
the publishers of these magazines

and corruption ignore the public
welfare and consider only how they
may draw the curious, weak, ab

news stands which sell such trash.

IN MEMORIAM
Nearly two thousand years ago
the Soldier of the Cross established
the necessity for memorials when
He instituted the Great Memorial
by braking bread and pouring wine
in commemoration of His sacrifices
for the salvation of the world. In
the 20th century we are following
in His train in this commemoration,
and we believe that we have right
eous cause to commemorate the
sacrifices of the defenders of the
rights of humanity in the 20th cen
tury by another symbol made sac
red by blood, shed for the peace of
the world
We commemorate this service
with the little red poppy of the bat

which caught the sacrificial blood
of our men In 1914-1918.
Wearing the poppy-symbol pays
tribute to those who gave their all
to bring peace to the world. Wear
ing the poppy reminds our own
hearts, and the heart of the world,
that we must keep faith with the
pledge they sealed by their sacri
fices, that other generations might
have a richer heritage of happiness.
Robert Koch, the German
Doctor Who Discovered ths
Tubercle Bacillus
ROBERT KOCH, a German coun
try doctor, startled the world
fifty years ago with absolute proof
that tuberculosis Is caused by tiny
germs so small that thousands can
ride on a speck of dust. And after
some of the moat celebrated sclen
tlsts of the world had sought un
successfully to find the germ of
tuberculosis and many had denied
the disease could be spread by a
germ he devised methods whereby
It could be cultivated and studied
through a microscope.
It was known at that time that
many varieties of inflnitestlmal liv
ing organisms had their abode In
the body of man. But that some
ot them caused disease, while others
helped man to live, was largely a
matter of conjecture. For the first
time, he showed the whole scientific
world how to separate one of these
tiny mites from others not of the
same family, and how to grow them
In incubators. He proved that cer
tain rod-like creatures only one
eight-thousandth of an Inch long
caused tuberculosis. When injected
into the bodies ot healthy animals,
tuberculosis always resulted.
Without Koch's discovery, an
nounced March 24, 1882, mankind
would be without a sure footing In
its battle against the unseen en
emy. Koch made it possible to
test sputum to learn if a person
had tuberculosis; he proved that
each case must come from another
case, that tuberculosis doesn't just
happen.
Today, 60 years after Koch's dis
covery, tuberculosis association!
from coast to coast are engaged In
a campaign to find the unknown
case which has Infected the known
case; to teach the sick the simple
rules of hygiene which prevent In
fection In others, as well as to help
the patients themselves get well.
