GARBO LATHERED FACES IN A
BARBER SHOP

I F YOU had walked into a certain
4 Stockholm barber shop ’way back
in 1920, you would have seen wistful
little Greta Garbo working up a
lather and preparing hot towels for
stubbly faces as she assisted the
local barber. Later, in Bergstrom’s
department store, you might have
taken a second look at the pretty
little clerk who sold you a hat. But
if someone had told you she would

sion and ecstasy, it would have
seemed too fantastic to believe.
Greta Garbo was born in 1905 in
the mill district of Stockholm. Her
father was a poor machinist, and
her mother an uneducated farm
woman. The mysterious airs and
aloofness of the great Garbo of to
day are natural, for they were traits

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
The Influence of Christian Homes In a Na-
tlon’s Life.
Home! The very word stirs our
hearts and quickens the most pre
cious of memories. Toward its com
forting threshold turns the one who
has borne the heat and the labor of
the day. Within its portals are those
who gladly give themselves in sac
rificial service that it may indeed
be a haven of rest and comfort.
The inroads of modern life and
of our so-called civilization are do

when there is nowhere else to go;
a place to sleep, and sometimes to
eat; an address for mail; a tele
phone number.
Shall we then abandon the effort
really to maintain a true home—one
that is in touch with God, and there
fore ready to serve man? No; for
now as never before we need the
influence of a home life empowered
by the worship of the true God and
guided by his Word. None of us,
who are engaged in the determined
effort to maintain such a home in
the midst of the driving intensity of
present day living, speaks too easily

Mother’s Loving Heart
\X7HA T memories we have of
’ ’ faithful hearts,
Who thought “ the world well
lost,” and gave their
best;
Who saw the hidden virtues in
each child,
Whose love was comfort,
peace and perfect rest.
Dear mothers of the world, and
of today,
Your path in life may seem
a humble part,
But ask each man to choose
life’s purest gift,
I know he’ll say—"A moth
er’s loving heart.”
