DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS True he it said, whatever man it said. That love with gall and honey doth abound; But if the one be with the other welghed For every drachm of honey there in found A pound of gall doth over it redound.—Shakespeare. Hiding savings is never so safe as to put the money in bank. Political ambition makes a coward, a demagogue and a trickster of many a man. The reason there are so few Roy Gardneris because there are few criminals endowed with cleverness. Men and women should not require statutory laws to keep them from making pigs of themselves in drunken orgies. Multitudes are starving in Europe and multitudes have insufficient food in this country. And yet there are multitudes in this country who are breaking down their health and becoming dyspeptic grouches from overeating. PARTISANSHIP AGAIN IN CONGRESS Inflammatory political partisanship has broken out in the Senate. It is to be deplored. It should not be. There is much very important work that should be done by the Senate expeditiously. It is work that should be put through without suggestion of politics. Members should act as patriots, not as partisans. But it is not to be. It seems. Now, as ever, there develops, in a crucial period, a species of partisanship which is withering and obstructive in its effect upon legislative effort. Time that should be utilized for pressing to passage the measures which so sorely are needed, is fritted away in pointless political wrangling. Narrow political partisanship should be discountened by the people. Members of Congress should be made to feel that they will lose popular favor, rather than gain it, if they persist in wasting time and effort in maneuvering for political advantage. No use worrying about whether or not the photoplay will live. It will live.. all right. But the concern of all should be to make it morally and artistically fit to live. THE CHURCH AND CHILDREN (Note—This article is published at the request of the department of evangelism in connection with the annual Calif. conference of the German M. E. church In session this week here.) By ERNEST F. TITTLE General Sinus asks: "What is the good of all the wealth and comfort and glamor of the Victorian age when the next two decades bring us to the graves of ten million young men slain because of the greed and domination which lurked behind the smiling surface of these who are better in any way that is morally commendable or socially useful. The time has come for religious leaders to consider the outcome of religious programs. Of what use is it to keep on going if you never get anywhere? And surely the way-faring man (who is not always a fool) may see that in spite of owt repeated "eyangelistic campaigns" we have not advanced very far on the road to the Kingdom of God. If the graves of ten million men By ERNEST F. TITLE General Sinute asks: "What is the good of all the wealth and comfort and glamor of the Victorian age when the next two decades bring us to the graves of ten million young men slain because of the greed and domination which lurked behind the smiling surface of that age?" Would it be unfair to ask: "What is the good of so-called revivals of religion which leave communities no whit better than they were before?" It might be said in defense of certain types of evangelism that they do at least give us better individuals. But do they? In what sense are the individuals whom they give us better? Are they better husbands, better fathers, better employers, better citizens, or only better in respect of creeds and sacraments and church attendance? Are they better in any ethical sense or only in some ecclesiastical sense? The fact of the matter seems to be that types of evangelism which do not give us eventually a better world do not even give us individu- als who are better in any way that is morally commendable or socially useful. The time has come for religious leaders to consider the outcome of religious programs. Of what use is it to keep on going if you never get anywhere? And surely the way-faring man (who is not always a fool) may see that in spite of owt repeated "evangelistic campaigns" we have not advanced very far on the road to the Kingdom of God. If the graves of ten million men challenge the worth of the Victorian age, do they not likewise challenge the program, and especially the educational program, of the Christian church? If we are ever to achieve any better world, there are certain attitudes which we must seek to develop in the minds of our children. Among these attitudes are: Honesty versus an itch for profit. Honor versus a craze for "honors." Service versus selfishness. Brotherliness versus class consciousness and race prejudice. Love versus hate. Cooperation versus strife. Faith versus cynical unbelief in the possibility of progress. Reverence versus the spirit of profanity. New York Letter This is almost a case of being hoist by her own petard. Summer colonists on the east en dof Long Island have serious trouble with the matter of keeping servants. One woman whose cottage is in Bridgehampton had a new cook each week before the finally got one who seemed content. To be assured that this contentment would last, the mistress turged her car over to the newcomer every Thursday afternoon instructing the chauffeur to take her wherever she wished to go. Bridget saw the surrounding country and liked it. One day without warning she disappeared. The only clue was contained in this note, which was found plumed to her dresser cover. I'd sooner Southampton than Bridge." Ellis Island has seen more tragedies probably than any other spot in this country; but there is something unusually poignant, even for that place. In the turning back to Europe of Lorence Mauman. His parents and brother landed here last month, but he had been left behind with relatives because of illness, with the understanding that he would join them here as soon as possible. He came, and his parents and brothers eagerly made the trip to Ellis Island to meet film. The quota of immigrants for his country for September had been reached, however, before his ship arrived, and he was not allowed to land, but was ordered deported on the next steamer. Not even could his family go aboard to see him and to say goodbye. That, too, would have been against the law. Bequests to organizations and institutions are not often entirely unexpected. landed here last month, but he had been left behind with relatives because of illness, with the understanding that he would join them here as soon as possible. He came, and his parents and brothers eagerly made the trip to Ellis Island to most film. The quota of immigrants for his country for September had been reached, however, before his ship arrived, and he was not allowed to land, but was ordered deported on the next steamer. Not even could his family go aboard to see him and to say goodbye. That, too, would have been against the law. Bequests to organizations and institutions are not often entirely unexpected. When one does come that way, there is something particularly gratifying about it. It presupposes a great amount of unknown appreciation somewhere in the world. The national board of the Y.W.C.A. has just received word of a rather remarkable expression of such good will. Miss Mary Cunningham, 60 years of age, died recently in Elgin, Ill., where she had worked for many many years in a watch factory. She was, in fact its oldest employee. She had always lived at the factory dormitory and spent very little money aside from bare living expenses. When her will was read, it was found that she had saved about $6,000 during these years, and with the exception of a bequest to her church, had left it all to the Y.W.C.A. She had no family ties and these were the things which were dearest to her, although the members of the organization itself had not realized the place she T.W.C.A. held in her heart. Years ago, it seems she became interested in the work of the association, but had seldom visited it in recent years, and few knew of her intense interest in its work. "It was because of what they did for the girls in the factory," explained one of those who knew her best. "She knew the value of that work as people outside can't." New York City apartments—especially the compact ones to put it mildly—have had considerable blame thrown upon them for unhealthfulness, doing away with home life and a lot of other evils of the day; but here is one point on which they can be checked up on the side of righteousness. That is as regards our eighteenth amendment legislators from various quiet rural parts of the country are coming back to the city these days, sighting for the simple life of the metropolis. "Everybody where I was this summer," they say, "was making home brew of one kind on another all short time. Now we gone back to New York to get out directions in order again and settle down to peace and quiet. You see they all have homes or summer col- WATER BOTHERING BANDINI SANTA FE Whitier Santa Fe Springs The Bandinil Oil Co. is having some difficulty shutting off water at Santa Fe Springs. Drilled to 4050 feet water developed at 3600 and has resisted a couple of cementings. It is understood that the Bandini has indications of a good well, but it is held up with the water problem. Drilling at 2525 in brown shale the So Calif. Oil Co's Sanderson No. 1 is showing up rather good and production does not appear to be so very far off. The well is predicted to connect up the Montebeld field with Rideout Heights, Whitler. Consistent drilling marks the progress of t he La Habra Midway Oil Company's initial test well. At 1500 the formation is blue shale. At Bastanchury No. 1 the Standard is drilling at 4300, Murphy-Coyote No. 36 is making hole at 4100, and No. 80 is drilling at 3600. At Whitley No. 7 it was the intention to set pipe at 9984 and cement. Boulders dropped in and froze the pipe at 1965 and made it impossible to carry it further. No. 5 the producer deepening is now making hole at 2575 and going good. No. 6 stands cemented at 2505. The Amalgamated Oil Co. Butterworth No. 1 is now the deepest well drilling in So Calif. At 4660 the well is drilling and shows hard shell. Butterworth No. 1 is now a hundred feet deeper than the Union Oil Co's producing well Meyer No. 3. The Santa Fe Springs field is testing out in a peculiar manner so far, and looks like a lot of deep drilling if any extensive production is to be developed. The Union Oil Co. has two well drilling on the Meyer lease. Meyer No. 4 shows 4820 feet and the six inch pipe going in. At No. 5 some 4475 feet or hole has been drilled and no oil showings yet. The climate of Mars is sometimes said to resemble a clear day at the top of a high mountain, and that of Venus a cloudy day in the lowlands of the tropics.

GANT GUARANTEE HAPPINESS BERKELEY, Sept. 28. "Bidacious!" Is the emphatic spoken opinion of Lucy Stebbing, dean of women students at the U. C., of the plan recently advanced by Judge H. Lewin of Chicago for a school of matrimony to decrease divorce. Miss Stebbing says, "We can establish no course in our schools which will turn out happy husbands and wives. We can lay down no formula for domestic bliss." A happy and congenial home environment is the best school for matrimony, the opinion of Dean Stebbins. British cabinet's reply to De Valera is impending, while its text is being studied.
