the things we have heard and seen and felt So my first advice is that you do some thinking before you are carried over the line into 1911t If you are more than a child you ought to have some aim and purpose in life What kind of a man what kind of n woman do you aim to become It is easy to aim at nothing and hit it What mistakes have you seen people make and what mistakes have you made yourself

The two features to appear first qrt series of health articles by Dr Eugene L Fisk which will continue for eighteen weeks and cover two columns a week and a history of the English Bible by Prof J R Robertson of Berea The health articles are on such subjects as Pure Air in the Home Pure Water in the Home Sunlight in the Home Good Food in the Home Exercise in the Home Bathing in the Home and Care of the Sick in the Home Each article will be appropriately illustrated The articles on the history of the English Bible will treat the various translations beginning with the first from the Latin and then the others in succession going back of the Latin to the Greek An interesting phase of these articles will be the examples of certain quaint translations that will be given which will serve to give those who have never seen these different versions an idea of what they are and the labor it has required to band down this priceless treasure in pure English and at the same time conform to the mean ing as expressed in the Greek Wo hope to illustrate these articles with cuts of seme of the translations and a few plates showing fide pages The health articles should appeal to all those who are more interested in the prevention of disease than the cure They have been submitted to Dr Cowley the College physician and have received his unqualified indorsement No one should fail to read them for if their directions are followed thousands of lives and thousands of dollars will be saved > And there is great need for the other series The influence of those who profess to be able to teach the Bible quickly wavers when it is discovered that they are lacking in such knowledge as these articles are designed to give Wolrust that our readers will beon the lookout for these features and follow them closely for we can assure them that any one article of either Series will be worth many times the subscription to THE CITIZEN r 1911 FOR THOSE UNDER 21 Let me say a word to young men and young
