OILING THE WHEELS
OF LIFE
Years ago, shopping in the
large department stores of the
great cities was nut always a
pleasant pastime, owing to the
crudeness, indifference and often
rudeness of the clerks in attend-
ance. It was not uncommon to
hear some red-faced, loud-mouth-
ed floor walker or boss, roundly
abusing some girl for neglect of
mty. The customer naturally
fm very uncomforatble, and had
a desire to escape to a more con-
genial atmosphere.
Today all this is changed. Em-
ployers and dle|rka|, Workers
wherever found, have learned or
soon will, that politeness is the
magic oil that makes the wheels

of daily life operate without fric-
tion.
It is interesting to observe how
much the personnel in stores,
hotels and other places that cater
to the public have improved in
manners.
They are chosen not only for
their ability to do the work but
because of their courteous ad-
dress. In some places of busi-
ness, the help are gathered into
classes and instructed in the art
of acquiring gracious and pleas-
ing manners towards customers.
The heads of departments have
long since learned that those
whom they employ to meet the
public, can repel their customers
with rudeness or indifference, or
they can attract and hold them
by their tactful, kindly, gracious
manners.
A worried, undernourished, un-
derpaid employe is not fit to
meet the public. It is very easy
to be patient with a trying cus-
tomer if one feels well and happy.
It is impossible and under all
circumstances to the public, if
the wheels of life are not oiled
with a sufficient measure of the
material things of life, and a
soul that is at peace with the
world and itself.
Good health, contentment and
real kindness are practically es-
sential to success, if we must
make our living by dealing with
the public. Even politeness and
courtesy must come from within.
We may be able to assume it
some of the time, but even then
it won’t ring true, if it is put on
like a cloak, and does not spring
from the soul. It is easy to greet
people cordially., if we feel kind-
ly towards them.
Thoughtfulness of the comfort
and -welfare of others is an attri-
bute that helps to oil the wheels
of life. If we love our fellow
men, we are sincerely interested
in their happiness and welfare.
For that reason it is easy to in-
convenience ourselves, if by so
doing we can be of help to them.
Whether you are working for
the public or not, remember that
unless you are well and reason-
ably contented the wheels of life
need oiling with the knowledge
of biologic living that will bring
you health if you put it into
practice. Then close your heart
against hate and malice, and in-
vite love and contentment to en-
ter and abide with you. The
wheels of your life will run
smoothly oiled by health, happi-
ness and the courtesy that is the
spontaneous expression of your
inner self.

Miss Sammie Martin, who is
teaching in the Troy schools, and
Carroll Martin, who is a student
at Texas A. & M. College, were
week-end visitors in the home of
their parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.
B. Martin.
Jesus was perhaps the most
upsetting of all the great teach-
ers and leaders the world has
known. His unorthodoxy, both
in thought and action, was bitter-
ly denounced by the religious
leaders of his day. Even a cas-
ual study of his life reveals the
fact that he was constantly in
opposition to what they thought
to be good reform, right think-
ing, consistent conduct. He re-
fused to listen to them, to be in-
fluenced by their criticism and,
consequently, so exasperated
them, that they drove him to the
cross.
In our last week’s lesson, we
saw his healing of the palsied
man and the forgiving of the
man’s sins bring down upon him
a charge of blasphemy. In our
lesson for this week, two other
charges a-t’e brought against him
—both violations of the estab-
lished religious rules of his day—
eating with publicians and sin-
ners and the omission of fasting.
While walking down by the
Sea of Galilee, he taught the mul-
titude which had resorted to him.
As he walked further along, he
saw Levi, a Jewish taxgather for
the Roman "government, cordially
despised by his fellow Jews. With
two quiet words. “Follow me.”
Jesus summoned Matthew to
leave all, to change his way of
living and to “take up his
cross” of sacrifice. Without a
moment’s hesitation, Matthew
arose and followed him. Though
hated by his fellowmen and liv-
ing a life of sin, in his heart Mat-
thew yearned for a higher life.
He had heard enough about Jesus
to have absolute confidence in
him and, realizing that there were
things more important in life
than the accumulation of wealth,
he yielded himself absolutely
when the call came. The gentle,
yet compelling voice of Jesus
transformed this keen, money-
loving Jew into a devoted dis-
ciple.
Anxious that his friends should
also come in contact with Jesus,
Matthew prepared a feast. Nat-
urally, his friends were like him-
self—publicans and sinners. Ac-

Irene Dunne, who unceremoni-
ously cut loose from a career of
stately roles to indulge cinematic-
ally insanities in “Theodora Goes
Wild,” will again be seen in an
all-comedy role in Columbia’s
“The Awful Truth,” which opens
for three days, Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday at the Texas Thea-
tre. Cary Grant this time serves
as Miss Dunne’s screen cohort
with such favorites in support as
Ralph Bellamy, Cecil Cunning-
ham, Alexander D’Arcy, Robert
! Allen, Joyce Compton and Esther
j Dale.
! In “ The Awful Truth ’ ’ Miss
Dunne is seen as the prim, staid
wife of Cary Grant, a bounder of
sorts who simply can’t get used
to marriage ties. He takes an in-
nocent vacation in the guise of a
business trip and returns to find
his wife has been out all nig*ht
with a romantic foreign vocal
teacher.
Ralph Bellamy enters the scene
as an Oklahoma oil tycoon with
a yen for Irene.
cepting the invitation, “many
publicans and sinners sat down
with Jesus and his disciples.”
Because of his willingness to as-
sociate with this type of men,
who were despised by the re-
ligious leaders of his day, Jesus
soon earned the maliciously-given
title, “the friend of publicans
and sinners.” It might be well
to point out that Jesus did not
sink to the level of those he as-
sociated with, but he, through
this association, brought others
up to his level.
In this regard, Henry Yan
Dyke, in ‘Light May Candle,”
says, “Perhaps the most serious
single charge that can be brought
agaiilst the Church as an institu-
tion is that it is induced to put
respectability ahead of passion-
ate concern for all sorts and con-
ditions of men. When every al-
lowance is made for our natural
limitations of adaptability, does
it not still remain true that at
least in action our churches are
more concerned with respectabil-
ity than salvation? We are a
little more eager to be above all
suspicion rather than to follow
our Master in this as in other
respects. If church officers and
members occupied themselves
more with the cure of souls and
less with external conformity and
orderliness of conduct, we would
at least stand nearer our Master
than we do. Is that not the heart
of every reform needed in the
Christian church?”
Seeing Jesus eating and drink-
ing with Publicans and sinners,
the Scribes and Pharisees could
not help but question his dis-
ciples about such conduct. They
refused even to come in contact
with the type of men gathered
about Matthews’ table and here
was Jesus not only having con-
tact with them, but eating and
drinking with them. This con-
duct instantly marked him, in
their sight, as one outside the
law and unworthy of their con-
fidence.
On hearing their criticism
Jesus admitted that those with
whom he was dining were “sick.”
“They that are whole haVe no
need of a physician, but they
that are sick: I came not to call
the righteous, but sinners.”
Jesus was not merely a holy man
and a teacher of ethics; he was
above all a Saviour; a “healer”
of souls. While perhaps, at first
thought, it did seem odd that
One who was so pure and holy,
and who taught such lofty ethics,
should make friends of the vile
and sinful, still as a physician,
his place was among those who
needed healing.
On leaving Matthews’ house, a
group of John’s disciples came
to Jesus and asked, “Why do
John’s disciples and the disciples
of the Pharisees fast, but thy
disciples fast not?” To them,
fasting was a form of repentence
and confession, and of sacrifice,
and Jesus apparently was chal-
lenging this law. Jesus answer-
ed by comparing himself to a
bridegroom, declaring that it
was not the time for the dis-
ciples to mourn when the very
object of their love, Jesus Christ,
was with them, but the time
would come when he would fast.
Then in order to make clear to
them that a new authority and a
new religion had come into the
world to take the place of the re-
ligion they knew, he declared thali
John had, as it were, simply puv
a patch on an old garment, patch-
up the worn-out fabric of Juda-
ism a little, but ‘ ‘ where Christ
comes, there comes change; old
forms and ceremonies will not
suit. Old things pass away and
all things become new. Even
man becomes a new creature. Life
must be different where Christ is
found. The new faith, the new
attitude to God, will require new
forms. To confine the new in
the bonds of the old is certain to
mean trouble, perhaps disaster
and loss.”—George Christie.
