The Idea of God.
WINSTON ChurchiIl in the A

Winston Churchill, in the Atlantic.
God, tor Jew n Christian, and even
for the pagan, has always been the
most vital element in government. We
see it in ancient Egypt, and In the
Roman empire; we see it in Israel. And
just as we turn 10 Greece for art and
to Rome for law. we turn to Israel for
religion. What was the Jews concep-
ton Of God? He was our God. We can
recognize him in Isaiah, in the psalms,
in the pentateuch. Yet he was, as they
conceived Him, something of an orr
entail despot-but not wholly. He was
more. He was the kind, just father OF
his chosen people, but outside of them.
in a place above the roof of the sky
which they called heaven. He was q
God who ruled by laws which he a
sent down from heaven and given to
Moses: he was a god who demanded
sacrifice. Then Jesus came with a new
and bevildering idea of Him, SO trans
cendent that many, man generations
were to elapse before the world could
begin to grasp something of the full
meaning of 1t. God is a.father; not
the father of a nation, but the father
Of every man and woman who walks
the earth, of the publican, Of the sin
ner n the outcast as well as of the
Fortunate; a father who is ready to
recognize the spirit of Godhood in each.
no matter into what state of bestiality
he has d~eteriorated. man may become,
by recognizing God in his true rela-
tionship. a responsible, autonomous be-
ing Il will arise and go to my Father"
How? Manfully, not ingratiatingly:
not with presents to propitiate Him, but
with the offer of service-the only ac-
ceptable thing.

BETTER THAN MANY FRoWNs
Right Kind Of Smile Stands Always
'or the Best Things There Are
In This Life.

At the door Of a hospital is the
sign: III you can't smile don't go In"
There are smiles and smiles, but OF
course this means the smile which
stands for the best things in life, not
the kind that irritates, but the kind
which cheers and inspires and stimu-
iates and nourishes. Whoever con
ceived Of that sign was not far from
being a good physician, though he
may have been serving as janitor. Bet
ter than medicine is the smile OF
friendship to those who are set apart
by their tnfirmities. And the smile OF
cheer and helpfulness is not only the
passport to the hospital, but to all
he world, If we but knew it. Some.
one remarks: Who ia beyond the
ministry Of a kindly smile? 1t Is a
tonic to the discouraged. 1t helps the
little child for whom the world holds
so much that makes afraid, and 1t
cheers the aged who find life unspeak-
ably lonely. AS King Arthur's court
was built by music, SO the happier life
We all hunger for here upon earth is
built in large part by the cheerful
faces we see, as we bear the load ap-
pointed for us."-Uniyersalist Leader.

CHILD'S HEAD

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard OF. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. II was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema. and

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Whether
Cipriano Castro, former president Of
Venezuela. will be permitted to land in
the United States is being considered by
officials of this government. Tt is re-
ported that he has started from Paris TO
New York. Although the state depart
ment. through its consular agents, has
been keeping a close watch on Castro.
it has not been advised of his move to-
ward the United States
officials frankly confess that they
have not yet reached a decision as to
the treatment to be accorded II ne
should appear at an American port.
Technically, there is no charge against
Castro, though the treatment he meted'
our to the members of the diplomatic
corps in Carcasas while he was the
practical dictator of Venezuela, and his
disregard for every representation made
by the American minister in the inter-
est of Americans who held valuable
concessions. incensed the state depart
ment against him.
Furthermore, there has been a tacit
understanding that American influences
should be used to prevent Castro from
returning to Venezuela and destroying
the peaceful conditions and relations
which foreign countries with the gov
eminent of President Gomez now enjoy.
Officials of the immigration service.
whom, it has been suggested, might
prevent the landing of the ex-president
as an undesirable alien, have so far no
request from the state department to
act in that manner.

In Military Agitation
fRv Assooiated Press. }


WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The United
states, home of the first heavier-than-
air flying machine, is far behind other
nations in military aviation. This is the
assertion of Captain Washington i
Chambers, United States navy, chief of
the navy's aviation corps, an expert
who is devoting his entire time to the
science. He says:
France leads the world in aviation.
All that she does is worth noting
short time ago. in response to an in
quiry by the minister of war. over
5000 officers signified their desire to
learn aerial navigation. Germany leads
in aerostation, but is making great
progress in aviation also. France has
eight dirigibles, Germany thirty. The
number of aeroplanes actually pos
sessed by each is a rapidly increasing
quantity, but France probably will pos
sess about $50 before the end of the
year, the ultimate aim being to have
1000 as soon as the requisite number of
pilots can be taught to use them
1T is significant of German foresight
that one of the first steps undertaken,
