Reed at Cedar Rapids.

Senator James A. Reed visited
Cedar Rapids, his boyhood home
the other day and made an address
on the currency law. The Cedar
Rapids Republican, prefacing a full
report of the address says:
Declaring that the new currency
DILL would make impossible anoth-
er such financial panic as that of
1907, and that it would ultimately
make the United States the strong
est financial power on the face of
the earth, United States Senator
James A. Reed of Chicago, made
a mastery exposition and defense
of the measure at an enthusiastic
meeting held in the Commercial
Club assembly room last night. His
audience included nearly four hun
dred business and professional men
including most of the bankers of
this city and vicinity Again and
again he was enthusiastically ap-
plauded by those who have studied
the problem for having given the
dearest and ablest exposition of the
measure which has yet appeared.
His speech was mainly a non-par-
tisan exposition of the measure, but
he paid tribute to the motives aud
accomplishments of President Will
son and his party. He declared it
to be the duty of all good Ameri-
cans to give both the tariff and the
currency laws fair chance to work
out the beneficent results which he
confidently expected wonld result
from them.
1t was perhaps the largest and
certainly most representative gath
ering ever held in the Commercial
club rooms. Men of all shades of
political faith we're there and they
listened to the Senator with the
closest attention as with remarka-
BILE clearness of thought and diction
he analysed the measure.
A splendid banquet preceded the
experimenting. The banquet was
given by gentlemen, nearly all of
whom are old friends of the senator
who spent his boyhood and youth
in this city.

Educating Our Boys and Girls

AuuSdtAhS Jul buys anu Wits
Everybody writes about how to
make more money. What will be
the use of more money if there are
to be no homes? Let, us parents
wake up and think 3G5 days in the
year how best to prepare our son to
be good husband and our daugh-
ter to be meek. patient and long
fOrbearing wife and mother.
We could teach our children a
little each day about the beauty of
whOle-hearted forgiveness, and not
let them know we were trying to
teach them. If they are taught in
early life to forgive and forget the
wrongs that happen along the way
they will form that habit. A good
habit is a tower of strength to the
child
II each parent would simply bow
the head at the beginning of the
day and ask the help of God in the
training of children there would be
a eseat saving in sorrow and
trouble. When one asks Gods help
he is careful of his own acts and
words before the child. Parents do
you think the child is worth it?

What is it For?

Do you ever get started TO WON
dering just what you are here on
earth for? And if you cal con-
vince yourself that the Lord really
had a mission for you on earth,
can you make yours. It is believ-
ed that he also had a mission for
the billion other people of all col
ors, races and places aud the bill
ions that ore to come. And what
can the purpose be? What is the
end of it all? Does the Lord real
ly need US in his his business either
here or hereafter And If so what
is it and what does he want with
the amounted billions that come
and 60?
Do you sometimes wonder if
there is really any purpose in it all
or if we are not just as the beast
and the birds and the other things
that live, and sing and die and
are never missed because others
are living and singing AMI acting in
their places.
There is no man who can reason
it out. 1t is not reason but faith
that counts. AS space is infinite,
man hopes for infnity, as time is
eternal he hopes for eternity, as
matter is indestructihle, he hopes
for continuity, and as God is in
finite eternal, indestTuctiOle and
just ne hopes for a future life and
that he shall not have lived for
the vanity of living Columbia
Times.
