Church Folk Should Get
Options of Gods Goodness

one OF the strongest sermons since
DR.. George Edward Hawes assumed
the pastorate of Market Square Pres
bytcrian Church was heard yesterday
morning. An appeal for more forceful
and constructive thinking and action
in the interest OF building UP the
church and bringing additional sup
porters to its standard was interviewer
into the emphatically expressed
opinion that the present age is not
producing its poets and preachers and
men of letters because we are an age
Of machinery. Put that massive ma
ohinCry TO work for the church" was
his plea.

and we should be able to depend moro
upon our young college graduates for
q revelation of the great powers that
are inspired TO bring men to a real
ization of Christ and His lasting bene-
fits. Big corporations are buying UP
land around the great waterfalls and
streams with the knowledge that the
power of these natural resources will
be put to n big use. "Who of us is
buying salvation by getting options on
the goodness of God and pre-emptinS
His wonderful saving power? Why
don't We apply business principles to
the future salvation of our own souls
Just as we conserve land for future
use?" were thoughts that DR.. IIawes
expressed.

CENTRAL PA. NE WS
Bone of Wife's Arm Top
of Husbands Ebony Cane

Carlisle, Pa, Feb. IS. - DR.. Guy
Carleton Lee, of Carlisle, president of
the National Society for Broader
Education, has just acquired a most
unique souvenir of an automobile ac-
cident in which DR.. Lee, his wife
and members OF his household were
almost miracuously saved from death.
Mrs. Lee, who was formerly DIR. Hilda
Langsdorf, one of the leading medical
practitioners in Southern Pennsyl-
vania, was crushed under big tour
ing car belonging to the Lees. For
months her life was dispaired Of but
she has now fully recovered, minus
section of several inches from the top
of the numerous of her left arm.
DR.. Langsdorf-Lee's medical eX-
perience had made her Indifferent to
purely sentimental scruples about the
lost mushroom-shaped top of her
numerous, but the narrowing anxiety
of her husband during her invalidism
had possibly increased his apprecia-
ton OF the severed bone, for within
the past week he has had handsome
ebony cane made by a firm of promi-
nent Eastern jewellers, which carries
the top OF amputated humerus, set
in gold. The gold setting is APP
inscribed.

York, Pa, Feb. zS.-Although be-

CRAGO DEFENDS
NATIONAL GUARD
Penna. Representative Says 1t
Has Advanced: Not a Po-
litical Asset
Special to the Telegraph

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2s.-In the
next few weeks the army bill, in
creasing Federal aid to the States
militia to make States guards the sec
ond line of defense, will begin its
legislative progress in the House. This
subject. upon which, among others,
Secretary Garrison broke with Presi-
dent Wilson. has the support of a
predominating majority in the House
A poll shows that the continental
army plan advanced by Secretary
Garrison and the army experts can
not succeed by adoption.
The continental army plan sought
TO provide as a military line of de-
fense second to the regular army q
reserve of 100000 civilians, with at
least six months of military training
to their credit, this body to be en-
tirely under Federal control. 1t is
proposed under the army bill to in
crease the Federal appropriations to
the National Guard, and in case of
war to take over the entire regiments
and their officers. While Representa-
tive Scott has a resolution for a con-
stitutional amendment to Federalize
the National Guard before the
Judiciary Committee, it cannot be
adopted. If acceptable to the States
IN less tnan TWO years.
There can be no national militia un-
TIL the Constitution is so amended that
the organizing and training of the
militia becomes q function of the
Federal Government. This is the
opinion of all experts, including Henry
S. Breckenridge, who recently re-
signed as Assistant Secretary of War.
Crago Answers Critics
There is no subject of such wide
interest hnfnpn
fore Representative Thomas S. Crago,
of Pennsylvania, who has seen serv-
ice in the National Guard and in the
Philippines, was asked to formally
reply to the adverse criticisms being
directed at the House Military Com
opposition to the continental army
plan. Mr.. Crago is a member of the
House Military Committee and is
fully conversant with the discussion
which led to the dropping of the con-
tinental army plan.
Not Political Asset
81 must use the National Guard of
Pennsylvania as an example, because
I can speak of it from first-hand in
formation. All of us who have been
connected with the Guard, realize its
defects, but we also realize that, with
even the limited encouragement given
by the Federal Government, great adj
Nances have been made IN itS efnclency
within the last 10 years. In this
Guard politics have played a very
minor part. No really competent
officer has ever been refused promo
ton by reason of party politics, and
the commission have in no case with
in my knowledge been regarded as
political assets. The matter of build
ing up national defense is not now and
never should be a matter of party
politics. On such questions we should
rise higher than the thought of OBJ
tanning partisan advantage. What l
think the people should realize is that
the retaining by the States of the ap-
pointments of the officers of any
volunteer force for national use will
be less dangerous, and less subject to
abuse by unscrupulous politicians,
than putting this great power in the
hands of any one man.
