Governors throughout the country are

apparently reached no conclusion as TO the
proposition of this Government entering a
league to enforce peace,
OF twenty from whom statements were
sought only seven would comment in any
way. These follow:
MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH Pennsylvania
There should be no difference of opinion
on international problems. We should all
stand by the Government.
JAMES NJ. cox, Oho-President Wilson's
message marks a distinct epoch in cvili-
zatlon. It is far-seeing and statesman
like and not in conflict with Washing
toms idea of entanglng alliances. for the
reason that conditions are changed.
JAMES j.. FERGUSON, Texas-I do not
think this Government should enter into
any league to enforce peace. It would
be Q. great mistake. We have kept out of
the war so far and we should keep out of
anything that might force war upon us.
am unalterably opposed TO the idea OF
Joining in Il peace movement such as the
President proposes.
e i. Philip, Wisconsln-For the pur-
pose of renewing the discussion of peace
terms in Europe and again opening the
doors for negotiations between belligerent
nations, President Wilson's address is
both timely and we'll worded. AS plan

Russia, according to the trend of opin-

mean humiliation and defeat for her. More

future peace will be effective unless German

the Garrck Theatre on How Prayer Does
Change Things That are Changed"
He said in part:
mo mans hand has ever yet reached up
to take as much as Gods hand is reachins
down to give. We're beggarly askers, We
ask 30 little. God never crowds us. He
needs open hands to take what He longs to
give
There are three simple conditions that
insure every prayer being answered In
pose of ones life shall be to please Jesus.
That puts us into full-faced touch with
Him. The second Is that the prayer shall
be in Jesuss name That puts all Of His
power behind our petition. The third Is
that the prayer shall be In faith, not faith
that God can but that He will do what
we ask. That means close in touch with
Him.
There are four suggestions about learn
ing how to pray with simple skill. Prayer
needs time, daily time, quiet time, time
when you're not tired. Prayer needs n
place, a quiet corner where you go Off alone
with God and talk things out Then prayer
needs a book, the Book. God speaks in His
Book What He says to us will change
what we say TO Him. Bible reading is the
the teacher, tho Holy Spirit He is in
every heart that has opened to Jesus. He'll
teach us.
That's the school of prayer. schooltlme,

we pray simply and God answers and our

"It is an extravaganza" he said, TO
make dental students put in their time
learning Latin when they might be using
that time in studying some more practical
branch of dentistry. They don't need
Latin; usually they learn It very badly or

be written in English"

going water wheel that is intended to
perform much the same service for the
navy as the British and French tanks
have for the allied armies. Although
highly visionary and entirely untried,
1t has novelty and potential power that
draws attention. In addition to being
nmphibious to certain degree, it is
theoretically capable of great speed.
Essentially 1t consists of two big con-

NEW WINE IN OLD BOTTLES
Paoanism Gradually Gave Place to
Christianity and the Observ-
ance Of Christmas.

When paganism gave place to Chris
tianity certain of the old festivals
we're spiritualized and transformed
and became Christian observances.
The change was gradual and it was
not until the third century that there
was any special observances of the
nativity. Professor Schaff explains 1t
in these words:
"The artistic religious impulses
which produced the whole church year
ultimately called into existence the
festival which forms the groundwork
of all other annual festivals In honor
of Christ"
Thus, Christmas came to be cele-
brated during the season when the
old heather winter holidays were for
merly observed, and the old pagan
cycle of festivals was superseded and
sanctified by the Christmas cycle of
holidays. The giving of presents and
the use of lights were among those
transferred customs. As they were
