Grain and Provisions.

Chicago. Dec. 28.-Corp prices had a downward tendency today, influ
 enced more or less by notice that the directors of the exchange had prohib- ited further trading in the December option. Present shortage of supplies to enable deliveries to be made on De- cember contracts had been exercising a bullish sway over other months. Re lnoval of this factor helped, therefore, Ito ease the market. Opening prices, which ranged from 1-4c to 3-8c off to a shade advance, with January $1.26 @1.2614 and May $l.24 1-2@1.24 3-4 were followed by moderate general stock setback

JUDGE MOTT

Every life has a ministry which is
not often the subject of history or
eulogy. II is a ministry to which the
individual pays no heed. for which he
did not work, which had no definite
place In his plans and was not the
outcome Of any systematic study. 1t
is ministry subtle, hidden, unher-
aided and unsung. 1t is not speech,
or activity. or beauty. II 10 not
material force but spiritual, and 1t
works like some delicate perfume
which fills the whole house, or a
flower whose fragrance Is felt In the
air we breathe, or a soft beam of lisht
streaming with radiance from some
distant star. 1t is the ministry of a
beneficent personal influence. 1t is
not the life as men see 1t, with its
multitudinous duties or its countless
activities; but 1t flows out from the
life, in some manner touches other
lives, and strangely affects them or
even permeates them.
Our lives should not be judged as
they appear to men generally, or as
they affect the public sentiment. For
we are not often such as many ac-
tions of ours might lead others to be-
lieve or as cursory glances may sug-
gest. We so often appear in light and
guise different from what We are
really In ourselves. Our innate dis
positions, our true sentiments, our in
ward character, our spirit and mo-
tiyes, our intentions and aims are
not subjected to many other eyes but
our own. And none know us but our
intimates and faithful acquaintances,
who have the opportunities and the
privilege of seeing into the depths of
our natures. The revelation which we
make of our inner selves is vouch-
safed only to these few who are the
confidants, as 1t were, of our secrets,
the shares of our spirit. And there
fore every judgment which men pass
on us and which is not founded on
this intimate revelation, or which Is
based simply on what appears on the
surface, is apt to be misleading. un-
true, unfair and false. Absolutely
there is one alone who Judges. and
that one is God who searches the reins
and the heart. and to whom nothing
is unrevealed. And really every hu-
man judgment is unwarranted and for
hidden.
Human judgments seldom take ac-
count of that undercurrent which runs
through every life, hidden from all
but few who are conscious of the
silent ministry constantly exercised
by acts, movements. deeds and words
producing effects for good, noted by
the recording angel to be laid before
the just God above when the soul
stands before Him for judgment. All
of US will be saved then by this his
tory of faith, honesty, patience,
honor. self-sacrifice. essential devo-
ton. sincere love of God and absence
OF sin-those deep qualities which will
merit the divine approbation-and
those interior dispositions which
shall be found to have been earnest,
correct and meritorious. The outside
may have been rugged, and severe, un-
The Washington herald., 1917-08-05

attractive and forbidding. but the
heart was right, the motive was sin
cere and the aim pure.
There are characters which in life
do not seem TO draw. or TO gain gen.
eral commendation. but which in
death lose the austerity which may
have been ascribed to them, and be-
gin to manifest the elements OF con-
sistent devotion and constant fidelity
to high and noble principles. Lives
are then made to show forth their in
trinsic worth or excellence and to
distil an odor that is not unpleasant
but acceptable and agreeable.
1t is then we are capable of render
ing somewhat OF justice to the dead
and gone, and to view their coming
and going amongst us in a perspec-
tive that puts in proper relation what
might have the subject of unfavor-
able study. Truest history is not
written the lifetime of individuals or
the progress of national events. For
bias. prejudice. misconception, passion,
selfshness exercise too common and
general an influence on the judgment.
and we are incompetent to put right
values on deeds. motives, spirit. aims
and intentions. Reliable history can
be written only after the lapse Of
years shall have destroyed haste. and
subdued human passions and calmed
the minds. and shall have enabled
men to see the truth and to recognize
merit. So no human life can be Judged
and no human motives can be ap-
preciated and no conduct can be prop
erly measured until death graciously
and mercifully clears our eyes from
error, and our hearts from sell
fishness and our minds from arbitra-
riness, and we be placed in position of
vantage. fairness and Justice.
The great Robert 'Emmet, in the
closing days of his career. boldly ven
tured to command that no man should
dare to write his epitaph, or to charge
him with dishonor. None then living
could pass a just verdict on his con-
duct or motives Only other times and
other men. far removed from his time
and age, would be able to write his
true epitaph. because they would be
able to view his life in proper light

Quartermaster's Corps of Draft
Army Will Number Nearly 10000.

Yesterday was holiday for the
student officers stationed at Fort
Myer. Hundreds of the men from
the training camp visited Washing
ton and nearby pleasure resorts dur
ing the day. In the evening many
attended a "the dansant' given in
their honor by the junior auxiliary
of the Red Cross, in the club rooms
fitted out by the local chapter of the
Red Cross. A dance last evening
that attracted many. was that given
candidates for commissions at the
Town and Country Club. 4So9 Georgia
avenue.
The holiday came as a welcome
rest after the strenuous battling with
imaginary Germans on Friday. Both
infantry and cavalry members were
in need of a rest after the line of
work mapped out for them and ac-
complished during the day of the
sham battle.
The heat, during the past few days,
including the day of the sham battle,
was not nearly as oppressive as dur
ing the earlier part of the week. stu
dent officers report. II anything. it
is said the camp site cools off more
quickly than does any place in the
sides by the open fields, which cool
off quickly at night.
According to reports, the quota of
the District at the next series of
officers training camps will number
sixty-two instead of forty-eight men.
Already there are $50 candidates for
places in the training camp. Several
have already been rejected because
OF organic diseases or because of
other reasons which would deter them
from making good officers.
officers from the present training
camp will be selected to command
the new duartermaster's camp. num-
bering between 1000 and 10000 pri-
Yates, that is to be established un-
der the selective draft act. Three
thousand two hundred officers will
be needed. A tract of 5000 acres will
be selected later for the camp.
