God Understands

1t is so sweet to know,
When we are tired and when the
hands of pain
Lies on our hearts, and we look in
vain
For human comfort, that the Heart
Divine
Still understands these cares, both
yours and mine.
Not only understands, but, day by day,
Lives with US while we tread the
earthly wayl
Bears with us all our WEAKNESS, and
feels
The shadows of the faintest cloud
that steals
Across our sunshine; ever learns
again
The depth and bitterness of human
pain.
There is no sorrow that He will not
share,
No cross, no burden, for our hearts
to bear
Without His help, no care of our too
small
To cast ON Jesus; let us tell Him
all
Lay at His feet the story of our
woes,
And in His sympathy find sweet re-
pose.

Orr EnnLish Guest.

Lord Balfour, the English states
man has arrived in America and
states that our part in the present
great world-war is going to astonish
the world. This shows close student
of world economics. To say this of
America is merely what any observ
ant man would hasten to declare if
he wanted to tell the truth.
There is little doubt but that the
United States stands to-day the most
important of all nations in point of
power, which means available assets
that would tend to indicate strength.
In point of wealth, America leads
all peoples. In point of population,
it is ahead of all republics. In point
of efficiency in government, it has
never had a counterpart in all the
worlds history.
Here we have been planted for
more than three hundred years with
rapid advancement from the very be-
ginning, in the richest country in
natural resources that has ever been
discovered. America was ever the
worlds Eldorado, and it has remained
SO. 1t has been the Mecca for all
who have sought land of freedom
and liberty. It continues to be the
worlds greatest drawing card. No
country has our reputation, none
other begins to approach US in all of
the attributes of power and progress
siveness, and no other country has a
similar or approximate record like
ours. Since the beginning of the
time when America was discovered,
three continents have sought develop
ment along material lines, but Amer
lea has made it runaway race.
Always actuated by spirit of
fair play, and having faith in the
world outside, America has not felt
the necessity of even thinking of the
Consequences of intrigue or attack
from an invading foe. Thus the ques-
tion of armament has never reached
those stages where we could defy the
world.
But at last came the time when we
were forced to go to war against Ger
many because not only our own rights
on the sea were invaded by that auto
cratic power, but the rights of all
nations were attacked. So it is now
our privilege to cast our fortunes into
the world contest, not for aggrandize-
ment, not for more power or gain,
not to emphasize our power or to
show our war-lust, but in the name of
humanity we are contesting for lib
erty and freedom for all nations and
the world at large.
These are some of the things that
Nh M BalfouH- sees as they exist. He
knows that his own country respects
America, and therefore he comes to
our shores to prove his loyalty to
our cause, which is the worlds cause.
He has been accorded welcome be-
fitting his place in the hearts of his
home countrymen, and because he
has risen high in the esteem of the
world which has come to learn the
value as well as the necessity of
democracy.

Less Politics, More Police.


The many recent robberies in Pali-
sade bring to mind very serious
situation which the borough authori-
ties seem disinclined to aid in any
manner.
They know that on account of the
close proximity to New York, Pali-
sade is more exposed to invasion by
thieves than any other portion of the
borough.
If the head of the administration
were only half as careful in giving
attention to the real demands of the
people as he is in playing petty poll
tics on every little thing that can be
trumped up that will put him in the
lime-light, we might have some i'm
provement after awhile. But the way
is certainly dark at present as
Stygian blackness.
If any community ever deserved
police protection it is Palisade. On
account of different conditions that
prevail here, there should be no hesl-
fancy in Immediately putting on a
force that will make it impossible for
burglaries to take place.
All of this could be accomplished
if two extra men were put into action
at night, and one additional motor
cycle man added in the daylight. He
could be on the outlook all the time
for maraders, and the two new men
at night would make it warm for the
same class of intruders at night.
Palisade pays more than one-third
of the entire borough taxes, and gets
precious little in the way of better
ments for it. The time has come when
there should be an uprising and
demand made for proper protection.
In the name of common sense and
decency we make the appeal.

. H ~ IS Us IS IS
Playing the Game.
Playing the game!
This &c o,,p Jai1xr toc1y

Playing the game!
This is our daily task.
Life in way is a game that we
all must play, and the way we play
it makes or mars our happiness and
that of others.
Tragedy and comedy are often
separated by hair line; humor and
pathos justle each other, so close they
come; and tears and laughter often
blend.
1t all depends upon the point of
view. If we look up we see the stars,
bountiful clouds in the sky; if we
look down, we see the earth, the
crawling insects, the narrow streets,
the common things.
If we climb on the top of a high
tower, we see beauty everywhere.
The town is fairy land; the sea is
a wonderful mirror in which the face
of the earth is reflected.
To play the game right, we need
the happy faculty of seeing the
esssddi7l ess aanffdaEisdom Of all hapfPaaff4s- PER
ings. The knowledge that we are
better off than the many; not the feel
ing that we are worse off than the
majority.
The bright side of the shield must
be always carried uppermost. The
rainbow at the end of the cloud must
be implicitly believed in.
We must be Mark Tapleys never
Gradgrinds.
1t is all very simple and easy
when one has chosen the right road,
and started on it. An early start is
desirable. The morning hours are
the lovliest, the most refreshing.
Nature awakes gleefully. She never
sulks.
We turn our faces towards the
rising sun. A nights rest and for
getfulness have obliterated the stains
and scars of the battles of yester-
days. Sleep has "knit up the revel'd
sleeve of care"

No Hiding Behind Skirts i!

One thing to the credit of the name
of Roosevelt: No son of the Colonel
has married to hide behind a skirt in
time of war. One of the Roosevelts
has just married ahead of his mar
riage arrangements so that he may
have a honeymoon before going to
war.
The faults Of the Roosevelts, as
seen through partisan eyes or other
wise, fade into insignificance by the
behavior of the Roosevelts in war
times. With all their faults, one of
them is NOT lack of patriotism.

Prevailing Ambitions

The Baltimore American man
couldn't have said it better than in
this brief fashion:
"To live lazier, dress better, to
earn less and to spend more, to travel
faster and to get nowhere-these too
often seem prevailing ambitions of
a careless, care-free generation"

Your Own Light

On being your own light, by the

Just From Georgia
By Frank L. Stanton

The Morning Takes the Sky
He doesn't heed what people say of
fire along the line,
But goes on in his old-time way and
let's his bright light shine;
Comes up the highway of the East
and tells the Night goodby,
Without the license of the dark the
Morning axes the sky.
Voices of birds and singing streams
an early thrill of song;
The world awakens from it's dreams
the Night has been so long!
So wearily the hours move when sor-
row makes US sigh,
But O the blessedness of Light when
Morning takes the sky!
The Sun of Morning on the fields, in
every hilltop's CLEANS,
The shadows melting with the mists
the joy to breathe the beams!
And life is worth the living-no
troubled dreams are nigh;
Soul, sing thy glad thanksgiving
the Morning takes the sky!
X
Georgia Philosophy
Folks that have stood the fire of
genius for years are strangely averse
to standing the fire of June up and
down long furrow from sunup to
sundown.
Some men are quick to act on the
advice about showing the world your
brightest face" They keep the dark
one for the helpless folks at home.
Life never is really idle. When
there are no more blessings to count
we always manage to keep busy
creating hills to climb, rivers to cross
and hurricanes to dodge where there
are no stormpits handy.

Say Germans Feel War Is Lost
