AN ERICA FIRST.

There is great Americanizatior
drive evident throughout the entire
nation. Hundreds of thousands of the
adult foreign born of the United
States who are candidates for citi
zenship are attending public night
schools. ~ ...
tSincee+the break came with Ger.
many, thousands have sworn alleg'
lance to this nation, renouncing the
ties that bound them to the father
land. They realize that here in the
progressive environment of the repub.
lie they can work out their destinies
much better than where monarchs
control the reins of government.
The public school authorities of ap-
proximately 400 cities and towns in
every state in the Union, working in
close cooperation with the bureau of
naturalization of the United States
department of labor, are now main
tanning night classes for the benefit
of their adult foreign born residents.
The number of schools and the at
tendance have grown far beyond the
expectations of the most optimistic
and this patriotic movement is now
generally regarded as one of the great
saving force Of American national
life

Every generation fights war for it.
self, as II no other way could it learn
what war is like.
War to most men means personal
heroism, to be undertaken according
to option.
Because men can never remember
the sum Of wars devastation, but al
ways consider It a fresh adventure,
some are quick to criticize an enlight.
ened national policy which endeav.
ors to keep the United States out of
war.
1--WE are pressed out OF measure,
runs line in III Corinthians: 1-S.
In this month OF February. 1917, we
are pressed out Of measure to keep
our portion OF the earth's acres sa.
cred to peace. ..r -...-n
1t is not pressure upon our re-
sources which we feel, nor one upon
our genius. It is a pressure upon the
patience, upon the very soul of the
nation.
Pressure implies resistance. And
pressure produces power.
We are steadfastly resisting a toe
hasty call to- arms with the dignity OF
a people who will not be forced into
any line Of conduct by any foreign
government, And this is we'll. But
the greatest ultimate good is the pow
er which is increasing in the soul
of the nation with every new form of
outside pressure which is brought to
bear upon it.
Whether the event proves to be for
war or for peace, a hundred hostile
interests will have been reconciled,
and scores of the alen-minded will
have been amalgamated with the most
patriotic.

DO you know that while the Gre.

our sun He was making millions on
millions Of other worlds and suns ana
that for the other worlds He made
millions Of Adams and Ewes, and that
on every world He made man in His
own image and after His own like
ness?
Do you know that there are in the
universe 20,O0O,000 of stars, which can
be seen through the great telescopes,
and that every star is a sun?
The stars or suns are divided INTO
fourteen classes, according to their
magnitude, and our sun is a star of
the sixth class or magnitude. In size
it is smaller than the average OF the
stars, and yet it is more than mil
lion times larger than the earth.
Every sun was made in the same way
and Of similar matter and for a SINH
lar purpose, and all are subject to the
same general laws. And as our sun
has several worlds revolving around
it, we may safely assume that the 9TH
er suns have a similar number OF

About three-fourths of the recruits

II has been charged that this high
