Meaning of "Bethany."

Bethany means "the house Of
dates" We are thus reminded that
the palm tree grew in the neighbor-
hood of the Mount of Olives. The
word Phoenicia which occurs in Acts
9:19 and 1873 is probably derived
from the Greek word for palm.

This loan, like the others, will

it. Every man will be expected
to take all of the loan he posi-

Licked Them Every Time

From two officers who are serving
in France, The Messenger learns that
the Germans fought with the utmost
vigor up until the very last, and that
the American troops, in their final
plunge up to the date of the armistice
had real fight on their hands every
minute. The truth of this is indicated
by the casualties which attended the
last of the fighting. The Germans
without doubt opposed our soldiers
with the best of their forces, deter
mined to make us pay the cost even if
defeat were right at hand. And the
Teutons learned the lesson. They dis
covered that our men could Outright
them, man for man, gun for gun, divi-
sion for division. 1t is a good and
profitable memory to let repose in the
German mind. LAS Corporal Carey, a
machine gunner of this city, summed
it up for the 18th division, owe have
been in the worst sectors, wehave had
their best against US, but we licked
them every tine."-St. Adams Mes

An Art to Be Recovered

One of the arts which must be re.
paired after the war is the art OF
conversation. A sub-committee in the
ministry of reconstruction might look
into it. 1t will be to small purpose
that We have reclaimed thousands OF
acres, achieved the citizenship of wo-
men, improved the art of cooking and
performed many other unexpected
feats, if the genial reflection of all
this, and indeed the very stimulus to
action, is dried up or muddy. The link
between cookery and conversation is
notorious and not freakish one.
1t is the chefs aim to set us free for
ideal pleasures. We must talk at
meals, but we need not talk about our
food. We have all been doing that
too long.--London Times.

THE HOME COMING
By Corp. Joseph Lee of the Black
Watch-From an English Paper.

When the blast is over-blown
And the beacon fires shall burn,
And in the street
Is the sound of feet
They also shall return.
When the bells shall rock and ring,
And the flags shall fiutter free,
And the choirs shall sing,
God save the King"
They shall be there to see.
When the brazen bands shall play,
And the silver trumbets blow,
And the soldiers come
TO the tuck of drum
They shall be there also.
When that which is lost is found,
When each shall have claimed his kin
Fear not they shall miss
Mothers clasp, maiden's kiss
For no strange soil might hold them
in.
When TIE Deums seek the skies,
When the organ shakes the dome,
A dead man shall stand
At each live mans hand
For they also have come home.

PRESS COMMENT

The Big Man and the Big Job
We suppose it is inevitable that
within a short time following the con-
clusion of peace many of the big men
who have given their services so UNI
selfishly in the present emergency will
be offering their designations and re-
turning to their pre-war occupations.
Probably the statement of Charles
Piez, vice-president and general man.
ager of the emergency fleet corpora
ton, that within six months after the
wars end he and others will have
turned over to successors appointed
by the government the great work
they are now doing, is symptomatlc
of the spirit of the great majority OF
the men who have made our splendid
national war effort possible.
But while it is perhaps inevitable
it is possible to regret it and to wish
that it were otherwise. 1t is one OF
the compensations of war that it re-
veals the patriotism and the devotion
to country of these men who lay aside
their vast interests and give their
priceless efforts for the furtherance
of the national purpose. But there
should and will come a time when
something short of war will summon
the best brains of the country to the
public service.
1t will be a great pity if the present
opportunity to make this possible IS
entirely lost. We realize that a very
radical change in government service,
especially in it's higher branches, will
have to be effected before public SER
vice in peace time will be Attractive
to the really big business men of the
country. Indeed, it is largely be-
cause the war conditions have forced
upon Washington some of this radical
change that men like Schwab and
Ryan and others are found in control
of departments of the governments
activities.
Why cannot this be continued after
the war-be made part and parcel of
the American system? 1t is some
times remarked by the unthinking
that the American government cannot
afford to pay for the brains of the
country's best men but little thought
will show that it is not the lack of
big salaries that keeps the big men
out of public service. 1t is the re-
fnsal of Washington to give big
man the scope and authority that he
finds and loves in his own business.
Big men, in short, will not enter
the public service to become immersed
in routine. Provide job big enough
for the man and worthy of his talent,
and, irrespective of the salary, the
man to fill it will be Forthcoming.
What we need in American peace
time government is largeness and
breadth of conception. Then and
then only will the best brains of the
country be attracted to Washington.

Humble and Reticent

We were saved from invasion and
destruction by the British Navy. Of
that there is no doubt. The German

Therefore we should be humble and

Britain intends to keep her navy at its
fullest strength.-Boston Transcript. |
