evening. In the evening he will speak
on The Exceeding Bitter Cry OF
Mankind"
Improvements.
The work on the basement of the
church is proceeding most sausIac-
torily. Zimmerman Brothers are
making an excellent job of the pant
ing. and the men of the church and
friends who have kindly consented to
give their time and skill are adding
tremendously to the appearance of the
room by the new wainscoting when
they are putting in around the walls
UP to the level of the windows. When
the work is completed, the Presbyte-
rian Church will have one of the most
attractive small auditoriums in town.

THE VIRTUE OF GOOD NATURE


We all know of those lovable men
who can say anything or do anything
and be forgiven just because they
are unfailingly good natured.
And 1 believe, little book, that a
woman is oftimes forgiven-provided
she does not break the eleventh COM
mandment and is found out. She
loved much" was the excuse given by
one who never sinned and who made
love the cruz of his life, but I some
times think that men who know the
value of temptation often forgive be-
cause their wives are always happy
always good natured.
You remember, little book. that
wonderful story Of De Maupassant
called The Jewels
The wife was always charming, al
ways beautiful constant amuse-
ment and Joy to her husband who
was somewhat slow and stupid. More
than anything else in the world she
loved Jewels and she was always
showing her husband rings and neck
|laces and other gauds set with imi-
tation gems, and he was always
thinking that the imitation gems set
off his wife's beauty more than real
ones would set off the good looks of
some other woman. At last the wife
died and the husband was diSconso-
late and grieved so much that he lost
his position.
He became poorer and poorer and
at last found that he would have to
take the pitiful little imitation jewels
and sell them to keep from starving.
It almost broke his heart to offer
them for sale but what was his sur
prise and CONSERVATION to find the
Jewels real worth almost a kings
ransom. He was rich beyond his
widest dreams and he was able to
marry a woman of wealth. The story
ended with the sentences:

-Four Minute aIks

BY William H. Bawden

Secretary Of State Lansing, after
receiving the honorary degree of
doctor Of laws at the hands Of Col
umbia University the other day, ad-
dressed the assembled alumni in
Characteristic fashicn- After paying
his respects to the nations with whom
the United States are allied he point
ed out two dangers which threaten
largely to undo all our government
has done and is doing to end the war
in the only way it NAV be ended,
namely, the utter defeat Of Prussian
militarism.
The first Of these has TO do with
what he called the common scolds
at home" Criticism that is not con-
structiVG is unpatriotic, and does d
deal Of harm. The mistakes that
have been made should not be tar
gets, but text books; not something
at which we may carp, but that
which shall enable US to steer better
in the future. Such destructive criti-
cism must be dealt with at once and
severely, lest It's insidious poison af-
feet the body polite. Unless he is
prepared to cite chapter and verse
man should not repeat the reports
that form the soil from which this
criticism springs. Nay, more; he
should call to account every one
denouncing him unless chapter and
verse can be cited. To offset this
danger and for the safety of the Re-
public and of free government thru
out the world, an American must be
outspoken and not mince words.
The second has to do with what he
called the German infltrations of
"insincere suggestions of peace or
course, Germany wants nothing SO
Ixr in CT i
Gus appeal intends to secure If on
her own terms She will point to the
awful loss of life occasioned by the
war, and the dreadful destruction of
property, all of which should no
longer be permitted. She will sug-
gest that it may all be ended at once
by all the nations gathering around
the council table and talking 1t thru.
But Germany has appealed to the
sword and a military decision is the
only way to settle such an appeal.
the terrible ravages of war, eating
out the vitals of the world like can
cerous disease. But civilization is
more concerned about cutting out
once and forever the cancer itself
than merely alleviating the miserable
sufferings caused thereby. 1t is not
only the devastations that must be
stopped, but that spirit of milltarlsm
that has caused them which, if al
lowed to survive, would only cause
similar catastrophes later. Great
tho our sufferings may be, deaf ear
must be turned to all such sugges-
tions, and stern must be our insist
ence on the continuance of the war,
and of our whole-hearted support of
the war. until Prussian militarism
gives way before liberty and justice.
