mitted to the Senate for ratification.
The resolution was referred to the
Foreign Relations committee. Sena-
tor Knox offered it after comforting
with Senator Lodge snd indications
are that the resolution will have the
backing of the forces which are con-
ducting the fight against the league.
It is understood to be designed as
official notice to the Peace Confer
ence that ratification of the treaty
in it's present form is opposed.
The resolution proposed that 1.-The
treaty shall be drawn to permit any
nation to reserve without prejudice
to itself, for future separate and full
consideration by it's people, the ques-
tion of any league of nations" but
that the obligations Of Germany and
her co-beliggerents under the treaty
shall not bethereby affected.
The resolution would declare it to
be the policy Of the United tSates
"in order to meet fully and fairly
our obligations to ourselves and the
world, that in case the freedom and
peace of Europe were again threat
ened the United States would regard
the situation as a menace to it's own
peace and freedom and would soon
suit other powers affected with the
view of devising means for removal OF
the menace.
A fresh outbreak of the treaty de-
oate was threatened in the Senate
today when Senator Pittman began
reading the Taft speech favoring the
League of Nations. Unanimous con-
sent for it's insertion in the record
had previously been denied.

Time is our stock in trade, our
bank account, our capital. AT the.
close Of the old year we foot up ac-
counts and balance our books. What
do they show? Have we used our
capital during the year2 What has
become our gain or loss? Perhaps
we are surprised, astonished, asham-
ed to find that we have wasted so
much time, that we have spent so
much valuable time foolishly, that
we have frequently "killed time"
which might have been used to our
profit and ahppiness and in such
way as to have helped others. We
had just as much time during the
year as any other man or woman on
earth. It seems that somehow most
of the good things in this world are
equally divided. Not Sc with time,
that without which all other things
are valueless. All the time that has
passed is forever gone. We cannot
call back one single second or inn
prove the use we made or failed to
make Of the time that has passed.
All the time Of which we can boast
the present moment, and the only
way we can guarantee the right use
of our time is to use each moment as
though there was no more. We have
no assurance of being ranted another
minute Of time, and none are better
off in this particular than are we.
AS we open the books Of the new
year our capital is the moment Of
time. Let us pray that all the mo-
ments of the entire year may be ours
to use in this life. And if God
grants our petition, how shall we use
these moments? This is the big
question we face on the eve Of the
new year.

IN PRAISE OF COUNTRY LIFE

We reprint the following article
from contributor to one Of our

fully expressed as to be we'll worth
passing on:
Let me live the years of my stay
upon earth, way out in the country
close to nature and natures God
want to feel the touch Of the sea-
sons as they come and go, making up
the years.
want to feel the chill of White
in my frame, not too severe, but
enough to make the blood tingle.
want to feel the gentle warmth
Of Spring, as with her touch Of mag
ic, she wakens new life in things
dead.
want to feel the heat of Summer,
as the golden sunshine ripens the
harvest and natures the fruit and
flowers.
Lastly, want to catch the cold
breath of Autumn coming to fan
away the heat and lethargy of sum-
mer.
/ want to hear the cry of the whip
poorwill as the twilight settles Ger
the hill and hollow.
l want to be near where the Bob
White is calling to his mate, when
fields of ripening wheat wave gently
to the passing breeze.
! want to hear the twinkle of bells
on the distant hillside, as the sun is
going down and the katydids com
msnce their night-long chatter.
Then, when old Jack Frost passes
by, with his touch of white, want
to wander down the old rail fence
and on to where the muscadines hang
in rich profusion; and there for the
time feast and forget.
Yes. let me live out the years Of
my stay on earth in the fullness of
the country, and then dying, let me
rest in the quiet church-yard near
where father and mother sleep
where the sunbeams play in the sum-
mer, where the snow drifts in win
