SCRIPTURE

Isaiah 35: II.

isaiah 90. l-I.
The wilderness and the solitary
place shall be glad for them; and the
desert shall rejoice, and blossom as
the rose
1t shall blossom abundantly, and
rejoice even with joy and singing:
the glory of Lebanon shall be given
unto it, the excellency of Carmel and
Sharon, they shall see the glory Of
the Lord, and the excellency of our
God.
Strengthen ye the weak hands,
and confirm the feeble knees.
Say to them that are of fearful
heart, Be strong, fear not: behold,
your God will come with vengeance,
even God wieh a recompense; he will
come and save you.
Then the eyes of the blind shall
be opened, and the ears of the deaf
shall be unstopped
Then shall the lame man leap as
an hart, and the tongue of the dumb
sing: for in wilderness shall waters
break out, and streams in the desert.
And the parched ground shall be-
come pool, and the thirsty land
springs of water: in the habitation of
dragons, where each lay, shall be
grass with reeds and rushes.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
THRIFTOGRAMS.

The 1S7th anniversary of
George Washington s birthday is
being celebrated today. Washing
ton, the successful builder of a
nation, gave voice to rules for
personal and national success
which are as applicable in this
1919 year of necessary thrift as in
his day. Here are some Of his
words on the use of money and
resources that might have been
written for the present situation
in Americas
81 am no more disposed to
squander than to stint. "
Economy makes happy homes
and sound nations. Instill it
deep"
cit is not the lowest priced
goods that are always the cheap
est. "
81 cannot enjoin too strongly
upon you a due observance OF
economy and frugality. "
"Keep an account book and
enter therein every farthing OF
your receipts and expenditures.
promote frugality and indus
try by example, encouraging man
ufactures and avoid dissipation"
Reason, too late perhaps,
may convince you of the folly
of misspending time.
"There is no proverb in the |
whole catalogue of them more
true than penny saved is a
penny got
Nothing but harmony, hon
esty, industry, and frugality are |
to make us great |
and happy nation.
These statements by George
Washington as to wise personal
economy might be paraphrased
today in the injunction of the
thrift campaign-spend
wisely, save intelligently, avoid
waste-and invest safely; buy
war savings stamps and thrift
stamps.

tangling alliances" with foreign
nations. His words on this sub
ject will probably furnish the
text OF many preachments today
by those who oppose the en-
trance Of America into the pro-
posed League Of Nations but it
is altogether probable that if
Washington were living today
he would be what he was in his
own time, "man of the hour,
fully cognizant Of the great
change the world has undergone
since his time and comprehend
ing the needs of the hour as he
did in his day
That maxim of national pol
icy which was applicable hun
dred years ago must be followed
today, is an argument which
can emanate only from back
ward minds. If Washington s
mind had been of that type, he
would have been content for the
colonies to continue under the
old system, recognizing the rule
of kings but, fortunately, he was
a forward-looking man and had
no hesitation about taking on
the then new principles of free
government, with the result that
the American democracy stands
as a monument to his wisdom
The statesman who is a "man
of the hour" will deal with
world conditions as they are to-
day, not as they were a century
and more ago, and in so doing
will be carrying out the spirit
which Washington manifested in
dealing with the problems of his

common consent Washington has
been assigned to an exalted
place among the heroic figures

In every sense of the word,
Washington was a "man of the

The draft of the world cove
nant which the president of the
United States read to the peace

age on the part Of the conference
which has undertaken to legis-
late in response to universal
hopes rather than universal fears
and misgivings. Whenever a
lawmaking or treaty-making
body boldly takes counsel OF

backward. The mere act OF
drafting the constitution OF a

conditions as now prevail, Will
