DESTRUCTIVE NAGGING

-" If the United States senate is
Intellectually or morally capable
of formulating a peace program
that will dispose Of all the yeXa-
tious questions with which the
peace conference must deal, :"
says the New York World, Hi it
may be sure that the president
of the United States, the prime
minister Of Great Britain and
the premier Of France would
welcome its assistance. But if
the senate is not capable Of Civ
ing this practical help, the least
ii can do is to refrain from nag
ging and bulldozing and threats.
Day after day senatorial orators
who have barely read the head
lines in the morning papers rise
in their seats and proceed to tell
the peace conferenc what it mast
not do and what it must not
think and what it must not CON
slider, but there is never CON
structive suggestion.
While vociferously asserting
their rights as part Of the treaty
making power Of the United
States, the senator's who are de
claiming against the reported
decisions Of the peace conference
conference seem to be afraid
that any general treaty will be
made with Germany or that this
country will assume in the peace

helped fix upon it when they
voted for, war.

SCRIPTURE

Job 37:5-14.

JoD 81. D ~.
God thundereth marvellously with
his voice; great things doeth he,
which we cannot comprehend.
For he saith to the snow, Be thou
on the earth; likewise to the small
rain, and to the great rain of his
strength.
He sealeth up the hand of every
man; that all men may know his
work.
Then the beasts go into dens, and
remain in their places
Out of the south cometh the whirl-
wind and cold out of the north.
BY the breath of God frost is CIV
en-: and the breadth of the waters is
straitened.
Also by watering he wearieth the
thick cloud: he scattereth his bright
cloud:
And it is turned round about by his
counsels: that they may do whatso-
ever he commandeth them upon the
face of the world in the earth.
He causeth it to come, whether for
correction, or for his land. or for
mercy.
Hearken unto this, o job: stand
still, and consider the wondrous
works of God.

COURTESY IN THE HOME.

If the question were put sud
denly to you or TO me, Are you
a polite and kindly personH'
We should prabably answer,
Why, yes" with a little sense
of affront at the thought that
we could possibly be considered
anything else than polite and
kindly, says an exchange.
And we probably are both-to
the stranger and the casual ac-
quaintance and the friend But
do we carry our civility into our
own family circle2
We are not speaking Of direct
incivility and rudeness. That
does not enter into the question.
But is our family life based upon
essential courtesy and kindness ?
We are supposedly surrounded
in our homes with the people
whom we love best in the world.
1t is for them that we work and
toll and sacrifice. Their well-be-
ing is more to us than our own.
if trouble or illness threaten
them our day is darkened.
