and Help to Make the Future Better by
Work To-day. Such Is the Occupation of
Man-Studying in the Past, Working in the
Present, Hoping in the Future.
Compare the Distant Past and the I'M

How Much May Be Expected in This World

THE PRESENT.

The ancestor of the Stone Age who first thought
of sharpening and shaping the flint instead of using it
as it came, was just well satisfied with himself as
the maker of modern chronometer, and with just
good reason, for he was thinking.
The first man that built himself hut on stakes
out on the lake above the water where the animals
could not reach him, thought well of himself the
architect now building sixty story skyscraper of
glass and steel AS he was doing his best, he had
exactly the sameright to approve himself.
Every man should read the history of his own
times to know what men are doing now. Read it in
the newspapers and in the serious books as they
appear.
He should read the history of the time near him,
and learn the infancy of the particular civilization in
which he is part
He should read the ancient history, as told in
printed books read and understand the history far
back of that, stretching half million years.
It is an very well to pity ancient ancestors that
lived in constant dread of the devil and the demon that
rode on the storm, caused the thunder, moaned
in the cave But what about our own day. in which
ninety nine out of hundred live in anxiety worrying
about to morrow fretting about old age in country
that could easily produce ten times much as all
could possibly use, if the intelligence of human beings
were devoted TO PROVIDING ENOUGH FOR ALL,
instead of being devoted TO PROVIDING TOO
MUCH FOR A FEW.
In thinking over the past, studying the present,
give your mind cheerful rest by SPECULATING
ON THE FUTURE
AS far as we are above the lake dweler, the cave
dweller the man that ate the marrow from his neigh
boris bones far will future generations be above
We have given up cannibasm almost completely,
and love of cruelty partially.
Future generations will give up selfshness and
the love of money that is as stupid the jackdaws
eagerness to hide feathers and bright pieces of glass;
We no longer if we can help it, allow our own
fathers and mothers to die of hunger in their old age
The day is coming, and it is not far off, when every
man will think it is the greatest disgrace that any
father or mother should KNOW WANT in old age.
Work in the present, think of the future hope
fully. You cannot possibly exaggerate in your widest
dreams the least of it
The Washington times., 1920-08-15
] q q q

The FUTURE is interesting speculation built on
the effort of to-day.
The man who plants tree finds satisfaction in
imagining it it will be full grown. The mother who
cares for child thinks happily of brilliant future
for that child.
Earnest men and women working and doing their
best in the present find their happiness largely in the
belief that the future will reward the present and
make up for the dulness and hard work Of the
present.
What will that future be, how high will men rise
in developing this earth?
Such speculation should supply inspiration in
the leisure Of each intelligent human being.
This is Sunday, day Of leisure; therefore let us
recall what conditions in the past and what they
in the present. try to guess what they will bedn
the future.

But you descend from human beings that ate

the old to-day who have done their best think it
quite natural and proper when they taken to the
poorhouse and left there to die slowly.
The "high civilization" lords of ancient Rome
and Of other cities had the power Of life and death
over their own families And there were many cases
in which, very slight provocaton, the father did
kill his own son. sentence him to be killed, occasion

severity and increasing his political influence.
A hundred years ago the life that we know would
have been impossible. A thousand years ago condi-

thought themselves just about perfect and approved

enforcing lack of ventilation and lack Of light
They passed laws to prevent "eating the bodies
of those that had died Of the plague"
We shudder at the horror Of life in the Dark
Ages. Those that lived then considered themselves
civilized and fortunate, comparing their condition
with the past just consider ourselves civilized
and fortunate to-day, looking back on those
miserable.

protested against the attempt on

county. The protest was entered in
the form OF a resolution which set
forth many reasons why the tax
levy should not amount to more than
seventy per cent of the inventory.
IL was pointed ont that the mer-
chants are subject 10 losses on goods
that are not sold IA they soon 90 out

U. S. LAW AGAINST DIVORCE

Campaign Begins to Make Severance
Of Marriage Tie impossible.
New York-Inauguration of a cam
paign for federal constitutional amend
ment making divorce impossible was
announced by the Rev. DR.. Walter
Gwynne, general secretary of the So
ciety for the upholding of the sanctity
of marriage.
Vigorous propaganda will be carried
on, said Dr. Gwynne, to extend the
membership of the organization to
every Christian denomination in the
country. And ministers of every creed
will be urged to refuse to perform the
marriage ceremony for any person
that has been divorced.
Leaders of the movement say it Is
Endorsed by Episcopal clergymen of
New York and by numerous judges
throughout the country.
