WASHINGTON, Feb, lS.-Grover
Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson never
got along well together and once In a
tiff over academic matters at Princeton
university the former said Of the latter
that he was a man of violent preju-
dices and ungovernable temper"
Probably In moments Of self-aualysis,
Mr., Wilson has admitted an inclination
TO get furiously angry over things that
rubbed him the wrong way. There
have been times. especially In the days
when Europe was taunting Mr. Wilson
with that too proud to fight" phrase,
when the president OF the United States
would have welcomed the opportunity
to take on scrap with anybody.
The public does not know Mr.. Wilson
as a man of hot temper. He has dis
cplined himself to conceal II and shrewd
men about him have managed to pre-
vent him nom giving vent to angry
passion on public questions,
Left to himself the president would
most surely have exhibited his temper
long before the Lansing episode. That s
why J regard II as not an unnatural or
abnormal manifestation Of Mr., Wilson'S
mind. but kperfectly normal and
natural outbugst.
He used to get angry at Paris. on
one occasion he came away from a
meeting with Prime Minister Lloyd
George, Premier Clemenceau and the
rest Of the peace conference. and he
never said word for hours afterward
TO anyone In his household, He was
mad clean through.
In the IA years that have studied the
Wilson personality first in his lecture

 MT Van Amburgh states that the emphatic announcement that millions now living on the earth will never die may seem presumptous to many peo- pie, but when the evidence is carefully considered I believe that almost every fair mind will concede that the con clusion is a reasonable one. Life ever lasting in a state of happiness is the greatest desire of all men. Whether men have faith or not in the divine promises, each one would he glad to know of certainty that there was be- fore him life everlasting in a happy state. Christians have been looking forward to time when the life ever lasting will be offered to all peoples of the earth.
 MT Van Amburgh has gathered an array of evidence to substantiate his claims and to show the basis for a worthwhile hope, how to live forever. After hearing the evidence the lecturer believes it will not be necessary for anyone to regard his statement as a
