Little cinquefoil Made First Visit to
America Hundreds Of Thousands
Of Years Ago.

Near the very tip of Mount Beacon,
on the Hudson highlands, there grows
a small white flower known to bot
anists as "POlentilla Tridentata," or
three-toOthed cinquefoil. It's history
is as long as its name, and goes back
hundreds of thousands of years. In
that remote period Of the world the
glaciers came creeping down from the
north, burying under snow and Ice
all the country north of Long Island
and central New Jersey. The Gin
quefoil came with it, for the cinquefOil
is a hardy little chap, and loves the
bitter weather as much as the famil-
lar snow blossoms.
When the glacier took up the great
retreat few flowers and few birds
and beasts were left stranded In a
climate that slowly but surely warmed
until the summers were almost tropi-
cal I'm their heat, and, not being de-
signed for such torrid days, the spe-
cies slowly died out, first the flowers,
then the beasts and lastly the birds,
that have been destroyed. The cinque-
foil is one of the few that remained
true to type, and is now found in plen-
~ near the Arctic circle. In appear
ance 1t resembles somewhat the wild
strawberry plant both in blossom and
leaf, although the fruit is not edible,
being small, dry and bitter.

OCTOBER
THE POETS FAVORITE-

With the exception of June, no
month has come in for more poetical
description that October. No one
has described October better than
Riley, Americas most beloved poet.
Possibly he did it so well because it
is his natal month. He was born
October 7, 1853.
Old October's purt nigh gone,
And the frosts is comm on,
Little heavier every day
Like our hearts is thataway!
Leaves is changin' overhead,
Back from green to gray and red,
Brown and yeller, with their stems
Loosenin' on the oaks and ems;
And the balance of the trees
Gittin' balder every breeze
Like the heads we're scratchin' on!
Old October's purt nigh gone.
/ love old October so,
l can't bear to see her go
Seems to me like losin' some
Old-home relative er chum-
Pears like sort O. settin' by
Some old friend at sigh by sigh
Was a-passin' out o. sight
Into everlastin' night!
Hickernuts a feller hears
Rattlin' down is more like tears
Drappin' on the leaves below
love old October so!
Can't tell what it is about
Old October knocks me out!-
l sleep well enough at night
And the blamedest appetite
Ever mortal man possessed
Last thing ct, it tastes the best!-
Walnuts, buttersnuts, pawpaws,
lies and limbers up my jaws
Fer raal service, sich as new
Pork, spareribs, and sausage, too
Yit, fer all, they's somepin' bout
Old October knocks me outi

in connection with the Conference
Then the Record, a trade journal
remember, puts these two very per-
tinent questions: "Was this due to
the fact that Japan, heather coun-
try was a member of the Confer
ence? Were the Christian nations of
the world too cowardly in the pres
ence of 'heathendom to recognize
their dependence upon Almighty God
or even to admit that there is God,
la Supreme Ruler Of the Universe?"
Very few religious journals put the
case as directly and as boldly. The
Boston Globe, in a Christmas edi-
torial, deplores the failure of the
nations to acknowledge Christ. 1t
laments that "twenty mortal centur-
les" have been allowed to run their
course, while the Commonwealth
of Jesus Christ still remains un-
tried" Even the secular press, and
loftentimes in the most unexpected
quarters is coming out for Christ, is
actually pleading for an acknow-
Judgement of Him in the fundament-
al law of nations.
Shall the Church and the religious
press lag behind? In all the vo-
luminous discussion of the defects
of the Peace Treaty how much have
you read or heard about the funda-
mental, the fatal defect in that his
toric document? We are nightly
concerned about safeguarding our
national sovereignty, but do our
statesmen ever give a thought to
the sovereignty of Christ? Herbert
Croly, in late issue of the New Re-
public, says, eff the divorce of know
lege and religion continues it will
ultimately wreck civilization. The
integrity of the City of God can
only be restored by their reunion"
Jesus Christ says: apart from
Me we can do nothing" and that is
Just about what America is doing
toward the solution of the great
problems of the hour. No place for
Christ in the League of Nations? No
place for Christ in politics? Very
we'll. But remember, dear reader,
that the League of Nations or the
Politics that has no place for Christ
will find no place in Christ's King
dom that is coming with slowness
consistent with the majesty of God.
The world today is under the sway
of the sceptre of the imperial Christ.
1t were the part of wisdom to "kiss
the Son." And why should not the
Church, as a corporate society, set
about definitely and in sober earnest
to create that public moral senti-
ment, which, when created, could
register itself with perfect propriety
in our Federal Constitution-that
public moral sentiment which would
make us a Christian nation in fact,
and, having made us Christian in
reality, would lead us as conse-
quence to a national recognition of
Jesus Christ, "the blessed and only
Potentate, the King of kings, and
Lord of lords?"
We need something. What is it?
Is it not that very Commonwealth
of Jesus Christ" which has never yet
been tried?
