THE DEVELOPMENT OF GREAT

Every child comes into this world
with Gods kiss upon its soul. Well
has it been said, "No heather child
was ever born" The child is Gods
and not the devils, and it is for US to
preserve the image of the eternal with
which he is lowered at birth. If
Christ was holding Peters own child
how natural it was that He should in
dictate that he ought to better than
his own father. Keep them close to
Christ and forbid their straying into
strange paths so that each one of
these little ones shall live and not
perish is ~ fulfill the will of the
Father. Such a policy will insure a
new world in the present generation.
Tomorrow is the possession of our to-
day. To hold each child in the King
dom, to enshrine Christ in the heart
of every little one is to determine the
reign of Christ within the life of each
and all and to insure the swift coming
of the Kingdom of our dream.

gram for Orphans.

Charles V. Vickrey, general secre-
tary of the Near East Relief, has re-

organization in the Near East. Mr..
Vickrey believes that "a few millions

of the page? The credit page wipes it

Do not be satisfied with present at
tainments. Do your best each day and
when you come to the end of your life
you will have the extreme satisfaction
of feeling that you have done what
you could.
The world has need of helpers, of
pushers, of boosters, not slackers and
derelicts. Say to the old year good
bye and face the new year with lofty
purpose, an heroic courage and a de-
termination by Gods help to make it
the best of your life.
Yours for success and happiness,

of large number of Americans who
are scattered in various parts Of Po-
land. Many of these Americans have
already made their way to Danzig,
and others are endeavoring to reach
that port. 1t is primarily for their
protection that the warships were Or
dered to the Baltic.
1t was stated at the state depart
ment that a few Americans were at
other points on the Baltic and that
the nearneSS Of the bolshevist activi-
ties in the Baltic states had made it
important that some protection be
within their reach.
Some Of them are officials Of this
government, sent to observe the situa.
ton Of that part of tie world, and
others are commercial representa-
tives, endeavOring to establish bust
ness relations with the anti-bolshevist
states and their nationals.
There still was no indication that
the American government was seri-
Ously considering recognition Of Cen
eral Wrangel. Careful consideration
is being given, however, to plans for
extension Of support to Poland and
officials intimated that a result of this
study might be made known shortly.

London, Aug. 17.-Premier Lloyd
George stated in the house of COM
mons that the government had made
it clear to Gen. Baron Wrangel, anti
bolshevist leader in South Russia. that
if he further attacked the soviet
forces he must do so on his own re-
sTonsibility. Gen. Wrangel since then
lad opened further operations the
premier added, and the responsibility.
consequently, was his own.
