The Religious Herald quotes Shcr-
man as saying; "Thc League of Ma
tions is the most Goddess document
ever drawn" This was an exaggcrat-
cd statement, but ii is Il fact, that
the name Of God does not appear in
the entire document anywhere. There
were Godfearing men on the Coun-
Gil, and no doubt these sought divine
guidance in their deliberations, but
one is led to wonder why the entire
omission Of any reference whatsoever
to the God of Nations who rules the
world, and holds the dcstinies of
worlds in the hollow of his hand The
Declaration of Independence of the
United States, recognized God AL
mighty, and said so, Franklin moved
that the sessions be opened with
prayer, saying. "lf Il sparrow cannot
fall to the ground without His care
neither can an Empire rise without
His aid" Seated around the Peace
table at Versailles, were men who
knew little of God Some of them were
worshippers of false Gods, men we
call Pagans. If any religious service
or action whatever had been propos :
cd, what sort could it have been /?
Each Representative would have had
equal right to insist upon recogn-
tinon of his particular God And Of
course the name of Jesus Christ was
not mentioned. There were members
of that Council-the majority per-
haps-whose ideas of God are absolu-
tely infdcl, and to whom Jesus Christ
is n myth. Some of us are old fash
toned enough to still believe that if
God and His Son are left out of con
sideration and ignored, then nothing
is left Of lasting value.
In this christian" nation, We
defer to the Jews in their rejection
of Jesus Christ. Around the peace
table in Versailles Representatives OF
hundreds of so called religious be
liefs antagonistic to each other, were
assembled. Just would have happened
if recognition of God and His Son
had been insisted upon, can only be
imagined. What did happen however
is clear. How is it possible to frame
treaty of peace which will keep tho
peace, if The Prince of Peace i.
ignored?

COMFORTABLE HOUSES AND
HOMES.

A good deal is heard these days
about comfortable homes, more so
than at any other time in the history
Of the people. AS the country pro-
crosses more and more we think of
getting something out of it all be-
sides money, and the idea takes root
that the home-the place where we
spend most if not all our lives, should
be comfortable. What is Il "comfort-
able" home? What does it take to
make the house and home comfort
able and easy? The question cannot
be answered in word. What one
man or woman considers comfort
able" would not suit another at all.
There is no accounting for taste,
as the old woman said who kissed q
cow. A few generalities may be men,
toned, as necessary to the comfort

THE OVERALL CRAZE.

And now comes another craze,
another boycott, another scramble, a
form of strike which seems for the
time being at least, to he growing
and assuming large proportions.
Should the custom become anything
like nation wide, the first party hurt
will be the retail merchants. After
him, If the craze continues, the man
ufacturer will be finally reached, anc
the price of clothing be reduced
Then all the manufacturer need do
will be to stop the manufactur of
clothing for while, and then some
other stunt would have to be pulled
off. Its fool notion" says one of
our friends. "A man will don a pair
OF overalls over n fine costly pair of
trousers, silk shirt and fifteen dol
lar shoes, and think he is contribut-
ing to the cheapcnng Of clothing"
ly, prices will come down." Instead of
spending money for overalls, if the
people will wear their old clothes,
and not parade around every day in
their best clothes, the demand for
clothing will be less, and consequent
ly, prices will come down." Instcal of
Overall and Bungalow Clubs, Old
Clothes Clubs would be more sensibl,
and more effective. A short life is
predicted for this latest craze. In the
meantime the sale of ovcralls will
boom.

the country. "If | had only money
enough to build house of six

out one room. build five and IA bath"
1t should be unlawful to erect Il house

Another thing is the heating fur
mace in the basement. No one knows
the comfort of these things except
those who have them. a great many
good and prosperous people are get

here, but these good folks deserve all
these and more, particularly tho wo-

WORDS.

If words were flowers in garden

I'd pick few
And group them in beautiful boquet
To give to you.
If words were trills within song

I'd learn few,
Annd fill with love each liquid note,
To sing to you.
If words were jewels, to bc worn or
bought,
I'd take few
And string them on golden chain of

In praise of you.
My words come dribbling from a
fountain pen;

Yet they will serve to tell you once
again
