A Spiritual Awakening.

This weeks program of the evangehsts
at ST. Paul's NJ. E Church should bring
many TO g realizing sense Of their spiritual
needs, and we trust the harvest may be
bounteous. Even those who do not find
"revivals" 70 their ethical liking must
concede that they awaken the people TO
greater activity in the cause. Were il
not for such rallies, high spots we may be
warranted in calling them, We fear We
might easily hypnotiSe ourselves into a
condition of inaction on reaction.
Christianity demands constant pro-
gression, not standing still; il develops in
the nourishiDg atmosphere of understand
ing, and understanding comes in largest
measure through the Interpretation of the
Scriptures, and from the guidance of god
ly men and women, or from individual
realization of great truths.
The program for the meetings is
comprehensive, bringing into activity a
great number of the religious workers Of
the community in cooperation with DR..
MeCombe and Professor Chase, whose
labor Gin the vineyard" is recalled by
those who attended Brandywine Summit
CaInpaneeting, last year.

There is much TO be done and there s

Ere the mantle Of glory may truly be worn.

How great in your hands may your task

The humblest Of dutic. soon looms very

Whenever great mind shall takc it IN

II you really are eager TO climb to success
You must give TO your task everything

No ''iust good enough" viii bring honor

Success demands always tho best you

You murt carry yo,n burdens with never
Nor grumble Whenever your sun fails 10

There is grief to be suffered and heartach.

And you must learn how to accept a defeat

You must work for il, strive for it, dream

PRESS COMMENTS
THE BOILING CHARGES :

Fortunately for the standards of com
mon deccncy in American public life, tho
] charges brought against the brothcr-in-
law OF President Wilson by man under
Federal indictment for breach Of the
banking laws, have not disclosed any po-
! iitioal bearings. Tho outcome of the in
| vestlgation is found in the report Of the
head Of the chief Of the New York office
OF tho Shipping Board investigation
btirearu, that the charges are the work Of
| character assassins. Mr.. Boiling, who WAS
made the object Of covert and anonymous
attacks, and whose relations with tho
man and the transaction in question havo
been gone through in thorough manner,
has been given a clear character by Ad
miral Benson. He appears to have suf-
fefed from the nnifnts Of n orte-time friend
who owed him money upon q house which
Mr.. Boiling built FOR him as contractor, as
lar back as 1913. The amounts paid from
time to time in liquidation Of this in
debtedness have been looked into and
found TO be wholly in relation TO the
transaction, and in nowise connected with
the so-called commission deal This
latter appears to have been in the
form of a proposal by the man in question,
and who sponsored the charges against
Boiling that they two and several others
divide up a small commission said TO have
been proffered by the company for "a
comparatively small favor" that the
company wanted of the Shipping Board.
The evidence showed that Mr.. Boiling
refused point blank participation in any
such transaction. Yet the ties between
him and Hands-stll professedly his
friend-led the latter according TO Boil
linpB account. To endeavor TO have him
use his good Offices to get the Department
Of Justice % let up on Sands. Refusal
by Boiling 10 make any approaches 10
the President in the matter of, and his
full conviction that MIR. Wilson could not
be moved 20 interfere, seems 20 have an
gered Sands and TO lead 10 the activities
that have been referred to in the report
as baving the form Of blaokmail
Here, then, is the story II this in the
type OF petty malice and animosity tha.
lies back of the sensational charges against
the conduct OF the Shipping Board, then
the warning given in these columns when
the investigation was started that the
party soon TO have the roins of govern
ment would do we'll not to give itself too
much Investigations made upon slender
foundations TO the neglect OF constructive
enterprise in Congress, remains sound
Nevertheless tho evidences for immense
wastefulness and worse appear TO be
strong In tho Boiling episode the brother
in-law Of tho President might have pene-
tfated tho character and the motives Of
the man with whom he had petty financial
dealings, that were susceptible of being
gwen a sinister construction. He did not
do this and suffered from the type of his fa-
mIiar Observation-Disclosures American.

Perhaps most remarkable of all the in
nurnerAbIe Recommendations of Divine
Providence" is found in The conduct of
The Pequot War; forced upon the colo
nists. They regarded it as being conducted,
sssp by step, by Gods hand; they placed
their chaplain In command OF the little
Army, hsoning the prayer of Joshua q.
they marched against the hosts Of red
uen, and crushed the savages st single
blow, despoilod them Of their power
for svil for all time The decisive battle
was preceded with the usual day Of fasting
and followed by day of Thanksgiving,
or Humiliation, as it was also called.
To she wondering and awe-inspired
Indians these demonstrations seemed like
Miracles, but 10 the faithful Christians,
who knew where 10 turn in hours Of need
and tribulation, these manifestations Of
the Omnipresence were regarded right
fully as answers TO their prayers, the
logical requital of the ir faith.
Washington. when the darkest days of
tho nation, just born, came upon US march
Cd his troops TO service Of Thanksgiving
and prayer. Later he again assembled
his starving, ragged and freeziDg men at
Valley Forge 10 express their gratitude
for Gods bounty and protection, even
though their plight was pitiable. Still
later, as President of the New Republic
he turned to the same Divine source for
guidance. when the venom of tens of
thousands Of tongues was directed at him
and at the struggling experiment of free
government.

Again, but later, the last sznnn portion

party Of Puritan colonists and there seem
