PULPIT ORATOR SAYS
DEAD MAN FELL SHORT
RCHREQUIREblENT

Springfield. MS, May l2.-Three
great political leaders. David Lloyd
George, former President James A.
Garfield and the late speaker of the
house. Champ Clark. were weighed in
the balance of their church at the an
nual congress Of the Disc pies Of Christ
here and two of them were found want
ing.
Consideration of their lives was
brought to the attention of the con.
gress by Professor Frederick ID.
kerschner of Drake university, Des
Moines, Iowa, in his address on tine
contribution of the disciples of Christ
20 Christianity"
Both Premier Lloyd George of Eng
land and former Speaker Champ Clark,
Professor Kerschner declared. fell
short of that full content of Christian
idealism"
"Mr. Clark was n political leader
first of all" he said. 'and he died as
he had lived. He had the tragic OK
pcrience of just missing the goal Of his
ambition when that goal appeared to
be surely within his grasp. Had he
possessed a higher degree Of moral
frmness and idealsm, he might read
lily have become president of the
United States at one of the most mo-
mentous periods in our national his.
tory.
mo one asks involuntarily whether
his religious training had anything 10
do with his lack of ability to face the
crisis. Clark, like Garfield was a
staunch disciple, yet candor compels
us to say that great in many ways as
Mr.. Clark was, his life without full
content Of Christian idealism. the lack
of which a crucial moment proved fatal
to the supreme ambition of his career.
David Lloyd George is still living
and his biography incomplete. He has
| acknowledged his Indebtedness to Al
exander Campbell. Nobody. whether
friend or foe. disputes the sagac.ty of
the Welsh statesman who never falls
except upon his feet Beyond any
question Lloyd George will take rank
as one of the supreme political lead
ers of his age. Whether his name will
be regarded as synonymous with the
highest type of moral ideaism is de-
| cidedly dubious"

Of course you want TO go tn camp.
Been looking forward to the camping
season all winter haven't you, thinking
of the hikes and swims. scout games,
sleeping out of doors rolled in your
blankets while the Pickering fire
throws fitful uncertain shadows on

thrill in every moment Of camp life
that you wouldn't miss for all you've
got. But with these little cheerful
thoughts haven't you been little wor-
ried-a little puzzled as to where the
moneys coming from? Camping costs
money. Eats and all the rest call for
cash. But 1t will cost you dollar a
day this year same as last That's
lot of money for a boy to fork out
these days, especially when he's not
sure where its coming from.
