ried that I'm almost beside myself
In the church of the Middle Ages
there arose a practice known as
"the examination of conscience"
1t supposedly consists Of a mental
review Of only the wrongdoing Of
the day. But 1t is q marvellous
thing when II is done simply as 1t
stands; as an examination Of con-
sciousness, a few quiet minutes Of
study of the emotions, motives and
acts of ones waking hours.
The good, the bad, the weak, the
strong. the clear and the confused
seconds pass in their turn. and the
result Is spiritual clarity OF
thought that makes the next day
much more a matter of deliberate
selection. much less one Of pell.

FOUR CLASSES OF WORRIES.
SO faced. at the end of the firing
day, all worries fall into four
classes:
/. The things one cannot possibly
help; like the little business matter
that went wrong in Bill's office. or
the broken leg of small nephew
in Alabama, or the sudden cold
snap;
2. The things that don't matter.
like the tone OF the car conductor
who wouldn't take perfectly good
transfer, or the flabby pie that one
served to unexpected guests, or the
extra Is cents on the gas bill;
3. The worries one should face

were Catholics. Oscar Strauss
told me that since his fathers
family was the only Jewish
one in a small Georgia town
that he himself had received
all his religious education in
a Baptist Sunday school.
Mr.. Roosevelt very rarely
discussed his religious views.
He was never posted concern
ing the religious beliefs of
his associates, but it is sig
nificant that his spirit and
temperament instinctively
chose churchmen who had
received a sturdy religious
training.
He was averse to discuss
ing religion, for he con-
: demned a narrow sectarian-
ism and feared that people
might forget to see him in his
own bare worth, and instead
look upon religion as IA cloak
used by him as a politicians S
subterfuge.
He was surprised when
President Eliot, at a dinner
meeting of his Washington
department chiefs, asked him,
"To what churches do you
belong?" He affirmed his
ignorance, but bluntly asked
all of them the question as
they sat at the table.
DR.. Talmadge, his Oyster
Bay rector, said that he al
ways invited his guests to
accompany him to church,
but if they preferred to re-
frain he excused himself and
came alone. At Washington
very frequently a visitor oc-
cupied his pew with him.
The Rev. DR.. j. M. Ludlow,
now retired, and living at
East Orange, N. j., was the
pastor of the st. Nicholas
Collegiate Dutch Reformed
Church, located at Forty
eighth street and Fifth ave-
nue., when Theodore was a
lad. I CLEANED the following

He was aroused by their

day head the police force.
afterwards he told me
that his resolution led him

came into my study and

Mr.. Roosevelt always entered
into the complete ritual service.

prayers and kneeling on the pew

The next morning after Quen-

Roosevelt to the little frame

Joined In the a. m. communion
service.
Only twelve people could kneel
at the little railing where the
sacred elements were dispensed.
Here he sought solace amidst his
sorrow.
He said to the Rev. DR.. Ingle-
hart, while they walked home
from church in Washington:
After a week of perplexing prob.
lens and in heated contests 1t

the house of the Lord and wor-

He found a recognizable strength
there, for he concluded: Il am
sure / get a wisdom not my own
and a superhuman strength" from
such services.
He was very certain that
subtle power was at work among
men through spiritual laws, and
he arraigns the "evolutionists"
who as "skeptical materialists
try to overthrow spiritual laws"
He affirmed further that "the
great exhorter or preacher, the
Billy Sunday or Phillips Brooks"

who can kindle "some flame of
the spirit. which mystics have
long known to be real and which
scientists now admit to be real"
Here is a recognition Of spirit
ual power which the orthodox
believes comes upon individuals
and groups in an inexplainable
way.
A NEW CHRISTIAN.
He believed, in short, that II
was practical to be a Christian,
and said: "The man who carries
Christianity into his everyday
work stands a better chance Of
making a success Of life than one
who does not"
When he was inaugurated as
Vice.President, the Harvard Re-
publican Club presented him with
a Bible appropriately inscribed.

He had very confident
"faith. He once wrote
"Thc claims of certain So
called scientific men as to

are as baseless as the fears
of certain sincerely religious
men on the same subject. "
He affirmed at another
time: whatever form OF

love of our fellow men two
of the prime articles in our
universal faith. "

DEEP REVERENCE.
He had a deep sense of rever-
ence. This led him to make an
unpopular and unsuccessful fight
to remove the phrase lin God
we trust" from money coins. He
affirmed that the term was carl
catured and repeated so jocu-
larly in relation to money that
the name of God was made cheap
and common. He felt that the
phrase should only be inscribed
in sacred places.
He had no sympathy with the
plea that church membership
was unnecessary. He not only

Roosevelt's favorite
Il hymn, and was the
only one used at his funeral
service. He could repeat
scores more from memory.
l saw him join the German
delegates attending the Meth
odist General Conference,
when the conference visited
him at Washington, in sing
ing from memory and in Ger
man Luther's battle hymn,
"Ein Fest Burg" Here are
a few lines:
"A mighty fortress In our God,
A bulWark neUer failing.
Orr helper He, amid the flood
OF mortal ills prevailing."
All his intimate friends
took his faith in God for
granted. They accepted his
vision, courage, optimism
and strenuous efforts for
righteousness as its fruits.
Mr.. Van Valkenburg, as
suring me of such conclu-
sions, added that "his in
domnitable spirit, which
overcame defeat, frail
body, and ignored sickness
itself during the latter days,
was only possible because it
was fed by the spirit of
God"
PROPHET IN WAR.
He accounted himself as
an authorized prophet during
the war, when he said: GAS
you know, my whole concern
at this time is practically the
concern that Amos and Micah
had for Jerusalem nearly
5000 years ago.
He despised an atheist and
put his contempt into the
phrase, "IThat dirty little
atheist" in referring to Tom
Paine. ...
God seemed as real and as
necessary to him as the shin
ing sun, and so His existence
and presence were never even
discussed. Messrs. Pinchot,
Riis and DR.. Nicholas Butler,
his two pastors and others
assured me that in the same
way he never questioned or
discussed the unique divinity
Of Jesus; he just accepted
Him. His most intimate
friends were devout believers
and churchmen. Pinchot,
Perkins and Lambert were
Presbyterians.
Wood and Lodge were
Episcopalians, Riis was orig
inally a Methodist, while
Beveridge, Van Valkenburg
and Loeb were both raised
in that church. Sewall was
raised a Congregationalist.

When YOU have done that, join a wire

connect it to the remaining binding post

way 10 do this is to tune into one Of

move the tuning coil over near the

position with the loose coupler until YOU
get maximum signals. When YOU have

step will be to vary the number Of
turns in the tuning coil until You get
