Love" Means Many Things
To MANY People.
To tn. Editor. IN. ws,hinrtop Herald:

To the Editor. The wsshinFtop Herald:
A reader of your paper asks the
question: what Is Love-"
would like to submit the following
lines on the subject:
St. Paul. in his Epistle TO the
Corinthians. says: Though l speak
with the tongues of men and of
angels. and have not Love. am
as sounding brass. or tinkling
cymbal. And though I bestow my
gifts to feed the poor. and though
| give my body TO be burned. and
have not Love II profteth me moth
ing. And now abideth faith. hope,
love. these three: but the great
est Of these Is love"
David BslasOo. at function
given in his honor. addressing the
assemblaEe. said he would tell
which had required years OF his
life for him to learn-thst the
only thing that really matters is
Love"
Browning says that Love is the
energy of life"
For life with all it yields to joy
And hope and fear.
Is just our chance Of the prize
of learning Love
How Love might be, hath been
indeed. and is"
Henry Drummond. in his book
The Greatest Thing in the World"
sums up the spectrum OF love as
follows:
Pstience-''Love suffereth long"
Eindness-"And is kind"
Generosity-''Love envieth not"
Humility-'Love vaunteth not it,
self. is not pulled up"
Courtesy-"Doth not behave it,
self unseemIy."
Unselishness-''See not her
own"
Good Temper-"Is not easily pro-
voked."
Guilelessness 'Thinketh no
evil"
Sincerity-"Rejoice not in in
EQUITY. but rejoiceth in the truth"
Love is that eternal tribute of
the Creator, which has actuated
the motives Of all who have blszed
the trail in the path Of human pro-
gress.
1t was Love that gave solace TO
Socrates. as he sacrificed himself
on the altar OF freedom. in submit
ting to the deadly hemlock. when
he could have saved himself by
renouncing his message TO mankind
II was Love that gave comfort and
courage to the lowly Nszarene in
the darkest hours ever experienced
in the ea-ly career of any human
being.
And the irony Of il all is that
every crime on the calendar has
been committed in its name.
In the words OF John / 4.5-'Let
us not love in word, neither in
tongue: but in deed and truth. He
that loveth not knoweth not God,
for God is Love" L. c. NJ.

Flaw in Retirement Law.
o the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washinfton Herald:
One OF the purposes OF the re-
tirement law for government work
ers Is to prevent people from dying
on the Job. but the age limits have
been put at such high points that
il falls short OF accomplishing its
purpose in many cases; and the
amount allowed the retiring EN-
ployes is so insignificant that people
endeavor to work as long as they
possibly can. so that their depe ndents
may not be in want.
There Is no necessity for Uncle
Sam treating his retiring employees
in such a manner. when We take
into consideration the valuable serv-
ices they rendered and the short
time they will be on his hands be-
fore they bid him a final farewell
Lower the age limit and give them
enough to exist on for the short time
they are here among US. Ten years
service should be long enough 10

ton It's axis T. w. G.
storm center is the cente< of spiral counter
