His Power Misunderstood
The nature OF Calvin Coolidge's
power in New England seems to be
widely misunderstood In the rest of
the country. After touring every
district In New England this writer
ventures confidently to say that
Calvin Coolidge is here esteemed not

resents what in former hard and
grim and frugal days New England
was. Coolidge is for New England
not merely New England Presi-
dent but sort Of local resurrection
OF itself. ss
Coolidge for New England means
the old fashioned, hard-grainsd
virtues-such as righteousness and
simplicity and thrift--to which the
eyes of New England turn back in
these days of easy personal behavior
and of complicated legislative public
reforms. 1t is not his public char

New England has a new future to
make, and Coolidge means for it
both the personal character and the
national political power which it is
hoped can make it. We have in this
country today two really changing
and politically dubious. regions. One
is the Upper Mississippi valley and
one Is New England. To the rowing

party problem next year is how to
make a ticket and d platform that

through suffering to service.
But, to the sober mind, the past is
but an earnest of the possible. There
is little room for idle graduation.
Modern philanthropy itself has invited
many criticisms. We are told with
much justice that it seldom makes
great sacrifices, is often ostentatious,
often injudicious, defeating her own
ends by a false humanity. Andwe're the
instrument not defective; there is call
enough for effort in the magnitude Of

but a handicap in a race of self adj

capital whose investments concern
themselves alone. This is a narrow
blighted thought. Such have entered
through these years into no higher
realm of hope and action, and at the
close they have but a finer incense TO

pursuit of place or fortune is most
laudable. 1t is the end in view that
gives character to man and to his
work. If place and fortune do sway
him and they are made the means of
wider service, they, themselves, be-
come holy things.
Such is the call to service, but min
gled in it is the voice of our highest
manhood. Here, as everywhere in
divine law, there is perfect hamony.
The good of the many is the good of
the one; selfishness, the direct curse
to self.
Our earliest idea is that of strength.
Acquisition seems greater than self
denial; and strife. than love. For a
time during childhood this is well, as
we are in the crysalis state. AS ore

growth; but alas for him to whom the
protecting she'll becomes a prison. It
must be shattered. To every strong
spirit there comes a time when it must
flee from the thraldom of self, must
rise into the realm of devotion. 1t is
the evolution of true greatness, the
passing from death unto life, and from
that moment conquest shrivels into
nothingness before the towering gran
deur of sacrifice, love and service.
Nor is service a matter of glad ret
respect alone. Its highest reward is

Education makes a man patriotic.
For example, when your intelligent
American citizen reads the history OF
his Republic and thinks of the homes
that have been desecrated, of the
blood that had been shed, of the lives
that have been laid down to secure
and to perpetuate freedom to the most
humble citizen, a feeling of love and
pride for his country swells up within
his bosom. If a man loves his coun-
try he will strive to build it up and
protect it. If a man build up and pro
tect his country, of necessity, he must
first build up and protect himself and
his home.
If the Public School does this for
your boy and for mine, all well and
good. If it does not, then, as an IN
s~titution of the State, it has failed.
We have met here today because OF
our education gained either in school
or out of school, it matters not which
because of love, because of a desire to
serve.
Let us then consider the law Of ser
vice, its peculiar claims upon culture,
its penalties and its rewards.
The world has even been SLOW to
recognize the beauty and the powers
of love. Ancient Paganism, bowling
first to the force of arm and then OF
brain. has enthroned its successive
ideals in warning Mars and intrlgu-
ing Jupiter. Humanity progressed,
indeed, beneath its sway. They fought
and built and sang. But s~elishness
was at its heart. Along the streets OF
cultured Athens and barabaric Baby
Ion alike, no hospitality or asylum ever
rose. That genius might philosophlse
at midnight feasts, the slaves OF
Greece persisted, uncounted in her
mine. The worth Of man, as man,
was unknown. individuals were lost
in the moving mass, and when they
fell the procession never paused. But
Paganism was spent, its MISSION
achieved, and at last heralded by the
o of Peace and Goodwill. The rev
elation of love was flashed upon the
world. Supplementing the Independent
of the luton, Christianity has invest
ed the individual with transcendent
worth. For centuries, the light grow
ing dim at times in unworthy keep
ing. has been gaining slowly in the
darkness. Hate has slain, but mercy
has soothed; cruel bigotry has been
relieved by heroic sacrifice. Catherine
