Eetween Great Britain and the United | States never were better than at present; and he prayed to God that they would long continue in that happy condition.
 The premier drew burst of ap- plause when he said the nations of l the world had not yet discovered how | to be neighbors, but that the United States and Great Britain had gone far In that direction.
 Prepared to Stand Side by Side America and Great Britain ex- claimed the premier, want no alli- ance. We want no documents; we are in the position of two peoples who in spirit, by reason of those great moral and spiritual forces which are demeaned and narrowed by being written on paper. are prepared to stand side by side. not in political alliance but in human fellowship to help each other."
 evoked laughter by quoting Sir Henry Wotton, former ambassador to Italy, as saying .'an ambassador is an hon. est man who is sent abroad to lie for the good of his country"
 The premier declared the people of the United States and Great Britain always would put divine ends in front of material and narrow minded ad- vantage; and he referred to Mir. Kel- Iogg as a cousin who belonged to the English family.
 Mir. Kellogg spoke about 40 minutes reading from a typewriter manu- script. He laid stress on the need of arbitration as means for settling disputes between nations and the futil- ity of maintaining peace in Europe by the arbitrament of armies. The ambassadors speech was frequently punctuated by applause.
 Mir. Kellogg was followed by Sir Esme Howard, who said he hoped to follow in the footsteps of his old chief, Ambassador Bryce, who he referred to as the great master-builder of Anglo American goodwill.
 Messages of greeting from King George and from Chauncey M. Depew were read during the banquet.
 Kellogg's Address
 Tt is my judgment" Ambassador Kellogg said during his address, that one of the greatest services the United States and the British Empire can perform is to set an example of fair statesmanship in inter- national dealings, to maintain the sacredness and inyiolability of our treaties, and to deal with all nations large and small in a spirit of fairness and tolerance"

NEW AMBASSADOR
 GUEST OF PILGRIMS
Society Gives Dinner in London-' Macdonald Speaks of Wilson

London, Feb. 2.--Several hundred members of the Pilgrims society last night gave hearty welcome to F'ranl, B. Kellogg, the new United States am. bassador to the Court of St. James and Sir Esme Howard, who is to suc- ceed Sir Auckland Geddes, as British ambassador in Washington. The occa- sion was banquet which was fea- tured by the presence of the Prince of Wales, Ramsay Macdonald, the British prime minister, and the French, Belgian, Japanese and Italian ambassadors.
 But throughout the festive cere- monies there was apparent a peculiar note of sadness over the news that Woodrow Wilson probably was at deaths door. Mir. Macdonald voiced the feeling of the great gathering of distinguished Britons and Americans, as well as the sentiment of all Eng land, when. referring to Mir. Wilson, he said:
 Macdonald Speaks of Wilson
 This is moment when partizan- ship ana party allegiance sink into insignificance. The whole English na- tion tonight is standing with held breath waiting for further word of this great American. Our party diff ferences flare up like great beacon and die down like the flames of a great beacon. for what is great and inspiring in the actions of public men belongs not to parties. not to nations, but to the whole of humanity"
 Mir. Kellogg sat between the Prince of Wales and Lord Desborough. who presided. The prince divided his time between Mir. Macdonald and Mir. Kellogg, chatting in animated fashion with them between courses.
 Premier Toasts Kellogg
 Mir. Macdonald proposed the health of MT. Kellogg and introduced him as belonging to that category of ambas- sadors who always give joy to a for cign minister because they have nothing whatever to say to him. The premier declared that the relations

church as the pillar and ground OF the
truth. 1t venerates the ordinances be-
cause they were instituted by the Son
OF God. 1t reverses all that is associat-
ed with the name OF God.
Reverence should be sovereign not
only before the recognized shrines OF
religion. 1t should sway the scepter
over our spirits everywhere, Tor the
great universe itself is Gods own ca
thedral.
Before reverence can reign the heart
must be made right The publication
of the heart is Divine work. "A new
heart also will I give you, and new
spirit will l put within you, and !
will take away the stony heart out OF
our flesh, and l will give you an heart
OF flesh" By "an heart Of flesh" is
meant a sensitive heart, heart which
can be moved to shame, to repent
ance, to longing after God, a heart
which will cry God be merciful to
me a sinner"

Profanity is folly. How senseless 1t
is to make the angry utterance OF the
name of God a safety valve for tenn
per. or what is worse, to pepper and
salt ordinary, unimpasioned converse
ton with oaths and curses. Is not that
the emptiest and most stupid folly
conceivable?
Profanity has we'll been termed.
The fool among sins" The sinner
who takes Gods name in vain is
worse off than other offenders because
he has nothing to show for his delln-
quincy; he has sinned without motive
and gained absolutely nothing. Sanity
George Herbert PLEADS:
Take not His name, who made thy

Lust and wine plead pleasure; avarlce,

Profanity is vulgarity. The habituaI

(The News prints by request the
following article by Rev. Henry Al
ford Porter. which appeared recently
in the Christian Index)
The root idea here is reverence.
Nothing exalts like reverence, and
nothing debases like irreverence. Man
is never so great as when he kneels. "
True greatness begins and ends in
reverence.
Reverence may be called the mother
OF all the virtues In Goethe's Viii
helm Meister. the hero in his travels
encounters three wise men who are
discoursing on what element of char
acter transcends all others. The ED
est says there is one quality without
which everythings else is useless. VIII
helm eagerly asks what that quality
is. 1t is reverence, the old man re-
plies That brings to mind remark
that Andrew Jackson made to his
friend Francis Blair He said that
Aaron Burr had come within one
trait OF the most exalted greatness"
"What was that" asked his friend.
Reverence, sir, reverence replied
Jackson solemnly. And he added, 81
don't care how smart, or how highly
educated, or how widely experienced
a man may be in this worlds affairs;
unless he reverences something, and

self he will fall short somewhere =.
he will die as Burr died in New York,
friendess and alone"
Reverence ought to be the under
tone OF life God is greatly to be-
feared" not with the fright which an
infinite demon would arouse, but with
sentiments OF honor and worship
which the Heavenly Father should in
spire So sacred did the Jews regard
the revealed name OF God that they
never pronounced it, but substituted
another word only once each year,
and then by the high priest alone,
was the name Jehovah used.
In the Third Commandment God
builds a wall of protection around the
beautiful garden where reverence
grows, and he who breaks down the
wall and tramples the garden does so
at his peril, for the Lord will not
hold him guiltless that taketh His
name in vain.
This commandment is broken by
perjury. Perjury is swearing in the
name OF God to lie. The amount of
perjury in law courts and notarles
Offices is one OF the saddest features
Of American life today. We may well
be slow to believe that perjury, as is
sometimes alleged, is growing more
and more common. 1t is omlnouS,
however, that a great lawyer was
heard to say that no hotly contested
case is without its perjurer, some Tor
paw, some for spite, some for the ex
element of beating. or the fear Of be-
ing beaten. People come into the wit
ness box and take the oath with the
full intention OF making statements
the very opposite OF the truth. Know
ing that there is little chance OF their
being punished, they lie with cool
ness and dehberation enough to stag
ger one.

himself in this matter. Even that pol
ished old scamp, Lord Chesterfield,

to death that something bolE OF the
Holy Spirit in the soul which we call
reverence and which is mans cholc-
est and most precious possession.
There is no way in which men may
more readily make God seem myth

name lightly upon their lips
The word profane means, etymolog-
ically, far from the temple. NO one
puts himself at a greater distance from
religious influences and more invites
the giants OF doubt and unbehet to
make their abode with him than the
man of profane lips.
Bear in mind also the baneful intfu-
ence upon others. This vice spreads

smallpox are not so contagious You
cannot keep the poison to yourself.
The blighting breath OF profanity

and wickedness OF taking the name
Of the Lord thy God in vain.
For the Lord will not hold him
guiltless that taketh His name in
vain" There is a terrible reserve in
that warning. 1t does not threaten the
blasphemer with peStilence or light

The Lord will not hold him guilt

How much it signifies that the first

thing for which we are to pray. We
all have need to examine and train
ourselves to watch against irreverence.
