An Interpretation of this brief note
shows that the band of Colonel Proc

parently took II upon itself to serenade
the commander in chief. This old rec
ord brings to light that Valley Forge,
with all that that name means of priva-
tions and suffering. was the setting
where was staged what was undoubt-
eddy the first recognition in any public
way of Washington's birthday.
French First to Celebrate.
There is still another record of those
Revolutionary times which touches us
perhaps most poignantly today. To the
French is credit due for the first pub
lie celebration of Washlngton's birth
day. Ii was in February, 1881, that
Comte de Rochambeau, with true
French spirit, declared a holiday for the
French troops who We're then located
in Connecticut Washington's birth
day fell that year on Sunday, so the
Frenche general specified that the fol-
lowing Monday be set aside for the
celebration of the birthday of his COM
mander, whom he so highly esteemed
1t was another of the many evil
1ences of the close ties between France
and America which existed in RevO-
lutionary times 1t was on that menu

foundation of our national holiday.

help, and he never attempted any
thing without first praying for the
Lords help. Mr.. j. 6. Holland, one
of the best critics on Abraham Lin
coin, made the following statement:
Lincoln was religious man. The
fact may be stated without any res
ervation-with only an explanation.
He believed in God and in His per-
sonal supervision of the affairs of
men. He believed himself under His
control and guidance" Further
proof that his devotional side of life
was very well developed may be
seen in his various speeches and es-
says. In his second inugural adj
dress you will find innumerable ref
erences to ed aal two direct quo
tation from the 3 bic.
Summing up al of these virtues
we have the making of that ideal
American citizen, Abraham Lincoln,
that remarkable man who proved to
be the martyr of his country, that
man who kept together our sovereign
nation when it was in danger of be-
ing torn to shreds. 1t is impossible
to forget what that great man did
for us and our country merely be-
cause of his love for his country
and mankind A fiftinu sun,p,nry of
Abraham Lincoln is this: there have
been many men as great, and others
as good but never do we find great
men as good as he.

The same man made up his mind
that he was going to be a lawyer.
He told his friends agai nof his aim,
and again they laughed and said
"You can't, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha." He
threw up his hands in despair and
said he guessed he couldn't.
A few days after he came up to
l.. H. s., his Alma Mater, and as he
sat in Study Hall still brooding over
his misfortunes, he looked up and
at the frint of the room he saw his
old school motto, you can of you
will" Then and there he made up his
mind he was going to be a lawyer
and he was going to write book.
He soon went off to law school
without confiding his decision to his
friends.
He finished school and hung out
his shingle. At first business was
very dull, and many times he thought
he would be given over to despair,

Soon the world began to realize
that he was good lawyer, and
clients flocked to his office, which
by this time he had moved to the
business section of the city.
One day his cold friends" came to
his office and congratulated him.
They reminded him of his books.
In his college days and in his fame
he had forgotten his book, but that
night he went home resolving to give

THE DATE OF
WASHINGTON'S
BIRTH
OLD records-what stories they can

nlD records-what stories they car
tell. Sometimes full of romance
sometimes startling in their disclosures
1t would seem that Washington
birthday, observed for so many year,
on February %, was celebration
founded securely on accurate historical
facts. Yet buried in the family Bible
of Washington's mother and written in
her own handwriting is an entry which
makes one pause with surprise. There
she has clearly recorded the astounding
statement that George Washington
was born on February II.
Certainly no one should know more
about this important event than Mrs
Washington.
There 1t is In black and white in
her own handwriting:
George Washington, son to Au-
gustine and Mary, his wife, was
bore We 1.-the of February, 1882,
about 10 In the morning, and was
baptised the Sd of April following.
Mr.. Beverley Whiting and Capt.
Christopher Brooks, godfathers,
and Mrs. Mildred Gregory, god
mother.
Family Bibles, especially in those
times, were the last word in accuracy,
so this statement must be accepted as
indisputable.
BY the latter part of the Sixteenth
century the calendar year had become
askew witt the astronomical year II
seemed important that reimbursement
be made and Pope Gregory XIII. after
careful consultation with the learned
men Of his time, decreed that In 1882
10 days should be dropped and ar
ranged what has since been called the
Gregorian calendar The mandate OF
the pope was followed that year by
Spain. Portugal, Italy and France. but
England would have none of il and
continued on the basis of the old cal
endar for another century and half.
Difference of Eleven Days.
BY 1852 in England the discrepancy
had mounted up to II days, and the
disadvantages of two systems of dates
was causing great annoyance, 1t was
necessary to date letters going from
England or her colonies to France with
the days Of both systems; for instance,
February 11-22. So at last to avoid all
this confusion England officially adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar and decreed
that II days be omitted in the year
1852 between September and Septem-
her IA
So for Washington, his birthday in
1853 and all succeeding years fell ON
February %.
But there is another record which
throws light on what was probably the
first public recognition of his birthday.
This time the record is in his own
handwriting. While commander In
chief of the Continental armies, with
all his other responsibilities and duties,
Washington found time to keep exact
records of all his expenses. These ex-
pense accounts were several years ago
made available by their transferal
from the Treasury department to the
library of congress where they We're
placed with the great collection of
Washingtons papers there.
In one of Washlngtons daily ex-
pense account books there is an entry.

COURAGE

Many people are disillusionized
as to the true meaning of courage.
They think to be a courageous per-
son. one must commit deed such as
the following: A man went out on
a battlefield and rescued an entrap-
ped comrade He did so with shots
raining in from the machines of the
enemy, thus risking his own life to
save that of his friend.
That was an example of courage,
and very fine example of GER
tain kind of courage. But there are
other kinds of courage Let us cite
another example to show this kind
of courage.
A man got the idea into his head
that he was going to write u book
He told his friends Of this decision
and they all laughed and said, "You
you write book, never! Ha. Ha
Ha, Ha," and he gave up the idea
