EVERYDAY RELIGION
By RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN. D. D.,
Bishop Of Washington

contentment declared that his Sc
curity lay in making his religious
conviction and habit of life primary
thing, Seek ye first the Kingdom Of
| God and His righteousness and all
| these things shall be added unto
you," was His dictum.
Religion and Every Day Life.
We have come to regard our re-
ligiouS faith as something apart from
and unrelated to the common and So
called practical things of our life. AS
matter of fact we segregate IT from
hose interests that we regard as in
dispensable and that have to do with
our daily thought and habit. To most
of us our religion takes the form Of
weekly indulgence. and that brief:
or an occasional devotional practice.
We do not relate our religion to the
so-called real things of our life. What
we are all yearning for is satisfac-
tion in one form or another. Those
of us who are mature have tried many
ways of securing it and diSappoint-
ment has followed hard upon disap-
pointment. Who would venture to
maintain that mere prosperity guar
antees satisfaction? Who would be so
superficial as to say that intellectual
enrichment brings permanent peace
and the satisfaction of the deeper as
pirations of the mind? We have tried
every nostrum and every cure all for
our individual and social maladies,
but up to the present time We have
failed to heal them through any ethi-
cal or social system We have invented.
Col. Henry Watterson the great jour
naliSt and wide observer, said toward
the close of his eventful life that the
| only thing that could stabilize our
civilization and give it the sense of
security was a revival of faith in the
sovereignty and power of Jesus
Christ.
Even the church itself at times sig
nally fails, because it places too light
an emphasis upon the relation that a
vital faith bears to the common and
practical things of our daily life. NO
Eden of bliss that fulflls every phys
ical demand can long serve to satisfy
the deeper and finer yearnings of the
human heart. A brilliant noVellst
writes his book on THE Great Hun
ger" and in it confirms the statement
of the ancient prophet and seeks to
prove that labor however adequate
it's rewards, does not bring SatiStac-
tion.
1t was only when his principal char
acter had brought himself into har-
mony with what he believed to be the
will and purpose of God that he ex-
perienced within himself that tran
quillity and peace that pass under
standing To spend and be spent and
to find at length that there is nothing
of real worth to show for it; TO labor
and accumulate and find at length
that there is nothing of abiding salts
faction in it all, is the story of too
many lives. To grow and develop
with the consciousness that all life
has a purpose, all labor reward, and
that life itself may contribute to the
glory of God and the enrichment of
man, this is to gain sense o. salts
faction, and to experience a tranquil
lity of mind that neither misfortune
nor bitter disappointment can ever

Business of World

What do you want to know about
the worlds business. Uncle Sam has
sent experts in certain lines to all the
trade centers of the world to get most
reliable information, and has his own
agents collecting, assembling and di-
gesting essential facts about all lines Of
business. After conferences with leaders
in all lines of industry and further sug-
gestions from business men and COM
mercial analysts generally, this COM
prchenSive economic Information on
domestic and foreign business is to be
put out in book form by Secretary
Hoover of the Department of Commerce.
This handbook on world trade has
been prepared in response to the de-
mand of American business men,
bankers, economists and the trade
press for an authoritative annual ref
erence work upon economic progress
throughout the world from the point
of view of American industry and
commerce.
1t reviews the broad economic cur
rents developed during the year, and
at the some time it aims at the sys-
tematic consolidation of statistics as
to production distributionsprices and
markets for American commodities
over long terms of years.
This is destined to be a companion
volume of the Statistical Abstract,
also published by the Department of
Commerce.
American business men will thus
have ready to hand mass of infor-
nation which previously was obtain
able only from foreign publications.

Rising Flood of Foreign Security Offerings

know nothing. However. there are
some other rules which may be moro
tangible.
one good test of foreign offer
ing is whether or not it represents
an issue in which English banks are
participating. If it does, the chances
are that it is sound investment.
me English bankers have far more
experience than us in handling for
elgn loans, and they are much less
likely to make mistakes.
another good rule is to note care
fully the character of the security
which is the basis for a foreign
loan. If 1t is an Industrial commod-
ity such as cotton, copper or steel,
which can be readily disposed of, the
loan is on a sound foundation.
Money lent on, the security of either
raw materials or finished artfc es is
borrowed on real values which can
readily be determined. In addition,
most credits given German industrial
concerns will be TO firms that arc
already doing business in the Amer
lean market, either as buyers OF raw
materials or exporters OF finished
goods. There Is little risk in this
kind of business, but one obstacle
which We have already experienced
IS the unwilIingness of German busl-
ness men to furnish complete rec
ords of past earnings. They have
not been accustomed to open their
books to outsiders, and they are
rather prone to suspect that back or
such requests is an attempt on the
part Of American rivals to learn the
details of their business.
Renl Estate Not Good.
"At the present time very large
number of Germans are trying to
obtain loans in America on the SC
curity of real estate, either city or
agricultural. This is seldom good Sc
curity. as the borrower wants TO
pre-war gold dollar valuations, and
he ignores both changed conditions
and the very heavy taxation which
viii be a necessary part of the
working out of the Dawes plan"
called Col. Ayres' attention to the
fact that in the recent wildcat furry
in German securities a number OF
plausible gentlemen worked off on
gullible American investors a large
amount of securities of the late unla-
mented German imperial government,
and l asked him if the date of a Ger
man issue would not have some bear
ing on its value.
Undoubtedly" he replied "Any
thing issued prior to the end of 1898
is of doubtful value and nobody
should look twice at any bond or
other security of the empire. Another
good general rule is to be suspicious
of anything offering too large a re-
turn. Big returns mean big risks
The safest investments are short
term ones that promise a moderate
return"
What is your opinion of the gen
eral outlook as far as Europe is con-
cerned?"
brighter than II has been for 4.
long time. We are not going to see
any miracle in the form of a sudden
flood of prosperity, but conditions are
steadily improving, and ! know no
reason why they should not continue
to do so.'

case than Germany has in any lost
province The fact that we were
enormously useful to our European
associates in the war, that they prob
ably could not have had victory
without us. does not entitle us years
afterward, because of a change in
our own domestic politics, to under
take a remaking of the frontiers OF
Europe.
Aims at Chaos.
But that is exactly what the La
Toilette platform does aim at. If 1t
is an honest proposal and not mere
device to catch German merlcan
votes, and for one accept it as
honest. The idea of the United States
playing the schoolmaster to the other
great powers of the world. calling
them together and directing them to
return what they have taken from
Germany contrary to our conceptions
of right and justice is not only pre-
posterous, but pernicious; it is not
alone calculated to get US into end
less trouble ourselves but so far pro-
noting peace it prolongs unrest.
Moreover, and the detail is i'm
portant, while this plank in the
progressive platform has attracted
relatively little attention in this
country it has already provoked COM
ment abroad, and would inevitably
lead to some action in case Senator
La Toilette were elected. Then all
the nations which felt themselves
menaced by such a program would
instinctively draw together for COM
mon defense and we should be con-
fronted by some form of coalition
of European states to protect them
selves against a threatened American
aggression. Neither our threat nor
the association for defense would
threaten war, that is clear. but it
would certainly promote bad feeling
and weaken our position interna-
tionally by creating enemies who felt
themselves to be menaced by our
purposes, and giving them a common
basis for action.
If the foregoing seems an exag-
gerated statement let any American
fancy what would be the national
reaction If the secretary of state for
foreign affairs in the British Labor
cabinet that is, Ramsay Macdonald
himself, should address communication
to our Government urging that our
acquisition of Porto Rico and the
Philippines did grave injustice to the
Spanish. might become a cause OF
future war, was, as to the Philippines
at least, in total contradiction to the
armistice terms and that therefore,
Great Britain. in the interests OF
world peace and higher international
morality, invited US to a conference
for the purpose of bringing about the
restoration of these territories to
Spain.
That, after all, is what the pro-
gressives propose, a conference to
persuade Great Britain, Australia
New Zealand and Japan to consider
restitution to Germany Of certain
territories and moneys the progress
sive faction of the American people
do not believe they should keep.

for example. as the Library of Con-
gress and the office of the architect
Of the Capitol, and certain employees
OF the municipal government in the
District Of Columbia.
At present there are about 1900
annuitants on the pension role. The
aggregate deductions on a basis of
2 Y per cent of the compensation of
employees has heretofore amounted to
about $14,000.000 annually. AS a re-
suit of reclassification the deduction
for the current fiscal year will be con-
siderably in excess of that amount
and will aggregate probably 15,000,-
900 to $16.0OO.00o annually.
In addition to handling this an
nuity work an outstanding feature of
Mr.. Beach's expanding task is the
payment of claims for refunds in the
case of those who become separated
from the service before reaching the
retirement age. About $4,000 such
claims are handled annually.
Economy Law Object.
Now, while some stress has been
laid on Mr.. Beach's humanitarian
labors in behalf of the worn out per-
sonnel in this biggest workshop in
the world, the fact must not be lost
sight of that this law was primarily
passed IN tne interest OF reai econ
omy and efficiency in the public serv-
ice-to get Uncle Sans work done
better at less cost. And in keeping
that purpose in mind Mr.. Beach act
ually is saving money for the public
every year.
At the same time, his work each
day reveals many cases which appeal
to his sympathies. This is particu-
larly so in the case of persons COM
PEELED to retire on account of disabil-
ity
Evening star., 1924-10-26

Then. too. the amount Of annuity
provided under the present law seems
wholly inadequate to meet the neces-
stiles or the greater percentage of
employees who are retired either on
account of age or disability, and fire.
quently Mr.. Beach's heart is torn with
pity for those no longer able to
carry on" in civilian life. 1t is be-
cause of his personal observations in
such cases that he is supporting legis-
lation now pending to correct such a
condition
Oldest Annuitant l04.
The Oldest annuitant on the rolls
is reported to be about 104 years of
age. There is a case of one annuitant
who rendered continuous service to
the Federal Government for nearly 70
years. This employe retired in 1920
and is still living.
To improve the retirement act there
is pending in Congress the Stansfield-
Lehlbach bill. which provides for an
increase in annuity from a present
maximum of $72O to $1,000 per annum
1t also makes provision for reducing
the age of eligibility for retirement
in the case of those who have rem
dered 80 years of service. Under these
conditions certain groups of employees

ready retired.

La Toilette Cause Hurt.
Senator La F'ollett's cause, it seems.
has been injured by the inclusion in
his platform of the demand that Con
gress shall be the final arbiter of the
constitutionality of the laws enacted
by that body, and not the Supreme
Court, and the proposals that the
railroads shall be government owned
and operated. With those two fea-
lures of his platform left out, the
third party ticket probably would
have run much stronger throughout
the country. For while many people

So far the Western part of the coun-

doubtful states. The people are not
talking 1t. although the newspapers
are printing many columns about the
proceedings of the senatorial investi-

an investigation is to keep Senator
