is, Can there be anything of abiding
satisfaction or permanence in what
We do unless we recognize that be-
hind all human institutions and en-
terprises there resides the Supreme
Master Builder? The evidences Of His
genius and power are on every hand.
The uplifted hills and lofty noun
tains are SO mighty and appealing
that the ancient Hebrew poet cries
out, Il will lift up mine eyes unto the
hills from whence cometh my help
We do not underrate or undervalue
mans genius or his capacity to come
back" after misfortune and disaster
There's something wonderfully ap-
pealing about this demonstration of
his skill and determinations; it's splen-
did, But can any thoughtful person
who has lived through these recent
momentous years feel that a house
a social or industrial order, or a ma
tion. can be built with lasting satis-
faction and security where it takes
no reckoning of God and His will in
all its undertakings and plannings?
When God Is Left Ont.
The disciples saw the far-famed
temple in all its strength and beauty
and with a sense of it's durability said
to the Master. Behold what manner
het"." to which with far-seeing vision
He replied: "Seest thou these great
br.'iings; there shall not be left one
stone upon another that shall not be
thrown down." He saw the folly and
weakness of human enterprise where
God was left out of the scheme.
There are those today who with
show of power and cleverness of
planning would build with no con-
scious need of God: they rule Him
out of their schemes and purposes:
they defy the state or the human ele-
ment, they look to the rise of the
super-man. Their schemes may be of
such magnitude as to be bewildering.
their plans so vast as to stagger the
imagination, but the long record of
history diScloSeS the folly and the
fallacy of their undertakings. A ma
tion. a social. or industrial order, en-
dures and proves efficient just in pro-
portion to the God element that is in
corporated in its plans and schemes.
Utopian plans with all their checks
and balances, their equitable designs
and purposes have Signally failed.
Man is so constituted that he is gov
erned in his thoughts and habits by
something more than imposed
laws and regulations. The wise mas
ter-builder of our age. whether in
the state or in the social and indus
trial scheme of things, is the one who
reckons with the universal religious
instinct in man. The French reNolu-
ton sought to Danish God and reli-
gious customs, but the wise Robespierre
declared that If they banished God
today, the people would invent a new
God tomorrow We need seriously
and solemnly to heed the ancient
uord- "Except the Lord build the

two afterward were sanctioned by
Congress.
But Immediately following Lin
coins administration the powers OF
the President were curbed. Andrew
Johnson'S vetoeS were repeatedly
overridden by Congress. Congress
submitted the fourteenth amendment
to the States against the Presidents
expressed disapproval, put through
it's own plan of reconstruction of the
South. and sought to take away from
the President all power the Consti-
tuition would allow. Congress re-
mained in session continuously to
watch the Executive, and finally the
House impeached and the Senate tried
him.
No President stands out conspicu-
ously as a leader, and none exercised
an exceptional influence over Con-
gress from Lincoln until Mckinley.
In this connection it is interesting to
quote from Lord Bryce, who came to
this country in 1889 to study the
United States Government and to de-
scribe it Shrewdly as he found 1t. He
said that the President himself, al
though he has been voted into office
by his party, is not necessarily Its
leader, nor even among Its most
prominent leaders. Hence he does
not sway the councils and guide the
policy of those members of Congress
who belong to his own side. The ex-
preston of his wishes, conveyed in a
message, has not necessarily any
more effect on Congress than an ar
ticle in prominent party newspaper.
No duty lies on Congress to take up
a subject to which he has called at
tention as needing legislation, and, in
fact the suggestions which he makes,
year after year, are usually neglected,
even when his party has majority
in both houses, or when the subject
lies outside party lines
Power Returns with War.
It was a war again which served
to- bring back the powers of the Ex-
ecutive Writing two years after
the war with Spain, Woodrow Wilson
said "the war with Spain again
changed the balance of parts. For
eign questions became leading ques-
tions again, as they had been in the
first days of government, and in them
the President was of necessity leader.
Our new place in the affairs Of the
world has since that year of trans
formation kept him at the front of
our government where our own
thoughts and the attention of men
everywhere are centered upon him."
About this time there began a
change also in the country's attitude
toward the duties of an executive. 1t
was argued that leadership in the
business Of government belongs to
the Executive, and not to the legisla-
tive arm of the government. And
with the accession of Theodore Roose-
welt to the presidency came the con-
ception of the President as the leader
of his party. Roosevelt, born leader

courageous and determined, eager to
make his will prevail and glad to ac-
rept the utmost of responsibility was
convinced that leadership should rest
with the Executive and not with the
legislative branch of the government.
Roosevelt subscribed to the theories
of Jackson and Lincoln. He believed
tnat the Constitution contains gen
eral grant of executive power which
is circumscribed only in so far as the
Constitution strictly limits 1t. He be-
leved that his power was unlimited
when the Constitution did not spe-
officially limit it. He explains his
theory in his autobiography, when he
recalls the steps he took to avert for
eign intervention in Santo Domingo
steps taken without consultation with
Congress. THE Constitution did not
explicitly give me the power to bring
about the necessary agreement with
Santo Domingo" he wrote. But the
Constitution did not forbid my doing
what 1 did. l put the agreement into
effect and I continued its execution
for two years before the Senate acted.
And I would have continued 1t until
the end of my term, If necessary,
without any action by Congress"
Had Popular Backing.
Roosevelts methods were DspIiar.
The folks enjoyed watching him WELD
the big stick. 1t is human nature to
love a fight. and the country always
sits forward, ready to applaud the
winner when the President goes to
bat. But while Roosevelt may have
been the popular President, his be-
liefs concerning the powers of the
Executive did not accord with thosS
of his successor, Mr.. Taft. -
Perhaps it was his judicial mind
and. his knowledge of constitutional
Interpretation which nodded Mr..
Taft's views on the subject. He
wrote: The true view of the execu-
tive functions is, as l conceive 1t, that
the President con exercise no power
which cannot be fairly and reasonably
traced to some specific grant of
power or justly implied and included
within such express grant as proper
and necessary to it's exercise. Such
specific grant must be either in the
Federal Constitution or in an act of
Congress passed in pursuance thereof
There is no underlined residium of.
power that he can exercise because it
seems to him to be in the public in
terest. My judgment is that
the view ascribing an underlined resid-
ium of power to the President is an
unsafe doctrine, and that 1t might
lead under emergencies to results of
an arbitrary character. doing irre-.
mediable injustice to private rights"
And so there comes the picture OF
the harrassed President. If he wields
the big stick and wins, he incurs
the jealousy of Congress and the ac-f
claim of the multitude. If he abides
strictly by the confines of his office
as laid down in the Constitution, he
lays himself open to criticism as an
impotent weakling, overridden by
Congress.
But such are the burdens of O.
President.

THE MASTER BUILDERS

Cathedral, London. 1t is the
answer to the query concern
Ing the genius Of him who designed
St. Paurs, the great architect. Sir
christopher Wren. Here was a mas
ter builder indeed, and his genius is
writ large over the great buildlns
his brain conceived.
There is something splendid and
fascinating about those master build
ers in whose lofty Imagination the
great buildings of the world took
shape. Before stone was laid they
could envision the completed struc-
ture. Architecture is one of the real
ly great arts and through it man has
lent beauty and permanence to his
dreams and ambitions. Indeed, the
worlds great buildings largely in
dicate the upward progress and de-
, Yelopment of the race. OF the En-
peror Augustus it was said that ne
found Rome brick and left it marble"
Napoleon sought to give glory and
permanence to his extraordinary
reign by making Paris architectural
city in the world, but even this queen
of cities came at length to lose its
place of supremacy as the most DOM
inant capital in Europe, and it's mas
ter-builder died. "unwept. unhonored
and unsung''-an exile on an island
of the great sea.
Age of Great Works.
No age has witnessed such stupen-
dous works of mans creation as the
present On every hand we see
growth and development along every
line in which man exercises his
genius and skill. There seems to be
no limit to human achievement.
Strength, beauty and durability
these are the supreme requisites. Into
everything that he does, whether it's
building a house, or a corporation
or a state. man seeks for that that
shall endure. A world war disclosed
not only the passions of men. their
powers and their skill, but their ca
pacity to destroy with the same read
mess that they had builded. Beau
tiful cities became heaps of shat
tered buildings and the most grace
full of churches felt the blasting and
destroying touch of mans anger
The whole world today is largely
occupied with reconstruction work.
We recently saw villages and cities in
France and Belgium that had risen,
Phoenix like, from their ruins and
ashes. 1t is all fine and discloses
mans capacity to overcome and tri-
umph over disaster. Doubtless he
will build better and stronger than
ever. Repeatedly in the course OF
history these periods of destruction
and reconstruction have occurred.
Our towns and cities are greater to-
day than they have ever been and
there are more of them.
