as the spiritual impetus of the church
and recommended more reading of the
Bible (which has something for every
body which we cannot get anywhere
else"
Dwelling on the fact that nothing
we do is small, she spoke of helping
some poor creature being the divinest
thing, perhaps, that we can be doing,
and the keynote of the talk was the
realization of the spirit of God in
everything; everything has Divine
purpose, although it can be abused.

former Governor Arthur M. Hyde,
long an active member of Trenton
Council No. 451. Both of these gen
tlemen continue to take an active
part in the work of their local and
grand councils.
Governor A. G. Sorlie of North Da-
kota is an enthusiastic member of
Grand Forks Council No. 64, and serV-
ed for six years as the secretary Of
that council. He takes an active part
in the work of his grand council. In
his road days Governor Sorlie was
one of the most successful shoe sales
men in the Northwest.
A wise old member of the supreme
council once declared that the day
would come when we should see a
member of the U. G. T. inaugurated
as President of the United States.
The chance seemed remote at that
time, but since so many OF our mem
bers are holding high Office and show
ing such statesmanlike qualities, the
prediction comes within the range of
great probability.
And now comes another U. G. T..
stepping into high public place. On
the first of January last Thomas J..
Terral, a working member OF Little
Rock Council No. 1877, was inaugu-
rated Governor of the State of Arkan-
sas, the happy result of a close con-
test last fall, when Tom TerraHs
salesmanship stood him in good stead.
1t is said of him by his friends that
he will make lot of new and inter
esting history as Governor.

to commercial travellers and whole

it would not be strange to find a pro-

to note members of this unique or
ganization who have and are enjoying
high political preferment

con. and before we knew it we were
aboard the three great passenger
planes.
II shall have to plead ignorance"
I said as 1 settled myself beside
Mr.. Sartoris in the first car to take

passenger planes in this country or

There are no others, Mrs. Pres

lish passenger service between New

that to your friends?"
mot always, my dear lady. In
fact, some people think 1 am quite
selfish. But these men saved my
life, one of them not only once, but
twice, and although l do not con-
slider my life any great prize, yet
it's the only one 1 have, and per-
haps 1 am better off than L would

We didn't talk very much-it was
too thrilling. Jack was not in the
ship with me. he went with the little
widow in another one, and the last
I saw of him he was helping her
into the great car very carefully.
Jack is always very susceptible, you
know.
