REV. JONATHAN BROADWATER.

Jonathan Broadwater was born May
10, 1847, in Garrett county, Nd. Here
he grew to manhood and at the age
of twenty he went to Minnesota where
he worked for one year, returning to
Maryland at the end Of that time and
after year spent at his former home
at the age of % he again went west.
This time he purchased land, broke it
and started farming. He also worked
for other people who needed help and
in. this manner he kept on farming in
summer and teaching school in the
winter months until he was married.
The first term of school in the present
Prairie Queen (Minn.) school house
was taught by Mr.. Broadwater. He
also taught one year near New Ger
many, Garrett county. On April 16,
1871, he was united in marriage with
Miss Mary Shook, of Bristol, MINI.
To this union six children were born,
one of whom died in infancy. In the
spring of 1874 Mr.. Broadwater pur-
chased the old home place in Mime
sofa, known as the Nedro farm, where
he continued to reside until his death.
For many years he was pastor of the
Brethren church in Preston, MINI. He
was a faithful Christian and was re-
spected and honored by all who knew
him. Many sought his counsel. On
February "a, 1926, while on visit at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. B.
Pratt, he was stricken with paralysis
and on March 2 he passed into etern-
ity, at the age of 70 years, 9 months
and II days. Besides his wife five
children survive, namely: Mrs. L. B.

STILL THE BEST SELLER

According to the annual report of
the American Bible Society, more
copies of the Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments were sold in
1925 than at any other time in the lilo
years of the organizations history
Of the greatest and most influential
of all books there were sold in twelve
months 9,O69,120 copies in no less
than $50 languages.
One of the greatst services of the
Bible to mankind is often forgotten.
Missionaries, in order to make it avail
able in the dark spots of the earth,
have had to turn unwritten language
into written ones in order to do their
work as translators. Hence the steady
growth of the ''literary" speeches of
the world.
Then, too, as long as the Bible con-
tinues to be "the best seller of all"
there need be no fear of the serious
deterioration of the English language.

THE PRESIDENTS FATHER.

The late John c. Coolidge, whose
mortal remains were inferred in the
Vermont hills on last Saturday, helps
to explain Calvin Coolidge, the Presi-
dent. The son is the perfect produce
of the fathers character and training.
The old-fashioned New England set
tier had to win living from an un-
friendly country. 1t took bard work
and thrift to succeed. In that frugal
Vermont home there was no softness,
no indulgence. John Coolidge worked
hard himself. He brought up his son
to regard hard work as part of the
common lot.
The story of the penny that the ell
der Coolidge gave his young son back
in the campaign year of 1880 is sig
nifcant. Confronted late in the cam
paign by the appalling possibility OF
Democratic victory and hard times,
Colonel Coolidge explained to his son
that this was no time to squander
their resources and took the penny
back. On Garfeld's election the penny
was returned-but probably was not
spent.
His training in the ideas of his Yer
mont father brought Calvin Coolidge
his horror of waste, his estimate of
money in terms of human effort, his
passion for efficient government, his
belief in industry, that have so char
acterized his career in Washington.
John Coolidge lived the quiet life of
millions of other Americans. He did
his duty, he practiced the homely viz
tues that are at the basis of ciyiliza-
ton, he reared his son to meet respon-
sibilities. 1t happened that this whole
some home life gave the foundations
in character of a President of the
United States. But even without that
distinction the life of John Coolidge
contributed its share to the fabric of
spiritual qualities that we call Amer
lea.

out any change being anticipated by

The views of Mr.. Coolidge were
made known at q newspaper confer
ence.
Mr.. Sheffield who, it was explained,
had adopted a policy upon leaving
Mexico City Of declining 10 give in
terviews, did not speak but was pres
ent throughout the conference.
AS for the religious dispute it was
said that the Washington govern.
ment would deal with that as it would
with any other question that might
affect the rights of American citizens
in person or property: it would try
to protect the rights of the American
people
OF both the religious question and
the application of the oil and land
laws Of Mexico to Americans, it was
reiterated that the policy Of the
Washington government was to pro-
tect the rights of American citizens
in the enjoyment Of the personal pri-
vileges they are entitled to under in
ternational law, usage, custom and
treaties, and to protect their rights
in the ownership and use Of their
properties.
There have been no recent develop
ments in connection with other of
these questions, it was added. while
Mr.. Sheffield has made no recommen-
dations concerning any protests
touching the religious controversy.
The American government was said
to feel that there was a very good
condition of order in the southern
republic. There has been practically
no complaint about disorder now, it
was added
