triot he refused to use the results Of
that victory for his own benefit, but
bestowed them all on his fellow coun-
trymen. AS a wise statesman, gath
ering around him the best talent Of
his, time, he created the American
Republic. All the increasing years
only reveal to US how universally
great he was. If to set a mark up
on the minds of men which changes
the whole course of human events is
teaching, then Washington ranks as
a prince of teachers.
The world is not the same as that
into which he was born on that Feb
ruary day in 1882. 1t is better
world. The stately march of civiliza-
tion which has since advanced so far,
has proceeded in course which he
marked out. The imposing edifice of
human progress which has since been
raised so high rests to large extent
upon the foundations which he
wrought To those who wish more
civilization and more progress there
must be a continuing determination
to hold to that course and to main
tain those foundations. IF any doubt
what benefit these have been, they
have but to compare the present
state of America especially, or even
of the rest of the world with what
it was when Washington was born.
History seems to indicate that he
led and directed a transformation
that was growing with an increasing
strength over western civilization.
The fires of the Middle Ages had
burned out. The reaction from the
days of Cromwell had run its course
in England. The glory of the old
regime in France was declining. The
power of Spain was shifting to other
hands. But while the old was pass
ing the new had not yet begun. Ma :
terially and spiritually, things were
at a low ebb in the Old World It
has been described as a time when
poetry sank into dull prose; wnen
philosophy rarely scared above the
material or the purely logical; when
the only earnestness existing took
the direction of greed or self-indul-
gence; when the public service was
corrupt; when public morals were Ii
centious and when common language
was profane."

Not since the search for Pat Grove,

decades ago, or the hunt for Fred

years ago, has such a man hunt oc-

week. Even the excitement prevailing
during the race riots here in 1919,
when a nesro was lynched and sew

tended to dampen the determination
of the delegates to deal with this
situation, without gloves and to put

record Of what. it thinks of the
matter.
For two hours late yesterday
afternoon the convention listened
to some of its most vigorously mill
tant leaders attack the action of

The climax of this session came
when James Myers, field secretary
of the Federation of Churches of
Christ in America. publicly re-
1undiated, on behalf Of his organiza-
zion, the closing of Detroit churches
TO labor. Myers then announced
that he had arranged with the
Rev. II. c., Atkin. pastor of the
Rirst Congregational Church, for
R.-aEnass meeting in that edifice
Sunday afternoon under the
auspices of the Federation of
Churches. He invited President
William Green to address the meet

he had declined Myers invitation.
He gave no reason for this declina-
tton, but reiterated his statement

their own conclusions.
The church controversy was
brought to the floor of the conyen-
ton under suspension of the rules
as special order of business by

this pair came Dexter Cummings of
