However. Washington will never be
SO modern that It will sacrifice all OF
its fine old color.
Strangely enough, the very wealth
that contributes to modern progress
also preserves, to measurable de-

of means.
With the convening of Congress just
around the corner, there is consider.

places, with n tendency toward pc

Washington has more question and
answer men than any other Ameri-
can city. The visitors in search of
information often fail to appreciate
the ludicrous questions they ask. Ere
uuently the answers are just as fool
ish. Tuesday morning touring
party engaged a young man as guide
around Washington. The visitors ar
rived in their own car and suggested
that the guide sit in front with the
driver.
After taking in the more important
public buildings one of the party re-
quested that they be shown the homes
of some of the Nations great. The
thoroughly competent guide then
pointed out the homes of the late
President Wilson, Chief Justice Taft.
Speaker Longworth. etc. But that
wasn't enough. One of the visitors
extracted a note book and began to
read off list of his own Who's
Who" most of whom were unknowns

Team Work.

Text: THAT ye stand fast in one
spirit, with one mind, striving together
for the faith of the gospel. Phil. i.27.
Striving together" is an athletic
term. The figure is that of an ath-
letic contest in which the contestants
strive together" for the mastery over
their opponents. The idea is that of
team play. team play being one of
the essentials to winning in the con-
test.
. A brilliant player of last season. on
Il we'll known college foot ball team.
is not on tho team this year. He
was one of the best of athletes, but he
was not team player. He made
trouble off the field; and on the field
he expected cooperation without Civ
ing it.
A metropolitan newspaper is offer
ing a handsome silver trophy to the
player on the high school teams of
it's city who at the end of the season
Is adjudged to have been Of the great
est value to his team. Team play Is
to figure very largely in determining
the player entitled to receive this
trophy.
AS in athletic contests, so in the
great game of life. For successful
achievement, or for the winning of
any cause. teamwork is a most i'm
portant factor.
1t is for teamwork in advancing
the kingdom of God in the world that
Paul pleads in the text. Gods king
dom will never come on earth until
those who are of His kingdom and
love it show a greater adaptability
for team work than they have hith-
erto.
J. Mason Knox's little poem Is to
the point
1t amt the guns nor armament.
Nor funds that they can pay.
But the close cooperation
That makes them win the day.
1t amt the individual.
Nor the army az a whole;
But the everlasting teamwork
OF every blOomin soul.
