Victorious Peace

In inviting Capt. Charles Lindbergh to come
home from Europe the guest of the United
States on a warship President Coolidge has grace
fully and truly represented the unanimous sentiment
of the people toward the youthful hero of the air.
The Indianapolis Times and other Scrpps How
ard newspapers gratifed that Mr.. Coolidge re-
sponded to their suggestion promptly and enthu-
siastically. There is relation to in this par
tcular of warship, but if the particular of
a navy is to promote peace and to guard against
then it is eminently fitting that a battleship
play its part in a great international event which
has made the world of peaceful mind and in
which an American boy permitted to play the
leading part
When that United States vessel enters a French
port, with flags gayly flying, it will be welcomed as
friend of the French people, coming to their shores
to receive from their arms the boy they loved at
first sight.
And when that vessel leaves amid the loving
paudits of the noble people it will bring back to
our shores, along with its precious passenger, that
intangible, invisible, spiritual something that man
can not but feel to the depths of his soul
the fraternal love of human kind.
God speed the American warshp on it's mission
of peace!

God, and the Bow

The pages of history are crowded with thrilling
stories of the heroic deeds of warriors fighters
killers who marched to fame the dead bodies Of
other sons of God whom they had killed in their
vain and wicked strife for earthly glory.
When conquering Caesar marched through the
streets of Rome dragging after him in chains his
conquered victims, triumphant applause from exult
ant Romans-sweet music for the kler-rang in his
eager ears, but there weeping and wailing of
agonized widows and fatherless children in Gaul
In every war the Boosting cheers of victors and
the anguished of the vanquished made Earring
discord in the ears Of God as they mounted to His
throne
And all the way down the bloody road of time to
the World War this mad medley of human strife has
gone on with seemingly endless repetition.
Its elimination when the pleading of
Christian peoples at war-each demanding in the
name of Christ that God lend his aid that the one
might more successfully kill the other-went up to
the Supreme Ruler of the Universe
That war witnessed fighting in the air. Heroic
souls in both of the contendng forces flew into the
sky like birds of prey kill or be killed-and their
earthly fame was measured by the number of their
brothers killed.
Thank God, that's over.
On a day in May, 1927, an airship mounted to
the sky from the Eastern shore Of the American con-
einene' us Sole occupant was boy-by accident of
birth an American citizen-but who like every other
American citizen, came through descent from the
loins of the old world And he started eastward
headed for the Europe of his ancestors
AS he disappeared into the mist and fog that
hung over the sea, in every spot the earth where
the news could reach by wire or wireless the hearts
OF the sons and daughters of men were attuned in
sweet harmony of hope.
The of God were as one family
During the next night when this intrepid soul
was wnging its flight across the pitiless sea. far
beyond the sight ken of men some fifty thousand
people we're gathered together in baseball park

Our New Trust

Colonel Stimson reports that the
Nicarasuans laid down their arms
because of faith in the United
states to guarantee them a fair
election next year.
This represents sublime trust on
their part and definite commitment

1t becomes our imperative duty to
see that the election is held next
year; to see that it is honest and to
see that the result is obeyed.
