1t is remarkable how little con-

City noises. I'm their mechanical

system can readily tolerate, and
their continuance is partly respon-

Of modern life. They are not natural,

lessened. That ultimately some at
tention will perforce be paid to this

can be little question. 1t is, indeed,

EVERYDAY RELIGION

Bishop Of Washington.

participating in some rich and inspir-
ing religious service. The real worth OF
these awakened impulses and aspira-
tions is disclosed in the commoner
things OF our everyday life, and
there is no place in which they dis
close themselves more effectively
than within the sacred confines of
our own household. We believe 1t
costs more of effort to be a consist
ent Christian in the intimate con-
tacts of family life--in fine, to live
our religious convictions among those
who know us best-than in any other
sphere in which we move. On the
other hand, there is no place where
what we believe counts for more or
should have a wider influence than
in the home circle. Time was when
the primary obligation of the father
and mother had to do with the
religious training of their children.
Some OF US can remember when the
most sacred influences in our lives
were generated at the family altar.
or parents who thus highly regard
their responsibility. 1t can be truly
said, Their children rise up and call
them blessed" Many men and women
of mature years are what they >are
today because of the high moral and
fcnEtOuS character OF tne nome III
which they were reared.
When Jesus bade the man whom He
had healed to return to his home. He
was sending him to the one place in
which his new-found faith would find
Its largest field of usefulness. To
those who were nearest and dearest
to him in life he must reveal the
power that had redeemed his life.
Here where his responsibility was
greatest he must give his testimony.
He must, literally. be his Masters
messenger to his own household. More
and more it is becoming evident that
this method must be followed. Our
| faith is articulated almost exclusively
in our acts of corporate worship The
church building itself seems to be the
only place In which spiritual enthusi-
asm discloses itself. We relate our
religion altogether too much to places.
We confine 1t within restricted areas.
We talk over much today about the
| problem of youth. The problem of
youth will solve itself If those of us
who are supposed to lead the youth
will give more consistent witness to
| our religious beliefs in daily practice.
Our young people may be Indifferent
to much that the church has to give.
They can hardly resist that which
comes to them from parents who con-
sistently live and practice their re-
ligious faith. Young people and those
OF mature years alike are still suscep-
tible to the influence that proceeds
| from a consecrated, well balanced life.
After all, in the problems that vitally
concern our corporate life, we must
seek for their solution in the more
intimate sphere of the home. Our
problems are ever involved with our
domestic and social relationships. Go
home to thy. friends and tell them
what great things the Lord hath done
for thee" .sst+,t. 5

This sizable book, which for the

everywhere exact and authoritative
copies of the original manuscripts In
the Library of Congress, includes, of
course, the Declaration of Independ

The Library of Congress specialists
say that up to this time there has
been no such collection of important
governmental documents, which have
heretofore been widely scattered in
different manuscripts, books long out
of print, old newspapers and other
sources that have not been assembled
even in the Library of Congress.
Credit Is properly given in the
preface 10 ths valuable volume to
the m~n now in Congress who are
responsible for having the compilation
made in form that Is easily accessible
to students. by Fl. HI. B. Meyer, di.
rector of the legislative reference serv'
ice of the Library of Congress, as fol
lows:
THE publication of this collection Of
documents on the origin and develop
mert of our constitutional history is
due chiefly to the active interest
manifested by Representatives Robert
L. Bacon OF New York, r. Walton
Moore of Virginia and to Senators
George Wharton Pepper of Pennsyl-
vania and Simeon d. Fess of Ohio.
It's purpose is to present under one
cover the most significant documents
relative to the foundation OF the
American Federal States. The only
comparable collection of documents
published by the Government of the
United States is the Documentary
History of the Constitution, which
was brought out some 81 years ago. >
The compiiers also refer to assist
ance given them by DIR. James Brown
Scott and DIR. J. Franklin Jameson in
the performance of their task.
This is book that should be studied
particularly by the youth Of the land
who are to be the leaders in a few
years, and on whom dependence Is
placed to abide by and sustain the
ideas and ideals of the Founding
Fathers that have stood. the test of
time so wonderfully.

The Nicaraguan Policy.

President Coolidge looks askance
at any proposal which would make
Nicaragua a virtual dependency Of
the United States. The United
States Government, In other words,
Is willing to use it's good Offices to
help the Nicaraguans stabilize con-
ditions in their country, but believes
that the people of the Central Ameri-
can republic should stand on their
own feet. This is the wise attitude,
both for the Nicaraguans and for the
people of the United States.
President Diaz of Nicaragua, who
has the recognition of the United
States, is forwarding a tentative
draft of a treaty of alliance between
his country and the United States.
This proposed treaty, 1t Is under
stood, would place the duty of main
tanning peaceful conditions In Mica
ragua on the United States. With
his government constantly threatened
by revolutionists, who have received
surprising President Diaz should
look toward the United States for aid
In his predicament. f
The landing of United States Ma
rines and the concentration of war
vessels in the waters of Nicaragua
have been undertaken for one pur-
pose, the protection of the lives and
property of the many Americans in
that country, and the protection Of
European nationals there. The
United States has a big stake in
Nicaragua, the Interoceanic Canal
route. For a perpetual option on
that route this country paid Mica
rasua s3,ooo,0oo.
The policy of the United States
toward Central America has been
one of helpfulnsss and friendship.
Despite its critics, It's attitude has
never been one of aggression. But
there is no more reason why the
United States should neglect its
rights or the rights Of its citizens in
Nicaragua or other parts of Central
America than that 1t should neglect
American rights and their protection
in other nations. The United States
has dealt fairly always with it's
neighbors. II at times 1t has been
compelled to a show of force to
maintain it's rights, 1t has been for
the purpose Of obtaining justice and
not for aggrandizement.
Announcement from the White
House that the President is opposed
to the establishment of an American
protectorate in Nicaragua, or what
amounts to q protectorate, therefore,
does not come as surprise. 1t In
dicates, however, no weakening In
the determination of this Government
to give adequate protection to Amer
leans and other foreign nationals in
the Central American republic. II
such protection is an aid to peace In
that country, so much the better.

Heroes All.
The heroes never leave this world,
And even In land
Where battle hags are not unfurled
Respect they still command.
When sorrows in a home abound,
When pain brings cruel stress,
The heroes still will gather round
In patient willingness.
The love that cherishes friend
In great self-sacrihce,
The loyalty that does not end
In stipulating price,
Are with us now. and every day
We learn, with honest cheer,
Some bit Of news which bids us say
"Our heroes still are here!"
