FURNISHING
BALANCE

Thank God for the old folksI
They supply the balance 50 neces-
sary in not only this, but every day
and age.
Youth may rail at the older gen.
GRAFTON for being "old fogies" and
behind the times" But snowy
crowns bring a seasoning of rea-
soning which the snap judgment OF
youth lacks. Old age can bark
back and profit from years of ex-
perience, while youth, though
fired with enthusiasm and ambi-
ton, has yet to undergo the ordeal
of fire. This pep" in youth is,
of course, a component part of life,
but We also need that sageness and
maturity of opinion which comes
only with advanced years.
One generation, in effect. acts as
a check on the other, yet it cannot
be denied that youth has in the
past, does now and always must
depend on its elders to impart wis
dom and good advice. Especially
today. when youth is inclined to be
reckless, should the admonition
and guidance of tho old folks count
for the value that it really is.
Life is as the cycle of seasons
which needs its autumn as much
as it's spring. Spring is a beautiful
expression of budding life. But au.
tumn is none the whit less beauti-
ful--and necessary. Though youth,
like spring. gives us love and roses,
it remains for autumn to produce
the harvest. In other words, it is
age which gives the needed mellow
ness to the green sprouts of rash
youth.
Again we say, God bless the old
folks! The Pa thfinder,

SURVEY OF THE BOOK
of
JUDGES
SEVENTH BOOK IN OLD TESTAMENT


The book Of Judges derives it's name
from the fact that it relates the history
Of Israel during the ascendency of those
non-regal rulers who governed the Hebrews
from the time Of Joshua to Saul, and
whose function in time of peace consisted
largely in the administration of justice.
The book is compilation. It shows
undisputed proof of having been written
by various persons. 1t is a loosely con-
structed history and collection of import
ant facts and outstanding occurrences
during the long period in the days when
the Judges ruled in Israel.
The most spectacular of the Judges
was Samson. In the song of Deborah we
have the oldest bit of writing of any
length in the Scripture. The exultant
cry of Deborah-awake. awake, utter
song. and lead thy captivity captive-is
splendid example of early literature.
The declaration that 'the stars in their
courses fought against Sisera," has passed
into our current speech
The book of Judges is an invaluable
record of a crude age; of a time when
every man did that which was right in his
own eyes," and when there was no effec-
tive government.

MELONS REMARK

 CLOUDS SITUATION
PRACTICALLY EVERY GROUP HAS DRAWN SOME COMFORT FROM
 HIS STATEMENT

WASHINGTON, May 15. (P)-As a result of Secretary Melons statement that President Coolidge might accept the Presidential nomination from the Republican party if it came out of the deadlock convention situation has be- come clouded. Some leaders see the President as a point around which the Kansas City convention will re- volve and believe the diredtion in which the nomination will fall de- bends upon his action.
 Practically every group has drawn some comfort from Secretary Mellon's statement. Some say his ostensible endorsement of Hoover was given only to prevent some one hostile to the Coolidge administration from being nominated at the Republican convention Others say Melons ac- tion was fostered by the desire to play opposition within the Pennsylvania ranks.
 Meanwhile, a race for delegates proceeds with Governor Al Smith and Hoover still in the lead. There will be primaries in two states this week in which Hoover is expected to gain and Smith to obtain the majority of delegates.
 Senator Blease had organized oppo- sion to Smith in South Carolina. He will seek to have the convention ap' prove of a resolution calling for dele gates to refuse support to candidates favoring modification of prohibition laws.
