4 GOOD FIRST LOB

President-Elect Hoovers decision to visit South
America between now and inauguration time, is hailed
as a stroke of craftsmanship, and it certainly is.
More than that, it is mighty good business from
commercial standpoint.
The United States long has neglected South Amer
lea as market and not until the World War closed
most of Europe to anything done toward deve
oplng the nations south of U.s. Then we did manage
to awake and set to work. The good work accom-
plshed then not allowed to die, thanks to this
Mr. Hoover, who as Secretary of Commerce, has been
instrumental during the past eight years in greatly
stimulating our South American trade.
But the trip would not be worth while if it
merely to be dollar chasing The larger South Amer
lean republics have times displayed hostility to the
United States this feeling being based entirely mis-
understanding their part and what might be called
snobbishness We did not ridicule the South
American republics, but too often the American idea
has been to consider them light opera countries full
of revolutions and romance instead of world powers
the same ourselves.
Hoovers visit is bound to do much to create more
friendly relations between the southern republics and
the United States. If it does that business develop
ment certain to follow. We sending the best
have in the country to South America. True he is
not officially connected with the government at pres
ent but he represents the choice of twenty million
Americans and before long will be the chief executive of
one hundred and twenty millions.
AS an Ambassador of good will" Herbert Hoover
should be as successful as he presidential
didate and there is doubt he will fully measure up
to the original Ambassador of good WILL Colonel
Lindbergh. 1t is too bad he cannot take Indy and
Will Rogers with him, but then we cannot spare all
our good men at one time.

A PRAYER-HYMN


DR.. Campbell Morgan read to his congrega
ton in London few Sundays ago the following
composed by a nineteen-year-olt
kitchen maid:
Lord of all pots and pans and things, since
I've no time to be
A saint by doing lovely things, or watching
late with Thee,
Or dreaming in the dawnlight, storming
Heavens gates,
Make me a saint by getting meals and
washing up the plates.
Although l must have Martha's hands,
l have Mary mind,
And when black the boots and shoes, Thy
sandals, Lord, find
think of how they trod the earth, what
time l scrub the floor
Accept this meditation, Lord, haven't time
for more.
Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, and
light it with Thy peace;
Forgive me all my worrying, and make all
grumbling cease.
Thou who didst love to give men food, in
or by the sea,
Accept this service that dol do it unto
Thee.
