not even mentioned in the gift presented by chiefs

The gift, a great silver bowl with four matching

DOG INTO REBECCA's HOME

One of President Hoovers dogs has been given the
home at the White House formerly occupied by Re-
beca, the Coolidge's pet raccoon.
Rebecca's home in the south grounds is still in
tact. 1t is a stout circular wire fence built around
a tree with a little house perched on one of the
trees lower branches.
The wire enclosure now is used as an exercise pen
for the Hoover CAME possessed of a nasty disposition.
While strolling around Washington one is likely
to encounter the highest government officials in the

INTO one who reads the Bible In.
~ diligently can mistake Its
teaching regarding the obligation
of every man to do his fair part In
maintaining the world order and
the general welfare.
Work, 1t Is true. Is represented
In the Genesis story as a part Of
the curse that anne upon man fol-
lowing the entrance of sin into the
world through disobedience: and
there should be no mistake con
corning the fact that work as many
people have known, and know. it is
a curse and not a blessing. The
slavish, grinding toll to which
masses of people have been sub
jected, formerly, for the most part,
as slaves. and latterly presumably
as free men but actually often as
the victims Of circumstances. can
moi be defended from any stand
point on the ground of the value or
dignity of work.
But work In Its proper place and
degree Is, none the less, a blessing
"a blessing because 1t Is a neces-
sity, and no sensible man can be
at peace with himself or with the
world who Is Sinking his fair
share of that which Is necessary
for the maintenance of human life.
Something for Nothing
The gambling spirit stands at the
very opposite from the principle of
honest and reasonable work. The
essence Of gambling Is the des : to
get something for nothing. and the
evil OF gambling should be recog.
nized as consisting as much In Its
spirit as In the actual deed. The
gambling spirit has always been
prevalent. but it is doubtful
whether it has ever had such
widespread development as in
modern times when the greatly in
creased and extended mechanism of
society has made it possible upon
so much larger a scale.
One of the difficulties with which
are confronted in actual life.
and with which the moralist also
has to contend. is the fact that the
element of chance enters into all
business and Industrial activities as
never before. The conditions of
life today are far removed from
that desirable situation. where
every man who is willing TO work
would be assured a reasonable re.
for his labor, and every use.
