on Mrs. Julius Y. Talmadge's ticket, has
record Of over 20 years Of service tc
the society. During that time she has
never missed a congress.
She wears the Croix de Guerre Of
France for fine work in support Of q
hospital near Paris during the Worlt
War. It is somewhat OF coincidence
that she and Mrs. Russell William

three years just preceding the present
administration.
An added interest will go with thu
Daughters when they make their bow
to the new First Lady on Thursday
afternoon. Mrs. Hoover is herself 9
Daughter, and the President is a Sor

Theodore Hoover, sister-in-law OF the
Chief Executive, Is State regent fol
California.
Many eyes will watch pretty Florence

again will act as Mrs. Brosseaus per.
sonal page. Even though the Coolidge:
are, presidentially speaking, in the past
tense, yet John Coolidges romance with
the daughter of Connecticut's Governor
keeps public interest centered on this
New England miss.
Among the waited-for moments at
each congress, the appearance Of the
tiny representatives of the Children OF
the American Revolution, always is a
high light. Dressed in silks and lace
edged panniers, they bring each year the
huge basket of flowers from their or
ganization to honor. the president gen.
cral of the mother society.
Mrs. Josiah Van Orsdel, national
president of the Children, since 1925
and under whose guidance 1000 new
members have been added, is a candi-
date in the present congress for reg

Mrs. Van Orsdel is native OF Ne
braska, but has long been a resident o.
the District and member OF the Dolly
Madison Chapter. She has held many
important committee positions.
1t is interesting that the opposing
candidate, Mrs. Frederick w. Matteson

step over the borderland into the

"In closing, quote to you from the

call to duty:

ference that seeks to bind England and
America In an effort to promote peace
and good will among all men and ma
tions.
We are asked to consider two verses
from Pauls EpiStle to the Colossians
that are full of the social gospel that
the Lord taught in his parable of the
Good Samaritan. As followers Of the
Christ they were urged by him to ex-
ercise a spirit of tender er-heartedness,
kindness, humblenesS, meekness, long
suffering, forbearing and forgiving one
another. II the world were practicing
today these principles-yeS, II the pro-
fessed Christians practiced them-the
new era of brotherhood and civiliza-
tion of peace and good will would soon
become o reality in the world. In the
economic and industrial world we would
find justice and equality, all realizing
that we have One above who will rem
der unto us according to that way we
have treated our fellow men.
James, who was the oldest brother
Of the Lord and the first pastor of the
Jerusalem Church, taught that every
Christian would demonstrate his faith
by his social activities. insisting that
faith without works was dead. He EN-
phasized the humanitarian part of the
gospel that called for generous giving
and sharing with one another of cloth
ing, food and the daily needs of life.
Our coming quarters study will help
us realize our debt "to the Greeks and
the barbarians: both to the wise and
to the unwise." These studies should
aid us to become sympathetic students
of the modern social, economic, national
and international problems from the
standpoint of the Lord Jesus and aid us
to contribute our part in their solution.
