"A Prescription for Living
By THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. D, LII. D..
Bishop Of Washington

thou shouldst keep them from the evil. +"
He would have them love life and see
good days, but these alone were guar
anteed to them by safeguarding them
from evil influences and practices. No
greater injustice can be done to the
teaching of Christ than to think that He
gave no consideration to that which
constitutes the Joy and satisfaction Of
living. II am come that they might
have life and that they might have it
more abundantly" This was His af-
firmation, but the abundant life," the
life of satisfaction, in His conception
of 1t, was vitality related to wholesome
habits and ways Of living. The condi-
ton precedent to such satisfaction and
happiness is a philosophy that recog-
high precepts and principles Of life He
enunciated. Our So-called religious
faith or belief is not something that Is
solely designed to give US assurance of
an amending existence when once this
earthly life Of ours Is over. The proof
Of its value, as well as its virtue, re-
sides in the satisfaction and peace 1t
affords us in our pilgrimage here.
The above quoted text Is literally Q
prescription for wholesome, satisfying,
joyous living. Literally millions of men
value of 1t. Even those who have gone
to martyrdom for their faith have been
characterized by Q serenity and peace
Of mind that were altogether in
comparable. That which stood Edith
Cavell in stead on that tragic morning
when she faced firing squad was
something that the world, could not
give nor take away. She could literally
say with another, IT know whom
have believed and am persuaded that
he Is able to keep that which have
committed to him against that great
day"
There are some things that money
cannot buy and that neither science
nor human philosophy afford. There
Is a tranquility, q deep-seated love
of life that guarantees to us good days
and that comes to US alone from the
consciousness of adjusting our lives by
the teachings of Him whose whole min
istry was designed to enrich and en-
noble life here and now and to dissi.
pate the shadows that obscure and
darken the life that is to be.

Tert: "He that tDiH lope hfe and
see good days, let him refrain his
tongue from eDil and his lips that
they speak no Ouile."-I Peter, lilo.
To love life and to see good days is
the common quest Of all men the world
over. No matter what other passions
may rule the hearts of men, the pas
sion for life Is unquestionahly the most
dominant. Even those who are invalid
ed and afflicted with grave maladies cry
out DANGEROUSLY for life. The poet Is
right when he says,
81" IT'S life whereof our nerves are
scant,
More life and fuller that we want"
but life without good days becomes q
burden. All our effort and labor is the
search for some form Of satisfaction.
The acquisition of money itself Is but
the endeavor to secure to ourselves the
things we most covet. One does not
have to search widely, however. to dis
cover that all too frequently the &C
QUESTION of things and the satisfaction
OF desire give no guarantee to happiness,
nor do they insure to us good days. On
the other hand, superficial study OF
life discloSes the fact that there Is
abundant evidence on every hand that
there are men and women, whom we
mUCt Qbbyv 10 WHOm ATC OSAltCu UlC
So-called gifts of life and yet who have
within themselves such peace and con"
tentment that they experience salts
faction. ease and quiet Of mind.
No one undertakes all that the COM
f-rts and Injuries Of life AFFORD. On
the other hand, 1t Is unquestionably true
that we largely determine for ourselves
by our philosophy Of life. our conduct.
our religious habits. our happiness and
cur contentment. A friend Of mine
wrote me some years ago q sentence
that confirms this. He said, Some
day I will drift back and together we
will talk out our PHILOSOPHERS, for, after
all, ones life is ones philosophy" 1t
hardly seems reasonable that one can
really love life and see good days with
out having some fundamental concep-
ton as to the real meaning of life and
what constitutes good days. The Mas
ter Of Men repeatedly speaks OF life
and It's ideals. His was not the ascetic
point Of view. He prayed concerning
HIS disciples, Not that thou shouldst
take them out Of the world, but

crime problem is through country

crime problem Is through country
churches and country schools.
An examination of homicide statistics,
! DR.. Mclaughlin says, will show that
the cities with the highest rates are
centers of great agricultural areas into
, which the -priviledged country
people continuously are drifting and
where they md increasing difficulty in
adjusting themselves to the more COM
pick life.
The condition Of the country church,
as printed by speakers at one of the
round tables of the University Of Viz
einia's Institute Of Public Affairs, Is
pitiable. The congregations cannot
support the churches. AS a result,
they get the poorest sort of minist8rs-
II they get any at all. Moral educa.
ton falls to q low level and the result
ing character is inadequate TO make
adjustments to a changed environment.

been some truth In the statement be-
fore the city was transformed by mod
ern civilization into place Of sanitary
living, good schools and good churches.
But what Of the inspiration Of nature
In character building? The fact is. Of
course, that not many country children
are philosophers their fathers and
mothers either. for that matter.
There IL some evidence-very prob
ably exaggerated-which points to a
progressive organization Of the great
rural areas. Orthodox, conservative
churches with sane programs Of char
acter education give way to highly emo
tional cults. Schools fail TO keep pace
with the growing needs. The people
grow poorer and poorer schools and
churches result.
But there are powerful forces work
ing In the opposite direction, such as
the consolidation of rural schools and
increased attention to the plight OF the
country by the city churches, which
promise 10 conquer In the end.

A Pagan Countrywide.

There Is deep-rooted idea that
human character Is fostered In the
country and degenerates in the city
that the woods and hills are foster
mothers Of uprightness and tenement
houses and crowded streets the breeders
of vice and weakness.
This has been one Of those vague
cancellations which the popular mind
has converted into dogma without any
critical examination Of the facts. Or.

rural church work Of the Presbyterian
Church. expresses the somewhat hetero-
aox view that the place to attack the

The Nature of Government.

Il government by laws enacted by the
voice Of popular majorities antiquated,
based on an outworn conception of hui
man relations, and in need of funda-
mental alterations in the light of real
istic political philosophy?
This IL q strange question to come
from the University of Virginia, STEPPED
in the traditions of Thomas Jefferson.
Yet it is not due to an emotion charged
outpouring Of thinking radicals
with bags full Of patent nostrums.
Quite the contrary, it comes from the
lips Of members of the council Of the
American Political Science Association,
and is the result Of cold -blooded analy-
SIS Of present-day problems and dis
gust with popular catchwords.
1t involves the fundamental nature
Of law and the fundamental nature Of
authority. From the discussions arose
q doctrine characterized by DIR. Thomas
H. Reed of the University of Michigan
IS "the most revolutionary heard here
since the time Of Jefferson" Or. Reed
did not agree with the more far-reach-
ing Of the conclusions Of such men as
DR.. Walter j. Shepard, professor Of po-
litical science at Ohio State University,
and Prof. Robert X. GoOch Of the Uni
versity Of Virginia.
The political scientists would have .
government "of the people, by the peo-
pie, and for the people"
They would not have q government
"of the voters, by the voters, and for
the voters"
II one can catch the distinction be.
tween these two phrases, the contention
of the realistic thinkers becomes clear.
The delicate point involved. with all Its
far-reaching implications, was brought
out in an incident that comes close to
home by Or. Shepard.
Some years ago. DR.. Shepard said,
the practice of plucking dogwood In the
nearby countryside was very common
among the people of the District Of
Columbia. 1t was extcrminating this
white robed queen Of the springtime
roadsides. ..--..
This newspaper undertook cam
paign against the practice. highly
effective public sentiment was created.
The result-dogwood is protected.
There is no written law against the
practice. Yet the shrub is, protected. 1t
is safeguarded as adequately as If there
were O whole bookful Of statutes about
1t. In fact, DR.. Shepard thinks, the
protection Is far more adequate.
Under one system the dogwood Is
protected. Under another system it
would not have been protected, for q
law against plueking dogwood could not
be enforced.
The first system is that Of integra-
ton Of ideas. The other is that Of set

Uncle Sam Is taking an interest
! even in the little picturesque adorn-
| ments of daily life. as is evident by the
fact that he recently employed an ex,
pert, Thomas Quasi, to make q special
survey of the goldfish industry, and
| has published q book on the subject,
! so that every housewife who has .
bowl of goldfish In her home can now
have authoritative information regard
| ing the fancy varieties coupled with q
history Of the United States interest
In the little goldfish.
The goldfish industry had its incep-
| ton In 1878, when Rear Admiral Daniel
Amen, United States Navy, presented to
| now the Bureau of Fisheries, some gold
| fish that had been brought from Japan.
From this humble start the propagation
/ Of goldfish In the United States has
| developed into one of our foremost
| ish-farming industries.
Goldfish as we know them today have
been developed from two rootstocks,
both members OF the carp family. The
common goldfish closely resembles the
original wildfish. Red is the predomi-
nant color in the cultivated specimens.
| Among the other more fancy varieties
cultivated in this country are the Jap
anese Comet. which japanese author
| tiles claim did not originate In japan
ana which Is believed to be Of American
origin: the Nymph goldfish, fantail
goldfish, the least expensive Of the fancy
! goldfish bred In the United States;
Japanese fingertails, Chinese telescopes,
Chinese Moor telescopes, Chinese celes-
tials and the lion-headed goldfish.
During the season Of 1878 American
goldfish breeders produced nearly
| 25. 900 900 goldfish, having q value OF
| approximately 100000.
The greater percentage of goldfish to-
| day are handled through the 5 and 10
cent stores and by drug stores rs an
advertising feature. Imports Of gold
| fish into the United States last year
| amounted to about $4,000 fancy fish,
| having q wholesale value of approx
| mately $Sl 900, all of the imports COM
| ing from Japan. 1t has been estimated
| that S. per cent Of the imported Ash
| we're fantails, 40 per cent telescopes.

Even though Congress adjourns be-

only with regard to this matter, but on

The House District committee today
acQuiesced in a request by Chairman
Gibson of the subcommittee that they
be given until July next to file final
report on the Burlingame case and the
general police situation.
AT the meeting of the District COM
smittee today, Mr.. Gibson promised that
at the next meeting he would offer a
comprehensive bill for reorganization
of the Police Department and would
present certain recommendations on
other District affairs. He outlined some

for Leah, daughter of wealthy mer-
chant. is at once torment and an
ecstasy.
The news that she has been be-
trothed by contract to another man
kills Channon. His spirit (the dybbuk)
enters her body, precluding her mar
riage with the selected bridegroom. 1t
is only after an intense struggle by the
rabbis that the dybbuk is forced from
the girls consciousness. but the cast
ing out of this spirit costs Leah's life;
her soul leaves with the dybbuk.

TO "exhume and remove all bodies that were
Identified, to such cemeteries as the friends and
relatives OF the dead should request" This was
done about 1881, though nearly 1000 of the
10000 or more bodies still remained buried and

entire block was turned over to the depth of
SIX feet and every vestige of human remains
removed to either Graceland or Rock Creek
