his distinction that q distinguished
English statesman has said Of him,
mo country can claim him, no age

TO the human race, his flame is eternity,
his residence creation" Every fresh
study Of his character raises him to
new level OF distinction and gives
him a place peculiarly his own. His
statesfiiaiilike utterances still constitute
the talismans by which we shape our
course. It were well to remind our
selves today Of one sentence that fell
from his gifted lips, Let us with eau
ton indulge the Snpposition that moral
ity can be maintained without religion"
To the mind OF Washington religion
was the sure foundation In which the
strength and integrity Of the Nation
had its security. No study Of the life
Of this great man, nor, indeed, Of those
early days when the Nation was in It's
birth throes, can fail to take cogrii1ance
Of the fact that consistently Believed
and practiced religious faith was held
as indispensable to the security Of the
Republic. we are possibly rnagnifying
unduly today Washington's dicturn

regarding with less consideration those
other statements that fell from his lips
that relate TO Christian faith and prae-
tice.
That America will do its full and
equitable share In helping TO solve world
problems has been repeatedly demon
strated; that she will stand before the
world as the representative Of moral
and spiritual ideals may at times be
questioned and challenged. The watch

The only one Of the three trades

that Of Braxton and Tate for Shires

that frequently visits aging ball players,
and Boss was, unable to NIL the bill.
Therefore, some sacrifice had to be

the point, before the club would con-
sent to lose Braxton, capable finisher
Of games, 1t had secured Crowder, a
more than capable starter and finiSher
of games. SO. the net result is that
while no pitcher figured in the Shires
trade save Braxton the Nationals had
already replaced him with q man who
will probably prove Of far greater worth.
