"A REJECTED OPPORTUNITY
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES f. FREEMAN, D. D, IL. D..
Bishop OF Washington.

ries of waiting expectation, the people
failed to see in Him the high approx
nation of their hopes. "He came unto
His own, and His own received Him
not"
This story, taken from an ancient
page, finds repetition in other periods
and under other conditions. Whether
it be the city, the nation or the indi-
vidual, the opportunity of recognizing
the supreme significance Of the Masters
life repeatedly presents itself with its
unique and irresistible appeal. Our own
generation does not differ from those
that have gone before. True, evidences
of worship in one form and another
present themselves on every hand. True,
the lowly Nazarene is coming to occupy
a place in the life of the world that is
wholly unique and incompatible. We
yield to Him the highest place as teacher
of the noblest system Of ethics the world
has ever known. The words that fell
from His lips occupy a large place In
the worlds literature. It has been said
that il the New Testament were wholly
lost to us its mighty story could be re-
covered in its entirety from the volumi-
nous quotations contained in literature.
Once again we enter upon Holy
week." Once again the dramatic and
tragic incidents that concern His con-
domination and crucif1xion will be re-
hearSed in every land and in every
tongue. Once again the great query
will go forth, SIS it nothing to you, al
We that pass by? The words Of the poet
come back to us:
THE cross on Golgotha
Will never save thy soul.
The cross in thine own heart alone
Will make the whole"
Again the opportunity for acceptance
or rejection is at hand. The waiting
Saviour OF mankind still pauSes at the
threshold of every life saying, Behold
stand at the door and knock" The
recognition of His lofty teaching is one
thing, the appropriation Of His teaching
quite another. Has the world entered
upon q new opportunity-tim Are we
again confronted with the question
asked OF old: Art thou He that should
come. or do we look for another?"

Fires at Boiling Field.

Since 1920 five fires at Boiling Field
have destroyed property valued at about
$2,267000. But the remarkable thing
about these fires is not the damage
they have caused, but that the majority
of buildings at the field still remain in
tact. None of the buildings is f1reproof.
The hangers are built Of steel frames
and covered with heavy corrugated
sheets of metal on the sides and roofs.
But this metal, in turn, is treated with
waterproof tar coating in order to- pro-
tect it from rust The tar coating,
once ienited, burns like finder and
leaves the steel frames of the hangers
twisted and useless. Other buildings
are Temporary" frame structures put
together during the feverish days Of the
war. They arc dry and a spark is
enough to set them off. AS the material
kept at Boiling Field Is highly i'm
hammable, any fire threatens a holo-
caust.
About two years ago Congress APP
propriated $4,000 for the construc-
ton Of permanent buildings at Boiling
Field. and there was the usual APP

BY WILLIAM HARD.

CHICAGO, April 12.-Personal in.
QuirieS in Illinois convince this writer
that the chances are that Mrs. Ruth
Hanna Mccormick Republican nominee
for United States Senator, has the bet
ting edge against James Hamilton
Lewis. Democratic nominee, for election
next Fall, in spite of the fact that Mrs
Mccormick Is running as a dry and Mr.
Lewis is running as a wet I'm State
I'm which possibly the wet Sentiment-or
at any rate, the wet PRACTICES the
dominant one.
The reasons for this prospect are
numerous and have a large national
significance.
In the first place, Mrs. Mccormick
has pretty well erased whatever disad-
vantages she was under through being
q woman and has nearly succeeded now
in turning it into an asset. She has
built up for herself sort of emotional
and affectionate following, easier for q
woman than for man TO acquire. She
has become a kind Of political screen
heroine, whom no political screen hero
in Illinois can rival for glamourous In
terest.
- **
Some Democrats, indeed, last Tues
day deserted the primary Of their own
party and voted in the Republican pri-
mary for Mrs Mccormick on the theory
that Mrs. McCormick's sex would make
her a weaker candidate against THEN
Mr.. Lewis in the Fall than Mr.. Deneen
would have been. That theory is likely
to be totally exploded. Mrs. McCor-
mick has got hundreds OF thousands OF
voters in Illinois into calling her
Ruth; and large part of the whole
Illinois electorate begins now to take q
home town pride in seeing how far 1.-The
little lady" can go in the great big ma
tional political world. Mr.. Lewis at the
present writing seems likely to lose votes
rather than gain them through his OPP
ponents femininity.
In the second place, Mrs. McCor-
mick's record OH the League or World
Court is clearer and more obviously
consistent than Mr.. Lewis. Mrs. Nc
Cormick joined her late husband. Sena-
tor Medill Mccormick, in an unwaver-
ing opposition to the League from the
moment of its appearance as an issue
in American politics and she has con-
tinued to oppose the League and all its
works uncompromisingly ever since. Mr..
Lewis, on the other hand, happened in
the early part of the year 1919 to be the
accepted spokesman of the Wilson ad-
ministration ON the floor of the United
States Senate. and as such 1t became
his duty to make great many optl,
mistic speeches about the international
peace and good will which President
wilson's lab0rs at the Paris Peace Con-
ference might be expected to produce
4 X X 4
It is highly probable that Mr.. Lewis
performed this duty with a great deal
of skepticism and a great deal OF dis
taste, and 1t is certain that virtually
Immediately after his departure from
the Senate in March of 1919 he took
an attitude strongly critical of many es-
sential parts Of the League covenant

homes of the high priests, as well as
those of the ruling powers that had

with intense yearning, He beheld the

memorable words: "If thou hadst
