Queen


7 ONGFELLOW, the American
L. poet, wrote one of the most de-
lightful descriptions of the rising
moon. He wrote;
"See yonder fire! 1t is the moon
Slow rising DER the eastern hill.
1t glimmers on the forest tips,
And through the dewy foliage dripS
In little rivulets of light,
And makes the heart in love with
night"
Another splendid description was
penned by Crowley, who wrote;
How like a queen comes forth the
lonely moon
From the slow opening curtains OF
the clouds;
Walking in beauty to her midnight
throne"
Such interest in the beauty Of the
moon is as old as mankind. Long
before the dawn of written history,
the moon held an interest for man
kind exceeded among the heavenly
bodies only by the sun.
With the passage Of time, early
man began to note the regularity
with which the moon went through
it phases. The earliest calendars
were lunar calendars based upon
the phases Of the moon.
Each month, in the ancient He
brew calendar, began on new moon.
The author of the 104th Psalm,
speaking of the Creator, tells us
He appointed the moon for sea-
sons
In ancient Palestine, watchers
regularly were posted upon high
hills to keep a lookout for tthe first
glinmer of the thin crescent Of the
new moon. AS soon as it was seen,
fires we're lighted to tell the peoples
of the towns that the start of
new month had arrived.
The division of the year into
twelve months in the calendar now
in general use is, of course, the re-
suit of the influence of earlier lunar
calendars.

THE HOUR OF PRAYER

THE HOUR OF PRAYER
(Read Mark 6:35-46O Memory
verse: After saying goodbye to
them, he went up the hill to pray"
Mark 6:46)
MEDITATION
This is Mofatt's translation. Jesus
had had a busy day, caring for the
multitude. And there were exact
ing days ahead. He felt the neces-
sity of saying goodbye" even to
the twelve, that He might retire to
the hill for prayer. This is the
World Day of Prayer" in recog-
milton of the day of Pentecost. That
was day of witnessing TO the glory
and power of Christ. Every man
heard the witness in his own tongue.
The enterprise Of carrying the
Christian message to men in their
own tongue has been one of the
most noble and daring tasks IN the
history of mankind.
PRAYER
Teach US to be still before Thee
until our ears have caught Thine
accents and our eyes have glinpsed
Thy truth. Then, Lord, open Thou
our lips, and our mouths shall show
forth Thy praise and bear witness
TO Thy glory. Amen. .a.....

From seven to ten million out of
work in Russia, according to the
best information available, but not
a Communist on parade to remind
the government of its duty, not a
soap box orator to call the Soviet
names, and every one knows the
reason.
1t still is safer for Communists to
stage demonstrations in behalf of
the johless everywhere else.
If such ructions as took place in
dozen capitalistic cities had oc-
Cured in Moscow, there would be
enough corpSes at the morgue to
prove the folly and futility of it.
The Soviet government simply
does not permit speeches and
parades of protest, particularly to
exploit the unemployed.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

Some historians tell Us that the Dec
laration of Independence was adopted on
July 2 and not July 4, but no historians
are ever going to succeed in changing
the status of the Fourth of July as the
birthday of the United States of Amer
lea.
The GLORIOUS Four,h'' has come down
to us from the very BIZ th of the nation,
and tomorrow we observe the 154th one
since that momentous July A, 1916.
Our modern life has changed condi-
tions so that comparatively small min
ority will see in tomorrow anything
more than another holiday, an oppor-
tunity to shake off the usual routine and
enjoy a little diversion.
Few will let their minds wander back
to that scene in Philadelphia 154 years
ago when a group of men decided, as
Franklin said, .t0 hang together or to
hang separately" They placed their
names without fear on document that
defied the British king and made them
traitors in the eyes of many of their
countrymen. 1t would have meant death
for any or all of them if the kings troops
could have captured them, hence the
grim humor of Franklin's statement.
Modern historians attempt to describe
Hancock's action as bragadocio. He
wrote his signature on the Declaration
in a flourishing hand, making it big
enough, as he stated, for King George
to read without putting on his spectac-
les
Charles Carol signed his name ''of
Carrolton'', remarking that there were
so many Carols that he wished the king
to know just which Carol had defied
him.
1t is easy, after $50 years. to accuse
such men of being braggarts. Criticism
is cheaper even than good advice. Critics
of the signers of the Declaration for their

UNCLE WIGGILY S FOURTH OF

While il was vet dark, Uncle Wig,
giIv was suddenly awakened in his
hollow stump bungalow carly one
morning by hearing loud banging
noises beneath his window.
Boom, Boom Bang, Bang.
Goodness, What is that?' cried
Mrs. Longears
Somebody shooting firecrackers,

is the Fourth of July, though it is

Fourth or the night of the third. y

little peculiarities, are like ants batting
themselves against a stone wall. The
names of the SignerS have come down
to us and will be handed on to poster
ity while time shall last. Those of their
critics are not even remembered in a
passing hour.
Courage to an extraordinary degree
was required to defy the British king and
all his legions. Americans should feel
proud that they are part of nation
which produced such men. Their pride
should prompt them to read and re-read
the immortal story of the Revolution and
those concerned with it. 1t is not all nice
reading. but no revolution is.
How many Americans will read the
Declaration of independence over the
holiday? Few indeed. Time was when
reading the Declaration was the high
light in the Fourth of July celebration
Our modern historians scott at the POM
pous Fourth of July orator Of few de-
cades back and the flourishing manner in
which he read the Declaration. At least
he enabled his audience to appreciate the
significance of that document.
Aside from the youngsters in school.
few read the Declaration these days.
Many there are who have never read it.
ferhapS lney gave 1t q quick gong over
at school, but to read it so as to realize
its import, has never occurred to them.
Yet it possesses the power to give true
Americans greater thrill than any fire
cracker or skyrocket ever built
The principles for which is declares and
the ideals for which it stands, are as i'm
portant to America today as they were
in 1776. Its lesson of true loyalty can
never be dimmed and might we'll be i'm
inflated by all of us by renewing on
Fourth of July our pledge of loyalty to
the United States of America, sanctify-
ing it as the signers did with, "our lives,
our fortunes and our sacred honor

SO many paper bags being shot off

came daylight and the Dummies hu~-

of July was held in Woodland.
All day long more paper bags were
burst. and when the boy rabbits put
flour from Nurse James pantry in
some of the bags it looked Just like
smoke
"Whee, What fun cried Buntv.
In the afternoon Uncle Wiggiiy
went downtown and bought lot OF
candy for his children. On tie way
home the Fuzzy For chased him.
But Mr. Longears quickly took the
candy from the paper bag aud put
the sweets in his pockets. Then, hid.

"Oh. Fourth Of July, IN shot by

and away he rushed as Uncle Wig
gily hoped home with the candy.
So there was lots OF fun on Fourth
of July and not Il single bunny boy
er girl was burned or hurt, because
the paper bag firecrackcrs were safe
and harmless. In the evcning Uncle
Wiggily lighted hundreds Of the
dried cattail plants he had gathered
in the swamp and they glowed like
Roman candles Then he and Mr.

And before they went to bed all the
animal boys and girls had icc-crcam.
