Birthday Roses
 For Dr. Lewis
Bishop" of St Johns Honored By Members of Ministers Association-W Lauded By Fel- low Pastors

At the meeting of the Waterbury Ministers association yesterday, pr John N. Lewis. the rector of St Johns church was presented with bouquet of roses in honor of his birthday. The presentation was made by Dr James E. Gregg, presi- dent of the Ministers association, who said in part "Dr Lewis repre- sents to us all the idea of spiritual unity. I am sure I am expressing the thought uppermost in the minds of all of you when I say, we simply could not let this birthday go by without showing to Dr Lewis. how much we all respect and love him. He is the shepherd and bishop of us all. He expresses our ideal of spiritual brotherhood. and l take great pleasure on behalf of the Ministers association in pre- senting to you this bouquet of roses, as a small token of our esteem and affection"
 Dr Lewis, in accepting the roses, showed that he was deeply touched by the expression which Dr Gregg had voiced. He said your com radeship means much to me. How lonely life would be without friends. and how delightful com radeship is in a great spiritual cause. I am about as far removed from being saint as it is pos- sible for man to be. I am just lame duck. The boys who work with me here at the church know what a poor Christian I am. I do not deserve anything you have said about me, Dr Gregg. On the other hand, we all lok to you and the old First church-250 years old-for our leadership. and as long as you

THOUGHT IN BUSINESS.

The average business man lives in
q state OF divided thinking. He sees
good In many Of his associates; he
sees preponderance Of evil in others.
He has been taught that business. runs
In cycles, until the Joy Of a period of
profit making Is dulled by the fear OF
a corresponding period of depression.
He believes that some persons are
fair with him but others are trying
to take advantage Of him. These and
all similar negative ideas should be
erased from his mind until nothing
but constructive ideas remain. To
win the highest success 1t is essential
that all mans power of thinking be
concentrated on only that which
brings success. The power of thought
is SO vital in business, that one can
readily see that more certain and
more beneficial results can be OBJ
tanned from concerted thought action
than from divided thinking.
This radical change In mental atti-
tude is not an easy thing to bring
about; 1t requires constant watching
and great deal of mental discipline
The amount of such discipline that /;
required depends upon the degree tc
which ones thought has been per-
mitted to run in negative channels.

GREATEST THINGS IN LIFE.

What is it? To stick around? To
be useful? To do ones duty? Yes,
first and foremost to those who are
dependent on you--your immediate
family. It is not their fault that you
are related to them. Your duty to
them performed, you may develop
yourself as an individual. Your per-
sonality, your individuality are next
in Importance.
It is not in q national sense highly
important that we formulate ma
tional philosophy founded on the eff
ficient individual and service for the
masses2
The concept of Americans by the
Europeans, that we are nation of
men and women who are mere dollar
chasers, is a mistaken one. We have
amassed the most dollars because we
have made wealth a by-product OF
principle, not putting dollar worship
first.
The principle Of service, better SER
vice, more service, has become the
greatest thing in life with American
industrial leaders.
Men who have made millions are
generally plain and common as old
shoes.

THE PRIMARIES

To have the primary elections over with is a decided relief to
almost everybody Primaries are valuable institutions in government
which serve to stir the public and lift voters out of their apathy. The
warmer the campaign the better the opportunity for the public to
learn the inside facts about government affairs and public officials.
The voters are entitled to know the truth and honest criticism and
open dscussion-spoken, printed or broadcast is the way to get
the truth to the voters.
Cards and pictures and atractively worded slogans are alright
as far as they go, but there is no substitute for the personal contact
that affords a opportunity to take a man by the hand, look him in
the eye, ask him questions and get his ideas and arguments from his
own lips. Primaries a. well as general elections are excellent edu-
Gators of the public in the art Of reading human nature.
However primaries meaning state primaries, not local. lack
much OF offering a perfect system for selecting the nominees the ma
joriy of the voters want How often we find an official firmly en-
trenched n a lucrative position with opportunity to build up a personal
organization. If and when opposition to this official arises, it may be
wild spread and strong but naturally it lacks organized cohesiveness
When primary time comes, from two to half a dozen opposition candf
dates file from as many parts of the state. The opposition is split into
again without ever a fight In some states this situation is met by re-
quring that if no candidate has over so percent of the vote the two
with the highest and second highest vote must pass another test of
strength before a nominee is chosen.
Another defect in the primary law is that no nonpartsan separate
is provided for judicial offices. Our courts have no place in
politics or parties.

A TURNING POINT

What will probably be recorded in history as a turning point in
world affairs occurred last week in Lausanne. After dragging through
a period of ten OF twelve years the nations of Europe have arrived
at a settlement of the Preparations problem. Two years ago nobody
would have dreamed such a settlement possible.
About one year ago President Hoover sensed the great calamity
which was hanging over Europe. He called upon the world to declare
a moratorium o n war debts for one year in order to provide a sane
readjustment of this great question.
Every great epoch in the worlds history must have a beginning.
The beginning of the war Preparations settlement was the Hoover
moratorium.
Under the new treaty just completed at Lausanne, Germany is
committed to pay the sum of three billion reichmarks in settlement of
all claims arising from the war. Payment will be made in the form
of German bonds, the funds for which will be derived from the sale
of goods in the worlds market only as and when conditions allow
This sum is approximately $712O $1,000 and is one-hundredth of the
amount originally fixed for repayment by Germany
The economic disturbance which broke on our shores in 1929 had
its origin in central Europe and was directly attributable to the
breakdown of the morale of the people, due to burdensome debts that
they felt could never be paid. Although W q IRE three thousand miles
removed from the scene of the trouble the wash-back upset our own
economic balance and brought about a prolonged depression.
Without question the United States will make some limited conces-
sions short Of cancellation, which will restore international trade con-
fidence and help the world to regain its normal stride and the much
needed renewal of agricultural and commercial activities-Exchange.
