AN ORDERLY LIFE
BY THE RIGHT REV. LANES E. FREEMAN. D. D, IL. D.
Bishop OF Washington.

accord to every man the right to wor-
ship God according to the dictates OF
his own conscience. It n not permitted
mortal man to lift the veil from the
unknown and unknowable; no man dare
assert that his dogma or creed is the
sole worship that finds favor in the
eyes Of God. The contrary, in my be-
lief, Is the case. God will harken to
the prayer and vouchsafe His mercy
whether the petition arises from church,
shrine, synagogue, altar or hearth,
from open spaces or wooded groves. He
is the Father of all; we are all His
children"
What q noble testimony this Is to
a life that reverently recognized plan
and purpose, and that with fidelity to
fine ideals prosecuted its course unlet
and unhindered OF such an one the
poets words are true:
Along the cool sequestered wales Of
life
He led the noiseless tenor Of his way"
1t was not with conceit or any sense
of self -adulation that these lines were
written. They were penned by one
who sought to bear witness to the
utter value of q course in which Gods
plan was consciously recognized. SO
many Of us live desultory, careless and
carefree lives that we are heartened
and encouraged by such witnessing as
this. The evidence Of his ready Co
operation with God in the outworking
OF a plan, his obedient following of
His law. his maintenance Of the
loftiest ideals in all his relations with
his fellows constituted in his latter
DAYS the source of his satisfaction and
peace.
We turn from the reading Of such
a record strengthened and stimulated.
It compels us to survey our own lives
and to discover, If we may. how far
and in what manner we have shaped
our course in recognition Of divine
plan and purpose. The more we study
the lives of the good and great the
stronger is our conviction thai they
we're lived-not carelessly, but with q
full recognition Of the part they were
designed to play in Gods eternal
scheme of things. Our modern world
seems to be full Of men and women
who are following paths that lack
definiteness Of direction or the sense
of an ultimate objective.

"The Lord ordereth Q good mans
going. and maketh his way acceptable
unto himself. ."-Pslam, xxxvii.23.
To believe that there Is divinity
that shapes our ends" is to hold phi
losophy Of life that Is more than COM
pensating. There seems to be so much
of disorder, such a lack of plan and
purpose in the scheme of most lives
that 1t Is refreshing now and again TO
come in contract with one who, at the
end of the way surveying his lie, sees
the irresistible logic OF Divine plan.
Such a record came to hand from the
pen Of one who, in the maturity OF his
years, bore testimony not only to the
readiness with which he recognized
Gods plan in his life, but the deep sat
isfaction he had in lending himself to
it's fulfillment. This high minded man
had rendered eminent service in the
field of journalism. He was widely
known and honored by host OF de-
voted friends. In the best sense he had
attained what men call success" He
had not reached 1t without struggle and
upward climb. In the fullnesS OF his
years and shortly before his death he
wrote the following as an expression OF
his ideals-ideals that had governed
him in his course and as a further eX-
preston of gratitude to Almighty God
for His leading and directing care:
I'm looking backward over my three
score years and ten, I can recall no sin

practiced a deception or ever broke my
word, q legacy am proud to leave my
sons. I never borrowed a dollar from

or defendant individually in any court
action. The serenity Of my age Is not

Roosevelt Expected to Become Advocate
OF Liquidation of Bonded Indebtedness

, ing Of debts owed from all over the
world to British investors.
Such a devaluation Of the dollar for
the unintended but obvious advantage
Of our foreign debtors is rendered i'm
possible by our firm domestic policy In
such matters. Our present administra-
ton Is opposed to the cheapening OF
our money. So is our incoming ad-
ministration. President-elect Roosevelt
is as definitely pledged to the gold
standard-to the unabated gold stand
ard-as President Hoover.
We then at present are endeavoring
in the matter of intergoverpmental
debts to do two things, each of which
is sufficiently difficult. First, We are
endeavoring to collect in full from our
European debtors at time when prices
have fallen and when in consequence q
general reduction of the face value Of
all debts is everywhere sought and is in
many places in process Of achievement.
Second, we are endeavoring to collect
in full while still retaining the COM
plete pristine gold value Of our money.
There are few economists even among
our own citizens who believe that such
q double defiance Of the currents of
world tendencies Is in the end prac-
ticable.
An illustration of its composite diff
Guilty Is to be found in the case of the
debt owed to us by the British. In
Britain there has been both a decline
Of prices and depreciation Of the cur
rency since the signing Of the British
American debt-funding agreement. The
combined consequence of these two de-
velpoments is startling. To buy the
number of dollars necessary for the
payment of the debt installment due to
us on December Is the British taxpayers
must undertake a burden which-in the
buying power Of the pounds 81 per
cent greater than it would have been
nine years ago.
Putting 1t otherwise, and more gen.
orally, the weight Of the debt resting
upon our governmental debtor, Great
circumstances. Therefore Great Britain
suggests, at any rate, partial repudi-
alton. The suggestion seems extreme.
1t is nevertheless precisely the sugges-
ton made by President-elect Roosevelt
on behalf of our farmers and with re-
gard to our railroads. 1t is, moreover,
precisely the development already In
full swing in American urban real es-
tate, in South American bonds and In
the financial external obligations of sew
eral of the smaller European countries.
1t is accordingly thought natural here
that President-elect Roosevelt should
be pursuing debts policy both of pres
ent accommodation within his own
party and of future accommodation
with our European governmental debt
ors He is not crossing swords with
Democratic congressional leaders who
declare that they will collect the debts
to the last cent. At the same time he
is abundantly pledged by his written and
spoken record to new negotiations with
out debtors either through ordinary
diplomatic channels or through q spe-
cial conference in Washington. It is
not going too far to surmise that-in
spite of all present congressional ap-
pearances-Mr Roosevelt will be a
debt-readjusting President in the in
ternational as well as in the domestic
arena.

This is in sharp contrast to the
bituminous coal mining industry. There
only OF per cent of the mines are on
a five-day week, with per cent Of en-
ployes affected. In quarrying and non
metallic mining 80 per cent Of the
mines and quarries are on the five-day
week, with So per cent Of the workers
affected In the industry producing
crude petroleum only 0.2 per cent of
the wells are on the five-day week, with
only 40 per cent Of the employees af-
fected
In many industries, including mining
and petroleum. the nature of the work
presents certain difficulties. When an
oil well Is being spudded in it is no
time to think of getting off. Location
Of the scene Of many operations makes
long shifts and steady work important,
even imperative.
The canning industry shows that only
per cent Of the establishments have
put the f1ye-day week into effect, with
only 2 per cent OF the workers obtain
ing that advantage. This is due largely
to the nature of the work. Canneries
must work at top speed when certain
seasons are at their height in order to
avoid spoilage, take advantage of low
est prices for raw material and pre-
serve the best Of the crop. When the
runs of salmon occur, for example, in
the season, the idea Of short work week
Is out Of the question. Shifts work con-
tinuously In many canneries during
heavy seasons.
Hotels and Shops Little Changed.
Personal service establishments do
not appear to be adopting the shorter
week. Retail trade, for instance, shows
only OIL per cent of all establishments on
that basis, with only 40 per cent Of
employees affected. Hotels show only OIL
per cent of establishments and less
than that figure of workers on the FIVE
day week. The telephone and telegraph
industry has not adopted the shorter
week at all. while electric railroads and
motor buses show only 0.3 per cent Of
the companies having the five-day week.
with only 0.5 per cent Of the workers
affected.
For the non-manufacturing industries
as . whole the figure Is 81 per cent of
the establishments and "a per cent OF
the workers. This is gain over last
year, when only 1.8 per cent of the es-
tablishments and Sc per cent of the
workers had the shorter week. For all
manufacturing industries there has
been a marked gain in 1882 over 1881.
In 1881 the figure was As per cent Of
all establishments and 8.5 per cent Of
employees, compared with 81 per cent
Of establishments and 1913 per cent Of
employees now.
The public must realize that in order
to introduce regular five-day week,
providing steady employment the year
around in many manufacturing indus
tries, requires heavy financing. For ex-
ample, the manufacturer of an article
which has only seasonal sales must
keep his money tied up in raw material
and In finished products for months at
a time in order to keep staff steadily
employed and then he Is gambling ON
the demand. Nevertheless, the practice
Is spreading and it seems more than
likely that within less than five years
the five-day week will be established
In every industry where it Is workable.

Five Million Christmas
Trees to Glow This Year
BY HARDEN COLFAx.

OF the 100000 or more Christmas
trees which the Forest Service estimates
will gladden. the hearts of the children
Of the United States this year, it is ex-
pected that nearly one-half come out
Of the Pacific Northwest States.
The State forester of Washington has
already announced that 100000 are
available from that State. Another
million, according to railroad figures.
will be brought out Of the New England
States, and the rest will come from the
national parks or be imported from
the maritime provinces of Canada. In
addition there are the products of small
private properties.
A good many Of the trees come from
these comparatively small landed prop
critics, particularly in New England, and
are taken out and marketed through
farmers co-operatives The trees from
the national parks are cut by private
interests, acting under permit of the
Forest Service. This year these will bear

5-Day Week Permanently Established
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

Regardless Of emergency measures
dictated by unemployment and Of ths
efforts Of special committees putting
into effect relief plans designed to stag
ger jobs. the five-day week has been
permanently adopted by 5.4 per cent of
the employing establishments in the
United States, and 8.4 per cent Of all
wage workers are on that basis. In
PRODUCTION Of the shortened work week
by these establishments may have been
hastened in some cases by the ext
gencies Of the depression. Generally
speaking, however, the plan would have
been adopted had the conditions which
prevailed in 1929 and before continued
without interruption. In the cases re-
ferred to the f1ve-day week was adopted
as a permanent policy, and only some
such emergency as war will put these
workers back on a longer schedule.
1t must be borne in mind that long
before 1929-long before there was any
thought Of q wave of unemployment re-
qnring the redistribution Of jobs-there
we're many advocates Of q shortened
work week among both the employing
groups and the employed. It must further
be remembered that, from the inception
Of the labor union movement. shorter
hours have constituted almost as much
Of q cause as higher pay. The sun-to-
sun cay was cut to the 12-hour day.
the 12-hour day to the 10 and then
to the 8-hour day, and In some trades
work was placed on an hourly basis.
which made an even briefer work day
sufficiently remunerative to workers. It
must not be forgotten that most OF the
time the people have not been. as at
present. looking for more work, but for
less work.
1t Is recognized that the unemploy-
ment cycle viii come full circle again in
all probability and the longing for less
work reassert itself, and those groups
on a permanent basis have that in
mind. They are taking the long view
and, at that, preparing themselves for
the dawn Of four day week with per-
haps six-hour days.
Trend Shown by Survey.
The information now in hand Is to
the progress of the movement has been
compiled by the United States Bureau
of Labor Statistics. This bureau con-
Quoted an inquiry among 44,025 es-
Establishments employing q total OF j.
84e,349 workers. So representative
were the industries chosen, both as to
character and location, that the find
ings may safely be accepted as repre-
sentative of the entire country.
The automobile industry has pro-
gressed farther than any other in es-
tablishing the five-day week. This in
dustry has no less than 672 per cent
Of its employees on f1ve-day week
basis. with the intention of making this
a permanent policy. This is seasonal
industry, so far as sales are concerned,
the heavy sales coming in the Spring
and Summer. BY instituting five-day
week it is hoped that the business of
actually producing the machines can
be spread evenly over the entire year,
regardless of seasonal briskness in
sales, thus insuring steady employment
to workers.
The manufacturing Industries, IS q
whole, show no such high percentage
on the five-day week as the automo-
bile manufacturing industry alone, but
they do show a percentage higher than
all industries combined. Manufactur-
