President Green founo spots of

but pointed out that repeal may take
years, while modification is possible

will be amended and wholesome beer
will be served, and hope this will be
accomplished at the short session, but
if it is not / am confident it will be

President Green declared that if

Jewish Mourning Customs

The Scriptures set forth many In

cd of Jewish mourning. The next Of
kin closed the eyes Of the deceased !;
the corpse was bathed, and II q per-
son Of any consequence, the body was
laid for 4 time in spices, or was
anointed with them, swathed in linen
bandages and deposited in a tomb.
The mourners went bareheaded and
barefooted, covered their mouths and
kept silence, wore sack cloth and sat
In ashes. Funeral songs were sung
by hired singers, and splendid sepul-
chers containing numerous inches
were carved out Of rock. As niche
was filed, stone was rolled against
the opening.

Tribute to Mother

II my mother had not been my moth
er, she would have been my lifelong
friend, so many points OF contact were
there between our minds. There Is no
need for me to tell you Of the fine
qualities for which she was so emil
nently distinguished. All the rarest
attributes Of heart and intellect were
united in her. Our intimacy has been
long one, and In its whole course I
have never seen moment which has
not been devoted by her to the best
feelings.-From letter of Prince Met
ternich on His Mothers Death, 1923.

Christian, declares a message from
the Canada and Genesee Yearly Meet
ing OF Friends to the 235th annual
session of the North Carolina yearly
meeting of the Religious Society of
Friends.
The message from Canadian Friends
was singled out from a group of some
IL such messages for especial COM
ment by a committee appointed to
peruse the documents and present a
summary to the business sessions
which extended throughout the past
week. The passage quoted reads as
follows:
I'VE have brought before us anew
the competition in armaments of the
nations in their endeavor to find Sc
curity from possible enemies. We
have tried to realize something of the
conditions, especially in large cities,
where thousands of our unemployed
fellow citizens, in growing despair
and restlessness, seek the opportunity
to do useful work. We recognize that
any form of industry and any system
of international relations which is
thus destructive Of human personality
is unChristian Holding, as we do,
that everyone is a recipient of a
spark of the Divine, we insist that
things are not as important as peo-
ple."

Q.-Is six-hour day agitation new

A.-By no means. Labor is fore
sighted. The miners have just made

unions doubtless soon would demand
the six-hour day and the executive
