WASHINGTON'S FAMILY

George Washington's mother was
Mary Ball, said to have been a
lineal descendant from John Ball,
medieval champion of the rights of
man. Her mother was Mary Mon
tague, who, as 1.-THE widow John
son." was married to Colonel
Joseph Ball. Her grandfather was
Colonel William Ball, who emf
grated to Virginia in 1850, and set
tied in Lancaster county. George
Washington's father was Augustine
Washington, the grandson of Law
ence Washington and the great
grandson of John Washington, who
came from England about 1850 and
settled in Westmoreland county,
Virginia. The English ancestry has
been traced back through Lauren
Tia Washington, father of Lawrence,
several generations to the Sulgrave
branch of the family.

weighed; refraining if he saw doubt
but, when once decided, going through
with his purpose, whatever obstacles
opposed. E.
HE was, indeed, in every sense of
the words, wise, good and great
man. His temper was naturally irri-
table and heightened. but reflection
and resolution had obtained a firm
and habitual ascendency over it.
"His heart was not warm in its af-
fections, but he exactly calculated ev-
cry mans value and gave him solid
esteem proportional to it. 1t
may truly be said that never did ma
ture and fortune combine more per-
fectly to make great man ana TO
place him in the same constellation
with whatever worthless have merited
from man everlasting remembrance"
After all has been said. it was
Washington's character which was su-
premely great, which was responsible
for the greatness of his achievements.
In the Revolution it was the trust In
Washington which held together a
faltering and discouraged people,
which tided the country over the dark
est hours which was responsible for
the eventful victory.
After peace had been won 1t was
this trust in Washington which made
It possible for a disunited people to
attain enduring strength and unity.
There have been greater generals than
Washington, greater statesmen; there
has been no greater character. When
the writings Of his detractors have
passed into obscurity his memory Will
remain. what It has always been, a
sacred legacy to the American people.

Hence the common remark of his Off

if nothing else is accomplished, is
very possibly squirt in some special
gift because it is the Easter season,
and then the chaotic results to follow
in the thought that one had done a
special favor to the church and that
would sustain for at least some time
to come.
If We must make some special effort
in our financial program, let this be
very much kept in htabekc adinfe
very much kept in the background, for
the matter of giving will find its So
luton only when hearts are moved by
the spirit of sacrifcial giving, born of
desire to serve Him, our Lord and
Master, even Jesus Christ.
If lives are consecrated in true sac
rificial relationship to Christ, giving
of our temporal means will necessar-
lily follow when and wherever the need
is found, in fact a desire will be Gre
ated to find the need and then a full
response will be made.
Too often this season is marred by
the stress upon this phase, which finds
little response because souls are not
in harmony with this greater spirit
Of true sacrifcial service.
Once the lives of our people are
filed with this spirit, they will eX-
claim as did that noted hymn writer,
Isaac Watts, in that most beautiful
hymn, when l survey the wondrous
Cross
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
So shall this season Of Lent bring
to us and to ours such a relationship
that we shall come with our gifts of
love and true service to Him, who is
indeed the Author and Finisher Of
nnI faith

rude in exactly the same way that
whispering behind ones hand is rude.
