"REMINISCENCES
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. d. ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop Of Washington

"Oh, that one would give me to drink
Of the water Of the well Of Bethlehem,
that is by the gate"
This was the sincere and yearning
desire Of man who, faced with su
preme difficulties and disappointments,
turned his thought backward to the
early days Of childhood when life was
free and cares and problems were un-
known. Beset with trials which seemed
unsurmountable the one thing he de-
sired vas water from the ancient well
that was intimately associated with the
days of his youth. Other waters. how
ever clear and cooling, could not sat
isfy. Bethlehem and Bethlehem's gate
and the well that stood hard by filled
his mind with happy memories. The
tired and discouraged man found salts
faction in turning the pages backward
and recalling again the period when his
skies were unclouded and his mind and
heart were unburdened by the stern
problems Of life.
1t Is characteristic of all Of us to be-
come now and again reminiscent Of the
past He is unfortunate. indeed, who
has not stored up within him memories
Of other days and scenes, the recollec-
ton Of which is invigorating and stimu-
lating. 1t has always seemed to me
that one of the divinest gifts with
which God has lowered man Is men,
ory. In the process of our education
and development it occupies O supreme
ly important place indeed the acquisi-
ton Of all knowledge Is determined by
our capacity to remember. The impor-
tance Of storing the mind with the best
Is indispensable. II from the treasure
house Of memory We are to draw when
most needed that which sustains and
enriches us in our life's pilgrimage.
I recall the incident Of a man who
in the fullness of his years and in the
height Of his prosperity felt sudden
and irresistible urge to leave his palatiel
home and to return to the homely
scenes Of his childhood in q country
village. The sense of joy he felt when
he found himself once again visiting
places that were associated with his
boyhood and youth brought to him a

satisfaction and 10Y that the harassing
cares of his overoccupied life had long
denied him. He literally became boy
again. The effect Of his brief Sojourn
In the old places changed the whole
tenor of his life He had gone back to
the well that was by the old gate and
there found a satisfaction that neither
the gifts nor emoluments of his So
called successful career could longer
supply. Morley tells us that Gladstone
identified some Of the most formative
periods of his life with the reading Of
certain books, and 1t was his practice to
read yearly. and SO far as he might

read them, the books that had exer-
cised such an influence upon his youth

have found, in dealing with men and
women whose lives have miscarried,
that nothing 50 quickly brings them to
q recognition of their unfulfilled pos
sibilities as the suggestion OF other and
earlier days when life was fresh and
expectant, before 1t had sustained dis
appointments and misfortunes that
diSillusioned and destroyed its buoyancy.
There is deep significance in the
words of Jesus where He said: "Ex-
cept ye be converted and become as
little children, ye shall not enter into
the Kingdom Of Heaven" 1t was His
insistent demand to recognize again the
days Of innocence and purity before
life had been dulled and tarnished and
its pure motives sullied by bitter and
untoward experiences. When He de-
fined the high purpose Of the Holy
Spirit and His influence in the world.
He declared concerning Him, He shall
bring all things to your remembrance"
He was to be the great remembrancer; ;
He would refresh life by keeping clearly
before it those life-giving principles
that the great Master Of men had pro-
claimed. We should all be the better,
and life itself would be more whole

thinking more seriously and more fire.

Fair Competition by
Fertilizer Producers
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

At the same time that the N. r. A.
was hearing the fertilizer industry set
forth its code of fair competition and
the Tariff Commission was listening to
the producers Of super-phoSphates ex-
plain how the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration is affecting their inter-
ests,s an accord was being reached at
Paris between the American and French
North African producers of phoSphateS.
Meanwhile the two other principal in
gradients of fertilizer were also being
featured in the news. The possibility
of q large nitrate output from the Gov
eminent plant at Muscle Shoals and
the development Of Spain and Chile as
large producers of potash were the sub
jects under discussion.
Representatives of American and
French phosphate interests have come
to a general agreement as to allotment
of the European market and the stabili-
zation of prices. Before and during the
World War, it is recalled. the Ameri-
cans had q virtual monopoly of the
phosphate markets of Europe. After
the war France intensively developed
her huge phosphate deposits in Moroc-
so,> to augment existing production In
Algeria and Tunisia She had cheap
labor and the deposits were compare
lively near to her factories.
The Americans were soon practically
turned out of the continental markets,
except the Scandinavian countries.
Moroccan phosphates were even sold IN
the United States at lower prices than
the home product. Then came the de-
probation Of the dollar. The French
accused the Americans of dumping.
However, even with the dollar down on
the European exchanges, American
phosphate producers-most of them are
in Florida-have not been able to make
much headway in central Europe
against the French.
The American farmer has been using
millions of tons of commercial fertilizer
every year to make up for the billions
of pounds of nitrogen, phosphates and
potash which his crops absorb from the
soil annually. In 1892, according to
Government figures, he used some
1890, 900 tons of fertilizer, a decline of
nearly Al per cent from the peak figures
Of more than 5000 900 tons in 1890.
The depression has so reduced the
purchasing power Of the American
agricultural classes that the fertilizer

and no worldwide agencies to gather

The Sun Centenary.

The New York Sun is celebrating the
completion of its first hundred years OF
news and editorial service to the Ma
ton and to the community in which 1t
is published. and the occasion has
prompted a flood Of messages Of con-
graduation and good wishes.
OF course, any such anniversary is
bound to be eminently notable. A
centennial is an event worthy Of ap-
plause. But it happens that in the
case of the Sun there are special rea-
sons for popular appreciation. 1t was
one Of the first penny newspapers, and
under the guidance Of Ben Day it dem
onstrated the practical feasibility Of
such a diminutive price. 1t also from
the beginning has been consistently
progressive in the character of its ideals.
Under a succession of owners. it has
grown in journalistic value and power.
and it may be said with truth and
without apology that it is better
paper today than ever it was at any
one moment Of the past. At present
it represents. as never before a COM
munity psychology and a community
spirit. Perhaps it has been in large
part because of its capacity of growth
that it has prospered. If it can retain
that ability through the next ten
decades its second centennial should be
doubly impressive commemoration.
Meanwhile it may be proper to re-
view in brief outline the century Of
progress which has passed. When the
Sun began there was no telephone, tele-
graph, transoceanic cable or radio; no
reliable steam engine or gasoline en-
gine; no electrical motor power; no
railroads and no automobiles; no sub

Education in 1898.

A new school year Is about to begin,
and the problem Of the Nations youth
is that of deciding whether or not to
continue in the pursuit of the cultural
advantages which hitherto have been
considered desirable. The issue Is
forced by the fact that for three or
four years past graduates have emerged
from the universities and colleges Of
the land only to discover that no
market exists for their services. Lit
orally thousands Of young men and
women, with diplomas expensively &C.
quired. still are unemployed. Nat
urally, their experience. their disap-
pointment has had an unhappy effect
upon their immediate juniors.
But it would be an error to sup
pose that the depression which has had
such q deleterious influence upon the
popular mind will continue much
longer. Economists are agreed that
there has been change for the better
during the Summer and that this i'm
provement should continue through the
Fall and Winter. with the result that
bv Spring new period of prosperity
should be ensured. In any case the
destiny Of the United States is not to
be one of failure and the fate Of its
people is not to be poverty and dis
aster. Sad as conditions have been
since 1929 there is no ground for the
pesslmistic notion that the country is
doomed.
On the contrary. the slump should
have the effect Of creating an ex-
traordinary demand for service as well
as for material commodities. When
that eventuality develops, the edu-
Gated man or woman. surely, will have
a chance to reap the reward Of merit.
1t never has been a handicap 10 be
possessed of knowledge. and it never
will be. Instead knowledge is power
today as ip the long ago. The pursuit
Of that power still is worth while.
The youth Of the Nation may be chal-
lenged. but it will not fail. 1t will
have the stimulation of its own innate
courage, and it can rely upon the aid
Of its parents and friends. In an
emergency the National Government
will help.
The watchWord then is: Onward and
upward! Faithful to that ideal. the
boys and girls of Washington. like
their comrades elsewhere in America,

The dinner is a problem; so quite fire.

As you pick a frugal menu or get lib
eral with the bunch.
There's little problem hanging round
each dollar that is spent.
There are problems in the car fare,
there are problems in the rent
So now and then I have to be excused
from further care
About the billions that are saved or
wasted here and there.
As view the big transactions I protest
in humble tone
I can't be Of much assistance. I have
