the Republic. The Church and the
school were the vanguards of our ad-
vancing civilization. Education on the
one hand: reverence and the recogni-
ton of Gods will and purpose on the
other, have been the hall-marks of our
growth and development. Then the
day came when we became so powerful
and self-confident that we exalted our
own genius to the place of supremacy.
In the language of those of old we
affirmed, my power and the might of
mine hand hath gotten me this wealth"
We built our go0dly cities, we felled our
forests and where they once stood
fertile fields appeared. We developed a
talent for making machinery that gave
us first place among the nations. We
became the guardian Nation of the
Western Hemisphere. Everything went
well with us. our silver and our gold
was multiplied. everything that we had
envy of the world. Then a dark
shadow fell across our National hearth
stone, and our hopes and expectations
were blighted over night. There are
evidences that we as o people have been
sobered and made reflective by these
events. We are beginning to learn that
hurry. excitement and speed are not the
guarantees Of progress, nor do they
secure to us either satisfaction or per-
manence. We are beginning to learn
that quietness does not mean inaction,
and that it is indispensable to conf
dence and the sense Of security. Our
truest leaders are those who have both
the will and the capacity to be quiet rs
they think through the problems that
overwhelm us. 1t Is through such u
process of consistent reflection thai
they rise in confidence to show us a
way out of our difficulty. Only as we
return to those paths Of quiet and peace
where God is to be found shall we find
ourselves on the way to a new day Of
confidence, restored order and hap
pineess.
This season Of Lent may have q
deeper significance this year than ever
before II we but heed the counsel Of
the prophet Of old. Life needs a new
lubricant. Shall we not find 1t in the
quiet places Of prayer and meditation?

elected by the people and in their serv-

be present at the ceremony which
confirms their decision.
The Inauguration Of Franklin D.

A Shortened Presidential Term.

President Roosevelt will serve, in the
term upon which he entered yesterday,
the shortest period of any Chief Execu-
tive who has filled out the allotted time
for which he was elected. The term
will end January 20. 1887, according to
the provisions of the twentieth amend
ment to the Constitution, just ratified.
That will be forty-two days less than
the full time of four years for which
each of his predecessors was chosen.
1t will not, however, be the shortest
time of all of those who have gone be-
fore, who have filled out their terms.
For George Washington, elected In the
Winter OF 1889. was unable to take the
oath of Office until April 80 Of that year,
SO that his first term was eight weeks
short of the four-year period. whereas
that of Mr. Roosevelt will be just day
more than six weeks short.
The Constitution did not originally
prescribe the date of the Inauguration,
merely stipulating that the term Of the
President should be four years. The
date was set by act of Congress. and
once set became the fixed feature of the

Shield, who came to the Congress with
a former chairman of the Approprj =

Minnesota, many years ago, has been
connected with the Committee on Ap-
preparations for over 20 years. He has
been the clerk Of the committee for
about Is years. All during the Hard

he has served continuously as the
clerk Of this committee, and every Re-
publican member will vouch for his
integrity and reliability. He knows
as much about the workings of the
committee as any man in Washington.
He personally prepared and gave me
the figures as being absolutely correct. "

much better way"
Representative Byrns replied: "Oh,

today as Mark Shield (applause), and
think it would be an imposition upon

SOURCES OF POWER
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. D., IL. D.
T. Bishop OF Nashngf0n

In quietness and in confidence shall
b your strength" This counsel was
kiven to . nation in the time of its
weakness. The statesman-prophet had
warned the people that they had sought
to strengthen themselves by repOsing
their confidence in a nation alien to
them, by assuming that in the day of
their testing their security would be
guaranteed to them through the ma
terial wealth and power Of another.
He charged his people with being ut
terly apostate. with neglecting the only
source Of strength. the God who, In
other days. they had reverently recog-
nized and obediently followed.
There is nothing unique in the situ-
alton here presented. Repeatedly, in
the course Of history, nations and peo-
pies have risen from humble circum-
stance to positions Of power and infiu-
ence. In the days Of their lowly estate.
where life was hard and conditions un-
favorable, they have disclosed real piety,
reverence and their sense Of dependence
upon God. Once they have risen to
prosperity and their position become
seemingly secure they have assumed
that their strength resided In their
own genius. their prowess and their
skill. and they have turned from their
early habits Of reverence and piety.
Repeatedly. this has been the story Of
the rise and fall of great nations. The
skeptic. Gibbon. makes this evident in
his dramatic recital Of the Rise and
Fall Of the Roman Empire" The
Apostle Paul. on his visit to Athens, in
the midst Of all its beauty and culture
finds that Its weakness resides In an
altar erected to THE Unknown God. F"
To those in Athens who had lost their
faith. he declares: HE whom ye igno-
rantly worship, Him declare I unto
you"
Any study Of the early days Of Ameri-
can history makes evident the strong
qualities Of character that distinguished
those who were the pioneers. All along
the way as the Nation developed and
pushed its frontiers farther and farther
until the Pacific was reached, we dis
cover these same sterling qualities in
the men who laid the foundations Of

Of thing on their part is necessary to

here? The receiver of stolen goods Is

Likewise the burglar, the highwayman

robbing a lone pedestrian or fleeing

profession he has adopted for Nveli-

pursuit Of 1t does lead him occasionally
to do things which a supersensitive
public sentiment may refuse to approve.
