to admit defeat, failure quickened their
determination to succeed. They were
saved by hope"
In every sphere of life this is true.
Triumphant living is ever hopeful living.
A large and contributing cause to these
late years of shadow and arrested de-
velopment Is the hopeleSSneSs Of men
and women. We had become so accus-
toned to uninterrupted success, our lives
were so full of satisfaction and achieve
ment, that once the advance was
checked we lost hope, our problems null
tiplied and our courage failed us. There
can be no recovery, no renewed as
surance until once again more hopeful
attitude lays hold of us and we deter
mine to attack our problems in the
spirit that marked our course in other
and sterner days. When we admit de-
feat hope abandons us and there is no
light on the pathway that lies ahead.
OF all the serene and hopeful leaders
the world has known, Jesus Of Nazareth
is supreme. No one appraised life more
highly. no one has ever been so ex-
pectant concerning it as was He. His
own life, one of severe trails and SEEM
ing defeats, His own efforts blocked at
every turn of the way, His teachings
misunderstood and His lofty purposes
thwarted, He pressed on, even though
a cross stood at the end of the way. He
dealt with every type of human failure,
He saw more deeply than another the
causes that produced the ills and abuses
that defeated men and drove them to
despair, but in no instance did He
acknowledge a hopeless case. He de-
clared that utter and complete foss there
could not be. Even death itself had no
terrors for Him. His was a new inter-
probation of the meaning of life He
saw in it latent possibilities, and He
thrilled it with new hopes. His whole
message to men might very properly be
called great expectations" He took
the rudest, sometimes the most abused
lives and revealed to them virtues and
qualities of which they had never
dreamed. He gave them a new vision
of what they might be, and compelled
them to achieve it.
OF all the worlds teachers He is the
greatest, because He is the most hopeful
1t is His spirit. His estimate of life, this
old world needs today. We have lin
gered too long in the shadows; we have
admitted too readily our defeat; We
have appraised too highly things ma
real meaning and purpose of life. We
can and we must survive every misfor-
tune and we will do it in the spirit of
one who, facing death was able to say:
I'VE are saved by hope"

The breathing spell" pledge OF the
President is likely to find itself cata-

campaign promise. A comparison OF

with his record as Chief Executive-par-
ticularly as those pledges related to gov

The tenor of the Roosevelt pronounce
ments of the last few weeks shows the
administration and the President on the
defensive. Concessions are made. Busi-
ness has clamored for two years for
some reassuring word from the White
House. 1t has waited until now. And
only when Mr.. Roy Howard calls to the
attention of the Chief Executive the
fact that some business men are honest
and that some of the honest business
men are displeased with, and even fear
full of, the Roosevelt administration and
program does a measure of reinsurance
come The storm. says the President, is

When the Supreme Court Of the
United States, in unanimous decision,
held the N. R. A. unconstitutional, and,
in effect, threatened other New Deal
legislation, the country took heart. That
decision marked turning point. 1t gave
the people assurance that the day OF
dictatorship, personal or legislative, had
been postponed.

HOPE
THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D. IL D. D. c. L.
BISHOP WASHINGTON,

In a notable letter addressed to an
ancient people the writer. speaking out
of an experience that had been stern
and exacting, affirmed: I'VE are saved
by hope" 1t is an arresting statement
and calls for reflection. On first con-
Sideration 1t seems an exaggeration.
That life is sustained and saved by hope
does not seem probable. There are Ger
tainly other and more conspicuous val
ues that contribute to its development
and satisfaction. A deeper and more
serious consideration of his statement
compels us to recognize its significance
and importance in the scheme Of life.
The hope element is vital factor in all
efficient and satisfying living. Every
life that comes into the world is born
with great expectations. From infancy
and childhood on to old age and the
latest day the stimulant to action is
founded in hope. We are always living
in expectation of better things If to-
day closes in deepening shadows and
darkness, there is a new morning ahead
that will afford us another opportunity
to redeem what we have lost. If today
is marked with failure, its lessons I'M
learned, we shall have another chance
tomorrow, when we shall prove our fit
ness and win our reward. To the youth
life is always to have its larger fulfill
ment, its higher attainment in the days
that lie ahead. Expectation is the foun-
dalton of all his dreams, the sure war
rant of success and achievement. 1t is
only his elders that seek to disilluSion
him with their lack of encouragement,
their unpromising forecasts.
The greatest incentive to achievement
is hope. 1t is the inspiration of the
student, the scientist, the artist the man
dealing with the hard. stern problems
of life. Edison working in his labora-
tory, on into the latest years of his life,
was always hoping, expecting that new
discoveries and greater ones awaited his
persistent toll and experiment. He
would never acknowledge defeat though
results were long in coming. Every man
who has blazed new trails, who has en-.
riched and benefited his fellows through
his labors and research, has felt the
urge to prosecute his work. even after
repeated failures. because within him.
self there was that which told him he
must ultimately succeed. The worlds
pathfinderS, its greatest benefactors,
have without exception been men of
this sort. Where would medicine and
surgery be were it not for the unfailing
patience and hopefulness Of those
courageous workers in the laboratory
who persisted and carried on when
every day added to their trials and null
tiplied their difficulties? They refused

to their historic home, and Psychologists,
tracing their course from West to East
through their architecture, have sup
posed that they came from India long
before the development Of the Buddhist
and Hindu religions-their deities were

than the period of the Rig Veda. When

Cook, first saw them they had a carved

possessed remarkable physical beauty
and strength. But they did not have
either the capacity to make successful
resistance to the invaders or the talent
to achieve pragmatic adjustment to the
new order instituted by their conquerors.
The chronicle is unhappy reading. A
modern writer has summarized the
tragedy in the phrase, White shadows
fell across the South Seas"

ton. Science has demonstrated that

perience with Europeans. Elementally.
they should have been competent to
survive. The fault, it appears, was a
cultural one. Isolated as they were for
so many centuries, they had too rigid
a psychology. The African chattel
transported over the Atlantic to slavery
in America was far better equipped to
preserve himself. The gift of humor,
possibly, protected him. In the case Of
his contemporary on the opposite side

choly was a characteristic failing.

Now here is verse that is safe for

In fact, on analysis close you will find
1t really means nothing at all.
It's perfectly innocent. word after word,
And even its letters are pure,
If you like it with any old gossip you've
heard
It's innocence cannot endure.
A vacuum Nature must ever disdain,
But believe. if you seek to recall
Ideas to put in this simple refrain,
1t is meant to mean nothing at all.

bookkeeping.
The first thing that strikes the eye
Is the apparent sharp decline in the
amount of money being paid out for
relief and for public works. Relief out
lays are down about 100000 for
two months compared with year ago.
Public works cost about s130,000,0 900 less
in those two months.
But little inquiry reveals that, on
orders from above, as much money as
possible was paid out during June in
order to start the new year in better
shape
Even with these decreased OUTLAWS for
relief and public works, the Federal
deficit for those first two months
amounted to about 5000 100000 instead
of the approximate $3.50. 900 for the
same period last year.
What accounted for the increase?
Chiefly, the figures show, some ex-
tensive banking operations by the Fed
eral Government
Thus the Commodity Credit Corp,
which loans money to farmers on corn
and cotton, paid out about $135, 000, 900
on these loans during the first two
months of this year where they were
collecting $50,00c.000 for Uncle Sam a
year ago.
And the r. F. c., which a year ago
took in $129 ,000, 900 more than it paid
out. this year paid out about S36 900 900
more than it took in. Lending activity
is more brisk
Unlike most other OUTLAWS, the dollars
that are disbursed by the r. F. c. and
the Commodity Credit Corp. stand
