was sounding the keynotes Of free
dom In unmistakable tones. he
was country lawyer who had
made an early marriage rather fool
ishly and was struggling to keep a
growing family in the necessities OF
life when, In 1853. he became
aroused In behalf of what was
known as "The Parsons Cause"
concerning the right Of the clergy
to receive the same price for their
tobacco as other colonists. In 1865
! Henry was elected to the Virginia
House of Burgesses. From the time
he took his seat he introduced act
after act defining the rights of the
colony, especially In the matter of
the obnoxious stamp tax. and,
against great opposition. carried all
of his resolutions through the sheer
force Of his logic and his eloquence.
This made Patrick Henry the
leader Of the colony, In many senses
of the word.
Patrick Henry came right by his
love of freedom. his historical sense
and power of oratory. For he was
q cousin of the historian, William
Robertson, of Scotland. and of the
mother of Lord Brougham. His
mother was a Winston of that noted
English family and his father saw
to Ii that he had classical edu-
cation and every possible advan-
tage In the way of proper learning.
In 1T74 Henry was foremost I'm

not only engages. but commands
the attention. and your passions
are no longer your own when he
addresses them. Put his eloquence
is the smallest part Of his merit.
He is. in my opinion. the first man

Construction League Seeks
to Hold Advantages
Gained Under N. R. A.

Seeking to preserve as many Of the
benefits obtained under N. R. A. COM
pulsory codes as possible, the Con-
struction League of the United States,
as the representative of leading or
ganizations in the construction field,
this week undertook the formation
Of a construction trade practice coun-
Gil composed of representatives of all
industries concerned with construc-
ton.
The purpose of the council, accord
ing to Col. John P. Hogan, chairman
of the league, which has its head
quarters here, will be to formulate a
set of fair trade practices and stand
ards for the industries. Action au-
thorizing its formation was taken at
meeting of the general assembly Of
the league at the Willard Hotel here
last Monday, called at the instance
of the American Institute of Archi-
tectS and the Producers Council, two
member groups.
The fair trade practices and stand
ards to be drawn will be intended,
Col. Hogan said, to provide a broad
general basis by which the construc-
ton industries can act in co-ordina-
ton both for the betterment of con-
ditionS within the industries and for
the establishment of higher standards
In industrial relations with the public.
Basis for Code Drafting.
No effort will be made to give
the standards the standing of VOL

can be drawn. both for the different
branches of the building industry and
for locally organized groups, he said.
A general statement to the con-
Struction industry, issued by the
league after the meeting of the gen.
eral assembly last Monday, declared:
mo industry can stand still. 1t
must move forward or fall backward.
Realizing, therefore, both the neces-
sity and timeliness for action, the
Construction League points the only
possible way to better chances for

til the tragic years of the ministry.
With what love and anxiety she
must have seen His life endan-
gered! Yet in all her wonder
ment and anxiety her loyalty
never failed, and when the last
hour came she followed the sad
procession to Calvary, and there
in the time of crucial need she
stood by the cross.
Possibly few readers of the New
Testament have sensed the tragic
reality of that statement, There
stood by the cross the mother of
Jesus" When one at all visualizes
the scene, he has opportunity to
see into the depths of a mothers
faith and a mothers love.
1T is in the light of all these
i later things that we must
read and study this mothers song,
the Magnificent. Here We can re-
alize the quality of the faith and
character of a mother who stood
in the background all through the
days of the Masters earthly life.
Here we can see the vision that
upheld her, and we can under
stand the worthiness of the one
chosen to be the mother CT the
King Of Kings and the Prince of
Peace. She ss2red the sacr.ocial
life and death of her Son; she
gave to the world the witness of a
beautiful and noble motherhood.
1t is no accident that wherever
the name of Mary is known, the
place of the mother is honored.
There has been no contrast
greater in history than in the po-
sition of woman where the Chris
tan faith has triumphed and
her position in lands and times
where the Christian Gospel. and
the Judaism out of which 1t came,
have been unknown.
