Uncle Mi6
Says: -
A Man in Trouble

No matter how uncouth a man
may be, if his character is firm
and he faces trouble like a man,
your heart warns to him.
Give newly met m a n a
chance to show his good qualities
before rejecting him as a friend.
Great fault of daydreaming
about the great achievements one
contemplates is that one is likely
to go to sleep.
Oft man doesn't wish to be
asked, what do you want for
dinner?" He likes to be sur
prised-agreeably, of course.
Enjoying You
How restful to feel that you have
only to sit and look pleasant to
make your friend enjoy your
presence.
Almost all ignorance is due to
the ignorant not wanting knowI-
edge. 1t is free.
Life is something much bigger
than human consciousness.
Socie+y's Gain
Solitude is not to be considered
solely from a selfish standpoint.
Society may profit much through
the frequent individual adoption
of it.
Nice people are people who are
polite and pleasant to you; and
it is next to impossible to make
you believe otherwise.
To get big job done, begin
working at it gradually and go on
ceaselessly.

The Bored Are Boring
a People of Outstanding Personality
Are Interested, and Never Blase

"VOUNG people of today" a
mother writes, "seem to re-
gard it as sign of immaturity
or weakness to be thrilled with
anything. Their idea of So
phistication is to appear bored
with everything, the having-done-
all-seen-all attitude that finds it
very difficult to be impressed with
anything. 1t is most annoying to
find that anything you can offer
them for a good time seems to be
inadequate, that the thrills of your
own youth cannot be repeated for
them. It seems to me they miss
a great DEAL"
would point out to this mother,
says a woman writer of interna-
tional note, that naturally we can
not expect that the thrills of our
youth will equally impress h e
young people of this day. So
much that came to us gradually
as colorful experiences are part
of their daily background. But
there is something definitely true
in what she says of a pose, of a
deliberate care never to seem i'm
pressed, of a pretense at being
bored.
1t may interest such young
people to know that that super
sophisticate, G.. K. Chesterton,
said there are no bores, only
people who are bored" In other
words there can be nothing inter-
esting about a person who is
bored!
That takes us right down to a
bedrock fact that can be observed
if we will note people of outstand-

us THERE NOT A CAUSE?"
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN D. d, IL d. D. l..
BISHOP WASHINGTON.

There are some stories in the Bible
that have SO appealed to the imagination
Of men the world over that they are
universally known. No story has SO
caught and held the mind Of youth as
that which is commonly known as the
story Of David and Goliath. The boy and
the giant and their combat have riveted
the attention Of young and old alike. The
story really marks the emergence Of
David, the shepherd boy. upon the larger
scenes Of human action, and the descrip-
ton Of the whole incident Is one of the
most fascinating and dramatic in the
Old Testament.
Three Of Davids elder brothers were
fighting with the army Of Israel against
the Philistines. It was while the battle
was on that Jesse, the father of David,
said to his son. Take now for thy
brethren this parched corn and these ten
leaves and run to the camp to thy
brethren, and look how thy brethren fare
and take their pledge" Thus 1t happened
that David came into the camp at most
critical time. for Israel and the Philis-
tines had put the battle In array, army
against army" A superman Of unusual
physical proportions and strength had

man to meet him In mortal combat, the
issue Of which should determine the place
Of leadership. We read that all the
men Of Israel when they saw the man,
ned from him and were sore afraid" It
was at this juncture that the boy David
made the simple inquiry. What shall be
done to the man that killeth this Philis-
tine and taketh away the reproach from
Israeli" In anger, his elder brother
replied, why earnest thou hither? And
with whom hast thou left those few sheep
in the wilderness? Thou art come down
that thou mightest see the battle" And
David answered, what have ! now
done? Is there not cause?"
The persistence and the enthusiasm
OF the youth brought him eventually into
the presence Of Saul, the king. Once
again he was admonished by the king.
Thou art not able to go against this
Philistine to fight him; for thou art but
a youth and he man Of war" 1t was in
response to this that David with complete
assurance told Saul of the strength he
had displayed while protecting his
fathers sheep from the beasts that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1936-11-08

preyed upon them: "Thy servant slew
both the lion and the bear, and this
Philistine shall be as one OF them, seeing
he hath defied the armies Of the living
God" Saul Immediately ordered that
David should be equipped with his
armor, but the lad found it too weighty
for him, and In the simplicity Of his
youth "he took his staff, and his sling
was in his hand" and he went forth
girded in his native strength with the
assurance Of the favor Of God into the
Valley Of Elah to meet Goliath. The
challenge of the giant did not dismay
him, and David said in response to it:
Thou contest to me with q sword and
with a spear and with a shield, but
come to thee in the name Of the Lord Of
Hosts, the God Of the armies Of Israel,
whom thou hast defied." "And David
put his hand in his bag and took thence
q stone and slang 1t and smote the
Philistine in his forehead. and he fell
upon his face to the earth"
The whole incident is suggestive Of that
word spoken to another, mot by might
nor by power. but by my spirit, saith the
Lord" It Is suggestive Of the further
fact that what man Is counts for more
than what he has in lfes great battle.
Equipment Is important, but it is by no
means sovereign. Goliath represents
human proves and physical strength at
their maximum; David Is the incarna-
ton Of those qualities and virtues natu-
rally and normally developed, sustained
and supported by the consciousness Of
Gods presence.
The youth on o. land going forth to
their conquests in any field of service
need to remember that, plus equipment
and training, the largest asset they
possess is what they have of virtue Of
character. When the late Mr.. Morgan
was on the witness stand before Federal
committee in this city some years ago he
made the specific declaration that the
one thing he reckoned with in dealing
with men was their character; that to
him this meant more than all the COL
lateral they could furnish.
Christ before Plate seems incense
quential and impotent when compared
with the Roman power that sought to
Judge Him. But the Roman power has
passed away, while the victorious MAJ
arene has laid His scepter upon the
hearts Of men the world over.

Opportunity, history again provides
us with the materials for estimating our
position in the procession Of spiritual
evolution. We know the record Of eras
in which no prophets appeared or, more
accurately, that Of periods in which the
prophets were neglected or denied.
Also, we know what we deem to have
been the errors Of past millenniums. But
are we completely responsive to the
necessity to make worthier demon
stration on our own part?
Each day brings its particular chal-
lenge to the soul Of man. Rejected, such
a test portends Of tragedy. It Is self
evident that the future will be built on
the past, and it likewise Is patent that
our present is speeding away into its
place in the irretrievable yesterday with
each tick of the clock. We are making
history, for good or Ill, constantly-his-
tory in that sense Of the word which
includes not only the chronicles Of
things done or things undone, bound
volumes on . shelf, but, as well, the un-
written annals Of things which we have
no opportunity to consider except as
we are willing and able to project our
selves beyond the span Of our own lives
into the tomorrow Of our race. We can
govern our children's fate to the extent
of furnishing them with high example.
And by our example. high or low as 1t
may be, we shall be judged.
Specifically, how are we meeting the
spiritual demand Of the present hour?
Are we failing? Some signs indicate
an affirmative answer; others, fortu-
nately, q negative. We probably are
winning some victories; we certainly are
risking some defeats. But even the sad
dest of our losses perhaps may prove
to be gains-if we do not repeat them
too often.

Fifty Years Ago
In The Star
Some surprising upsets occurred in the

some surprising upSets occurred in the
State and congressional elections in this
country fifty years ago,
fontlcal concerning which The Star
Changes. Of November S, 1886, says:
1T Is not only partisan
disintegration that is going on in the mill
Of national politics. Sectional disinte-
grafton Is yet more rapid and vastly
more important process. We shall soon
forget that we ever had solid South
and the fling Of Southern politicians
against the spoils-seeking and principle
ignoring North has already lost its point.
It Is dreadful thing for the old school
of party warriors to see their weapons
broken and their tactics falling into con-
tempt, but the people seem to find
amusement and comfort in 1t. Mime
sofa has offset in effect, II not in num-
bers, the revolution in Virginia Massa-
chusetts. though still Republican
State, has doubled her Democratic rep
resentation and sent to the rear one of
her former Democratic members because
he stood aloof from the progressive wing
Of his party. New Hampshire has split
her delegation in twain and Connecticut
has increased her list Of Democrats, while
North Carolina Is moving up in the Re-
publican scale. Indiana has exchanged
her Democratic majority for one of the
opposite omplexion-not so large, it is
true, but sufficient to place her in the
column Of Republican States. Ohio has
taken longer step in the same direction
and the jar has crossed the Ohio River
and been felt in Kentucky.
1T is a wholesome sign-this segrega-
ton and aggregation in new forms. In
nature it is the sign of healthy life.
When such changes cease, the body,
which was formerly vigorous and active
drops into decay. The worst thing that
can happen to parties or to sections or
to country is to stand still"
The Government having completed its
purchase of the ground chosen for the

Library Site. for construction were
begun fifty years ago.
The Star of November II, 1886, says:
Red flags were floating in front Of
many Of the houses in the Library site
on Capitol Hill this morning. and during
the day an auctioneer and the usual
crowd of bidders moved about from nag
to flag. In the cases of a number of
houses where sales were not effected
under the recent invitation for proposals
the auctioneer today sold OF the interior
woodwork and fixtures. The Library
Commission reserves the brick walls and
the timbers needed to hold the walls in
place. Many of the houses of which the
interior or viscera have been sold are
still occupied. The fixtures in one shabby
house were sold today for $500. The
old colored woman who occupied the
tenement, when the crowd moved on,
came dancing out, apparently in great
glee, singing out, Lore, honey, they've
sold me out TO- TO dollars"

Frances Swiss Border.

Although Belgium will not immedi-
ately renounce her collective security
obligations under the League covenant
or withdraw from her military alliance
with France, the Paris government, ever
fearful of the German invasion menace,
has decided to take fresh precautions to
guard any and all borders across which
Reich armies might seek again to violate
French soil. Envisaging possible light
ming Nazi attack, Defense Minister Dalai
dier outlines 100000, o0o-franc plan for
immediate fertilization of the Belgian
frontier, in addition to extension of the
great Maginot line of concrete, steel and
guns along the Swiss border.
The Belgian frontier defense area will
stretch to Dunkirk and include q system
of waterways for flooding invaded land.
The works projected on Frances Swiss
side will be in the region Of the Jura
Mountains, the chain which lies between
the two countries. where valley through
the range gives straight and relatively
easy access to France from German ter
ritory. The protective arrangements con-
tiguous to Switzerland will cover the
Huningen region, which has been de-
militarized for a century, and possibly
the so-called Basic gap. The program
frankly springs from French fears that
Reich army. actuated, as the Kaiser's
legions were in 1914, by the theory that
necessity knows no law" might fiout
Switzerland's neutrality just as ruth
lessly as Belgiums was set at naught
Against that contingency the French
intend to take time by the forelock. They
are preparing to meet q German flank
onslaught, whether it comes by way of
Belgium or Switzerland.
Both those sturdy little countries, 1t
goes without saying, may be depended
upon to give rugged account Of them
selves in safeguarding their neutrality.
Belgium has launched an extensive new
military program designed to strengthen
her capacity to prevent another German
army from hacking its way" across her
domain. The land Of william Tell,
always alive to the perils of embodiment
in a European conflict involving Ger
many, Is determined to maintain its
small, but highly effective, defense estab-
ishment at the peak Of efficiency. No
German army will find the Alpine re-
public easy prey.
French plans apparently contemplate
no immediate danger from Germany's
direction. The Paris general staff finds
that while the Reich rearmament scheme
has made immense and rapid progress
in motorization, the new army as q
whole will not reach its scheduled footing
until some time next year. At present
not less than eighty per cent of the
existing establishment Is massed in the
vicinity of the French, Swiss and Bel
gian borders, including the remilitarized
Rhineland, while the remaining twenty
per cent is near Poland and Czechoslo-
vakia. This disposition Of German
forces. plus recent bellicose utterances
IN Berlin by General Goering and
Mussolinis Nominations at Milan, give
special point to French plans for estab-
fishing watch near the Alps. The Swiss
border fertilization program may well
have been called forth directly by the
truculent outbursts in Germany and
Italy and the disquieting possibilities
which they conjure up.
