Two Minute Sermon
(Bv THOMAS HASTWELL

WHO KNOWETH: In the book
of Esther we read the dramatic
story of the plot OF Haman to des-
troy the Jews and the heroic effort
of Queen Esther to save her people.
We recall that when she shrunk
from appearing before the king, be-
cause to do so might mean her
death, Moredecai, after reminding
her that her failure to do so might
result not only in the death OF her
people, but her family as well, said:
"Who knoweth whether thou art
come to the kingdom for such a
time as this?" I've thought a good
deal of this as from time to time in
the history of the world, great
characters have appeared, men who
by their courage and force and
genius have changed the destinies
of peoples and the history of the
world. | think of Moses when the
angel of the Lord appeared to him,
herder of sheep, and laid at his
feet the challenge of the redemp-
ton of his people from Egyptian
bondage, his hesitant acceptance
and his great achievement for his
people. | think of the fishermen be-
side the sea toiling with their nets
when the call came for them to
come and be fishers of men. think
of Paul on that memorable day on
the road to Damascus when he was
struck blind and the great charac-
ter of an inspired genius threw Its
force into the cause Of Christ and
blazed a trail on the far flung
frontier of the heather world. Each
one, it seems to me, in the light of
history was brought to the king
dom for such a time. To each one
of us there comes a time when we
are called upon to take a stand for
this or that, or against this or
against that. We may shrink from
the task. we may feel that we are
inadequate for it, or that it will not
make any difference whether we ac-
cept or reject the responsibility. It
may be that we have been brought
TO this place for this very thing,
because it is the thing our life
most needs. 1t may be that in the
doing of this thing we fulfill our
destiny in the great scheme of Gods
purpose in the universe.

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Aug. 26, 1581-Franz Halls was born
at Antwerp, where he began attract
ing attention as painter before he
was 20. He attracted more attention,
however, as drunkard and wife
beaten, and he was looked upon by
most respectable people with CON
tempt because he only wanted to
paint, feasting and carousing.
His pictures wouldn't sell, and his
furniture and household utensils
would, so the latter were what the
sheriff disposed OF to pay Halls debts.
He died in poverty.
But his knowledge of drunkards
and gluttons have made him an inn
mortal. The MARI elous vivacity and
spirit of his subjects made him the
founder of notable school of paint

whose works sell today for as much

Aug. 26, 1915 (and 27th)-Battle

force probably would have been an
initiated and the Revolution crushed,
had not 400 Marylanders charged the
British with bayonets and sacrificed
themselves to check the enemy for
an hour and enable the main body of
the routed army to escape the island
and destruction.
Negligent textbook writers have
made the charge of the British Light
Brigade at Balaklava well known to
U. S. children, yet have failed to tell
them about the charge of Americas

Maryland's 400 charged "into the

five times. Only so survived.

New York, Aug. 26.-Dear Diary:
There is one thing about writing dill
gently In diary every day which 1
nave not seen Observed anywhere:
the Scribbling, if undertaken conscien-
tiously, takes up so much time and
energy that there is little room left
IN life for the scandalous goings-
On which make diaries burnable.
4 think that Mr.. Pepys-yea, and
even Miss Aston, too-must have been
constrained to manufacture few
pecadiloes, in a literary way, just to
fill out chapters, for surely most of
the time they were in the study COM
posing chastely. Try writing a
thousand words or more a day and
See!.
But 1 wonder what the modern
crop OF chatter-slingers would have
done without Pepys!. . Every one of
us has, at one time or another, Dor
rowed heavily from his dusty whim-
sizes for our stint. And yet I don't
think the redoubtable Samuel Would
have been happy incarnated as 1896
New Yorker. He was a provincial
and a conservative soul and I have
ed a Troy. L see him as a business
man inveighing against the waste of
politicoes, perhaps even a member of
the Liberty League with many of
the bright columnsmiths, who find
his long-dry ink so captivating, cry
ing out against him for his old-fash-
Toned tenets.
To the French Casino and a chat
with a personable young man, named
Zdenka Koubka, who until recently
believed himself to-, be a woman!
Indeed, as a woman he won the 300
meter run in the 1882 Olympic games
But now, following an operation
in his native Czechoslovakian. he is
become a man and will marry his
childhood sweetheart 49,. . All this
strange and slightly incredible bust
ness has got him a job in the mon
ster cabaret, where he runs against
time" on a treadmill . L had intend
ed to do an interview with Mr.
Koubka, but 1 found waiting upon
him another Central Press writer and
he begged me not to duplicate his
beat . And I consented.
Took a drive across the Tri-Boro
Bridge, to show visitor the marvel
of it's construction, but found several
thousand other motorist had conceiv-
ed the same idea and the going was
slow at the approaches and later in
Queens. . AS usual, the bridge was
gay with couples strolling across its
six-mile reach. And cutting thro-
ugh Harlem and the Spanish colony
1O0fh oy,Ix Axyo
had to come to halt and back out
of narrow thoroughfare completely
damned by celebrants with Spanish
flags and bonfires making merry. -.
Undoubtedly a fete in connection with
the grim matters in the homeland
now, but I was so intent at twisting
the wheel that I had no chance to
make out whether the gathering was
on the side of the Whites or the
Reds.
