 Prayer of Confession
 God, our Heavenly Father, we acknowledge before Thee in deep contrition of heart that we have not sought the ways of peace, neither for ourselves nor for our neighbors still less for the world. Forgive us, we pray, and give us an hunger and thirst for peace. Teach us to seek and labor for peace peace within ourselves and with Thee, in our homes, and for our land in relation to the peoples of the world. Help us to believe in thy promises of peace, and so to live and work that thy way of life may speedily be known and practiced by all men. In the name of Him, we ask it, whose name is Prince of Peace, Amen"
 "Spears Into Pruning Hooks
 Text for the program was taken from Isaiah:
 For unto us child is born, unto us a son is given, and the govern ment shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Won derful Counsellor, Mighty God, Ev- erlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
 And he will judge among the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples;
 And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks;
 Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
 Neither shall they learn war any more" M
 Prayer for the year to come, as led by Mrs David Waggoner, was as follows:
 That the consciousness of the sin and of the wastefulness of war may be deepened both in the indi- vidual and in nations;
 That the nations now at warrior on the verge of war, may pause and consider their attitude, turning to pueace, even if it may seem to mean loss of dignity and prestige;
 That the Church, on the repre- sentative on earth of the Prince of Peace, may take it's stand firmly and decidedly against war of any and every kind, and in favor of peaceful methods of settling all problems that may lead to war;
 That we, as individuals. may live

YARD Man Inventor
Of Cutting Tool

Until 1916 the Navy Yard had
to purchase all turbine wheels for
torpedoes from private companies,
but thanks to Frank A. Koontz,
of 800 South Carolina Ave. S. E.,
they are now made in the yard at
a great saving.
The difficulty had been that the
yard had no tool with which to
cut the buckets in the turbine
whools, but with an invention de-
vised by Mr.. Koontz this could
be done at the yard.
Before his invention, even the
outside firms took from 18 to 20
hours to cut a single bucket, but
with the new machine the same
work can be done at the yard in
seven hours.
In addition to the time savings,
the machine devised by Mr.. Koontz
made perfect wheels.
Mr.. Koontz, now 70, entered his
apprenticeship in WayneSboro, Pa,
in 1885, and came to the Washing
ton Navy Yard in 1904. He served
at the yard until his retirement in
1881, during which time he was.
supervisor in the tool shop and
was a toolmaker and designer Of

so strongly worded about the mon
archy since the days Of Queen
Victoria's temporary unpopularity,
served to set the country by the
ears.
It was felt that the King has
had it forcibly brought home to
him that no matter how great his
personal popularity may be, a con-
siderable portion of the nation is
out of sympathy with his oft-re-
peated declaration that his private
life is his own and not a matter
for the public so long as he fulf1ls
his duties as monarch to the best
of his abilities.
Comment by Press
In this connection, the Biz
mingham Post had this to say:
"The Bishop of BradfOrd'S
must be assumed to have fully
satisfied himself that gossip,
rumOr and highly circumstan-
tial tale-telling as to one par
ticular phase Of his majeSty's
private life is not without its
basis in solid truth.
"And he must be allowed to
speak but the truth himself
when he gives warning that in
the eyes Of the people Of this
country as in the eyes Of sub
jects of the crown overseas, the
private and public life of the
King Emperor are inSeparable."
KING GEORGE CITED
The Manchester Guardian, after
stating that last Fridays cabinet
meeting was concerned with do
nestle problem that involves {.
relations between the King and his
ministers and his readiness to oe
guided. . by the premier" de-
clared that no doubt can be held
as to the validity Of such a prin-
ciple.
The Guardian then proceeded to
invoke the name Of King George
as an object lesson for his son.
