countries, speaking so different languages, foregath-

International boy scout "jamboree." 1t was probably
the largest crowd of youngsters ever assembled any
where since the Children's Crusade, when the Jealous
youth OF all Europe set forth on foot for Jerusalem
to ~recapture the Holy Sepulchre from the moslems.
Certainly il was the most representative international
gathering OF youth ever held.

who understands the camaraderie of boyhood can
doubt that every boy knew what the other boys who

Time Out to Deliberate

The government of this federation of states has
been far from perfect on many occasions. Its imper-
fections have been emphasized in more recent times
when often it has seemed totally unable to deal with
the complexities of our rapidly developing modern
civilization.
State governments have been little better-in
fact. sometimes they have seemed less trustworthy in
stitutions to control the lives of the people than the
federal government. State legislatures have been cas-
Ter TO influence for those who would benefit most by
controlling them, state governors have often been
men OF inferior caliber unfit for their executive posi-
lions.
Imperfect as they are. however, our federal and
state governments represent the power of the people
governing themselves. 1t is the people who elect legis-
lative representatives who presumably are as close to
their constituency as possible in such a huge country,
whose acts are considered expressions of the will of
the majority. Such lawmaking by chosen representa-
tives of all the nation has been the goal for which
people fought through all the ages of history. yet not
until this nation was founded was it attained, i'm
perfect though the realization yet be.
Now. however. it is proposed to transfer many of
the lawmaking powers from the state and from the
federal congress to the executive branch of the gov
eminent. The supreme court bill was one major often
sve in the four-point campaign to vest In the preGi-
dent many Of the powers of congress and the courts.
The wages and hours bill is another, because it mere

commission the power to make its own regulations
and enforce them. The reorganization bill is another,
because 1t would r%eorganize the government, not so
much to ban the spoils system but in favor of in
creased civil service to set up an inner secretariat
with increased powers in the legislative field. The wa
ter and flood control plan, for seven little TWAS"
is the fourth, seeking economic control of the entire
nation through commissions responsible not to con-
gress but to the president.
The supreme court bill, first wing in this new
governmental structure, has been defeated, but now
the president dumps the others in the lap of congress
with must orders to enact them in a hurry before
ending the season and going home. The bills, howev-
er, are complicated and require deer. study before
they will be understood by the congress which is
asked to pass them. More important. however, they
would legislate this nation into a more powerful CEN
tralized federal government than was ever dreamed
by its founders, more powerful thap I'll but a few
even dream of now.
Maybe the nation wants the presidents program,
but so far reaching is it and so important are the
powers that would be delegated that congress will do
well to take a summer recess so it can study carefully
all phases of the program before attempting to cast
intelligent votes on the subject.

God Frees a People
Exodus 16:11-2O.
Golden Text: James 1917.

Golden Text: James 1:17.
The Journey of Gods people
through the wilderness was one Of
continual hardship. At first they
had no water and therefore chided
Moses with the ~plaintive query
What shall we drink" Then they
lacked bread, and hunger sorely
vexed their jaded spirits. In bitter
ness Of soul they complained against
Moses to Aaron, but their wall OF
woes was really directed against
God Himself whose goodness they
had so quickly forgotten.
In answer to their cry the Lord
sent a mysterious, white food called
mamma with the favour Of honey.
Note how generous was this provi-
Dental visitation, for the mama
was better than the bread they had
wanted. But we must not suppose
that this manna was a miracle in
the sense Of being a new and ex-
ceptional product systematically
created. For it seems clear that II
was a species of tamarisk which
grows to this day In the Sinaitic
Peninsula. But this natural origin
does not mai the wonder Of it, for
all food, essentially, Is a heavenly
gift.
Three lessons are taught by this
quaint old story. First of all, the
sanctity of the Sabbath day is
stressed. No mama fell on the Sab
bath, but to atone for this lack,
twice as much fell the day before.
1t is plain that the Sabbath was
precious to those Jewish pilgrims.
Secondly, the principle is laid down
that everyone must do his fair share
of the common work. All partici-
pated in the collecting Of the mamma.
Best of all the story reminds us
that we are dependent upon God
for the miracle of our daily bread.
Every good and perfect gift is
from above" as our Golden Text
declares. And Jesus teaches us, in
His model prayer, to say "Give us
this day u daily bread" the i'm
plication Of which is that our nour-
ishment, which we so often take for
granted, is really a blessed donation
from our Maker.

The first session of the 18th Con-
gress is now at the point of adjourn
ment as the 150th anniversary of
the Nation is about to be celebrated
by the observation of the Constitu-
tional Sesquicentennial. 1t will go
down in political history not so
much for what 1t has done as for
what it refused to do.
1t refused to grant power to the
President to enlarge the Supreme
Court, and now its members are
anxious TO get back home and put
their ears to the gsound, to find out
whether their constituents will
stand by them, or whether the Pres
ident still has, as he believes, the
overwhelming support of the voters.
All of the Representatives and a
third of the Senators come up for
reelection next year. In the South
ern states, where victory at the
Democratic primaries has always
been tantamount to election, they
have only half a year or so in which
to build their fences before the
Spring primaries.
That is one reason for opposition
TO the suggested recess until Octo-
Der, so that the Administrators
proposals could be cleared off the
slate and the road cleared for the
big business Of the second session,
which is tax revision. Another rea-
son is that if they took a recess, the
>boys would have to pay their own
railroad fares home and back,
where as If they adjourn they can
collect ten cents a mile from the
Treasury, both ways.
Future of New Deal
1t is believed strategy of mem
bers who have gone counter to the
President is that they will tone
down their opposition only if they
are trampled on by the folks back
home, but will put up a strong fight
to swing public sentiment their way
unless they find that course hope
less. Those who have stood by the
Administration are equally eager to
earn at first hand whether they
have helped or hampered their own
political fortunes. What they find
out will determine the temper of the
session which will begin next Janu-
airy.
The whole future of the New Deal
is wrapped up in the answe to the
question whether the electorate still
stands overwhelmingly behind the
President or backs up Congress in
its bid for independence. Thus the
second session of this Congress may
well be of even greater political i'm
portance than the first has been.
Sino-Japanese Situation
The n chance of something like
harmony, observers believe, is that
the fortunes of the United States
may become so involved in the war
situation in Asia as to focus public
interest and attention upon the war
to the exclusion of all domestic mat
ters. Nobody publicly goes so far as
to even breathe the possibility that
the United States may have to take
a hand-on China's side-in the
conflict between Japan and China.

partment Is very much concerned,

MORSE MUSICIANS
ARE STUDIED !. HERE

On October 26, 1887 the Mnsie
s.r.snelig o1 the Woman's Club
lof Red Lodge met at the home Of
Mrs. s. M. Souders with Mrs.
Adams presiding as chairman.
The music program for the eve
ming was on Scandinavian music
ians; especially Grieg, Soderman,
Gade, Sinding, and Palmrgen. Fid-
ella Page Morrow was the program
leader.
The existence of a characteristic
Scandinavian music began with
Niels Velhelm Gade (1817-1890)
and Edward Hagerup Grieg (1843-
1907). Gade is still the outstanding
figure in Danish music. August Sod
erman (1832-1876) is perhaps the
best known of the Swedish music
ians. But Grieg is the foremost
composer. ever produced by the
four Scandinavian countries with
the possible exception of the Fin
nish Jan Sibelius who is still liv-
ing. Next to Grieg is Christian
Sinding of Norway. He is still writ
ing his melodious songs and piano
pieces.
The following program repre-
sented a number of Scandinavian
composers: Leona Lampi, a Junior
High School pupil, played "Sol-
vejg's Song", by Grieg. 1t is in
the second Peer Gynt Suite and is
sometimes called Sunshine Song"
Mrs. Morrow sang a Swedish folk
song, "Necken's Polska" by Arvid
Aszelius. Necken was legendary
river dweller in Sweden. Mrs. Joe
Enrico gave a talk on the music
of Selim Palmgren still living in
Finland and she played his "May-
time" on the piano. Fredrik Pacius
(1809-1891) wrote "Suomi's Song"
which is the National Song of Fin
land. Mrs. Mary J. johnson sang
the song in English and also in
Finnish. Of the many spring time
compositions 1.-THE Rustic OF
