KINGSTON, Ont, Aug. 1S
G.N.SD. President Roosevelt,
standing on Canadian ground, an
nounced TO the world today that
the United States will not stand
idly by if domination Of Canadian
soil is threatened by any other
empire"
In cap and gown as he received
an honorary degree from Queens
College, the President emphasized
what some observers interpreted
as future extension of the Mon.
roe Doctrine and an inferenttal
notice that the United States and
the British Empire might again
be considered allies in any wide.
spread outbreak of hostility.
Later in the dag Mr.. RooSe-
Delt. dedicGting the neW inter-
national bridge across the st.
Laurence RiUer, urged full de-
Uelopnsent of the St. Laurence
waterway project for "unQues-
toned economic UGlue to both
the United States and Canada"
Acclaimed by Crowd
A crowded stadium gave en-.
thusiastic support as Mr.. Roose-
welt evaluated Americana Canadian
relations and touched unmistak-
ably on American resentment Of
wars, undeclared and otherwise.
While Canadian Premier Mac
Kenzie King stood by, the PreSi-
dent said:
I'VE as good neighborS are
true friends because we main
tain our rights with frankness.
because we refuse to accept the
twists of secret diplomacy. be-
cause we settle our disputes by
consultation and because we
discuss our common problems
in the spirit Of common good.
1--WE seek to be Scrupulously
fair and helpful not only in our
relations with each other but
each of US at home in our rela-
tions with our own people.
Peoples Opinions
But there is one process
which we certainly cannot
change and probably ought not
to change. This is the feeling
which ordinary men and women
have about events which they
can understand. We cannot
prevent our people from having
an opinion in regard to wanton
brutality. in regard to undemo-
cratic regimentation. in regard
to misery inflicted on helpless

The modest youth became an arro-
CANT, jealous. vindictive man. His
strength and beauty were in his
physical body, and not in his moral
nature. Character and conviction
were lacking.
Inflated egotism is not confined to
rulers. Shop foremen. village pooh
bahs, social leaders," newly-rich
men, athletic heroes, all sorts and
conditions of persons follow the Saul
route to disgrace and disaster. A
first lesson to be drilled into the
minds of youth is embodied in the
scriptural word: Not to think Of
himself more highly than he ought
to think" The truly great are made
humble by responsibility; the second
rate swell up to the proportions of
the French king who cried, Il am
the state
Saul slumped into egotism when
invested with the kingship. Every
widely-experienced newspaper man
can tell tales of modern Sauls-little
men in big places. Indeed, one Of
the teachings of experience is the
smallness of many great" men. and
the essential greatness of many COM
mon people. Saul's portrait hangs in
the gallery of everyday life.
The End Tests All.
The beginning of Saul's kingship
was glorious; its end. tragedy. AS
DR.. James H. Snowden wrote: What
counts it not how a mans career
begins, but how it ends Matthew
began as a publican, and ended as
an apostle; Judas began as an apostle
and ended a traitor. The world re-
members men not by what they
started out to be, but by what they
became
Self-inflation, with attendant ar
rogance and reputation Of the eter-
nal, moral and spiritual qualities
which are essential to real great
ness, wrecked Sauls life. When sent
to destroy Israers old enemy he
reserved King Agag to adorn his
own triumph; and he saved the best
of the spoil for himself and his
officers, though he pretended it was
for sacrifice. When he met Samuel
he unctuously exclaimed that he had
fulfilled the command of Jehovah.
What meanth then this bleating
Of the sheep in mine ears and the
lowing Of the oxen which hear?"
same the penetrating reply of the
prophet. Lies cannot be hid; they
simply beget a brood of other futile
lies to buttress them. It is law OF
life that exposure always awaits the
liar. So to the presumptuous king
came the doom of the Lord Hath
Jehovah as great delight in burnt
offerings and sacrifices as in obey
ing the word of Jehovah? Behold,
to obey is better than sacrifice, and
to hearken than the fat Of the lambs

word of Jehovah, He hath also re-
jected thee from being king"
Doomed. Saul yet had many ex-
periences, especially with David, be-
fore he died a suicide on the battle
field with the victorious Philistines.
