 pr. walker said in part: we no longer bestow the name of Jesus upon our children. It has become too sacred. We do not use the name of Christian. In bearing that name we ought either to change OUT name or our reputation"
 "on this First Sunday in Advent I am suggesting that we remind our. selves day by day between now and Christian of the name of Jesus. With oil our frantic haste to prepare for Christmas, let Us prepare our hearts for the wonder and the glory of the Christmas story. Let us read Q few verses day by day if1 old Testa. inent prophecy regarding the com. ing Messiah. Let us study day by day some of the great masterpieces of Christian Art. Let Us during this Advent season name the name of Jesus.

terms and apply 8 few scientific names to unknown forces. The truth Is that names are influential and important. Giving 6 proper or ape propriate name Is one of the first steps in the growth of knowledge or personality.
 "The import of names is nowhere more evident than in the Bible. The names of many of the worthies of both the Old Testament and the New were changed as their charac. ters were changed. The Jews of the Old Testament showed their refer ence for God by refusing to use His name. Scholars today cannot be quite certain what name they used for God because in the old Hebrew manu- scripts they wrote down only the consonants when they made refer- ence to the deity. There are long lists of names in the Bible here and there which are difficult to read and

The Abraham of the Old Testament was the very father of the faithful, the patriarch Of patriarchs, the i1oblest exemplar of faith in God, unknown and yet well known. No American further more needs to be reminded of the noble association of this name with our history.
 Tn ancient times primitive men believed that by naming an unseen force or power they might control it. If we think this rather childish we ought to remember that there are some of our contemporaries who seem to think they have solved all mysteries and explored ell knowi- edge if they can use 6 few scientific

That Man Aaoin.

At his Hyde Park press conference
on Friday the President told the re-
porters that business man had told
him the Senate's failure to act on
neutrality will slow up the finest
little economic boom we have had in
some time or words to that effect.
One news report described the fellow
as IAN unidentified investment
banker" and another said he Is "a
prominent business executive"
The Presidents informant remains
unknown, but one may hazard a
guess as to who he is. He is probably
that same fellow about whom the
President told the Retailers National
Forum last May. This was also a
business man" who calls on the
President and demands that the
budget be balanced. The President al
ways says: How" And sometimes
the business man replies: How should
I know? That is your job" and some
times he says: Cut the, budget
straight through ten per cent or
twenty per cent" And then the Presi-
dent takes from his desk the "fat
book" which is the budget and the
business man confesses in confusion
that he has never read it and agrees
with the President, item by item,
that the budget cannot be cut.
It's helpful to have a fellow like
that around. He always seems to hit
the nall on the head.

A Flexible Armov

With view to deriving the widest
possible benefits from the proposed
District National Guard Armory at
the foot of East Capitol street, Off
cials in charge of the project are con-
sidering plans for type of structure
that could be adapted readily to
auditorium purposes Through CO.
operation of National Guard authori-
ties, the large drill hall, under this
plan. would be made available-when
military schedules permitted-for
large sports events, conventions and
other functions.
The new armory. to cost $780,
600, finally was authorized at this
session of Congress after members Of
that body had expressed indignation
over the disgraceful condition of the
present home of the Guard. in the
old National Hotel, at Sixth street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV. Half
a million dollars was allotted for
drawing plans and beginning con-
struction. In order to make the
armory conform to arena and audi
torium requirements, it has been sug-
geSted that removable seats be pro-
vided for the main floor of the drill
hall and that balcony seating per-
haps six thousand persons be added.
If this arrangement can be effected,
the armory thus could be made to
serve much wider community pur-
pose than a strictly military drill hall.
An armory of this flexible design
would not, of course, obviate the
necessity for providing the National
Capital ultimately with a national
auditorium of imposing proportions
and with facilities adequate for major
conventions, inaugural balls and
other great national gatherings.
Such an auditorium long has been
needed in Washington. This Is an
entirely separate project and one
that should not be confused with the
commendable plans for converting
the armory into meeting hall of
necessarily restricted usage.

A REGULATED PROGRAM
By the Right Rev. James Freeman D. d. ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop OF WASHINGTON

Christ recognized the indispensableness
of an ordered and orderly life. He re-
allied that soul development werS along
with body development, that protracted
toll meant undeveloped bodies and
starved souls. When He spoke of the
abundant life," He was thinking of it
in terms Of fullness, of symmetrical
growth and the attainment of its higher
ends and purposes. Il have made man
every whit whole" was His comment as
He saw one fully restored. He was ever
dealing with program that contemplate
ed the realization Of mans highest ideals
the attainment of the fullest, completest
life. Periods for rest and recreation.
what we commonly call vacations" are
consistent and essential parts of we'll
ordered living. They are not luxuries,
but necessities; not for the privileged
few, but for the underprivileged many.
How can we come to the higher levels of
living If there is no time for reflection,
no time for fellowship, no time for body
and soul building?
These are questions that cut deep into
an economy of life that is sound and
sane and that concerns our social, eco
nomic and religious well-being. One
of the real purposes of Sunday as day
of rest is that it gives time for check
up and an appraisal OF life's meaning
One Of the things that has contributed
to unrest and to lowering Of the moral
standards Of life, is the wrong use of this
day of rest and the wrong use of times
for leisure and the recreation of body
and soul. High-tensioned living issues
inevitably result in lowered vitality, in an
impaired mind and spiritual stagnation.
Along with all our planning we need to
restudy economy in the use of time. Liv-
ing by the clock, running these sensitive
human machines on prescribed sched-
ules, thinking only of getting and spend
ing. leads to inef1iciency and an early
decline Of faculties and powers.
One of the most conspicuous reasons
for our confused state of mind and for
the uncertainty of our present trends, is
that We are moving too fast to think
and to plan wisely. Ours is an age of
haste but it is kind of haste that
lacks definiteness of objective. The
Master of men gave designed program
for life; it was calculated to make it full
and abundant. When will we be wise
enough to follow it?
Evening star., 1939-07-23

There are certain arbitrary customs
and practices that we attempt to observe
with reasonable regularity. We divide
each day into three parts, eight hours for
work, eight hours for play or leisure,
eight hours for sleep. 1t is a mathe-
matical formula that has grown out of
long experience and that seems to be
consistent and profitable.
BY the same reasoning we have come
to regard summer days as a proper
period for part-time retirement from oc-
cupational pursuits, vacation period in
which we relax and engage In those
things that bring refreshment and re-
newal. It's good practice and 1t con-
tributes to efncient living. A great ply
sician long ago prescribed that there
are four things that make for balanced
living-"work, play, love and worship"
To each he gave definite time, each was
a factor in making life worthwhile. Such
consistent plan Is not distinguishing
mark Of our modern civilization. Unfor-
tunately 1t has not become operative over
wide areas, 1t has not become the way of
life of the underprivileged. We would
be happier, more healthful, more pa
triotic, yes, more religious people, if
we could so order the program of all as
to guarantee definite periods for work,
play, love and worship.
We believe some progress has been
made, but not enough. 1t is difficult if
not impossible to live normally and prof.
itably without such program. Inces-
SAINT, unremitting work provides little to
the enrichment of character and the
finer qualities Of mind and heart. With
out time for reflection, for the cultiva-
ton of friendship and for wholesome
recreations, life becomes colorless and
stale. In the midst of an absorbing
service Christ went apart from His
tasks, that In quiet places He might build
up spent forces and see more clearly
the course He was pursuing To His
disciples He said, Come We apart and
rest awhile" and 1t was in these periods
of lessened tension that He gave them
a larger vision of His great purposes
and plans. Mountain tops. the open
spaces; away from streets of cities and
the noise and strife Of life He took them,
that they might be the better prepared
for the trials and the larger testing of
their discipleship.
