FREEDOM THROUGH TRUTH
By the Right Reu James Freeman D. D., ILL., D. D. c. L.,
Bishop of Washington.

fed by a trust in God that shall make
him strong to meet every form Of ad-
versity that may come to him. In the
engencies of life there is sense OF
loneliness, loneliness that can be over
come through the consciousness that life
is designed with purpose and plan. This
is not fatalism, it is faith, and without
it man stumbles on, without hope OF
better things to come.
We are seeking today for a larger
freedom, for the attainment OF that for
which this republic was created. We
cannot have it because we desire it, nor
again because we believe we have the
physical strength to secure it. 1t is not
given to weak men; it is given to those
who are possessed of great soul-stir-
ring religious faith. How can we reckon
with such a man as Washington without
believing that he was empowered to lead
a young and seemingly impotent people
TO the attainment of their independence
and freedom? He was human like other
men, and yet he exhibited qualities OF
mind and heart that have given him
place among the great of earth. Those
who were associated with him acknowl-
edged his greatness and were moved to
action by his commanding presence. In
a prayer which constituted part OF
a letter addressed to the Governors of
the States on disbanding the Army in
1888, he prays for that charity, humility
and pacific temper of mind which were
the characteristics of the divine author
of our blessed religion, and without
humble imitation of whose example in
these things we can never hope to be
happy nation" He had found the truth,
the truth that makes men free, and in
its power he was invincible.
We need in this trying time to redis-
cover the truth that under Washington
liberated a people. We can have it if
we seek it; without it we pursue our
course, uncertain of attaining the things
We most covet and desire. Victor Hugo
was right when he affirmed that, "the
first tree of liberty was that which was
planted on Calvary" that bore the up
lifted figure of the Christ. When Amer
lea turns again to behold and follow Him
who has been the inspiration of its hope,
it will be on the road that leads to its
true destiny. Back to Him who affirmed
Himself to be "the way, the truth, and
the life" are we called. He who inspired
the fathers. who was the guide of Wash
ington, will be our guide today.

quota, however, their residents are

well fitted they might be-until and

1t should be pointed out also that

ers from distances for these. This
always is the case when there is an
unusual demand for man power, and
the resultant expansion of local en-
ployment invariably can be counted
on at a later date to furnish ammu-
milton for the advocates of the polit-
ical spoils system, who are for
geography instead of merit in gov
ernment.
In peacetime apportionment is fine
for politicians; in wartime 1t Is
showed out of the way in the interest
of good administration. At no time
does it have anything in common
with the merit system.

Reports from Batavia Friday told
of the appearance of japanese trans

landing of the invaders is being re-
sisted by the Dutch and their allies,
and a great battle is raging as these

Many American artists and
writer's know Bali as it was before
the present worldwide conflict

agreed, is incredible" One hun
dred miles long and fifty miles
wide, it is volcanic structure, with
high mountains on the north and
magnificent alluvial plain on the
south. The soil is richly fertile,
watered by a communal system of

Capital SideIights
By Will p. Kennedy.

William A Frederick, in charge of
the annual azalea show of the United
States Botanic Garden, promises
treat this. year in several plants of a
new Rutherfordiana hybridization named
in honor of President Roosevelt He
describes it as Of true coral in color,
very florescent. The new type was
originated by Lambertus C. Bobbink of
East Rutherford, N. j., who, Mr.. Fred
and horticulurists as the most outstand-
ing hybridizer of all times, especially
In azaleas and roses" Mr. Bobbink has
developed more than 100 varieties of
the Rutherfordiana azaleas. all of one
hybridization, which will be on display
in the Botanic Garden show.
The Franklin D. Roosevelt plants were
first shown and christened at the Presi-
dents Birthday Ball at the Willard
Hotel. They had been forced" and
sent in heated van to Mr.. Frederick
who placed them in the banquet deco
rations. He promises, however, that
those in the Botanic Garden show will
attract much more attention because
they will be at their best through nat
ural growth and Towering at the proper
time.
Having in mind the recent furore
about decentralization Of the Govern
ment, the fact that the District of Co.
lumbia was established as a haven and
permanent home for the Government
and that it was never contemplated
that its branches should be forced out
for lack of room, some members of Con-
gress are recalling that Congress had
previously assembled successfully in
eight places in four different States.
Comparing the tremendous cost of mov-
ing such Government institutions as the
Patent Office, it is recalled that when
the Federal Government was moved to
Washington in 1900, the entire expense
was S64,000. Comparing the price being
paid by the Government for certain
estates for housing projects, it has been
mentioned that in 1871 the land taken
for public buildings, were purchased at
$66.66 per acre, and there was no COM
pensation for the land used for streets.
Mai. L'Enfant, whose elaborate plans for
the Capital City now are envied by all
the world, was dismissed as inSubordi-
nate. Penniless, he haunted Congress
for his reward, until the niggardly sum
of 1866, with interest from 1892, was
voted to him in 1910.

Senator Ebert D. Thomas of Utah,
formerly professor of political science
and connected with many national and

Military might without morals means

Morals without military might means
suicide-witness Belgium, Norway and

aye shall know the truth and the
truth shall make you free" This afhrma-
ton of Jesus, coupled with His defense
Of everything that concerned the larger
freedom of men from every form of en-
slavement, is the true basis of our Amer
ican concept of liberty. Truth is ever
a Hberating force; it cannot live where
any limitation is imposed upon it. 1t
survives only as it is free to exercise its
God-given rights. All human advance,
all scientific discovery, all the brilliant
attainments Of men have been gained
in an atmosphere in which there were
no shadows. II darkness enshrouded the
dying Christ on the cross, glowing SUM-
rose from the dead.
One Of His most vivid interpretations
of Himself was where He declared Him
self to be the Light of the World"
Whenever and wherever He touched the
life and problems OF men He demon
strated His Illuminating power. He
glorified human personality by making
it conscious of its splendid potentialities.
Wherever He walked He illuminated
darkened pathways and made men see
a new meaning to life.
One of the miracles Of time is the
prevailing power He has exercised upon
recurring generations OF men. Wherever
men have attained new heights, to bet
ter ways of living, to the fuller, freer
way of life, His presence has been felt
and new exemplars OF His truth have
arisen. Here in America repeated mani
festations Of His power have been ex-
periencd, here in amazing ways His
truth has inspired men to deeds of dar-
ing and self-consecration. They have
undertaken seemingly impossible tasks
because they realized they were sus-
tained by an invisible but unconquerable
power. 1t was written of old: They en-
dured as seeing Him who is invisible -
However men may speculate as to this
invisible source of power, it has repeat
edly demonstrated itself in human ex-
perience. Matthew Arnold calls it "a
power not of ourselves" Whether in our
armed forces or in civil life there is
increasing need of it today Some one
has wisely said, Man cannot stand up
against his own loneliness and his sense
of moral dereliction." He finds himself
appalled, as he faces his own moral
weakness. He must feel that, behind the
changes and accidents Of life, he is forti-

Apportionment Fails

Government personnel needs for
war work serve to demonstrate once
more the futility and unfairness of
the apportionment law, which re-
quires appointments here to be made
according to State quotas.
The Civil Service Commission has
found it necessary to waive observ-
ance in filling lower-paid positions,
for it is impossible to get men and
women to come in from the outside
for the starting salaries of less than
$1,000 annually received by meSsen-
gers, underclerks, telephone opera
tors and guards. For some other
types Of employment, such as stenog-
rapher and typist, the demand far
outstrips the supply, so the appor-
tionment law is meaningless there
also.
It's effectiveness, therefore, is con-
fined to higher-grade positions,
where applicants outnumber the
vacancies, making a selective process
possible. This shows up the glaring
inequities of the law. Twenty-one
States and the District of Columbia
now have more than their quota of
positions in the departmental serv-
ice. In many instances the States
are over quota because of the large
number of war workers they have
sent in here, usually in clerical ca
pacities. Because they are over
