WASHINGTON CONSTRUCTIVE PATRIOT By KATh-RINE POPE

Some men support the Interests of their country by defending the land they lore. Washington was both defender and builder, soldier and * talesman. Let us dwell on his work as

builder.

Naturally comserratlre. Washington was not in fsror of courting trouble with old England; but as acts of English aggression followed one after another. realised submission had ceased to be a Tlrtue. When the Brat continental congress met. ia 1774. he accepted election as delegate, and In company with Patrick Henry set out for Philadelphia. "That congress sat In Carpenter's ball with dosed doors, but the great papers that It prepared and Issued form a proud part of American history. Those were the pa pera and that the congress of which Chatham In the house of lords. In his

If you bare any regard for your country, concern for youself or posterity, or respect for me. to banish thea* thoughts from your mind, and never communicate, from yourself or anyone else, a sentiment of like na-

ture."

The discontent and apprehension continued, a meeting of oScers was arranged and there were issued the "New burg Addresses." Intended to arouse the army to resentment. Washington. uninvited, attended the meeting and made an address, la whlth he declared the claims of the army would not be disregarded, and begged, his hearers "to express their utmost horror and detestation of the man who wishes, under any specious pretenses, to overturn the liberties of our country. and who wickedly attempts to open the Boodgates of elril discord and deluge our rising empire In blood." The result of his appeal, resolutions were unanimously adopted concurring In the policy be proposed. Shortly before the dissolution of tbs army Washington addsesaed a letter to the governors of the states, urging

For myself I must declare aad avow that in all my reading and observation—and It has been my favorite study—I have rend Thucydides, and have studied and admired the master statesmen of the world—that for solidity of reasoning, force of sagacity, and wisdom of con -elusion, under such a complication of dlfBcnlt circumstances, no nation or body of men can stand In prefe

In such perfect sympathy with the idea of conferring greater powers on the federal government, he consented to head the delegates from Virginia to the Philadelphia convention-called

Soma one baa said that In this leeeon we spend a Sabbath with Jesus. We go with Him to church, listen to His proecbtng. watch Him rupted by a maniac cast out the evil spirit, and then make the cure powerful kid to preaching. After the rervice ws accompany Him to Peter's bouse, and see Him cure Peter's aged mother of a fever, aad there spend the afternoon In quiet and rest Towards sunset we see the people of the village bringing to Him a great number sick folk on whom He lays His hands and heals Thus Jesus spent the daya of HU Ufa And a busy day Christ as a Teacher. Onr lesson sate Christ forth as "on< Who taught with authority, and not ai tbs scribes." The teaching of Jesus struck tbs people ilka a panic. They had been used to the dry-aa-duat teaching of the Scribes; Jeans spoke s Hying. not s mechanical message. Ha axplained the Scriptures not as a commentator but as the author. Christ's message was first-hand. He spoke as one who knew. Christ’s Teachings Awtborttatlys To* Day. Conscience U not the ultimate ruD of Ufa, the final arbiter In the questions of Us soul. While that The conscience U the viceregent of Ood in the soul, the religious Instinct In man. yet we must also be aware that It U a faculty that can tx warped, drugged, misguided and si 1 raced Therefore It cannot be depended upon as an absolutely correct criterion of troth aad conduct.

A man may say that ha needs no other revelation than his own reason. that be will accept nothing In the BlbU saving what accords with reason, thereby making hte n aad not the revelation of Ood the criterion of right and wrong. Inasmuch, however, as different men have dlfferfor doing, believing and Judging things, we become at once involved in a maze of conflicting standards of troth and we are left hopelessly in Ue dark. Reason therefore tot be the ultimate authority in matters of faith and practice. Words of Jesus Final and AuthorltaChrist has spoken there is nothing more to he said. When Christ has pssasil HU judgment, there appeal from It. HU words are final and authoritative. Jesus said: "He that rejecteth Mg aad recelveth not My words, hath one that judgeth The word that I have spoken, me shall Judge him in tbs last Thus we see that the words of Christ are not only to be the standard of our conduct here and now. but the standard by which we shall be

Judged hereafter.

Jasus as a Miracle Worker. Miracles ware not the principal part of Christ's work. They were always suberdlaate. Mora than ones Christ expressed the fear that men might be tempted to make miracles the meet prominent part of HU work, and thi — i as a healer of bodies rather than the their souls. That was tl gin Ha forbade tboee Whom He bad healed to advertise the healing. ThU U vastly different from certain sects to-day who make "healings'’ the principal thing, and sou)-rav-ing subsidiary.

Washington was also delegate to the second continental congress, the on# which unanimously sleeted him commander la chief of the continental forces, and the one where he declared the position a "trust too great for my capacity." To us it U pleasing to compare the modesty that characterized Washington throughout hU life with the egotism looked upon as forgivable, essential part of a forceful personality of the present day.
