OUR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT Anniversaries in the lives of individuals and nations f o r m milestones in the journey of life. As the years go by and they be come numerous we can look back and review the ground which has been traveled. Such reviews of life are valuable both for the in dividual and the nation. The author o f a recent book which enjoys a brisk demand among college students, scouts the value o f the findings o f human experi ence. He would have each start almost at the cultural point of the untutored savage and blaze hie owh way. But history has a profound value, which it is the height o f foolishness to ignore. W hether of secular or religious history, it is true that “ whatso ever things were written afore time were written for our learn ing.” The reliable historian earns gratitude by reliablv recording past events for the use of future generations, and the student o f history should discover and unfold.the philoso phy which underlies the events of history. When the history of the vari ous nations which have popu lated the earth is studied and reviewed, a remarkable sameness is disclosed. It is not mere chance which caused one to rise from small beginnings and an other to fall from heights which it had attained. The serious stu dent o f history will conclude that a law governs the case. As a great Christian poet puts it: Bartholomew & Lawrence Announcement WISH to inform my friends and patrons that I am now located in my new drug store, corner of Broadway and Second street. / take pleas ure and pride in that it is a thoroughly modern building in every respect, which enables me to ren der more efficient service than ever to the public. Although it will take a little time longer to get every thing settled and in place, I am now ready for busi ness and will be glad to welcome all my old patrons and many new ones. Thanking you for past courtesies, Yours truly, MAUD STURGEON, Prop. / E S T A C A DA P H REXALL ARMACY THE STORE “ One (5od, one law, one element Ami one far off divine event To which the whole creation moves.*’ All nations are under this one God, forming part o f the one element and governed by the one law. 1 heir individual rise and progress are dependent on the manner in which they fall into line towards the consuma tion o f this tar off divine event. As a rule they failed to sense this though there were never wanting those who more or less clearly perceived the truth, and lifted up warning voices. The history o f Israel is typical o f all. The prophets warned but their messages fell on unheeding ears. This week we celebrate our own nation’s birthday. There will lie much shouting and jubi lation. and much boasting o f the high place we hold among na- ■ tions o f the world. This is all perfectly natural and perhaps we are entitled so to da Rut the question arises which is fraught with serious portent: "Is not this rejoicing and national self complacency and congratu lation purely materialistic?” Our rejoicing is mainly over tl e fact that we are richer and not that we are more righteous than other nations. This is a question which it is most important for us to face, because on it depends our con tinued rise or the beginning o f a decline. Many a man. many a family has been ruined by too much material prosperity, in- t a net's o f which are obvious,!

He figured that the 40 million tires used on the 10 mil lion Fords, if stacked up would make a rubber column 2,000 miles high.i Then, looking for road trouble, he punctured each o f the tires, and ¿then figured that one man working eight hours a day ex cept Sundays and holidays and repairing a tire every five min utes would finally finish the job in 400 years.
