AS STATESMAN
OF CHRISTIANITY
. Not a vacant scat was to be found
in the largo auditorium of the First;
Paptist church Sunday evening at thej
"Wilson memorial service, when Rev.
P. Ri Leach gave his memorial mes
sage on "A Character Study of Wood
row "Wilson the Prophet and Ideal
ist." The largo and representative
audience listened with great , interest
to the eulogy, part of which follows:
"The flags of the nations of the
world were flying at half mast last
woek in recognition of the passing of
tho man who more than any other
person stood for world freedom and
peace. Hesitant to involve the United
States in war when, once entered,
yoodlow Wilson showed himself to
be a great man in war as well as in
peace. Knowing full well what war
would mean, he sought whole Jieart
cdly to make this war the last war.
He never wavered in that purpose nor
yielded for a lower ideal. -He saw the
outstretched hands of women and
children of every nation crying for!
peace, as they looked to him, as the
world's new saviour. No man everj
lifted our country's flag to so high aj
pinnacle. j
"Wood row "Wilson was a prophet, j
an idealist, gather than a politician.)
Had "Wilson been a politician he'
would never have been a prophet and
leader of tho new order of thingH. i
Politicians compromise; prophets do I
not know how to. If they did they!
would ceaso to be a prophet, as it is I
not in thoir nature to yield. They may
die for a causo, as did Wilson, but
compromise never. As a rule they do
not live to see their cause triumph.
People- must grow up to their ideals.
Prophets, however, live in history.
As a rule tho world crucifies its
leaders. So they did the Saviour. They1
killed Lincoln y shot Roosevelt and
truly killed Wilson. I
"Woodrow Wilson's Ideals aro tho;
heart longings of men everywhere,1
and are tho teachings of Jesus Christ.!
Since this bo truo they must eventu-j
ally prevail. When world peace shall
Jiave been realized the name of Wil-t
son will forever bo associated with!
world peace. As time goes on Wil-
son and his ideals , will be better i
thought of. Wo must wait tho verdict
of a later time for a true estimate of'
his worth and work., His failings and!
weak points will then bo forgotten, (
while his Ideals will bo a beacon light'
for others who will follow in his
atop,-i-i '" ! y I
"Wilson's ideals were unequalcd by
those of any war leader of tho na
tions engaged in tho war. No one
could state their ideals so forcefully
or clearly. Ilia fourteen points were!
the basis of tho peace terms. Tho
world will always need great leaders.
Great leaders are tho product of re-j
ligious training. Wilson was tho pro
duct of a religious home. Without
that religious training tho fourteen
points could never have been written.'
Nor will they ever be realized except-!
ing as men of another generation find
their incentive in religion. Neglect '
the church and religion and we make
world peace impossible.
"When time shall have dispelled all'
misunderstandings and the hatreds of
war days are forgotten, history will
writ tho name of Woodrow Wilson
among the world's immortals. Ho'
died in the glory of the promise of
the future, confident that right would
ultimately prevail and that the
League of Nations would one day be
accepted, and so he closed his eyes
feeling that he had done his best for
humanity, tired and broken in body,
leaving to others to carry on and fin
ish tho world ho so gloriously begun.
The choir had two anthems, and
George Maddox a tenor solo, and Mr.
Janes a violin solo In addition to the
organ recitul by Mr. Scott, all of
wnicn andeq to this special service.
The Medford greenhouse sent a beau
tiful wreath for tho service, which
was greatly appreciated.

HELENA, Mont., Feb. It. No ad

have been reported to either tho state
examiner or to the Helena branch of
the federal reserve bank since the
closing of the Commercial National
bank in Miles City Saturday. Reports
that a correspondent bank had an
nounced It would close were declnred
unfounded by both state and federal
reserve bank officials.
The Miles City bank was ono of tho
largest institutions which has gone to

tion In livestock and land values ac
companying tho after-tho-war-read-justmcnt.
Slnce1920 more than 100
banks have closed In Montana but
with fundamental conditions in the
stato declared to be Improved, recent
closings are said to be rather the re
sult of the panicky feeling that exists
than the actual condition of the banks
themselves.
L. Q. Skelton, state bank examiner,
has made tho statement that restora
tion of confidence on the part of de
positors would save virtually all of the
remaining banks in the stato.
