That great churchman, His Grace. Cardinal jGibbcns, once said : "Science, like Martha, is engaged m material pursuits. Religion, like Mary, is kneeling at the feet of our Lord." v - Material prosperity, financial readjustments and military successes may turn our heads for a brief moment; but, -like Rudyard Kipling's "Ship That Pound Itself" in the volume of "A Day's Wink," we shall be through with the creaking of the ship's timbers, the clangor of the engine room, the roar of Lthe boiler room and the screeches of the pipes from stem to stern and reach the smooth sailing around the Capes of Good Hope and come to the Ocean of Good Understanding. General Pershing and General Wood were never growlers or slackers. ' Stalwart General Grant at Richmond said to General Lee and his staff: "No, sirs, we will not take your swords or your horses. Go home with them and begin your Spring plowing." v The United States still stamps its coins, by order of the people, "In God We Trust." The Golden Eagles of the United States are today the favorite coins the world over. Let us stand for them, motto and all. Signet! Nov. lo, 1010. hifkm4.
