While an Overruling Providence
Reaches From End to End
(-the United States, the eternal decree allow the
governments to be in the hands of men who have to
learn that their freedom to act often carries them
lieedlessly'tm to great sufferings in which the world is
involved through their weaknesses and their
ignorances and mistakes and daredevilisms.
w While imperfect men may stand at the pilot's
wheel, the fact remains that the captain never
forsakes the ship.
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!

of net -slain or dotted or em
broidery. 4
" Or the net may be beaded and
draped over metal cloth; or the
embroidery on it may be of gold.
Other gowns are of black crepe
do chine or charmeuse with
beads or sequins; of black laco
over gold cloth; or they are
covered with glittering sequins

green or pure blue tulle or a red
rose for relief.
A few of the gowns have
trains.
Prices $150 to $350and thev
