Works for » fashionable stationer, I believe. Fills in wedding cards and decorate, A month went by and late one afternoon Wayne, passing the door of the - ar room, was arrested by the echo of a faint sob. He stepped over the threshold to find Miss Wharton with her face buried In her hands. .“You seem troubled," he said. «!-[ have been greatly disappointed fluttered the young girl, "I am afraid I shall have to give up the office, sir." , 1 _ "Why, how is that?" Inqhired Wayne. “The business house I have been working for has failed. I can readily make a new connection, hut I could not pay the rent hers until well on In tlie month." “lileM me!" cried Wayne cheerily, -we always give thirty days’ credit to the trade, why not to you? Best My, Mbs Wharton, and if you wish to anticipate later returns just speak . to our cashier." Two days later she came to him : with happy, beaming face. “Just think of it!” she said buoyantly. “I have made a new business I eonnection with so much work to do I that I can employ all my evenings, if i I clu>'«e. Can I remain here after closing time if I pay for the lights?" Os course there was no objection. Miss Wharton paid up mH arrears wttli sparkling. thankful eyes. One wetiing Wayne insisted on her taking a respite from her hard work for a spin in his automobile. Ami one evening—he never forgot it—lie was seated in his room a mile away from tbe office, when the telephone called with a noisy jangle. “Mr. Wayne?"—the tones were breathless. Tm—who is this?" Tour office—Miss Wharton." “Come, oh! come at once. Do not lose a precious second!" "What is It?” asked Wayne Its startle! wonderment. "I have done a dreadful thing' It ns f<T your sake—oh I hurry! hurry I" Wayne reached the building In which his office was located. He rushed up the stairs. Tottering through the doorway nt the new subtenant's apartments there showed the subtenant herself. “Quick, quickl" she gasped, pointing a terrified finger st the closed floor <tf the big steel vault—"there! there!" ; Site sank to a chair overcome, well at tbe point of fainting away.

FOUNDED UPON THREE TRUTHS Rev. Alden Os Mooseheart Tells Os Duties Os American Citizens Those who .were not permitted to. hear Rev. Charles A. Alden, protest | ant Chaplain at Mooseheart, Illinois, deliver his excellent sermon at Bell-1 mont Park last Friday, will enjoy reading iiU His address follows: "In the founding of this nation our colon Ml fathers declared three truths and made three pledges of consecration. The three truths: "All men created equal; endowed wth inalienable rights; governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.” The three pledges: i “Our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.” Those three truths make Americanism today. Those three pledges are the solemn duty of patriotic citizens today. In the combination of tihose three truths recognized ntfd those three pledges loyally fulfilled, lies the solution of every problem that confronts us now. Lincoln's Definitions Lincoln described this government as “of the people, by the people, for the people.” We cannot be true to the declarations of our colonial fathers, or to Lincoln’s terms, if we put all the emphasis on the “by” and “for” and ignore the “of.” That means a government that is over the people and tto which they must give both allegiance and obedience. He who betrays the law. our only supreme authority in finite affairs, betrays himself and his family; Lincoln. according to Lord Charnwood (the only Englishman who has written his biography) wrote a letter about two years before he was elected tn the Presidency, in which he defined democracy thus: “As 1 would not be a slave so I would not, be a master. This is my Wea of democ■acy, and whatsoever differs from it, to the extent of the d fference. is not democracy.” Individuals and groups if individuals, organized or not, need ’o give consideration to (that definition. None would be slaves, but many, not yet estableshed majorities, would very mdch Eke to be masters. Americans who realize the price that we have paid to wipe out autocracy (which is only minority rule, or mastery,) as exercised by foreign poentates. must earnestly desire to see ill traces of autocracy (or minority mastership I wiped out wherever the ’olds of old glory floa’J in the breezes of God’s heaven as a symbol of humanity’s highest hope. The outstanding thing about American democracy, as it functions through the established institutions if our republic, is that it is forwardlooking. With this forward 'look the Ixiyal Order of Moose allies Itself in Purity, Aid and Progress. In this spirit has this brotherhood built Mooseheart, "The school that trains for life" where more than eleven hundred and f fly children of our departed brothers have come into the inheritance that their fraternity uncles’ guarantee each other, and are cared for and trained academically with standard high school work and vocai tionally till every one of them graduates equipped to iiecome at once a self supporting unit of society. Compared This With Exploiting Child-Labor The importance of this example lies tn the fact that in nh'.s country, acI cording to official statatics, more than a million children, between the i ages of ten and sixteen, are being . exploited in hard labor for private or ’ corporate profil Congress has just I submitted to the leg statures of the • status a proposed amendment to the ‘ U. 8. Constitution, putanx ch Id labor ! under federal •ontrol. (tongtens has ’ tried to remedy the condition by log--1 Matiou. only to have the laws pro- ■ nounced unconstitutional, an invading sta’e rights. I Two legislatures have act 'd. Arkansas has voted for 1 the new amendment, but by a narrow margin. In Georg a the lower house, i according to newspaper reports yenr terday. voted against K, 170 to 3. “ Citizens should app"n! to their legis 1 latures at V»c earl lest possible mo- ’ ment to act favorably on this at once. * to keep !a line with the forward look that makes America. , A prominent! Japaneiw, after visiting here a long lime auid: "No under--1 stand America. Her* you do every- “ thing for tbe child. In Japan wo do everything tor—-what you call him — n th* old man.” There kt the secret of f difference between the old world and the new. “ In conclusion. Mr. Alden, reviewed „ America's service W the world, in f establishing democracy, in ending a n civil war on the basis of equal citfie xenshlp. in Cuba and the Ph lippines, leaving one free and paving for the r other when she owned U by right of 1 conquest, in the Chinese'Boxer trou- *’ ble, returning the Indemnity to be

used in educating the young; and in the world war by serving at great cost and without remuneration. Some of the Epigrams Used Autocracy is a governuiunt of imposition. democracy a government of composition. Autocracy is a government of ( (minion obedience, democracy one of common sense. Expansion made America free, but cohesion made here a nation. I The difference between a rebellion I and a revolution is success. We honI or Washington for putt ng over a re--1 bellion and we honor Lincoln for putting down one. Lincoln's def nition o} democracy: “As 1 would not be a slave so I would not be a master.” Columbine discovered America in 1492, the English discovered America in 1776. The Germans discovered America In 1918. And America discovered itself in that same year. In I the American Revolution we had no naton. In tlie Civil War the nation was split in two parts. The Spanish war was so short we didn’t all know we were in it before it was over. But in the world war Amer ca found herself. Since then she has been busy analyzing her discovery. America is like a boy about sixteen years old, the awkward age, all hands and feet and don’t know how I>o make them track. The artlculat on of brain and physical power lies with the coming generation whose character and citizenship, as well as intellectual training is in our hands. Concluded with Edwin Markham ' poem on brotherhood, as follows: "Os all things beautiful and. good, The kingliest is brotherhood. For it will bring again to earth. Her long-lost poesy and mirth; And t il it comes, these men are slaves And travel downward to the dust of graves. Char the way. then, clear the way; Bl.nd creeds and kings have had their day; Break the dead branches from the path; Our hope is in the aftermath. To this event the ages ran. Make way for brotherhood. Make way for man." o True Brotherlineu Brathcrllness also consists in being kind to people who are sensitive and <>m,|cn< tn th" nolnt of fidgetyness. There will be work in the Fellowcraft degree Friday evening July 11, at 7:30 o’clock. Masons come. W. M.
