For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit” (Jer. 17:7, 8). The lesson-sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: "Mortals are the counterfeits of immortals. They are the children of the wicked one, or the one evil, which declares that man begins in dust or as a material embryo. . . . Mortals will disappear, and immortals, or the children of God, will appear as the only and eternal verities of man. Mortals are not fallen children of God.

RITCHIE LAUDS NATION'S FIGHT ON DEPERSSION Cool Heads. Brave Hearts Will Bring Recovery, Academy Told. By Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland be- J lieves the best way to hasten the end of the depression is for the world to keep its feet on the ground, he said in a. speech before the Academy of Political Science here Friday night. He urged banishing fears, recovery of morale, less talk and more action. "If the world is sick,” said Ritchei, “as indeed it is, and a sit often has been before, we also may take some , comfort from the fact that never! before in history has its best intel- j ligence been so mobilized and concentrated on trying to find out what is wrong and what to do.” Gur own Democracy has made a superb showing in this crisis, the j Governor said. He pointed •to the situation abroad to emphasize this, citing Socialism, Communism, Hit- j lerism, “Dictatorships of the Unit,” j “The Rule of Autocracy, Plutocracy,” “Black Shirts,” “Red Shirts” and whatnot. Lauds Peace Effects Referirng to war debts, Ritchie said, if carried to the point df con- : cellation he believed the American taxpayer would shoulder the burden cheerfully if assuming them would cure the ills of the world and at the same time promote his ow r n utimate welfare. Ritchie praised the growing tendency for conferences between heads of nations and hailed this as a forerunner of increased good will, co-operation “and better understanding. But even with these ties of friendship beipg drawn tighter, the Governor said he believed “the greatest insurance against war is a virtile democracy, capable and empowered ; to assert its democratic will. Swope Defends Plan Gerard Swope, president of the General Electric Company, also a speaker before the academy, answered some of the criticisms of his plan for mitigation of industrial depressions. He emphasized the “voluntary action” element in his plan, as opposed to compulsion, and reaffirmed his belief that stabilization of industry, particularly employment, is possible by this procedure. Stabilization of employment, meaning assurance of employment with insurance if necessary, is the most important feature of Swope's plan.

COOLIDGE STILL SILENT ON CURE FOR U, S. ILLS Ex*President Seems to Be the One Man With No Depression Remedy. Ravmond Cl*Dper, United Prcs Wash- J incton manager, now on a inur of im- / nortant centers to gather insid> busine * / and political information, has had a two/ and one-half hour talk with Calvin CoolJ ldge at Northampton. Mass., and gi-.J In the accomoanlvig article a close u,J of Coolidse thus gathered. The lattert known for his "silence," permitted /*> ouotations. but Clapper has seized here an lnmtiate view of the man who w#n such popularity for his homely frankness. simplicity and directness. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER -(Copyright. 1931. bv United Press* NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Nov, 14. —Calvin Cooiidge apparently is the only man left in America who refused to volunteer advice for curing the depression. He is devoting himself energetically to minding his own business in his characteristic silent way. If there were a shortage of advice, Cooiidge undoubtedly would do his bit. But as with other commodities the market on advice is gorged. So this man who guided the nation through its richest years is content to let those who have responsibility exercise it while he sits quietly in his country town law office here, philosophical and confident that the common sense of the average hard-headed man will make the best of what there is and eventually restore things to rights. Shuns the Spotlight Citizen Cooiidge is one national figure making a determined effort to efface himself. Most public men, after retiring from office, insist upon resuming their amateur standing w'hieh includes the prerogative of telling the world often and long what ought to be done. Cooiidge, learned in the White House that it, sometimes causes trouble when a man. no longer in a place of responsibility, cut off from intimate facts, undertakes as a volunteer, to run the country. Therefore this is no interview but a close-up view of a man who after playing a powerful role on the public stage, has gone back to his normal life as a private citizen to i make a heroic effort to mind his own business. That is not easy for an ex-Pres-ident, especially one w'ho voluntarily retired at the height of his popularity. He is asked almost daily to attend a large dinner. But if he goes, he is pressed to speak. Rejected Fat Salaries He never has been abroad and probably w'on’t be able to go now'. Such a tour would involve honors from foreign governments which it would be ungracious not to accept. Once he thought of becoming a business executive.
