BY DAVID LAWRI By Wireless to The Star. ABOARD THE S. S. LEVIATHAN, August 10.—As Harding pusses on he leaves behind a hitherto untold con- ceptlon of the presidency. He be- lieved that American presidents fre- quently are under divine guidance. Recently he told frhmds that he felt u consclous spiritual influence on his actions Returning on the Leviathan are many who knew Harding intimately. One of them relates a conversation held before the western trip, at the White House. Callers had sald that Lincoln often gave the impression of being divinely inspired and that Harding's intuitional decisions on be- wildering matters and his constant reference to divinity in speeches were similarly buttressed by the conviction that God was pointing out the right course. “Have you been conscious of that? President. Much Thought of. have thought about it was nls reply.

I NCE. “Yes, 1 greut deal’ believe there is some divine guidance that keeps a man from being over- whelmed with the realization of the constant responsibility yet able to de- cide for the apparent best Interests of one hundred milllons of people. Harding's friends belleve that in the last few months his religious fervor was one of the most notable things in his life. He was gradually preparing for a religlous revival in America. Today it is interesting to recall, in this connec- tion his speech at Helena Religious Falth Needed. “Mankind has never stood more in need than it does now of the consola- tlons and reassurances whick rived from a firm religious faith. must not let our engrossment things of matter and mind distract us from a proper concern for those which are of the spirit and the soul.” Traveling toward the American shore today are many who could not get a ship’ soon enough after hearing the news of Harding's death to attend his funeral.

We have never had in the White House a man whose genial dis- position was more contagious; you could not help being attached to him however much your convictions on matters of public policy may have differed from *his. i “Mr. Harding took a position on public questions as they arose, and he did not hesitate to make his position known, welcoming any risk that utterances might invite. His speeche: and messages showed growth in breadth and depth and earnestnes: His oration at the funeral of the U known Soldier will stand among mas- terpieces of our orators.
