We are today the greatest empire that was ever held together, for China and Russia never were one peo- ple; nor was any of the ancient empires of conquest. There are more than 100,000,000 of us under one flag, with, presumably, one set of ideals and aims and | loyalties; but it is a vain presumption, for most of us |think of ourselves as American citizens about once a year, some time between March 1 and 15, to be exact. Europe will perish unless it sinks its artificial but |ages-old distinctions, enmities and divisions.

The audience understands and smiles The incident holds the mirror up to a familiar thing many homes—the dusty Bible. Lying unused on many shelves, it offers in vain its wisdom, its consolation and its romance, while the unsated hearts of the owners seek in vain for new thrills in the best sellers. Who knows a sweeter story that the book of Ruth? And tragedy more sublime than the story of the Cruci- fixion? And philosophy more wholesome than that of Ecclesiastes, or of the Proverbs? Or poetry finer than the Song of Solomon? ; The Bible has the wonderful quality of being always new, presenting unexplored depths of light at every read- ing. It is like one of those wonderful old attics of our childhood days, where at every visit we would discover, hidden away, something we had missed on our last visit. “An active mind,” said President John Quincy Adams, @ book aside to think, and take it up in tomorrow, without finding in it advice for our own conduct, which we may turn to useful account in the progress of our daily pilgrimage on earth.” In the Editor’s Mail A man jumped off Brooklyn bridge to collect @ bet of a dinner.
