It will put the neighbor feet, so that he may prosper, add to our prosperity. But of greater benefit even than that will be the spirit of friendliness which will be created, between the merchants of the coast cities and their neighbors “over the hill.” If the farmers of Eastern are going to understand the cities along the coast, we must first know the farmers’ problems and speak the farmers’ language.

Washington has become a heroic fig- ure—a sort of god. | So much have we idealized him we for- get, at times, his human trials and 4emp- tations. We lose sight of the fact that he was six feet three,” that his hands and feet were large, his hair reddish brown, and his eyes blue. Because he was not a god is the true reason for his greatness. It is easy for gods to be models of perfection, For hu- mans it is a_task. . HAT Washington set aside tempta- tions to be weak or jealous saved the colonies for freedom, and Washington for history as the father of a new country. America has much to say of him. Now comes an Englishman with lavish praise. “No nobler figure ever stood in the forefront of a nation’s “life,” said John Richard Green, writing in his “History of the English People.” He tells how Washington first won the is the back- at any disas- mately be re- nut ruination wheat crop of Western eased freight to find that of Western hampion the the meeting, m= od of under- rivate enter- the farmers f them with- And freez- pat crop has h re-seeding e ¢ ds for this back on his and in turn confidence of his intimate friends, and that “as the fight went on, the colonists | | discovered What we now realize to be true | “His clear, unbiased judgment. | Washington “His heroic endurance. | folks in the “His silence under difficulties. “His calmness in the face of danger or defeat. “His patience and the quickness with which he struck. “The lofty and serene sense of duty which never swerved from the task at hand thru jealousy. “That never thru war or peace felt the touch of a meaner ambition. “That knew no aim save guarding the freedom, of his fellow countrymen, and no personal longing save returning to his own fireside when that freedom was se- cured.” ibe your acquaintance, who is silent un- der difficulty, patient in defeat, calm in danger, true to his purpose, disregard-’ ing temptation and jealousy, who knows no personal longing save peace, honor, and contentment for himself and his fel- lows?
