PAGE EIGHT Wilson Broke Age-Old Custom When He Re- | fused to Bend Km^e to Pope on Visit to Vatican War President Showed True American Spirit When Her Failed to Hutaible Himself Before Roman Pontiff Causing Awed Chamberlians to Shake Heads. (Fran Fellowship Forum, Washins* ton, D. C.) Although the meeting between Woodrow Wilson and the Pope occur red more than five years ago, there are still many stories afloat as to what actually took place when Ameri ca’s first citizen and the head of the Roman Catholic church met in Rome. Robert Halley, a special writer for the Cincinnati Post, completely dis pels any illusion that perhaps be cause of political expediency the Pres ident might have forgotten his Cal- vinistic training and crooked the bended knee to Rome. Referring to Mr. Wilson’s call at the Vatican, this writer said: “Since time immemorial, kings, and princes of the royal realm, not to mention the lesser lights, have knelt on entering the pres ence of his holiness. custom of centuries had been the same. “But Wilson, head erect and smiling, advanced, looking the Pope squarely in the eye. The latter, with both hands extended, came forward to greet him. "The awed chamberlains ex changed glances and shoqk their heads when Wilson neglected to bend his knee, but they well knew that for such a ceremony this was neither the occasion nor the man.” Since the passifig of President Wil son the unbiased opinion of those who criticized him for overfriendliness to Roman Catholics during and after the World War are inclined to lay the blame for any such condition to the activities of Tumulty, his Roman Catholic private secretary. It is now universally conceded that Mr. Wilson was above petty and sor did details, had no liking for them, and left many things to the care of Tumulty, for which he was held re sponsible. Tumulty did not lose sight of his Roman Catholic friends in car ing for the details left to him by the President. by The tax paid fa&ily ammilnts ~ TaT every working -day, every “one encan for that he lcW esp^lalfy' since according to a banking authority.

God in structed him to avoid publicity by the concealment of his real purpose. Sam uel was not under obligation to tell all th* parties had no moral right to know. 2. Samuel Anointed David (v. 18). Though the Lord has refused to choose one of the eldest sons 'of Jesse, when this stripling of a boy came before Samuel,, the Lord indicated His choice. This anointing typified the enduement of the Holy Spirit which is essential tor any and all service for God. II. David’s Training. 1. In the Open Fields (I Sam. 16:11- 13; 17:34-37).

He became such a skilled musician that he was cllied to play his harp before the king. He was also an expert marksman, so that he could throw a stone with such precision as to need only one throw to down the Philistine giant Then, too, he was physically fitted, for he had been "educated In the school of the lion and the bear.” 2. In the King’s Court (I Sam. 18:2, 21:9). Here was formed that tie of friendship with Jonathan which not only was a bright spot in David’s life, but Uvea In history aa a unique af fair. 3. In the Camp of the Outlaw (1 Sam. 21:10; 81:13). The king had given commandment to kill David. When the truth of this was realized David fled to the king of Gath, where he feigned madness. Though David did some foolish and unbecoming things during this time, be Is to be commended for his self-mastery In that be would not touch the Lord’s anointed. III. David Made King ef Judah (H Sam. 2:1-4) Ti whe king over them. Thus, a part of the nation recognized him as king anil ratified the work which Samuel did years before 1. The Dual Kingdom (II Sam. 2:8; 4:12). Most of the tribes of Israel held to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, whom Abner had proclaimed king of Ma- haniam. Feuds continued between the rival factions. David’s power in creased, while that of Ishbosheth waned. This period of dvU war last ed seven and a half years. 2. David Crowned King of United Israel (II Sam. 5:1-5). Abner’s death and Ishbosheth’a assassination pat an rad to David’s opposition. Besides, David’s behavior during this time gradually won for him the confidence of the tribes, so that they all came to bim_at Hebron and anointed him as their king. They assigned as their reasons for anointing him tbelr king: (1) He was their brother (v. 1). (2) He was tbelr true leader in war, dken in Saul’s time (v. 2). (8). He was the Lord's choice (v. 2). IV. David's Worship and Prayar (II Sam. 7:18-28). 1. For Qod’s Goodness to Him (rr. 18-22). This was shown In promising to build him a house. The content of this covenant la set forth In verses 8-16l It contains the following ele ments : fl) A house, or posterity (v. 18). (2) A threse—s royal authority (V. 18). (8) A kingdom (v. 18). “ (4) Perpetuity, that is, forever (v. 18). % This was an absolute promise. Dis obedience on the part of David’s seed would entail chastisement, but not an abragatloB of the covenant 2. For God’s Goodness to the Nation (w. 28-26).

Burlesque-Julius Caesar to Ba seated On March 20th. ’ Clinton has enjoyed a variety of entertainments and has witnessed al most every display of talent front the melody of music, rendered through the artistry of noted songsters or drawn with fitting genius from the soul of the violin, to the wiiardry of magic’s mysteries or the beauty of a scene drawn by a painter’s hand. She has harkened to the eloquence of orators, or listened with mirthful spirits to the wit and wiadom of the humorist She has dreamt with dreamers of the grandeur of a fair Utopia, or paused, at bold reformer’s pleas, to ponder on the vanity of life, the horror of hell, or the Elysian bliss of Heaven. But never before, in all of her “eventful history,” has she ever beheld ' an entertainment such as the one to be rendered March 20th,—nor will her fondest records or her hidden archieves disclose a similar attraction. On March 20th the Senior class of J* ^i.^nder .^^urles^ue^Juiiu Caesar—which promises to “take the cake” as the funniest and most en gaging comedy that has ever been offered in Clinton. No money-back guarantee could be more conductive to patronage than a brief statement as to the nature of this play. The various roles will be taken by the Seniors themselves, and no amount of time and energy has been spared in making the play as nearly perfect as possible. The costumes will be ela borate, the scenery ample, and the system of lightning the most effec tive yet devised for the stage in the orphanage chapel. The entertain ment has been pronounced by those who have been privileged to witnes* a practice, “the funniest thing they have *ver seen. 1 * The attraction is unique in every particular. It is not an exaggeration to say that you will thoroughly enjoy every minute spent at the Thomwell chapel March 20th. You cannot afford to miss this play. You must see the dancing girl as she trips and* skips wtith reckless abandon before Caesar. See^ Cassius, thirsty for blood, as he whips out^ the flashing dagger that finds a home within the bosom of an emperor. See Calpurnia as she makes love to her lord, or Brutus as he flees from the scene of battle and commits suicide in a very singular fashion.

If you fail to attend this attrac tion, you brand yourself as a con firmed skeptic. If you come and fail haps, better off housed in an early grave where the only sign of mirth would be the grim smile of fate. If you go away with heart not gay or soul unsatisfied, it is an unmistakable sign that Old Age has got you, and we give you up! Commercial Club Met Tuesday L B.
