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.

IC—What David Achieved for Israel.
I. Chosen King While a Shepherd
Boy (I Sam. 16:1-13).
1. Samuel Sent to Bethlehem (w.
1-5). Samuel was directed to go to
Bethlehem and'from among the sons
of Jesse choose a successor. 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). As a young man. his
business was to keep his father's
sheep. The prevailing tendency of

such an occupation would be to take
things easily, but David did not fall
Into a life of Indolence. 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

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). No other nation In all
the world bed been accorded such
treatment. Hit central thought Is
Go<|fi goodness centered in his redemp
tion of the nation frpm Egyptian
bondage.

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

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. See

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
