The Private Papers
Of a Cub Reporter
On Page 426 of Lizzy Dilling’s
“The Roosevelt Red Record and Its
Background,” published in 1936, she
recites the “red” tainted record of
Senator Wheeler. Testified Mrs.
Pilling: “Wheeler, Sen. Burton K.:
Montana, radical; 1931, ‘Progres
sive’ Conf.; ardent F.D.R. support
er; American Civil Liberties Union
Bill; caUed ‘Socialist, I.W.W. Paci
fist’; Vice. Pres, candidate with La-
FoUette, 1924, on Socialist and Pro
gressive tickets; resignation asked
during war because of his refusal to
prosecute radical slackers; . . .
Signer of application for pardon of
Communist Party N. Y. District or
ganizer, Chas. Krumbein (Daily
Worker 9-635) ...”
On Page 2 of her round table let
ter, dated March 21, 1941, she speaks
of her Mothers’ Crusade to Wash
ington and her conferences with va
rious Senators as follows: “Defenses
of me from the floor of Congress,
by fiery, patriotic Senators Clark
and Wheeler are in the Congres
sional Record. Thank God we have
some fighters like these men repre
senting real Americans in Con
gress!”

Camp Cavalcade
CHADOWY figures in a cavalcade
^ of American history—such 'are
the men behind the names of the
great army cantonments scattered
all over the United States, where
young Americans are learning to be
soldiers in order to defend their
country when the need arises.
The only man for whom two
camps are named (one near Boise,
Idaho, and the other near Vancou
ver, Wash.) was not a native Amer
ican, although he rose to the rank of
brigadier-general in our^ army. He
was French-born Benjamin L. E.
Bonneville (1793-1878). Graduated
from West Point in 1815, he soon
was sent to the Western frontier.
In 1831 he obtained a leave of ab
sence to explore the country be
yond the Mississippi and his Odys
sey furnished the material for one of
Washington Irving’s best-known
books. Absent without leave for
nearly two years, he was threatened
with a court martial by the secre
tary of war but President Jackson
restored him to his former rank. He
served brilliantly in the Seminole
war and the War with Mexico, and
at the outbreak of the Civil war he
was retired with the brevet of briga
dier-general for his “long and faith
ful services in the army.”
Even more distinguished in the
Mexican war was Col. Alexander Wil
liam Doniphan
(1808 - 1887) for
whom Camp Don
iphan at Fort Sill,
Okla., is named.
This Kentuckian
studied law and
went to Missouri
to practice. Com
missioned colonel
of the First Mis
souri Mounted
Volunteers at the
outbreak of the
War with Mexico,
Colonel Doniphan
marched with
Kearney into the Southwest, was
left in command at Santa Fe and
from there, ih December, 1846, start
ed on a march into Mexico which
was to i make him famous. He de
feated a superior force of Mexi
cans at Bracito river, captured El
Paso and, after a weary march of
250 miles through the desert, led
his force of less than 1,000 men
against an army of 4,000 Mexicans
strongly intrenched at the Pass of
the Sacramento. The result was a
brilliant victory which gave him pos
session of the whole state of Chi
huahua. After the war, Doniphan went
back to law practice in Missouri.
Near Petersburg, Va., where he
carried on the last of the campaigns
which established
his fame as one
of the greatest
military com
manders of all
time, stands a
camp which
bears the name
of Robert E. Lee
(1807-1870). Amer
icans, both North
and South, take
pride in the
achievements of
this gallant lead-
er of a “Lost
Cause” who had
worn the army blue during the War
with Mexico, on the Western fron
tier and as superintendent of the
United States Military academy at
Y/est Point before he exchanged it
for the Confederate gray when his
native Virginia seceded from the
Union. For three years he out-
maneuvered and outfought some of
his former comrades in arms until
at last, on an April day in 1865, he
came to Appomattox.
There he sat down at a table ir.
the McLean house with a brother
West Pointer, clad
in a dusty uni-
form of blue.
They talked for a
while of Mexican
war days, then
turned to the
business which
had brought them
here. That busi
ness was the
terms of surren
der for the rag
ged hosts of the
Army of Northern
Virginia, worn
down by the re
peated attacks of
superior numbers. The man who
played the other historic role in the
drama of Appomattox was Gen. U.
S. Grant (1822-1885) native of Ohio
and citizen of Illinois, who was des
tined to become President four
years later. A camp near Rockford,
111., bears his name.

UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
S UNDAY I
chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago. ,
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for September 28
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education; used by
permission.
THE FULFILLMENT OF HIS
TORY: THE NEW JERUSALEM
LESSON TEXT—Revelation 21:1-7. 10-12,
22-?*
GOLDEN TEXT—He that overcometh
shau innerit all things; and I will be his
Gfid, and he shall be my son.—Revela
tion 21:7.
A happy ending may not suit the
fancy of modern writers of fiction,
but it does suit God. He “who work-
eth all things after the counsel of his
own will” (Eph. 1:11) will see’to it
that redeemed man shall “be to the
praise of his glory” (Eph. 1:12).
The eternal, omnipotent God will
bring the history of His dealings
with mankind to a glorious ending.
The last book of the Bible comes to
its last pages where, after dealing
with the final struggle of man with
his enemy Satan (which has gone
on since the entrance of sin into the
world in the Garden of Eden), we
find the glorious, God-given revela
tion of the “divine, final restoration
of the universe, a picture of the
home where we who love the Lord
Jesus will forever dwell.”
I. “The Tabernacle of God Is with
Men” (w. 1-7).
Our God is always with His peo
ple, but there is a promise of the
time when He shall “pitch His tent”
(for thus we might translate the
word “tabernacle”) in their very
midst and “be with them” in full
and unhindered fellowship. This He
once did for a time when “the Word
was made flesh and dwelt among
us” (John 1:14), or literally “tab
ernacled among us.” In the day of
which our lesson speaks He will
come to live permanently with His
people
The blessings of His divine pres
ence are beautifully described in
verses 4 to 6. There will be no
more tears, because every occasion
for them is gone. There will be no
death, pain or sorrow, for the one
who sits upon the throne will have
made everything new.
Christianity does not evade the
question of sorrow and suffering,
but it does point to a glorious day
when they will be done forever.
What a precious promise!
II. “The Holy City . . . Having the
Glory of God” (w. 10-12).
The description of the holy city
is differently interpreted, but per
haps the best one is that it will be
in the form of a pyramid on a
square base 1,500 miles in width
and length (12,000 furlongs—v. 16),
rising in terraces, and 1,500 miles
high at the top.
The description of the city is glo
rious beyond words (read 21:1
through 22:7), but the crowning fact
of all is that it has “the glory of
God.” His presence means more than
all the glories of precious stones and
of “pure gold, like unto clear glass.”
He is more than His gifts, and His
presence is more glorious than all
His mighty works.
III. God the Almighty and the
Lamb Are the Temple (w. 22).
As long as we live under the pres
ent conditions of life, we cannot do
without a place to meet to worship
God and to receive spiritual help
and strength—a temple. But when
the redeemed are gathered in the
Holy City they will have no need
for a temple. The place of meeting
with God “which now has to be de
limited from the world, and set
apart for God—yes, and held with
determination and force of will
against invading hosts—has there
expanded to cover the whole area
of human experience and activity.
God’s presence has no longer to be
sought; it is known; it is felt, uni
versal and all-pervading as the
light of day” (C. Anderson Scott).
IV. No Need of the Sun—the Glory
of God Did Light It (vv. 23, 24).
The great need of man in this
world is light. He rejoices in the
sun as it sheds its lifegiving rays
upon the earth. He does his work
and finds his healthful recreation in
the day. When darkness comes, he
must have illumination, that he may
read, study, work, or fellowship with
others. From the flickering pine
knot man went on to the candle, to
the lamp; and now in most places
he floods his city and its homes
with the light of electricity. But
even so there is too much darkness
in the world, and the men who love
darkness rather than light (see John
3:19) are able to practice their evil
deeds.
In the New Jerusalem all will be
light, for the One who is light (I
John 1:5) and the source of all light,
permits His glory to shine forth
and “lighten it.” Jesus, the Lamb,
who is the light of the world (John
8:12), is the never failing lamp of
the city.
Ih such light not only the nations
of the earth, but their kings as well,
will want to walk, doing honor with
all their glory to the One who is
all-glorious. The verses which fol
low our lesson tell us that the gates
of the city shall never be closed,
but only that which is good and
honorable shall enter in. Nothing
sinful, vile, or false shall come with
in its blessed portals.

A well-known British dramatic
agent, Golding Bright, who died
recently, handled Shaw’s plays
among others. But on their first
encounter Bright was in the gal
lery on a Shaw first night. It
seems he was the only member
of the audience who' didn’t like
the play. Anyway, 'when Shaw
came forward to take the “au
thor” call, Bright greeted him
with a full-lunged “Boo!”
“Quite, my dear sir,” said
Shaw. “But what are you and I
among so many?”
