HONOmNG THE CONSTITUTION
Schoo] and civic organizations will
give deserved attention Monday to
the 147th anniversary of the signing
of the Constitution of the United
States. For nearly a century and a
half of national expansion and in-
dustrial revolution, this charter has
served thepolitical needs of a rapid-
ly changing Nation. Moreover, it
has been copied closely in some Latin
American countries and has in-
fluenced the governmental systems
of Australia and other common-
wealths. Today, with only twenty-
one amendments, the Constitution
stands as a notabie monument to the
judgment and foresight of its
authors.
The study of the Constitution
will have greater value, however, if
the document is approached realisti
cally rather than sentimentally and
if the system it imposes is examined
by comparing it with those of other
nations. There is no valid reason,
for instance, why American citizens
should not be honest enough to ad-
mit that the British system, while
inferior to ours in many ways, offers
several advantages not allowed by
the American plan. It is more flex-
ible and may be changed merely by
Parliamentary action; its laws may
not be declared unconstitutional by a
court; and its Cabinet members are
responsible to elected legislators.
The present danger in regard to
the American Constitution is not so
much that it will be forgotten or
overthrown as that it will become a
fetish, and object of Mind worship,
a holy relic of poiitical fundamen
talism. Even the staid American Bat-
Association has gone so far as to
declare enotionaliy that the Con-
stitution ought to be as actual a
part of life and religion as the Scr
mon on the Mount.
On the one hand, we need ever to
defend and to keep in action the
democratic principles and the bill of
rights embodied in our Constitution.
On the other hand, we need to re-
member that the Constitution is a
human document and that some-
times nations benefit by changing
or replacing their basic charters as
political science advances. While our
Constitution of 147 years ago holds
Temarkably well today, even under
the new deal, the time conceivably
may come when conditions will de-
mand that it be thoroughly revised.
!n such a day, the regarding of the
Constitution as a divinely inspired
document might be adepiorable
hindrance to American progress.—

Subject Sunday morning, "Right-

We were pleased with the attend
anca last Sunday at each of the ser-
vices. Especially were we delighted
with the congregation that came
from Cold Springs for the Epworth
League program which was rendered
by their League and were very much
pleased by the many that remained
for the preaching service.
There remains only one more Sun-
day in which to get ready for "Rally
and Promotion Day." Let's get the
habit of attending so that we can
begin the New Sunday School Year
on the first Sunday in October with
a full enrollment with new enthu-
siasm and a real vision for the fu-
ture success of the school.
It is less than two months until
Conference convenes and we will
have to render our report at that
time, whether good or bad, and so
far as you are concerned it will be
just what you make it possible to
be. Let's make the best showing that
we can under the circumstances.
We extend a welcome to the new
members that have come into the
Church this year and hope that the
ensuing year will mean a great deal
to them in their association with us
in the work of the Kingdom of God."
Wp are delighted to have visitors
"worship with us. If there are those
in the community that have no
church home we shall be glad to we!
come you as regular worshipers
among us and assure you that no
Word will be said that reflects upon
your church.

Memory of Beatrice Parith
Our little friend has gone away;
We miss her smile in school today.
A sadness, heavy-hanging, deep,
Descends, for Beatrice lies asleep.
We know not why; we only know
That God saw fit for her to go;
Our eyes see not as those divine,
Behind our clouds His sun doth shine.
On other shores, afar from pain,
We think she smiles, in joy, agai'i
And understands it all today;
While we can only weep and pray.
But memory shall cling to the days
We knew and loved her sunny ways;
We carry on—'tis all we know,
But thinking softly of her as we go.
