Tracing St. Valentine’s Day To It’s Origin By Charles Francis Potter Why has the name of such a pious, earnest Christian martyr as St. Valentine been connected with the frivolous lace-paper love con ceit popularly known as a valen tine? One interpretation of the connec tion between the saint and the lover’s feast is the suggestion made by Dr. Butler in his “Lives of the Saints” concerning a custom among the ancient Romans of cele brating a festival on the 14th of February in honor of their god dess, Februata Juno. At this feast it was the practice for boys to draw by lot the names or girls, with whom they shared in the cele bration. The early Christian pastors, it is said, desired to abolish what they called “this lewd custom of the heathen.” Knowing that it would be impossible to eradicate it immediately, they proceeded to Christianize it by substituting the names of saints for the names of the girls. An old commentator says, “Thus in the mutation of time the custom has grown which now takes the form of valentines.” Officer: “Why were you rac ing through town at that rate?” Man: “My brakes were out of order and I wanted to get home before there was an accident.” Two Great Americans “The Sun Hath Come Down” on the lives of these great Americans; but with the dawn of each new day their contributions to the Ameri can way of life will be recalled in the hearts and minds of their countrymen. George Washington is our first and most cherished love. He will live an everlasting life in our hearts and minds. Surely there ^vere men before his day, and others have lived since who were wise, courageous, and good. The American nation must have been conceived in the minds of the first of those. But as a nation, she was. not really born before 1774, and the first love of that young America was Washington. Her first word was his name; and she still proudly proclaims it. “It will be the last gasp of her expir ing life!” It is true that the val ues of other Americans have been recognized, admired, and praised by all—“but him we love; him we all love.” ‘‘About and around him we call up no dissentient, discordant, and dissatisfied elements—no sec tional projudices nor bias—no party, no creed, no dogma of poli tics. None of these shall assail him. Yet; when the storm of the battle blows darkest and rages higlu sl, the memory of Washing ton shall nerve every American i heart.” ! Abraham Lincoln was born and, | until he became President, always lived in a part of the country which, at the period of the Dec laration of Independence, was a savage wilderness. It was a strange but happy fate, that caused this back-woodsman to feel called upon to uphold the pledges and promises of the Declaration! He was un educated in the sense that the term would mean today; but he gave statesmen and educators things to think about for hundreds of years to come. He advocated the fulfiil- ment of life not only for the down trodden race in America, but for all people for all time who may seek protection under our flag. He accepted war to save the Union, the safeguard of our liberties, and re-established it on indestructible foundations as forever “one and indivisible.” It has been said of Lin coln, “He is the true history of the American people in his time. Step by step he walked be fore them; slow with their slow ness, quickening his march by theirs, the true representative of this continent; an entirely public man; father of his country, the pulse of twenty-millions throbbing in his heart, the thought of their minds articulated by his tongue.” To quote the words of Lincoln Kasic sweet for date or travel . . . white pique litted jacket ending in scallops which tops an ahuost-oir-the-shoulder tli'ess with cap sleeves and ilare and llirty skirt!

All In Fun The visitor was examining the class and pulled this fast one. ‘‘Can any little boy tell me what a fish net is made of?” The never-failing bright boy knew the answer. “It’s a lot of little holes lied together with a siring.” Minister: “And what docs your mother do for you when you’ve been a good girl?” Little Girl: “She lets me stay home from church.” An aviator flying over a city had to take to his parachute be cause of engine trouble. On his way through space he met a man floating up. “Hey!”he shouted. “Have you seen an airplane going down?” “No,” replied the man. ‘‘Have you seen a boiler going up?” “Do you really love her?” “Do I love her? Why, I wor ship the ground her father struck oil on f” himself—“Now we are contend ing that this nation under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.”
