Fresident W ilson will ask the national

The plunk was formulated by Senator
Carter (Jlasn, was submitted by hitn to
SI r. Wilson and received the hitter's
indorsement. It rends thus:
"The Democratic party of Virginia
favors a League of Nations as the sur
est. If not the only, practicable means
of maintaining the permanent peace
of the world and terminating the in
snffernhle burden of great military
and naval establishments. It was to
form this that America broke away
from traditional l.-nlation and spent
her blood and treasure to crush a
colossal scheme of conquest.
"We felicitate the president and his
associates on the exceptional achieve
ment at I'uris involved in the adoption
of a league and treaty so near akin
to American ideals and so intimately
related to the aspirations of civilized
people, everywhere.
"We condemn the Ilepiibliean senate
for Its refusal to ratify the treaty
merely because it was the product of
I'l'iiioci at ic statesmanship, Interposing
partisan envy and personal, hatred In

"We advocate prompt rat mention of
the treaty without re-erval ions which
would impair lis essential integrity.
Only by doing this m; we retrieve
tie ripiilailoii of this nation among
the powers of the earth and recover
the moral leadership which Wilson
won and which with amazing indiffer

to sharpen their Instiaimenis of hus

have their tools sharpened. Saul him

Two Sacraments,
In the church of Christ t!nre are tw
sacraments the material of one Is thf
commonest of all elements, water; thf
form of the other the commonest of nl'
acts, a meal. Now there are two way
in which reverence may be manifested
toward anything or person : One, by
exalting that thing or person hy meam
of the depreciation of all others; an
other, by exalting all others through it
The sacraments are honor!
when they consecrate all things ant!
acts of life. F. W. Robertson.
