99 pry: GREAT national convection will be held in the city of Bal timore next January with a unique object in view. The purpose of the gathering is, to promote the "See America First" movement , and; to de vise means of arousing senti ment on the subject through out the length and breadth of the United States. President Taft has already expressed his entire sympathy with the move ment and promised to be pres ent and speak at tfte conven tion. It Is likewise expected that the governor of every state in the Union wtu eitner ua present in person or be officially represented by some spokesman of standing in the com monwealth from which he halls, in addition to the national and state officials there wtu oe prominent men and women in all walks or tne and many persons wno are deeply interested In the project for unselfish reasons. The "See America First" crusade uas Deen gradually taxing form and gaining supporters for several years past, but the forthcoming gathering In the Monumental City will be the first ef fort to supplement sentiment with practical "missionary work" amaug 1 Vtm- 7 5 i wash 1 AT flla"s, Capacity Only Limit " " rRKY n rr.T n God hloeonn .

Thus it is that material blessings axe lim e only by man's ability to see and I propriate them. But material blessings are real blessings only to those who have the eyes to see them aright. If they see wealth as , an opportunity to serve their fellows through the channels ol egitimate business or philanthropy It will bless them, but if they see'it iuugn carnal eyes, simply an op portunity for the gratification of the flesh, it will cause them to forget God ands brotherliness, and to grow cold ' and haughty. It will lead them into a mad rush for pleasure, causing them to commit involuntary suicide, burn ing out the candle of life at beta ends. To leave the ordinary youn" man $50,000 is equal to a through ticket to hell. Wealth is a cm t seem to be more prone than are those west pf it to rush off to Europe with out having traveled to any extent at home, so that the communities near the Atlantic sea board are particu larly in need of such missionary work.

For one thing many of the most notable scenic won ders of the world are located in western Amer ica, so that naturally there is sound logic in advising people to see them before risking seasickness to view something not half so im pressive. Secondly, there Is the circumstance that the people east of the Mississippi river comes a real blessing. This is a glorious or horrid old world, according to one's point of view.

If he has been reared to view them as an evil or misfortune, he will be able to find no pleasure in them; but if he sees them as God-given and a blessing, he can aay. as did the woman of old, "these are my jewels."

He must view thing's from the spiritual rather than from the carnal point of view to be satis fled and happy. Thousands are happy with litle and others are miserable with much.

No foreign watering place presents beach spectacles equal to those of At lantic City and there is no lake district in the , world more beautiful than the Adlrondacks. For the American with any patriotism In his make up no tour could be more inspiring than visits to the first landing place of the Pilgrims, Con cord, Lexington, Bunker Hill and the other his toric meccas of New England, and finally, the tourist should not forget Uncle Sam's seat of government,- conceded by foreigners to be the most beautiful capital In the world.
