FAYETTEVILLE TO SUMPTUOUS FUR FABRICS; S Let me entreat one thins of thee and 1 will adventure to promise thee a good year. The request is In itself reasonable and may to thee be eternally profitable. It is only this: duly, to prize and diligent ly to improve time for the blessed end it was given, for and is yet graciously con tinued unto thee by eternal God. REV. JOHN SHERMAN (1613-1685). - By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN HAT of the checks that A T I you and I are going to I Xf xf I draw on the Bank of keep on drawlngchecka through the year? . "There's nothing new under the sun,' according to --a very old saying. It's true, too. In a sense. But In another sense it most certainly Isn't true. For there is something new every time New Year's day cornea around.: - :f-l::: There are several things that are new at New Year's beside the New Year. There's a hew chance. There's a, new responsibility. There's a new balance In the Bank of Time. There's a new bank book. So, what will the check stubs "show at the end of the year?" " " " ' :. " Rev. John Sherman, had a right , to make his "reasonable request," if prac ticing -what one preaches gives that rlght His "three score and ten" were busy years. He was born at Dedhani, Essex, England, and before he was twenty-one he was an AB. and A. M. of Trinity college, Cambridge, a min ister of the Church of England and a Puritan On his way across the Atlantic to the Massachusetts Bay "colony. There was no chorch for him, since the only three In existence Boston, . Salem and Watertown -had efficient ministers. So he was one of the "orig inal planters" of Wethersfield, Conn., and a "watcher," 1634-40. Then he was one of the founders of MHford, New Haven plantation. Next he wa? a magistrate representing MIIfonMn the New Haven colony and also charged with the duty of dividing land. Meanwhile he preached; wherever op portunity offered. ' In 1647 he became the minister of the Watertown church. There he preached till his death in 1685. Church and state were pretty much the same thing in thos,e days, so the v village af fairs kept him a busy-man. ' He found tlmer however, to- publish for' many years an almanac, for which he made all the astronomical calculations and wrote the text. He was also the first -fellow and overseer of "Harvard uni versity. Incidentally he also found time o marry twice. Cotton Mather in his "'Magnalla Christl Americana," says he "had, 26 "children; this is a misstate ment, but he did have 16. His epl ' taph In Latin on the tombstone in East Waltham,...Mass., thus sums up his : life: .. '' "Sacred to the memory - of , John Sherman, a man distinguished for pi ety, "character, and truth ; ; a prof oundj theologian ; as a preacher a veritable Chrysostom ; unsurpassed In his knowl edge of the -liberal arts, particularly "mathematics ; ' a "faithful pastor of the Let us hope that the" "reasonable request" that thiss early Puritan put to himself was to hlin "eternally prof itable." In any event, he stands forth as a fine sample of a sturdy American pioneer family that has given four immortals to the nation Roger Sher man, one of the framers of the Dec laration of Independence; General W. T. Sherman; Secretary of State John Sherman; Vice President James S. Sherman. ''. Certainly 1ils request Is one that is always reasonable. And It is one that was never more reasonable than now. The year 1922 is a year when every good American should endeavor "duly to prize and diligently to Ira prove time." It Is a year with a chal lenge. It Is a S'ear with a promise. - Though In foltf and Jn blln'dnesa And in sorrow still we grope, Yet In man's increasing kindness Lies the world's stupendous hope. And it Is a reasonable request to ev ery red-blooded, thinking, patriotic American. Such a man knows that nobody can stand still; that he has either to progress or fall back. The progressive man accepts responsibili ties as the measure -of his capabili ties. He never shirks them, for he rec ognizes In them the price be must pay for advancement. ? 3 1 .

Any man or wom an can at least help by setting a good example. . : :sxl r :lri ; A good American can help just flow by putting his respect-for the law strongly in evidence For the law U the law. If it is a poor law, it should be changed. But until It is changed, it should be obeyed whether it re lates to the shooting of game birds or to the use of liquor or to the speed of automobiles or to' murder or to anarchy. Many people who would hotly resent the charge tftat' they are anarchists take delight in evadittg the laws and in making sport of the taws. Every thinking man must . restftee that this Twentieth century eivfttm atlon is too complex to te sane, sS and sober.
