FREE PORTS
BUILDERS OF
f COMMERCE
—
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRO
PRIATIONS.
By Peter Radford.
Thiß nation 1b now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce lias
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de
mandß for the products of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are Inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the ocean’s
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion of our ports for the pro
ducts of the farm must pans over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 51 ports, of which
41 are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $51,000,-
000 for Improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $50,000,000 ,
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangiblo service is rendered.
The latter item should bo lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this na
tion and this can he done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
lliat are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. It takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of a free port
ami none can be more easily and ef
fectively secured.

WHY I SHOULD BE A MEM
BER OF THE YOUNG PEO
PLES MISSIONARY SOCIETY
(By the Sectary)
Tine Young People’s Missionary So
ciety is not so very old. It came
into being with the anion otf the wo
man's societies, five years u#n. The
Young People’s auxiliarhs of the
Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society
formed a nucleus of the new organi
zation. The first annual report of
the Young Peoples Missionary Soci
ety gave no figures. The second- an
nual report (for 19111 showed six
hundred and eight societies. The
number has now grown to 1300 soei
<tk*> with a membership of 23,000
What are the aims of these Young
People banded together under this
name. They wear a pin shaped like
a shield; they carry a banner in
scribed “loyalty” These are em
blems with a meaning.
The message of the pin is three
fold. The colors, green and gold, in
dicate that youth is life’s greea
and gold. The white band under the
lettering is for purity. The shape
is a shield based on the verse “inis
truth shan be thy shield. Youth,
purity and eternal truth, so runs the
message of the pin.
The letters Y. P. M. S., everybody
knows, means Yeung Peoples Mis
sionary Soicety. But they mean in
finitely more than that, They are
letters with which to conjure, bring
:uig up visions and setting hopes
on high. They have Leon likened to
a gr-at stream flowing through thg
ijurch, bringing i'rt.-hia s to women
and girls’ everywhere*. To point out
an open drsor that leads to larger life,
is as great a service a one human
being can render another. To open
dors, one after another to youth,
the most beautiful and hopeful tilling
in life, to direct its forces without
waste; to train its energies without
strain— those are the aims of the Y
P. M. S.
The doors. There i the door of
efficiency through organized effort.
Twenty-three thousand young people
working together accomplish incon
ceivably more than the same number
working individually and alone.
The door of child-rem’® work is open
in every auxiliary.
The door of Social Service —It. is
the duty of all young people of our
progressive Methodism to make all
li s favored young life, whether in
the slums and factory district® of
our own land or in the ignorance and
superstition of iwigan countries, bright
er and better. One may fancy Y. P.
M. S. in this connection to mean,
“Youthful persishanee moves society’’
Ttie door of mission study; for is
not information, inspiration. The
door of knowledge of the other half
of tlie great human family, of world
wide interest, of benevolence (a
word dear to Methodism) of deeper
spirituality and sometimes, loss rare
ly than formerly is opened the door,
marked “service” for is not loving,
serving.
We seem to have a right to some
little luxuries yet have we not a
right to self-developements. Surely
God intended that we should beauti-
fy our lives with "whatsoever things
are lovely" Doubtless if all gave as
they should for the kingdom, each
would have enough left for the emen
Itee of life; hut when most fail to do
their share those who would glorify
God and meet their increased respon
sibilities under these strained condi
tions must forego what would other
wise be theirs by right.
The occasion, for misionary activ
ity, Jesus saw in the Shepherdless
masses about Him as long as these
masses continue to suffer from ills
they cannot bear alone or cure, so
long does the true and original Chris
tians continue to appeal to us.

can never stand tulone.
The requirements for membership
in the Y. P. M. S are: Prayer ser
vice and a stated monthly offering.
But the free will offering is Hie
expression of the highest ideal in
missionary giving. The principles of
giving are: All will give something
1 each one will give as much as
she is able; each one w ill give cheer
fully.
How shell we keep interested.
There is no way so good as keeping
you. seif interested.
The Y. P. M. S. 5 s to the young
people what the trellis is to the
vine. It is a great and glorious priv
ilege to be a part of that far-reach
ing vine of love and service, there
by we are "going into all pails of
the world."

But he who forgets not the flower
of the meadow is gleaming o’er her

In counting the flocks of his fold
he has missed her and says: "If ye
