All ot the bis^fobacco buyers ot tbi j today are discussing plans to make withdrawal of the United
State* from the League of Nations an issue in the 1920 campaign
Washington, July 14—The keynote of the administration’s
defense of the League of Nations, sounded in the Senate in' a
speech by Senator Swanson, is that the requirements for con
currence of the United States in every decision of the League
Council absolutely guarantees this nation against the surren
der of its sovereignty.
Swanson answered in detail every objection to the League
Covenant. In each case he pointed to the provision that every
decision must be by unanimous vote, including that of the
United Stales.- After the Council has acted, Congress still has
the power to refuse American acceptance of the Council’s ad
vice in every case, Swanson declared.
The President today reiterated his willingness to Senator
Hitchcock to appear before the Foreign Relations Committee
to explain the treaty and League Covenant, but requested that
he be given plenty of advance notice.
The itinerary of his cross-country trip is expected to be an
nounced this week.

EXAMPLE NOT TALK
INFLUENCES PEOPLE
You Mu* Sect Your Children the Right
Example if You Want Them to Live
Rifht, Says Dr. Patterson.
“You -can talk to a man all your lift
without convincing him. Yougnust a<
live your life as to set aiyfPwmple foi
him to follow," said Dr. ArL. Pattersor
in his sermon on “The Borrowed Axe” at
Presbyterian church Wednesday.
night
He told the parents who wish to bring
their children up right to set them the
right example. They follow your ex
ample and to give them the right kind ol
training you must live a life that they
can emulate. Your influence depends on
what you do and are, not what you say
Dr. Patterson read for the scripturi
lesson the first scvln verses of Seconi
Kings, sixth chapter. His text was,
“Alas Master it was borrowed.” Th<
story was that of Elisha and the sons oi
the prophets, theological students, whe
started out to erect a larger building
They went to the river Jordan to cut
timber, one of the young meu borrowing
nn axe. He was felling a tree on th»
river bank when the axe slipping from
the handle into the river. Elisha asket’
the place where it fell, threw in a stick
the axe rose to the surface and was re
covered.
Likes Man Ready to do His Pari.
Calling attention to the young mer
ho shucked their coats and went tc
work, Dr. Patterson said he didn’t like
to see a man who was not ready to di
his part and who wns afraid of work.
Most people have no consideration foi
borrowed property, but it was a redeem
ing feature of this' young man that he
regretted the lost of the axe most because
it was borrowed. The axe waa describ
ed ns a borrowed blessing.
How many borrowed blessings are you
enjoying?” Mr. Patterson asked. Nine
ty nine out of ever hundred tempora*
blessings we enjoy are borrowed bless
ings. We are indebted to other people
for them. He then told of our indebted
ness to others for the comforts of life
and the freedom of American citixenship
As many blessings os we have, we can
lose them all. He told how Rome ane’
Greece had lost, and said America conic*
lose its blessings too. Reciting Sodom’i
destruction, he said Tifton could lose it*
blessings too. These places lost theii
borrowed blessings, because they misuse**
and abused them; Are you misusing
your blessings? You will lose your bles
sings unless you measure up to the stand
nrd with pure hearts and clean, strong
hands.
Men are constantly losing out in the
church of God because they fail to make
proper use of their blessings. They lose
the joy of religion by misuse and abuse of
their blessings. Dr. Patterson said
could give a specific for anyone who lute
lost the joy of religion. "Visit the needy
and destitute. Read the word of God te
them pray with them and shake theii
hands, and your joy will come back tc
you.”
For the man who has lost his borrow
ed blessings and wants to regain them
Dr. Patterson said he must go back tc
the place where they were lost and tike
up hia work there, where it was left off
Anything lost can only be found where i
was lost, he said. These lost bleating*
recovered bring sunshine and joy.
Man can do wonders, but he can’t save
himself. That can be done only by di
vine grace. The speaker gave seven'
examples showing the miracles of divine
grace.
