Wednesday President in the Senate, sOme of the League of Nations opponents 1 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.

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. N. Y.
