A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
He hath showed thee, O man, what
is good; and what doth the Lord re
quire of tjnee, but to do justly, and to
love mercy, and to walk humbly with
thy G c d?—Micah 6:8.
It is an utterly low view of busi
ness which regards it only as a means
of getting a living. A man’s business
is his part of the world’s work, his
share in the great activities which
render society possible. He may like
it or dislike it, but it is work, and
as such, .requires application, self
denial, discipline.—-Pall Mai] Gazette,
Loudon.
EDITORIAL.
POPE BENEDICT.
A SCHOLAR, a trained diplomat,
aristocrat, with the traditional
Genoese trait of shrewdness in mon
ey matters—
frail, somewhat bent, thin
and angular, with a weak, inharmoni
ous voice—
Yet triumphing over all of these
with the inherent force of his char
acter and mind.
That was Pope Benedict XV (Gia
como Della Chiesa,) dead today
in Rome, who had served as pope
since Sept. 3, 1914, when he was
chosen the 260th pope, to succeed
Pius X.
In the difficult years that he
directed the policy of the Roman
Catholic church, Benedict XV made
relations' between the Vatican and
the Italian government easier, and
took and interested part in world af
fairs.
The revival of the Vatican as a
great power in diplomacy is the per
sonal achievement of Benedict XV.
During the World War he ap
pealed to all the belligerents in be
half of peace. zHe voiced his pro
posals for ending the conflict on
four separate occasions. On the last
occasion his document called forth
the noteworthy reply from President
Wilson as spokesman for the Allies.
He was strongly in favor of the
League of Nations plans and as
strongly against communism and
bolshevism.
When America entered the World
War Pope Benedict XV expressed a
belief that the country’s participa
tion would likely facilititate the ap
proach of world peace.
After the war he declared in fa
vor of the Washington arms confer
ence.
Born in Pagli, in the diocese of
Genoa, Nov. 21, 1854, the son of a
wealthy nobleman, Benedit XV got
a thorough grounding in his boy
hood studies. He decided to enter
the priesthood early in life and pre
pared for it in the schools at Genoa.
In 1876 he entered the Caprani-
Can college at Rome and finally be-,
came a student at the Academy of
Noble Ecclesiastics.
His studies were completed in the
last days of Pope Pius IX and he
Was ordained to the priesthood in
1878, at the age of 25.
Shortly after he went to Madrid
With Archbishop Rampolla and on
his return was made a permanent
lender secretary of the secretariate
Os state.
He rose rapidly from that time on,
ill "the ranks of the church, being
made archbishop of Bologna in 1907.
After seven' years he was elevated
to the College of Cardinals.
When chosen pope, he at once
took the' name of Benedict XV. He
was crowned pope on Sept. 8, 1914,
five days after being chosen.

Mr. Crane apologized for his ap
pearance because he’d just come
from the factory, he said, and hadn't
had time to change his clothes. He
had on a big apron, a workman’s
cap, and Carried a large pair of scis
sors.
‘‘Factory!” exclaimed Nick. “Up
in the sky!”
“Yes,” nodded the crane. “Does
that surprise you? Why, we have
one of the most useful factories in
Fairyland. W/>uld you like to see
it?”
“Yes, thank you,” put in Nancy
quickly, "but we came to see where
the runaway feathers blow to that

go there first with Buskins. Then
we can see your factqry on our way

"Oh, well then,” said Nancy, "I
guess We’d better go with you at
once, hadn’t we Buskins?”
Buskins said yes, so off they all
started down the road of this queer 1
country up in the sky where they
were to see more magic. It seemed
to the little boy and girl that each
one of the Fairy Queen’s Nine Hun
dred and Ninety-Nine Kingdoms that
they visited grew more interesting.
Nick whispered to Nancy. “Isn’t it
puzzling, though, why Mother
Goose’s feathers go down, while ours
come up to the sky!”
Buskins overheard. "Don’t believe
everything you hear about Mother

wrong.”
