Mortgage Moratorium Not New The mortgage moratorium, whicis is more or less generally regarded as a new device for the relief erf the' oppressed in time of widespread economic disturbance, is not new at. all. The ancients knew about it. It was employed about 4.18& years: ago, to brftig economic protection to a people who, because of conditions over which they had po control, could not meet their obligations. The following quotation, which is found in the Code of Hammurabi {Harp er's Second Edition—l9o4), is offered us proof the moratorium is not new: “If a man owe a debt and Adad (the storm god) inundates his ffeldt and carry away the produce, or, through lack of water, grain fcave not grown in the field, in that year he shall not make any return to the creditor, he shall alter his con tract-tablet and he shall not pay the interest for that year." Known as ‘Crusaders Hymn* Regarding the origin of the hymi “Fairest Lord Jesus,” Cynthi; Pearl Maus says; “Although thi hymn is known as the ‘Crusader Hymn,’ it is doubtful that the Cn saders ever sang it. The word were written in 1677, and Richard Storrs Willis (1819-1900) translated the original German in which it was written and published thehymra in America in 1850. The tune' ‘Cnn saders Hymn’ was arranged by. Pro fessor Willis from a Silesian folk song which appeared in a ealleolion of folk songs in 1842. Richaud Wil lis was a musician and a newspa per man.” Robert Louis Stevenson’s Prayer A prayer by Robert Louis Steven son was as follows: “The day re turns and brings us the petty Riitind of irritating concerns and duties. Help us to play the man, help w to perform them with laughter and kind faces. Let cheerfulness alxrund with industry. Give us to go bltltady on our business all this day. Bring, us to our resting beds weary and content and undishonored and grant us in the end the gift of sleep.’* t Never Call ‘Quits’ Abraham Lincoln, in his own esti mation, was down and out of poli tics at the age of 50. He felt Uust he had been unable to achieve one single personal victory in 30 years of constant effort. And yet only a short time later, this man who had! experienced so many disappoint ments and heartaches, this man vtho considered himself an utter failure, had by a stroke of destiny, beccone President of the United States. , *fF A man should be judged bjr the way he handles a job, not the size of it.
