“Garrison Finish”
! ”T'HAT was a garrison finish!”
you exclaim when the home
' team, which has been trailing for
: most of the game, comes f rom be
hind to win in the last minute of
; play. And when you say that you
I are perpetuating the fame—not of
a baseball or a football player, but
of a jockey!
Edward H. Garrison was his
name and he started life as a black
smith’s helper in New Haven, Conn.
i Then he began hanging around the
| racetracks and occasionally was
given the job of exercising one of
i the thoroughbreds. It wasn’t long
’ until he was a full-fledged jockey,
who made it a practice to hold his
I mounts in during the greater part
; of a race because he mistrusted
: the staying power of a “front run
। ner.” Then he began to boot and
j whip as they came down into the
! stretch where, as he said, “the mon
: ey is.”
In 1886 one of these “come-from
behind-to-win” drives carried an
outsider, Dutch Roller, owned by
James R. Keene, to victory in the
Great Eastern handicap at Sheeps
bead Bay, N. Y., and after that a
“Garrison finish” became a by
word on the turf. But more famous
than that was Garrison's victory on
Boundless in the $60,000 World Fair
derby in Chicago in 1893.
When the entries in this race went
to the post, Garrison begat, to stall.
; On one pretext or another, such as
| fixing his straps and his saddle, he
n.anaged to delay the start of the
race for an hour and 42 minutes!
He spent most of this time on the
ground, thus taking the weight off
his horse, while the other horses
were fidgeting and wearing them
selves out under the weight of their
riders.
When at last they were sent away
tc the excited cheers of 100,000
spectators, Boundless’ jockey
trailed the field for almost the en
tire race. Then there was another
“Garrison finish” and Boundless, a
15 to 1 shot, came home the win
ner of s6o,ooo—or rather $59,000 for
the judges fined Garrison SI,OOO for
his part in the delay at the post.
“Snapper” won, lost and partly
regained a fortune in racing. He
quit as a jockey in 1897 and later
served as an official at numerous
tracks in the South. His last days
were spent in Florida where he
died a few years ago at the age of
sixty-two.
John Smith T.
HIS name was John T. Smith
But that was too common. So, !
in order to make people ten ember
his name he began signing it “John
Smith T.” As such it has come
down in history, albeit the figure of
the man who bore it is a shadowy
one. We know that he was famous
in the early days of Missouri as a
duelist and land speculator and that
he caused considerable trouble for
Moses Austin before that worthy
went to the Southwest to play an
important role in the history of the
Republic of Texas.
Historians are beginning to sus
pect that John Smith T. was deeply
involved in the Burr conspiracy, as
was another John Smith—a United
States senator from Ohio who
missed being expelled from the sen
ate by just one vote. But how prom
inent John Smith T. was in that mis
guided adventure is still unknown
and he is remembered chiefly be
cause he was uniquely successful
in escaping oblivion when “Fate
tried to conceal him by naming him
Smith!”
At least four others who at
tempted to thwart Fate thus are re
corded in the rolls of the United
States army. J. Allen Smith of
Pennsylvania changed his name to
J. A. S. Izard when he entered the
United States Military academy at
West Point but when he was gradu
ated in 1825 he resumed his real
name. One of his classmates was
Joseph Brice Smith, who was
graduated as Joseph S. Bryce, be
came a second lieutenant and re
signed from the army in 1832. At
the outbreak of the Civil war he be
came a captain of volunteers and
in 1865 was brevetted a major for
gallantry during the war. In 1830
a William Smith entered West Point
as “William D. Fraser” but he was
graduated under his right name. Ha
rose to a captaincy and was brevet
ted a major in 1848 for “merito
rious service” during the Mexican
war.
The fourth Smith who changed his
name rose the highest in military
life. He was Morgan Lewis Smith,
who for some unknown reason en
listed in the army in 1845 under
the name of Martin L. Sanford and
served as private, corporal and ser
geant during the next five years.
The outbreak of the Civil war found
him using his real name again.
He became colonel of the Eighth
Missouri infantry in 1861 and was
made a brigadier-general of volun
teers in 1862, holding that rank unti
, he resigned in 1865.

Temperance Sunday brings a
greatly needed opportunity to con
sider the entire question of intoxi
cating liquors. When the prohibi
tion amendment was under fire the
proponents of repeal contended that
it would reduce taxes, cut down un
employment, eliminate bootleg liq
uor, return men and women to tem
perate and decent habits. It is
worthwhile noting that not a single
one of these expected benefits has
materialized.
Taxes on liquor have not reduced
general taxes. After all, what de
cent American would want his taxes
cut with “blood-money”? Bootleg
ging thrives more flagrantly than
ever. Evasion of liquor taxes in
dicates that about half of America’s
liquor is “bootleg.” The specter of
unemployment still stalks the land.
And are our people temperate? One
could laugh if it were not so tragic!
The consumption of liquor is fast
becoming a national disgrace. And
the tragedy is that Christians have
for the most part supinely said
“What can I do?” and have done
nothing.
The repeal of prohibition was
brought about by the indifference
of American voters. The issue was
finally settled by the votes of less
than 23 per cent of the registered
voters. Where were the other 77
per cent ? Where are they now?
But our lesson goes deeper than
the matter of intoxicating liquor.
It deals with two contrasted modes
of living. What a man is deter
mines what he does. If he lives
for the flesh he will pander to its
tastes. If he lives in the Spirit he
will not only be right in his atti
tude toward liquor but toward every
phase of life, yes, even toward eat
ing.
Let us consider these two ways of
life—and weigh carefully our own
life decision. In which way do I
walk? Remember that one may live
to the flesh even though he is not
a winebibber. It is a matter of
heart interest and relationship to
God.
I. Living in the Flesh.
The word flesh in Scripture does
not refer to our physical flesh and
blood, except as it is dominated by
I self-will. But when self-will rules
the body, and God's will is ruled
out, a man lives in the flesh.
Our lesson gives a terrifying pic
ture of such a life. It makes a man
a senseless lover of pleasure for
pleasure’s sake (Prov. 21:17). He
is a lover of wine, a glutton (Prov.
23:20, 21), careless (Matt. 24:48),
disorderly and unfaithful (v. 49),
and a professed follower of Christ
because of what it brings him
(John 6:26). His end even in this
world is disgrace and poverty, and
in the world to come, eternal judg
ment (Matt. 24:51).
11. Living in the Spirit.
“They that are Christ’s have cru
cified the flesh with the affections
and lusts” (Gal. 5:24). They are
therefore admonished to “walk in
the Spirit,” that is, to submit their
lives to the control and guidance
of the Spirit of God. In other words
seek God’s will, not self-will.
What kind of men and women are
those who live in “the spirit”? A
re-reading of our lesson texts re
veals them as, wise, faithful, dili
gent, temperate, not following the
Lord because of any gain to them
selves.
What is their reward? In this
life they are entrusted with more
work for their Master (Matt. 24:47).
The reward for Christian work well
done is more work. So if you are
lazy, don’t begin. But if the fires of
holy ambition to serve him burn
within your soul, go on, and he
will lead you further on until at last
in the world to come you will have
the all-sufficient reward of his “Well
done, good and faithful servant.”
Brave Men
All brave men love; for he only is
brave who has affections to fight for,
whether in the daily battle of life
or in physical contests. —Hawthorne.
Truth in Little Things
I have seldom known any one who
deserted truth in trifles, that could
be trusted in matters of importance.
—Paley.
Pinnacle of Knowledge
The end of all learning is to know
God, and out of that knowledge to
love and imitate him.—Milton.
Acts of Charity
One act of charity will teach us
more of the love of God than a thou
sand sermons.
A Mental Inventory—
a. Wishes Are but Wasted Thoughts
Unless We Work to Attain Fruition
IT is well in these early weeks of
A the New Year for us to take a
sort of mental inventory of our
selves, and see if we are foster
ing any of the good things which
we openly spoke of, or silently
wished would materialize during
1937. Have these things already
gone into the dump heap of futili
ty? Have they been scrapped be
cause of no effort on our part to
further their becoming realities?
Are we aware of this scrapping?
Or do we still vaguely suspect
they will materialize or be fulfilled
just becuse we think of them with
desire?
Action Essential.
Most of us remember the Ma
cawberism “Name a wish and
gratify it.’ There have to be things
set in motion before a wish can
come to fruition. Unless we actu
ally want a thing enough to try to
get it, we cannot want it very
much. Our New Year wishes if
they are to be fulfilled should be
more than thought-seeds by now.
They should have been planted
and tended and perhaps have be
gun to show tiny sprouts.
Diversity.
As wishes vary according to de
sires of individuals and avenues
of opportunity for them to materi-

Making Wishes Come True.
Not every fervid wish can be
literally acted upon. But even if
not, it can be nurtured. Perhaps
in the quiet of one’s own room,
one can prepare oneself for calm

Continental United States
The term “continental United
States” is somewhat ambiguous.
Strictly speaking, “continental”
pertains to a continent, and “con
tinental United States” should in
clude all of the United States on
the continent of North America,
but as more commonly used the
term is synonymous with “United
States proper,” and excludes
Alaska as well as the other non
contiguous territories, dependen
cies and possessions.
