    Wilson Ideals
to Bear Fruit,
Says Eulorizer
J c
becds Planted by His Mighty
Hand ^ ill Blossom in Fair
er World. Declares Judge
Woodrough.
'Many men say that he failed,"
said Federal Judge J. W, Woodrough,
in his eulogy of former President
Wilson at tlie memorial services at
the auditorium yesterday. "But lii»
influence will be felt and is felt in
the world today.
"It Is but little more than 12 years
since I was drawn into association
with the then comparatively small
group of nien and women who had
rend the speeches and writings of
Woodrow Wilson and had considered
his career as governor of New Jer
sey and .were becoming obsessed with
the idea that he was the best fitted
man to serve our country as its pres
ident, and so, 1 was brought in per
sonal contact with him. Naturally
there stands out vividly in ny mem
ory those peaceful, serene, and quiet
occasions when he discussed his ideas
and his purposes with us.
“Peaceful occasions that wore en
livened with the wit and humor that
were so much a part of Woodrow
Wilson, and so we were drawn to the
man in friendliness and affection
quiet apart front admiration. Those
peaceful occasions came befpre great
ness had claimed him for her own,
and had drawn him to her fearful
breast. There were very few. if any,
that hated Woodrow Wilson then and
there were fewer still who very great
ly feared him.
Frailness Urines Doubts.
“We had a thought about him
then, we Nebraskans, that I shall
speak of. We had grown up here
where the foremost figure in our po-1
litlcal sphere was a man of magnifi
cent physical proportions, and we
had in our mind's eye the great torso
of our Mr. Bryan, whoso strong and
beautiful voice so 'many times has
carried from this platform beyond
the farthest reaches of this auditor
ium and wasi distinctly heard across
that paving on beyond. And I confess
to you that our Virginia professor,
with his eye glasses and his slender
frame, looked to us a frail figure.
Would that thing happen which has
happened to lesser men, appearing
on the same platform before an au
dience with that great orator, would
he appear dwarfed or belittled?
“But the destiny of Woodrow Wil
son swept him out of ranks of those
beside him, and ahead and beyond
all those who stood before him, and
carried him forward the foremost man
of his generation, aye, and the fore
most man of many generations.
“In those early discourses before
his greatness came upon him, there
ran through his talk and thought like
a thread the theme that he expressed
—'the right is more precious than
peace.’ Which is one of the rules
that Puritans have ever laid down
that makes life harder to lead, even
for a private man who would live
humbly, and when his natural powers
are augmented and multiplied by the
| o-,\ors of public office, it is a doc
trine that makes Inevitable for such
a rt-rmy course as Woodrow Wil
son followed.
Pillar of Light.
"From the hour that power came
to him until it was taken from' him,
until this hour that has come to us
today, that slender frame and slight
figure, that great intellect and lion
heart was in distress and heat ot
combat and punishment, the bitterest
conflict of so-called pence and the
terrible shocks of bloody and horrible
war. And in every fight In was a
pilliir of light in tha darkest places,'
radiating hope when it had departed
from all others.
"Before our wav he had fought a
hundred battle* in the halls of con
gress and before the people. He had
added branches and arms and new
functions to our government. In his
administration our constitution was
changed. New laws, new functions
and new constitutional provisions.
And in every contest he made riew
enemies and received more scars. Me
set himself against strong and able
men, and firmly settled fixed opin
ion and interests that were in
trenched in time. lie sought re
sponsibility and took it upon his
shoulders, grpat responsibilities—
constantly increasing responsibilities
—until that dread hour came when
lie appeared before congress and
called Lhis great and peaceful nation
Into war: called for the draft law and
cried for force, unstinted force, and
bloody conflict.
"O, how far away are those peace
ful talks and quiet conversations with
his friends! The jesting and the
laughter! Our slender, frail professor
dearly loved iris limerick, Ills anecdote
and the light-veined jest.
tarried Self llravely.
“He carried himself very bravely in
the war and Its ending marked hut
the beginning of what we all know
was tho greatest struggle of hls life.
The uneual struggle to bring about a
lasting peace throughout the world
and to put an end to war forever.
“Many men say that he failed.
Many men say that he whs wrong.
Many say'that his Ideas and hls pur
poses. and the things that he stood
for were wrong—that they were un
wise—that they were harmful and
uurtful to the people of hls own time
and for the future—that he was mis

at.ldlng hatreds and revengeful

"It Is very Idle In this hour to dis

iliat this world throughout the lenglli
and breadth of It, whatever tongues

Wilson, yet we are well assured that
all things work together for good to
them that love Thee.

Christ and in the spacious fields of
eternity.
Memory An Inspiration.
"May the memory of his living and
sacrificial service inspire every citi

secrate to us his ideals for world
peace and through it hasten the time
when war shall be tio more. Send
Thy Holy Spirit into the hearts and

to inscrutable providence and only in
the fullness of time will it be an
swered. My voice today and the voice
of any man that speaks is like a
whisper in the mighty whirlwind, lie
lived in faith. I also can only speak
the words of my faith, and so speak

been planted by that mighty hand
will grow and blossom upon a better
and a fairer world. They will strike
root in the hearts and consiiotises
of millions of inen and women, who
will bring to fair fruition the great
seer's dream of a world where war
shall be no more."

stately religious services m Bethle

of the text of the service, which was

and Rev. Sylvester Beach, Princeton,
N. J., the two Presbyterian ministers

at Princeton,
Funeral march (organ, “Chopin’’).
The bishop:
I am the resurrection and the life,
salth the Lord: He thnt belleveth in
me, though lie were dead, yet shall
live: And whosoever liveth and be
lieveth in me, shall never die. (St.
John xl 25. 26.)
I know that my Redeemer liveth
and that He shall stand at the latter
day upon the earth; and though af
ter my skin worms destroy this body,
yet in my flesh shall I see God:
Whom I shall see for myself and my
eyes shall behold, and not another.
(Job xix 25, 26, 27.)
We brought nothing into this
world and it Is certain we can carry
nothing out. The Lord gave and the
Lord hath taken away; blessed bo
the name of the Lord. (I Tim vll 7,
Job I. 21.)
This was followed by a selection
from the Thirty-ninth Psalm.
The lesson (Cor. xv 20) follows:
Now Is Christ risen from the dead,
and become the first fruits of them
that slept. For since by man came
death, by man came also the resur
rection of the dead. For as in Adam
all die. even so in Christ shall all be
made alive. But every man is his
own order:
Christ tlie first fruits: Afterward
they that are Christ's at his coming.
Then cometh the end. when he shall
have delivered up the kingdom to
Cod. even the father: when he shall
have put down all rule and all au
thority and power. For he must reign
till lie hath put all enemies under
his feel.
The last enemy that shall he de
stroyed is death. For He hath put
all things under his feet. But when
He salth all things are put under
Him, It Is manifest that He Is except
cd. which ilid He put all things un
der him.
And when all things shall he sub
dued unto Him then shall the son also
himself he subject unto Ilim that
put all things under Him. that God
may he all In all.
Else what shall they do which are
laptlzed for the dead? And why
stand we (n Jeopardy every hour? T
protest by your rejoicing which I
have In Christ Jesus our Lord. I die
daily. If after the manner of men I
have fought with beasts at Ephesus,
"hat advantageth it me. if the dead
rise not?
Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow
we die. Be not deceived; evil com
munications corrupt good manners.
Awake to righteousness and sin
not: for some have not the knowledge

THE MOTHER’S. PROBLEM -
Wise mothers know that daily
outdoor exercise in childhood lays
the foundation for strong bodies in
later life.
Daily means Winter as well as
Summer.
But with outdoor exposure some
colds are bound to come.
And we know now that colds are
not just “simple” colds.
They must not be neglected. Much
of the catarrh, deafness and ill health
of adults is now laid by physicians
to the neglected colds of childhood.
On the other hand, constant inter
nal dosing must not be thought of.
This is the mother’s problem these
cold Winter days.
Little Stomachs Rebel
Against Dosing
Anxious mothers ere too
apt to dose their children
continually.
Often this upsets the deli
cate little stomach. An
upset stomach means a
poor appetite. So the child
doesn’t eat enoughto keep
up its strength.
This in turn lowers the
bodily resistance, thus
inviting fresh colds and
other diseases.
Externally applied,
Vicks can be used ss
freely and as often ai desited.
even on the youngest child.
The problem solved-Vicks
VapoRub—the external, vaporiz
ing treatment—has solved this prob
lem for literally millions of mothers.
They let the kiddies romp out
doors but at the first sign of "sniffles”
they apply Vicks over the throat and
chest at night.
It is externally applied and so can
be used frequently without upsetting
the digestion.
The ingredients, released by the body
hear, arc inhaled with imH breath, stimu
lating the air passages to throw off the
cold germs. At the same time, Vicks
increases the circulation of the blood
throughout the chest region, thus helping
to prevent any congestion developing.
This use of Vicks will prevent many
colds and save much precious strength
and vitality.
OVER 92 million jtrs oi
Vicks hive been used
in the put five yeirs.

H.ut some men will say. how are the
road raised up? And with what body
do they come. Thou fool, that which
thou sawest not that body that shall
bo, but bare grain. It may chance of
wheat, or of some other grain; but
God giveth it a body as it hath passed
him. und to every seed his own body.
All flesh Is not the same flesh; but
there Is one kind of flesh of men,
another flesh of beasts, another of
fishes and another of birds.
There also are celestial bodies, and
bodies terrestlal; but the glory of the
celestial Is one, and the glory of ter
testlal is another. There is one glory
of the sun and another glory of the
moon, and another glory of the stars;
for one star differeth from another
star In glory.
So also is tlie resurrection of the
dead. It is sown In corruption; it is
raised in incorruption; it is sown in
dishonor; it is raised in glory; it is
sown in weakness, it is raised in
power; it lg sown a natural body; it
Is raised a spiritual body. There is
a natural body, and there is a
spiritual body.
« And so it is written, the first man
Adam was made a living soul; the last
Adam was made a quickening spirit.
How he it that thou was not first
which is spiritual, but that which is
natural; and afterward that which is
spiritual.
The first man ib of the earth,
earthy: the second tnan Is the Lord
from Heaven. As is the earthy, such
are they also that are earthy; and
as Is the heavenly, such are tliey also
that are heavenly.
And as we have borne the Image
of the earthy, we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly. Now this I
say. brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the Kingdom of God;
neither doth corruption inherit incor
ruption.
