Win Awards in
Speaking Contests
The Sons of the Revolution in the sute of New York in order to stimu¬ late an interest in and a proper inter¬ pretation of the Revolutionary period have oflered prizes to the high echoo' students of the State in an essay con¬ test. Those competing must be stu¬ dents of American History and be ranked as regular seniors. The sub¬ ject of the contest is "The Attitude of the Earl of Chatham, Edmund Burke and Charles James Fox toward the American Colonies."
The contestants in Freeport High School were Miss Mary Baker, Mis Ruth Brayton, Miss Margperite Glov¬ er, Miss Marian Hague and Miss Hel en Kremelberg. All of the essays that were submitted to Principal Jer- nings show that these students had done much careful and valuable read¬ ing on the subject. The Sons of the •f^volution stipulate that only the two beat essays shall be sent to them. It haa been judged that the two best are the essays of Miss Marian Hague and Miss Helen Kremelberg.

The church hopes to do more than its apportionment this year and we are in it to help all we can. Let every member get the larger vision and do his part Helpful literature telling the story of this drive may be obtained at the church. A beautiful poster gives an outline of the plan which will wind up in victory March 31, 1919.

Rev. J. Sidney Gould, pastor of the Preabyterian Church, cerUmly found a welcome from hia congregation and frienda when he appeared in the pul¬ pit laat Snnday for the first time since laat September.
On the 22nd of that month Mr. Gould had an attack of what the doc¬ tor seemed to think was the result of long continued nervous strain. He did not name it. but prescribed a long rest The congregation gave the pas¬ tor leave of absence aa long as might be required.
Mr. Gould left Freeport on Septem¬ ber 27 and lastVriday was the first time he has been on the streets of our village since.
Apparently the long stay in the South has been beneficial for he preached two sermons on Sunday with olid-time vigor to large congregations that came out to welcome their pas¬ tor home.
In the moming the theme was "Faith's Sustaining Power from the text, "I had fainted unless I had be¬ lieved to see the goodness of God in the land of the living." Emphasis was laid on the fact that faith ex- l)ects some of its fuits in this life and that the result of believing is to sus¬ tain effort, hope and ideals. That God is good and his goodness is the believ- er.s' sure rock of security.
"he choir and organist and solpists had all united to make the service es¬ pecially rich and appropriate to so threat a degree that the pastor public; ly commended them.
And the evening service was equal¬ ly noteworthy. The number gathered to worship was quite as large as in the morning and thc music equally f.-.ie. Thc pastor preached on Roose velt as exemplifying Robust Ameri¬ canism. "We have come," he said, "to be a people who are conscious of our strength, who stand on our two feet without swagger or bombast. We stand to protect the streams of our life from pollution. The roots of our American life reach down into the an¬ cient Anglo-Saxon soil together with the roots of the English. We hold many, in fact, most of our moral and intellectual foundations in common with them. Our ideas of justice, of the value of human life and our prin¬ ciples of democracy are all direct growths from Anglo-Saxon roots. The adventurous pioneer, hard conditioned life incident to subduing a new coun¬ try and organizing it into the mighti¬ est most resourceful nation on earth had resulted in a habit of thought and action that was distinctively Ameri¬ can. This habit and action Theodore Roosevelt incarnated and exemplified more completely than any other American of our day and generation. His usefulness was vastly augmented by the cosmopolitan character he ac¬ quired by his birth and developed by training. He was able largely to be¬ come a national leader by the breadth of his knowledge and sympathies. It is a pity that we must lose him when his experience in technical state¬ craft, his courageous tongue and his shrewd penetrating wisdom would have been of such incalculable value to us.'
Aft»>r each service the members of thfe   congregation   came   forward masse  to  greet  the  pastor  and  wel¬ come him home. Weather Report
