Arbitrcry Government

John Winthrop, of Massachusetts, once said: "Arbitrary Government is where a people have men set over them, without their choice or allowance; who have power to govern them, and judge their causes without a rule. God only hath this prerogative; whose sovereignty is absolute, and whose will is a perfect rule, and reason itself ; so as for man to usurp such authority is tyranny and impiety.,,

O Thou who seest all things below, Grant that Thy servants may go slow, That we may study to comply, With regulations till we die.

Teach us, O Lord, to reverence Committees more than common sense. Impress our minds to make us plan But pass the baby when we can.

And when the tempter seeks to give Us feelings of initiative, Or when alone we go too far, Chastise us with a circular.

Midst war and tumult, fire and storms, We pray Thee strengthen us with forms. Then will Thy servants ever be, A flock of perfect sheep to Thee.

Rupert Hughes on Wqshington

"When the war was over, he was asked to be King, but he did not make false pretences like Julius Caesar or seize the powers as Napoleon did. fnstead of thanking the man who offered him a crown, Washington rebuked him for the worst "insult" he ever had in his life.

"Ffe never punished a rival. He had no rivals, for he did not seek glory or power for himself. When he was made President he accepted unwillingly and tried to retire after his first term. He was persuaded to accept a second. There was another crisis when that ended: but he would not accept a third term under any condition. His Farewell Address is one of the noblest of documents. It is like a letter written by a wise and loving father to his children.

"A lifelong study. of this good and noble gentleman leads me to believe him the greatest and most beneficial human that ever lived. He was truly and beautifully the Father of his Country-of our beloved and eternally grateful countrv."

Advice to Writers

If you would write stories successfully, follow the advice of Alexander Dumas. He said that a book should be like a good dinner, it should have an appetizer first. He meant that the book should furnish the utmost interest to the reader iight from the start, instead of beginning slow and wearying him. Once he has the reader's interest, the writer can do the necessary slowing down. Dumas judged others by himself, looked upon himself as an average reader and. an average human, and figured that what entertained him would entertain othegs, and what bored him, bored others.
