whose condition was similar to her

BPORTUNITY still beckons
the nmliitlous American
youth.
True, farm boys don’t
become bank presidents
with the same frequency
nowadays as when Hora-
tio Alger’s llcllonal char-
acters typified the struggling Ameri-
can youth. Yet the coiue-on hand of
the lady known ns Luck but whose
real name Is pluck still gestures for
all who are alert to see.
Four years ago, seven clear-eyed,
upstanding, straight-thinking young
Americans caught her gesture.
Result: today the seven are era
barked on the honorable career of
nrmy officers, duly commissioned by
the President of the United States,
after a four-year stretch of mental and
moral upbuild designed to turn them
out equipped to occupy, with credit,
any position In life to which they may
aspire.
Your Uncle Sam was the godfather.
It was the beloved gentlemnn with
the plug hat, the striped trousers, nnd
the starry vest, not Dume Fortune,
who sponsored the ambitious seven.
All of which means Just this—that
the seven formed this year's contin-
gent of former buck privates among
the graduating class at West Point
recently. Coming up from the ranks
of the regular army, they qualified
for admission to the mllitury academy
through nmiunl examinations which
are now open to all enlisted men of
Uncle flam's forces.
Real Democracy
Once u year the historic nnd un-
excelled Institution on the Hudson
throws wide Its doors and from out of
the rank nnd file of soldiers enter
such as have demonstrated their right
to wear on their shoulders the Insignia
of leadership.
The son from the lean farm In Iowa
and Hie pampered pride of the richest
hanker In Wall street are “buddies"
under the skin. Sueh, at least, Is the
principle and practice ut West Point.
Democrae.v—not “Who are you?” but
“What can you do?"
The list of young men who by rea-
son ot_their perseverance and their
determination to achieve now wear
the Sam Browne belt and shining
shoulder bnra of an officer show that
the ambition of Young America Is as
brood as her boundaries. Observe thnt
none of them are former service men
nor had they distinguished themselves
In purely military events. All are men
of a year’s service or more who ap-
parently enlisted In the army with the
Idea of competing for a West Point
scholarship.
Cadet Lieut. Hans W. llolnier,
twenty-six, of Medford, Ore., one of
the seven, upset West Point tradition
when he won the much-prized title
of "Honor Man," making n totul of
2,757.05 points out of a possible 2,075.
The first regular nrmy appointee ever
to gain such distinction, he stood No. 1
In the class of 1027, consisting of 20.1
endets. Cade! Harold A. Kurstedt of
Weehnwkon. N. J., another of the
seven, took second highest honors with
total of 2,744.00.
The remaining five ex soldiers grad-
unted nlso In relatively high positions
They were: Cadet John T. Holst of
New Haven, Conn.; Cadet Cyril E.
Cadets of the class of 1927, United
States Military academy, who were
appointed to the academy from the
regular army: (Left to right):
John R. Lovell, Ottumwa, Iowa;
John A. Schwab, New Yortf city;
Cyril E. Williams, Ontario, Canada;
Harold A. Kurstedt, Weehawken, N.
J., formerly of Mt. Vernon, N. Y.; ,
Hane W. Holmer, Medford, Ore.;
Charlie Weener, Green Lake, Wis.*
John T. Holst, New Haven, Conn.
Williams of St. Catherines, Ontario;
Cadet Joliu R. Lovell of Ottumwa.
Iowa ; Cadet John A. Schwab of Now
York City, and Cadet Charlie Wesner
of Green Lake, WIs.
In the rigorous training courses
which give West Point runk with the
finest military academies In the world,
all seven of the regular army ap-
pointees acquitted themselves above
average. Cadets Kurstedt and Schwab
were cadet cnptalns and Cadet Holmer
a cadet llcutennnt. Cadet Schwab
was one of the best polo players In
the Point.
An All ’Round Man
Cadet Holmer was rated as expert
with both the automatic pistol and
service rifio. As a member of the
cadet wrestling team Cadet Kurstedt
won his “A,” while Cadet Lovell es-
tablished an enviable record In ath-
letics, playing on the football eleven
for three seasons and on the boxing
team four. Last ycqr lie was captuln
of the boxing team.
Besides these seven graduates there
nre 114 other endets now nt the acad-
emy who were appointed from the
ranks of either the regular army or
National Guard.
This high percentage of the member-
ship of the corps of cadets has been
attained by the regular army largely
through the training extended to aspi-
rants nt West Point preparatory
schools conducted throughout all de-
partments of the ermy. By their aid
this year, 95 soldiers wore coached
to take the final examinations for en-
trance to West Point this summer.
The men were entered In the pre-
paratory schools after having sntlsfled
certain elementary requirements at
the camps and stntlons they were serv-
ing In. To attend youths must be be-
tween the ages of nineteen nnd twen-
ty-two, have at least one year's service
In the nrmy, and possess the equiva-
lent of n high school education.
Get Another Chance
To fall to qunlify for the prepara-
tory school nt first need not mean the
bursting of the young soldier’s bubble
of hope. On the contrary, failure has
seemed merely tJ spur muny of them
on to further study nnd grenter deter-
mination to mnke good. These men
who rise from the ranks nre moved by
determination, pgffclstency and Intelli-
gence. OfttJmes the clnsses at the
various West Point preparatory schools
Include men who have failed a second
time before flnnlly winning admission.
The soldier-students are qunrtercd
In regulation army barracks when at-
tending preparatory school and under
the usual soldier discipline with the
exception that lights are allowed to
bum as long na there Is home work to
be done. The cnrrlenlnm Includes nil
the necissnry academic subjects nnd
cxnzrsiAMXrDAKunsixer
j.ea zc&jigixFj/rsfzr
Is drawn up for the sole purpose of
preparing the students to meet the
fairly rigid West Point entrance tests.
The preparatory schools run from the
fall months, throughout the winter, to
April, when the final examinations are
held.
But It Is one thing to gain entrance
to the United States military academy
—and another to graduate. Some of
the most promising youths from fine
homes nre “found,” although carefully
prepared prior to entering the acade-
my at the lending educational Institu-
tions. Pnrtl.v because of the hlgh-
notch of physical perfection nnd pnrt-
ly because of the strict drill nnd dis-
cipline, those without previous mili-
tary training experience difficulty In
keeping up with their classes. The
ex-ranker, however, has In the few
short years since Ills entrance to the
academy was authorized by congress
shown a distinct ability to exceltip
cadet netlvltles.

I. David Desires to Build a House
for God (vv. 1. 2).
Having subdued all Ills enemies,
David sat down In his new and beau-
tiful house to meditute. While thua
musing, he Is led to see the incon-
gruity of dwelling In a house of cedar
while the Lord's place wus so common.
A truly devout soul cannot he con-
tent to dwell In personul ease and lux-
ury while the Lord's work Is neglect-
ed. David's proposition met with
Nathan's approval, hut the next day
he cume with definite Instructions
from the Lord regarding 1L
II. David’s Desire Denied (v> 3-8).
While fully appreciating David’s mo-
tive, the Lord disapproved his plan.
The rejection of his plan was not be-
cause of his nonappreclutlon of David,
for lie had taken him from the lowest
walks of life and elevated him to the
highest place among men. tie assured
him also that the cause would not suf-
fer beenuse of this change of plnn.
Two reusons may be asslgued for
God's prohibition of David’s plan.
1. David was a man of wur (1 Chron.
22:8; 28:3).
Since the kingdom of God Is to b«
a peaceful kingdom. It was not fit-
ting that a man of war should build
tile capital city. This was not a re-
proach of David for being a man of
war. The enemies of the Lord must
of necessity be put down. No peace
or rest could be to God's people till
the enemies were subdued. It showed,
rather, that David had done his work
and thnt the time had now come for
another to take It up.
2. The time and circumstances were
not fully ripe.
God's house should be a great house,
therefore It would require a man’s best
energies to build IL The nation's
treasury was no doubt much depleted
by the wars. Since much money
would he required, ample time was
necessary to enable the people to ac-
cumulate funds.
III. The Lord Pledged Himself to
Do More Than David Proposed (vt.
9-15).
1. David was to have a great name
(v. 8).
David's name has gone down In his-
tory as one of the great men of th*
eurth. It was a long way from herd-
ing his father’s sheep to the throne
of this great nation.
2. Israel to be established In a cen-
tral place (v. 9).
The nation wus not again to b«
moved awny, nor to be wasted by the
children of wickedness.
3. ne was to enjoy God's continued
favor and help (v. 10).
All his enemies were to be subdued.
4. Perpetuation of the kingdom la
David’s line (vv. 11-14).
(1) “Build thee a house."
This means a granting unto him of
a posterity, a family line. David pro-
posed to build a temple us n place 1*
which to worship God. God purposed
to establish the kingdom In David's
line. This was to be perpetuated la
David's seed after him.
(2) “Establish his throne" (v. 12).
This means the placing of him In a
position of royal uuthorlty.
(3) The kingdom was to he per-
petual (vv. 13, 14).
lie was to be settled In his kingdom
forever. Disobedience to God would
he visited with chastisement (II Bam.
7:15), but the covenants were not to
be abrogated. Chastisement has fol-
lowed, but David’s seed Is destined to
occupy the throne (Luke 1:31-33 • Acts
15:14-17).
IV. David’s Worship (vv. 18-27).
In his actual worship, note:
1. His humility (vv. 10-18).
Those who really worship God ap-
proach Him with great humility.
2. His praise (vv. 19, 20).
Out of a heart of gratitude b*
praised God for Ills faithfulness and
grace.
3. His gratitude (vv. 21, 22).
He had an appreciation of Ood’a
fidelity and expressed his gratitude t*
Him for IL
4. Ills petition (vv. 23-27).
All praise und expressions of grati-
tude hut lend up to tho offering of
definite petitions to God.
Peace of the Heart
Thou art the true peace of the
nearti Thou urt Its only rest; out of
Thee all things are full of trouble nad
unrest. In this peace that Is In Thee,
the one chlefest eternal good, I will
!ay down and sleep.—Tliomaa a
