■We*' v w POTOMACHIVERI n HlSKM 4 ^ J t --*{ & ^ - j * - * ' 2 * .> - * - jpw **#'**3* $* (Prepared by National Geographic Society. Washington, D. CO—WNU Service. W HILE Washington baa been host to many thousands of visitors during tUg celebra­ tion of the George Washing-, ton bicentennial, the historic Poto­ mac river, gateway to the National Capital from the sea, also has en­ joyed the spotlight Interest In the Potomac Is on the march instantly quo realizes that It Is the river of Washington; of Wash­ ington the man, the greatest figure of our national history, and of 'Wash­ ington the city, the capital of the na-- tion, the focus of our national admin* istratlon, and the city of our history in the making. * . And our interest Is accelerated ns we realize that the old river presents other great names of celebrities who lived on the plantations along Its shores: the Lords Baltimore,- who planted the first settlement of Mary­ land, near the river’s mouth; the Cal­ verts, the Lees, the Carters, the Han­ sons, the Stones, the FltzlrugUs, the Masons, the Mercers and the Fair­ faxes. " . There seem to be several Poto- macs. There is fresh-water and there Is tidewater Potomac. The former is all that water coming down from the mountains and over the falls above Washington city. That river is soon lost In the brine of tidewater Poto­ mac, which extends from the point of mingling to the month of t h ; river, at Chesapeake bay. Here, strong tides rise and fall, sometimes three feet above the wharves of Washington. Here, too, the water is briny. It id so Impregnated with the salt, of the sea that, even at the bead of tidewater, .steamer captains dare not Introduce It Into the boilers of thelr ships. This briny reach Is really n o t'a river; It is an arm of the Chesapeake. Then there Is the surface Potomac a n il. a secret river hidden' in Its depths. The surface waters express themselves In broad reaches between banks of engaging loveliness. They vary In width from ope ■ t o ' seven miles. . The hidden river Is often only a few hundred feet wide, and unseen It serpentines Its way back and forth from one shore to the other In n way that teases and often wrecks the In­ experienced mariner. It IS called’ "the channel;" Up it ocean-going ves­ sels of considerable size come to^the docks of Washington city. “ ’ How to See the River. It is in Tidewater Potomac that one finds the' river of the greater in­ terest, the Potomac of history, of. the' landings, of the old plantations, of ,the celebrities who have made it one of the most distinguished rivers In America., Curiously, the better way to see this river Is not to start where It appears to begin, and so float down on’lts currents to where it ends in merging with the bay; but rather . to start where It ends and be carried up by Its tides and by that Interest­ ing tide of its history which entered here, at its mouth, three hundred years ago. The story of this trip up the broad reaches of Tidewater Potomac Is ac­ tually a composite of many trips, by many kinds of land and water craft, but here, for brevity’s sake, reduced to Its simplest terms without the in­ convenience of delays, whether of boat schedules or motor trails, with­ out the disappointments of weather or of the many futile side trips which anyone must make in order to find out where are the points of genuine Interest and how to reach them. Approaching the mouth of the river, one speculates on such questions as, who was the first white man who ever came into it, where did the river get Its name, and where in It is the di­ viding lino between Maryland and Vir­ ginia? The last question troubled, the dwellers on both shores for more than 250 years. Then, in 1877, a commis­ sion of arbitration finally placed the waters of the river wholly within the boundary of Maryland, The’ name Potomac is Indian. The first explorers found a tribe of that name living pn the river’s shores; but one Cannot be quite sure whether the tribe took its name from the rlfer or the river took Its name from the tribe. It is now generally ac­ cepted that Potomac Is the Indian word for Traders; hence the Potomac river means the lUver of the Traders, Who First Cntsrsd It? Who was the first white man to en­ te r the river is a question less easily anfwfred. At one time a claim was net up, based on "a runic Inscription" said to have been found below the fisBa, for "ah Icelandic widow burled hare In 1001." Rather mot* credence Canoeing on the Potomac River, bus been given to the claim that Span­ ish explorers, known to have come into the Chesapeake between 1505 and 1570, sailed up the Potomac as far as Occoquan. The contention It based largely on the appearance of the place named Axacan In the Spanish chroni­ cles and Its assumed identity with Qc- coquan. There Is better evidence that an English explorer may have been In the river before 1585, for Its ,exist­ ence a t least was known a t that date, as revealed by a map published in London in that year, on which Tide­ water Potomac,, though unnamed, was sketched lnwlth recognizablelines. But how did the map-maker get his sketch, —at first hand, on a visit to the river; or at secohd , hand, from de­ scription from the Indians? Sailing Into the mouth of the river, one is reminded of the first white man definitely known to 1 mve *1 sailed Into these waters. On the left, the south lip of the mouth of the Potomac, Is Smiths Point, named for the original authenticated white pioneer here, the' gallant explorer, Capt. John Smith. Founding of Maryland. A few years after Smith, in 1684, there came into the river two other ships, the Ark and the Dove, with Lord Baltimore’s colonists to found Maryland, on the north side of the Potomac, Even now one can feel these pioneers’ cautious apprehension in an unknown wilderness inhabited by savages. They did not at first trust themselves to the mainland; they nailed up the river for 31- miles, until they came to a small island, now called Blackistone island, where an at­ tacking enemy might nt least be seen. Here Lord Baltimore's brother, Leonard Calvert, left the Ark, and in the Dove and another boat, procured in Virginia, sailed up into the narrow­ er reaches, where, a t Plscatnway, just opposite the hilly banks where later rose Mount Vernon, Ife foMnd the In­ dian emperor,w ith .whom he wished to discuss.a,site'for his colony’s cap­ ital, Calvert found pnly Indians oij th* river. Theiroccasional:i;^pwnb;'wetb indicated by the clearing# in the for­ ests, where they raised their corn and tobacco. In one such town dwelt those Potomac Indians who gave their name to the river or perhaps took it from the river. Jt is not known precisely wbat that Imperial party said to Calvert,* but obviously it was something so poison­ ous that the newcomer couldn’t settle far, enough from that Indian. He re. turned to his ships and sailed them Into the last Inlet on the northern side of the river, Just ten miles above its mouth. . • ... « ' This beautiful body of water he called SL Marys Itlver, and there he began to build his capital, which he called St, filnrys City. Within 35 years St, Marys City was laid out with streets and a square, and in ad-, ditlon to Its frame and log structures, it hail more than 00 .brick buildings, which included the stutehotiBe, the governor’s mansion, churches, public offices, private dwellings, and com­ mercial buildings. S t, Marys H a t Disappeared. ;T Today not one of the buildings of old S t MaryS survives. The visitor finds' grain and tobacco fields, a few green pastures, nnd a graveyard where the first Maryland- lawmakers sat In the midst of the sprightly colo­ nial life of their capita) city. - Where the plow has turned over the sol), or where a well or cellar has been dug, a few bricks have come to the surface, the only physical vestige of the brick capital of 800 years ago. Those from Maryland’s first state- house have been used In building lit­ tle Trinity church on a part of the site of the vanished city. Westmoreland county, Virginia, on the Potomac, has the distinction un­ rivaled by any other In America, for It was the birthplace of three Prest dents of the Unifed States—-the first, the fourth and the fifth—-George Washington, James Madison,- and JnwCs Monroe, Here, In their many ramifications and over a period of more than 250 years, lived the great Carter, t,ee and Washington families. Here, though few survive, were some of the finest mansions of colonial America. The distinction of social and intellectual life In Westmoreland before the Revo­ lution earned it the title of Athena of Virginia. * • Every ship tubs Us hell as It passes the Mount Vernon mansion with the eight slender columns, sur­ rounded by its village of minor do­ mestic buildings, high on the Virginia bank, for'It It the home and last rest­ ing place of Georgs Washington, his and ohr Mount Vernon. y m m m m IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson tf.MHMNMft* l SCHOOLNEWS 1 {By fiSV, P.

I. Four Fishermen Called ardship (Mark 1:18-20). 1. Who they were (w. 16, mon and Andrew, John and James; two pairs of brothers. It Is usually wise to engage In the Lord’s service in groups. This is not only desirable Tor effective testimony, but for needed feUowshlp on the part of the workers, and protection of the witnesses 2. From what they were called (vv. 16, 20). These men were fishermen. 3. To what they were called (v. 17). They were to become fishers of men. The qualities which made them good fishermen were patience, courage to face the storm at night, and persever­ ance which led them ta toll all night though no fish were caught These qualities would ma.ke them good fish­ ers of men. 4. The cost of obedienceJ o Christ’s call (vv. 18, 20). Obedlence to Christ’s call meant sacrifice and painful sep­ aration. It was to give up all bunfe ness interest and leave their father. 5. Their reward (v. 17). Their names have become immortalized. Christ promised one hundred fold In 1 his life and eternal life In the world to come. II. Paul’s Call to Stewardship (Acts 20 : 12 - 10 ) . 1. His manner of life (vv. 1-12). In liis defense before Agrlppa he showed Hint he had been in the strictest ac­ cord with the most rigid sect of the Jews. He possessed the same hope of a coming Deliverer and reminded them of the fact that formerly he was most bitterly opposed to Christ.. 2. His supernatural conversion (w, 18-15). He declared that Christ had appeared hnd revealed himself to him on the^way to Damascus. .. a Commissioned by Christ (w, J 6 - 18). He was sent to the Gentiles. a. To open their eyes, which bad been so awfully blinded. . b. To turn them from darkness to light. - , c. To turn them from the power of Satan unto 'God. - d. ThatJhey might receive forgive­ ness of sins. e. That they might obtain an inheri­ tance among the saints. 4. His consecration (vv. 19-23). As soon as he received blB commission, he rendered Instant obedience. III. Paul Impressing Stewardship Upon the Corinthians (I Cor. 9:16-27). ’I he Corinthians were an Intemperate and dissolute people. The i urest and most effective way to combat vice is to Inculcate virtue. 1. Paul’s own life and example (vv. ID-23). Though free from Ml meh he mnde himself servant unto alL He most rigorously limited himself In or­ der to gain others for Christ 2, The Isthmian Games ,(vv. 24-27), I’aul uses these popular games “to Il­ lustrate the need of self-control. He showed that man was redeemed tor a purpose. Those who would apprehend that purpose must possess a definite motive. He shows: a. Life is a race (vv. 24-25).

NO HUNTING NOTICE der to win a prize there must be self- denial, find definite self-exertion. The Christian obtains life by contact with Jesus Christ through faith (John 3:16; John 3 :35; John 5 :24). This life must be possessed before he can, begin the race. While he gets salvation, (life) at the beginning, God places before him definite rewards as incentives for exertion. The Christian believes for salvation but works for rewards.- As the racer in these games abstains from everything that might hinder him, so the Christian will make any sacrifice in order to win. If the heathen would practice such self-denial for a garland of laurel, certainly the Christian should turn from all bodily indulgences to obtain the crown of righteousness which fadeth not away. b. The Christian’s life Is a fight (vv. 26-27). His efforts are not merely beatings of the-air. He has a real antagonist. In order to win success, his body must be kept in subjection. Tlie believer has n severe struggle with his carnal nature. The Natural Thing We should seek to make our lives straight, and true, and healthful, and beautiful, because that Is what they were meant to be; just as a tree growB upright, nnd broad, and leafy, because It Is the natural thing for It i to do.
