Again the world has beer devastated this time not by flood but by war loss of life rightful; loss of property incredible; one naton spared the providence of God to rebuild the ruined woi Id the time come for America to do that for which God Almighty has spared us: and many Americans Congress and out of it dealing with great world responsibilities, not r.nder solemn sense of privilege and of duty, but In such a way as to suggest that they are not drunk they are crazy. -Arthur J. own, D.

One real pain can spoil a day; just as one small disorder in a watch puts it out of commission. A speck of dust at the proper place or lack of a drop of oil makes the whole mechanism halt. Pain is like that: it stops the machinery; throws it out of synchronism with the sun.

Men's chastened hearts were mounting up and fed On radiant hope, which shot its rays afar. Dreamed reason reigned at last, that at her bar In chains, with hate.

Intrigue, blood-lust, stood dread, While rose In splendor Christ's propitious star. The lethargy of soul that poisoned peace I Had fled In haste before war's scourging rod, "Romance and chivalry had won release, And walked In daily dusty ways abroad. For men had clutched in fear, on war's surcease, The joy of living recklessly for God. But still there lumbers 'round the ghastly glare That lit up hell's high carnival on earth. And mn dare speak again in wanton mirth Of war let loose on land and sea and air.

Mad must they be who do not grasp that where War's cubs athirst for blood next come to hlrth. Torn into shreds must be all human i- worth. And hope clean swailowed up by blank (despair.

The Rev.

T. Rhondda Williams. As our lives grow more and more industrialized, linked up with the factory system and machine production the tendency will be to turn our public schools into training shops for manual, technical and machine-workers, on the plea that such training "fits for life" and "leads straight to a job." Valuable and necessary as this type of instruction may be, we would be very foolish if we let it usurp the whole or even the major part of the schoolhouse. Boston Globe. Prayer, then, I say, is first and chiefly the establishment of communion with God.

Praying is the clearing of the Blocked roads which are crowded with ail sorts of worldly hindrances. It is the preparing of the way of the Lord. 'When I turn to the Lord in prayer I open the doors and windows of my soul toward the heavenlies, and I open them for the reception of any gifts of grace which God's holy love may wish me to receive).
