The pilgrim and stranger who through the day
Holds over the desert his trackless way,
Where the terrible sands no shade have known,
No sound Of life save the camePs moan,
Hears at last, through the mercy of Allah to all,
From his tent-dOOr at evening the BedOuin'S call :
- Whoever thou art 1ohOSe need is great
In the name of God the Compassionate
And HerciJtA One, for thee Irait'
For gifts In his name of food and rest
The tents of Islam Of God are blest
Thou who hast faith In the Christ above,
Shall the Koran teach thee the law Of love?
o Christianl open thy heart and door,
Cry east and west to the wandering poor
g Whoever thou art tChOSe need is great,
In the ndnleoJ Christ. The Compassionate
And Mercittl One for thee trIit'

The senate Committee Hitehed
Counting the Electoral Vote.

The senate branch Of the JOINT committee
on counting the electoral votes had long
session again this morning and afternoon.
All the sessions thus far has been devoted to
the preliminary work of examining and dis
cussing the historical records bearing on the
general subject, and no proposition has yet
been formally presented to the committee by
any of its members. One of them says that
the indications are that no conclusion on any
point can possibly be reached by the senate
branch of the committee for several days at
least. and that matters now before them are
in such an uncertain condition as to preclude
reasonable conjecture as to the result of
their deliberations.
