To Abolish Fast Day .

The Pine Tree State has come in fol
much criticism from outside newspapers
for the continued observance of Fast Day.
Now there is treason to the ancient Gus
tom right in the State. At recent meet
ing of the Central Maine Theological Cir
Gle, au association of Baptist ministers,
held in Waterville, the following resolu-
ton was adopted "Resolved, That the
Central Maine Theological Circle ex-
presses its judgment that an annual Fast
Day appointed by the governor of the
State has no warrant in the Scriptures
and has proven inexpedient as an aid to
vital piety, and ought therefore to be dis
continued. The clergymen have started

"COme Unto Me-"

Oft when the tide of life runs low,
And brain and soul are sick with doubt,
And life seems full of grief and woe,
And hooking devils jeer and fiout,
l turn unto my Lord in prayer,
[ know His strength than mine is best,
And 10. sweet voice thrills the air
Come unto Me, ye weary laden,
And L will give you rest
Sometimes the night is very dark,
The way is rough and wounds my feet,
And life lies stretched out wan and stark
The winds blow fierce and falls the sleet,
l fear, and fearing, fain would fall
Beneath the shadows dire distress,
But that hear my Savior cali
Come unto Me, We weary laden,
And l will give you rest"
And often when the waters roll
And surge and foam around me here,
And threaten to engulf my soul,
Roaring and rolling swift and near,
My strongest efforts seem in vain.
How can L scape so hard oppressed?
And then | hear that voice again
"Come unto Me, ye weary laden,
And | will give you rest
Some days my burden bears me down,
l can not see the far off skies.
The grim, gray cross obscures the crown,
And in my heart hope faints and dies,
But leaps to life when, sweet and low,
With love and mercy, full expressed
These words across the silence GO
Come unto Me, ye weary laden,
And | will give you rest"
Yea, Lord, 1 come to thee in all
The evils that at1lct my day,
And at thy feet repentant fall
For doubts that daunt and fears that SHAY,
Give unto me, o give me more,
The strength to bear, the longing best,
Extend Thy shield my face before,
For | indeed am weary laden,
And come to thee for rest,
Hamilton Jay.

"And so it goes. All sleeplessly toss till
dawning light
Reminds me that another fruitless day be-
gins It's flight.
For everybody says, 'Of course, the taxes

How fair the name, how sweet the flower
That bloomed within that April shower,
More sweetness to our hearth ne'er came
Than in that fond and happy name.
The dew that fell upon that morn
Produced rose without a thorn.
And by thy presence We still retain
Love for the pure and fair of name.

Come first the sunshine, then the shower;

We wish for thee-sunshine again.

To so great an extent have the Jap
anese adopted European methods and
models that an enterprising Buddhist
has adapted the bicycle to serve the
needs of the praying wheel as used by
the followers of his creed. Instead of
attaching the written prayer to the
customary wheel, which is generally
turned by convenient stream of rum
ming water, the new vogue is to fix the
prayer to the hub of the bicycle wheel,
SO that the faster the rider can pedal
the better he can pray. Although
there appears to be spice of sacrilege
in the practice it is apparently catch-
ing on.
