Although the people Of Minnesota
have had several opportunities to
wrestle with the intricacies, or rather
simplicities, of the Australian ballot,
there appears to be many still who
have not mastered this method
of voting. Perhaps. it would
pay the candidates at the next general
election to send a speaker around a
few days before election with charts,
etc, to teach the art OF voting a Kan

The Maine Speaks.

For all the glory of my pride and strength.
For all the fame I've known. the seas I've
sailed,
Only the blaclxened irons shattered length
Bears witness-for the promise that has
failed.
No more for me the thunders Of the fight,
No more for me to feel the great guns rear,
And yet, though shorn of all my hope and
might,
Ny day Of triumph's near. my triumph's
near.
Perforce deserted for little time,
bear the hooking of the foe alone
These braggarts, gloating DER a futile crime,
Who soon must reap the harvest they have
sownl
watch the city's fortresses prepare,
And in their haste see their lurking fear,
For all their boasts there's panic In the air..
My day of triumph's near, my triumphs
near.
The open sea is hidden from my sight,
But yet know the feet Is gathering there,
NV comrades, stripped and eager for the fight,
The great republics sleuthhounds from
their lair,
And when the ships come fighting mp the bay
They'll find me waiting 800 Harki Il

No Substitute.

Nothing can take the place Of the
church and her services. No club or as
ISOLATION for benevolent or social or even
spiritual work can be substitute for
the "household of God" The League
itself must not detract from the interest
in the regular means of grace. If our
young people must choose between the
meetings of the League and the regular
meetings of the church, there can be no
question how the decision should be
made. Sustain the prayer meeting, class
meeting and preaching services. After
this, If others are needed, they may be
supplemented by special services pecul-
iarly helpful to the young.
Don't make the mistake of putting
something else in place of the ordinary
services of the church. If you do, the
result will be disastrous to your per-
sonal piety and the interests of the
church in general.

An Old shipmate's Story OF Acting Rear
Admiral Sampson.
An old navy officer who had been
shipmate of Acting Rear Admiral Samp-
son many years tells this story OF him:
81 have never doubted Simpsons
courage since the first cruise l made
with him. We were wardroom officers
together The first night aboard ship,
when the hour arrived for piping
down and turning in there were several
officers sitting around the wardroom ia
BILE indulging in some innocent merrl-
ment. l was taught to say my prayers
before going to bed at night, but con-
fess lacked the courage to kneel down
in the presence of my shipmates and
nrav. II was warm weather, and our
stateroom doors opened into the ward
room.
"Then it was that Sampson displayed
the moral courage that forever after
ward impressed me- He is God fear
ing man, and he always says his prayers
before turning in. When he was ready
to turn in, he knelt down by his berth
and prayed. A stiffness came over the
wardroom Immediately, and / concluded
that if Sampson had the courage to say
his prayers in the presence OF his ship
mates I could do likewise, so l have
never hesitated since to pray before
turning In.
"Only those who have sailed the sea
in a warship can appreciate how much
moral courage is required to kneel down
in the presence of lot of roistering
ship,nates and ask Gods blessing.
Sampson never makes his religious de-
yotions offensive TO his shipmates' but
he reserves the right to he master OF his
own conscience, as he is master Of the

Resting.

There are times when to think is a
burden. Then one should sleep. No
medicine does such good as restful
slumber. Vacation is needed by all who
do faithful work. Some people boast
that they never take vacation and re-
fleet unfavorably upon those who do.
This is unkind and unjust. Some people
never do enough to know what it is to
be actually tired. They can have no
sympathy for those who are so worn
with fatigue that life itself is burden,
much less can they give safe advice.
Change of work, say some, is all you
need. This is often the sheerest nom
sense. 1t is disastrously false in some
cases. When the body is tired, it must
rest or break. If the brain is overtaxed,
it is not enough to stop the mental
strain and overwork the body. Rest!
That means to some people to lie in
hammock or fish, if you are sure not to
be troubled with catching anything.
Let the exhausted powers Of body have
time to repair and replace the wasted
tissues. Beware Of overexertion of any
kind. Be patient when others call you
indolent. Let them race up the noun
tains and work off superduous flesh and
energy. If you have none to spare,
watch them do it, but don't you do it.
Take time to just be and enjoy the
exquisite sense of living. This is n
beautiful world. Stop bit and enjoy it
and be glad with Him who makes and
keeps it ever fresh and glorious. How
beautiful God isl Rest in Him This is
summer time work.

To labor in thy service, Lord,
To bear thy word with willing feet,
To WELD the Spirits potent sword
And do great things for Thee were sweet.
But sweeter yet to be content
To face LIES duties in Thy name
And make each days encouragement
An Offering for Thine altar flame.
Sweetest of all Il were to wait
Thy summons, whatsoever IL be-
To actions high and burdens great
Or sickbed inactivity.
Pence, soul The wait thy spirit grieves
May prove the appointed hour for one
Worthier than thou to CLEAN His sheaves
And win the Masters glad well donei''
