SLAVERY ONCE MORE.
Youths Companion.

Youths Companion.
Thirty-six years after the promul.
CATION OF the emancipation prOclama-
tion OF President Lincoln, the Amer.
lean flag once more waves over slaves.
The United States has annexed
Kingdom" - that OF Sulu-in the
Philippines, and with it annexed
small slave population. BY the treaty
negotiated with the Sultan of the
country, the slaves do not become free
by their passage under the American
flag They are TO remain slaves in
definitely. The only right gained by
them as the result or this treaty is
that of purchasing their freedoms at
the market price for slaves in that
part of the world
This incident does not prove that
the American Republic accepts the
principles OF slavery in the Malay
seas, while rejecting it in America.
1t does show that our government
simply intends to hold protectorate
over Philippines. Its attitude, broad
ly stated, is that OF protection to the
Sulu Islands. 1t will not assume in
dependent political authority over
them, or obtrusively interfere in their
habits Of life. Their development IN
civil government, and in better modes
Of living, will be sought by unpresum-
ing process Of education, but the ar
bitrary domination Of conqueror is
offensive to the governments sense Of
consistency with the spirit and prin-
ciples that animate our people and
underle our natural life. No one can
doubt that, il the Sulu archipelago
remains under the Stars and Stripes,
slavely will ultimately be abolished
there by the educated assent Of the
people.

SOME TIME-SOMEWHERE.

Unanswered yet-the prayer your lips
have pleaded
In agony of heart these many years?
Does faith begin to fail? Is hope depart
ing,
And think you all in vain those falling
tears?
Say not the Father has not heard your
prayer;
You shall have your desire some time,
somewhere.
Unanswered yet-though when you first
presented
This one petition at the Fathers
throne,
1t seemed you could not wait the time
of asking,
So urgent was your heart to have it
known?
Though years have passed since then,
do not despair,
The Lord will answer you some time,
somewhere.
Unanswered yet? Nay, do not say un-
granted;
Perhaps your part is not yet wholly
done;
The work began when first your prayer
was uttered,
And God will finish what he has begun
If you will keep the incense burning
there
His glory you will see some time, some
where.
Unanswered yet? Faith cannot be un
answered.
Her feet are firmly planted on thu
rock;
Amid the widest storms she stands un
daunted,
Nor quails before the loudest thunde
shock.
She knows Omnipotence has heard he
prayer,
And cries: at shall be Lonesome time
