SHUT IN"

SHU IN.
Come We apart and rest awhile"
Apart from all life's busy ways
Its ceaseless toil-its crowded days:
Too weak its jarring sounds to bear
Too tired its very joys to share
With weary frame and troubled breast,
The Master bids me come and rest
The work the busy brain has planned.
Drops idly from the nerveless hand;
/ long for service, but in vain,
And, bowed beneath the cross OF pain
But little left Of life to live,
What have / now my God to give?
o, troubled heart. why thus oppressed!
This broken, suffering life may rest
On Him whose everlasting arm
Protects His feeblest child from harm,
He knoweth that His will we seek, ~.
Though spirit fail. and flesh be weak;
The plying love to which we trust
Remembereth that we are but dust
To bear in patience. day by day:
To count the blessings on my way;
To lift to God grateful heart.
To wait His tirne-be this my part!
These days. of WEAKNESS and pain
May bring their need of truest gain.
And lengthening nights of sad unrest,
And lonely hours, may all be blest
For as it is the fearful eyes
That look the oftenest to the skies.
The heavenly pathway shines more clear
AS shadows fall on all things here,
And resting in the desert place,

Spoke in Support of Puerto Rican Bill,
Yesterday.

A Washington dispatch says that in
the debate in the house yesterday. Rep
resentative Mondell spoke in support
of the pending Puerto Rican bill. The
imposition of the tariff proposed by the
bill will, he said, place no special bur-
den Upon the people of Puerto Rico,
and will raise the needed revenue for
support Of their government and
schools. The real question, however,
is whether We have the right to protect
our people against the products and
labor of any region over which our flag
floats, the Philippines included. This
question should be settled here an6
now, so far as the vote of the house is
concerned, and should be done by pass
