The Need of All Ages.
 What we all need is to take the su- pernatural into our lives. Do not let us depend on brain and muscle and nerve. We want mighty supply of the supernatural. We want with us a. divine force mightier than the waters and the tempests, and when the Lord took two steps on bestormed Galilee, putting one foot on the winds and the other on the waves, he proved himself mightier than hurricane and pillow. We want with us divine force greater than the fires, and when the Lord cool ed Nebuchadnezzar's furnace until Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did not even have to fan themselves he proved himself mightier than the fire. We want divine force stronger than wild beast, and when the Lord made Daniel lion tanner he proved himself stronger than the wrath of the jungles. There are so many diseases in the world we want with us divine Physi- clan capable of combating ailments, and our Lord when on earth showed what he could do with catalepsy and paralysis and ophthalmia and demen- tia. Oh, take this supernatural into all your lives! How to get it2 Just as you get anything you want-by appli- cation.

PLEA OF POSTOFFICE CLERKS.
Reasons Advanced for CIassIfyins
Those in the Service.

Discussing the question Of better pay
a POstohice clerk said this morning.
Congressman Loud. chairman OF the
House Committee On PostoGs-es and Post
Roads. is credited with having said that
the appeal OF the Postofice clerks OF the
country to be classified would not be
Needed this year. any more than il has
been for the last ffteen years during
which time this faithful boy Of public
servants have been Sighting for the recog-
milton 10 which they feel they are en-
titled.
Chairman Loud contends that 10 give
all clerks an annual increase in salary
would be detrimental to the good Of the
service and would abolish the present
merit system AT the present time there
is absolutely no merit system in vogue in
the Postofice Department, and the sal
aries Of clerks are raised at the pleasure
Of the Postmaster or higher officials.
Mr. Loud claims that it would be bad
policy and demorai.zrng TO pass a Law,
which would promote excellent. good. bad
and Indifferent clerks alike without re-
gard 20 their qualifications. but Mr.. Loud
fails to state that the Postmaster has the
authority 10 prefer charges and dismiss
inefficient men ana that even AT the pres-
en-. time men are required 10 maintain a
high standard in their work and they are
obliged to take examinations twice a wear
The clerks have a strong organization
and they are just as eager to better the
service as Mr. Loud is. and they believe
that one way to do this is by giving them
something TO work for. They believe that
the passage Of q classification bin will
result in the wedding out of undeserving
men and the retaining OF the good
