to the tourist and sportsman. The author
is Mr.. Morton M: Cassaday, q writer OF

The True Religion.

1t is said that Henry II. of France
decided to become a monk. He sought
out a holy friar, whose word would be
to him as Divine monitor. "Wilt thou
promise me implicit obedience if take
direction of thy conscience" said the
friar. II WILL" replied the king.
'sThen," said the holy man, "go back to
thy kingdom and rule" The story re-
minds one of the fine saying Of French
writer: Beware of religion which
substitutes itself for everything; that.
makes monks. Seek religion which
penetrates everything; that makes
Christians. Relatively it is seldom
that experience of religion leads men
to do different things from what they
had been doing previously, except in
the abandonment of plain sin, but it
requires them to do everything with
different motive in different temper.
Ordinary life, with its joys and sor-
rows, its cares and hopes, is the ma
terial which the Divine life is to inter-
penetrate, to transfuse and transform.
The king is to serve God by ruling. the
mother by care of her children. the
man of affairs by diligence in them.
The voices we hear calling us to new
enterprises that men call distinctively
religious should be carefully interro-
gated. They are not invariably from
God.-Boston Waterman.

Days of Diligent Seeking.-Those
| were days of diligent seeking for
Peter after he was granted a vision
| of his Lord. He gives us hint OF
what he was seeking for in the fourth
verse, where he speaks of the exceed
ing great and precious promises,
which, believed, would enable one to
become partaker of the Divine ma
ture. That which he says he wants
| to do for you and me in the thirteenth
verse, 'stir you up, by putting you
in remembrance" was exactly what
was taking place in his heart during
| those days of doubt and conflict. His
conscience was stirring up his men,
DRY, and every word of Jesus which
| he could recall which bore on his
special case and his special need was
cherished and became the sure founda-
ton of his confidence, SO that when
Jesus again appeared to the disciples
at the lake of Galilee and John told
him it was Jesus on the shore, he
could not wait for the boat to land,
| but his patience to reach the side
| of his Lord impelled him to cast him
| self into the sea and wade to shore.
| He knew that he was not cast off, for
Jesus had said him that cometh I'M
to Me I will in no wise cast out" He
knew that he was forgiven his eyre
gious sin. for Jesus had told him dur
ing the days of His ministry that
/ every sin would be forgiven man save
the sin against the Holy Ghost. He
knew that he had salvation, for he
remembered that Jesus had said that
whatsoever believeth in Him hath
everlasting life" Resting on the tex

Deep Concern Over Roosevelt
Oath of Allegiance Order
to Printers
FEAR AN uNFRIENDLY ATTITUDE
Tho the Presidents Friendliness To-

All, His mo Discrimination" Order
Makes Him Assume an Unfriendly
Attitude-President Mitchell Opposed

Washington, Sept 21.-Labor leaders
are deeply concerned over President
Roosevelt's order directing the employ
los Of the government printing office to
subscribe to the oath of allegiance.
This Is one of the questions which will
be considered by the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor,
which viii begin its next session to-
day.
The labor leaders suddenly have be-
come aware that this order was a direct
result of the Miller case. They assert
that the president was unfair to or
gained labor, and they will endeavor
to secure further expression from
him on this subject.
Some of the leaders contend that
when the presidents mo discrimina-
ton" order, which placed non union
and union labor on an equal basis, was
issued, President Roosevelt assumed ar
unfrendly attitude toward union Labor.
The officers of the federation will con-
slider ways and means to induce the
president to modify his order. or at
least make some expression in this
connection friendly to organization.
just what the leaders propose to DO
is not entirely clear and, so far as can
be learned. here. from the government
officials, the incident Is closed.
That President Roosevelt is friendly
to organized labor Is known to every
member of the labor unions. but his
action in guaranteeing the right of the
non-union man, to earn a. living for
himself and family appears to have
agitated some OF the hot headed lead
ers. and they are threatening to make
an issue of the question If they can
muster enough strength.
President Mitchell OF the United
Mineworkers of America. arrived here
Saturday night to attend the session
of the executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, Mr.. Mitchell
will not discuss the questions which
will be considered, but he is understood
to be opposed to any action concerning
the case of Assistant Foreman Miller.

order, and the proposal to make an is
sue OF the question Of requiring the
employees of the government printing
office to take the oath of allegiance.
