States except those who may be en-
titled to reenlistment under the pro-
visions Of law relating to continuous
service, and excepting also Asiatics on
the Asiatic station, who may be enlist
ed on the messman branch to fill va
cancies, but not to serve elsewhere
than on that station"
Naval officers attribute the high en-
cheney Of the gunners and all enlisted
men in the navy to their being natives
Of the United States. It Is now the
legitimate boast that the American
sailors are the most intelligent men Of
that class in the world. They are not
mere machines, but are capable Of
mastering the most intricate mechan-
ism OF . modern war vessel and tn
armament, and, II occasion requires,
OF executing their duties intelligently
without the orders of their superior
officers.
Most Of the American sailors Of to-
day are recruited from the inland
states. A high official Of the depart
ment Is authority for the statement
that the best men Of the navy come
from the farms OF Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and Kansas. For years the sec-
retaries Of the navy have endeavored
to better the condition of the enlisted
men, and this has been accomplished
by legislation and by new regulations.
The food served is more varied and
better than formerly, and more inter-
est Is taken in the physical and moral
condition Of the men. Gymnasiums
and libraries have been established at
naval stations and on board ships
wherever practicable.

suits, but God can be found as the soul
withdraws itself to its closet and there
communes with God alone. David says:
''My soul waiteth in silence for God
only" The silence of the hour alone in
earnest seeking after God brings the soul
into His blessed presence. We must
seek God in prayer. It is the vital air Of
the Christians life. God is lost because
prayer is neglected. God may be found
through seeking Him in prayer. And
again, we must seek Him by a surren-
dered will. The self-willed, rebellious
heart never can gain the presence of
God. He shuts Himself away from such,
and leaves them to plunge on in the peril
of their own willfulness. But the sur
render Of the will is not all. There must
be obedience-seeking God by the path
way Of obedience. Do not think you are
truly seeking God if you are refusing to
obey His commandment. Behold Ju-
dab, as they seek the Lord with their
whole desire! 1t was a busy nation
busy in obeying God. The idols were
broken down, the false affairs removed,
the high places destroyed 1t was ma
ton in obedience seeking God. Jesus de-
c1ares: .'If a man love Me, he will keep
My Word; and My Father will love him;
and We will come unto him and make
Our abode with him" Obedience, keep
ing Gods Word, will bring into the
presence of the Father and the Son.
What is it in your life that is keeping
you from finding your way back to God?
Within your fnmost heart you know
what it is that has shut God away as
conscious presence in your life. Give it
up! Obey Him and God will be found
of you, and peace and joy will come to
your heart and life. Judah sought and
found the Lord, and then Scripture goes
on to declare that Jehovah gave them
rest round about" It is always so. The
soul that has found God has found that
rest which God alone can give. Willyou
not seek the Lord in prayer, In surren-
der, in obedient faith? He will be found
Of you! He will give you rest!

THE FASHIONS FOR SPRING.

Goats and skirts are now being made
of the same material, but they are no
longer fashioned upon lines Of almost
geometric severity. The newest mate
rial for these, and one that is rapidly
coming forward is crepe de Chine.
The Tpring coat may be made in any
one of three distinct shapes; one is the
short sack coat, loose and straight,
which was seen last season; another is
a modified Russian blouse, somewhat
suggestive of the kimoni; third style
is plain, loose caot with cape.
From presen4 indications, two note.
worthy features of the new gowns are
likely to prevail. The more important
is the ever increasing vogue of the
short skirt. The other is the frequent
use of drapery across the front of the
waist.
Too much Importance cannot be Civ
en- to the soft, sheer fabrics that lend
themselves so rapidly to the graceful
ho,, ing lines of the seasons modes.
The voiles and veilings are, perhaps,
in highest favor. Bordered materials
in soft silk and cotton mixtures, sheer
cottons and linen canvas are among the
popular novelties. A CLINT of goldis

buttons, cords, frogs and pendants are
some of the forms of this military dec.
Grafton. Laces that are fine and Aimy
are the choice of the moment. The col
ored cotton embroideries are among
the novelties. There are lingerie frills
and ruchings without number for the
sleeves and neck of the fashionable
gown, and buttons are conspicuous. -
