LEAD, KINDLY LIGHT"
HItnisterinI Attack on Cardinal Ne"
mans Famous Hymn.
Lrnrsaa City InNrnal.

Kansas City Journal.
Last week a minister of princeton lhu''
found occasion to assail Cardinal New
mans famous hymn, Lead, Kindly Light
IN an address upon THE Psalms and
p,,,aneelical Work" The chief objection
N this beautiful song was stated thus:
1T may mean anything that any imam
ohoosas IN make it mean, be he Christian
pantheist or Buddhist. There should be
n view of God in His character as re-
vealed to us-in His holiness, justice good
ness and truth.
Sinre the childhood of the human race
the conviction of the existence OF an oIh-
nipotent deity has been as firmly hXed IN
tho hearts of most men as the idea OF lie
itself. Millions and millions OF the earth
inhabitants have bowed down ana Wor-
shiped with many forms and ceremonies
the deities of hundreds Of religions under
as many names. The yearning soul OF man
has ever chung with fanatical tenaclty 10
the fundamental theory of a benehceht
Savior who will pilot the faithful over the
dark river to the mystery of the future.
How many millions of weary pilgrims near
The end of the Journey of life have
strotcbed forth their hands in mute en-
treaty with the spirit Of this appeal on
their lips:
Lead, Kindly Light aHld the en0'i 'i'''s
Lead Thou me on.
The night is dark and am far from home,
Lead Thou me on.
Keen Thou my feet-I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me-
Yes. the Princeton minister is right-this
is the universal hymn. 1t bears the senti-
ment Of all-embracing love and trust and
whether II comes from the agonized hear'
of the lonely Mohammedan kneeling on his
prayer rug in the desert with his race TO-
ward Mecca, or whether dark-sklnhed
devotee duplicates the image OF Buddha'
or a Christian turns his dimming eyes TO
his cruclhx, the hearts Of all send FORM the
cry Lead, Kindly Light
When the glories OF the world begin to
fade doubts encompass and fears assall
the human soul, creeds and formulas, doc
trines and dogmas sublimate into one in
vacation for the hand OF a divinity TO lead
us through the "encircling gloom" from
which our hearts shrink and tremble. II Is
then that the mighty OF the earth are lev
eled to the most humble and in the democ'
racy of death the prayer is for light.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
1 loved TO choose and see my path, but now
loved the garish day, and, spite Of fears
Pride ruled my will; remember not past
years.
Truly this sublime hymn may mean any
thing TO the Christian, Pantheist or Bud
dhist. II breathes the prayer for divine
guidance and typihes the childlike depend
ence of the human race upon higher
power that can lead us 70 the light through
the INFINITE mystery that invests death
The hymn is inspiring and uplifting. II has
comforted the pillows Of thousands Of
death-beds and has klndled the fame Of
| hope in thousands Of discouraged souls
| 7 cad. Kindly Light, DER moor and fen
| DER crag ana torrent, TIL the night f.
| gone"

Colorado sugar beet growers are form
ing an alliance for the purpose of main
tanning the price of sugar beets at s. a
ton, and general strike in all parts Of
the state is to be called, so that not a
single sugar beet plant could be operated
unless beet raisers get a fair price for
their beets, This would be a very hard
blow at the Beet Sugar trust. 1t would
be very much like pouring paris green
on the potato vines in order to kill off
the bugs and at the same time kill the
potatoes. Closing the beet sugar facto-
ries would be hard on the trust, but put
ting the beets in cold storage would be
a rather expensive luxury for the beet
growers.

Mere Size Seldom
Counts.

i he great deeds or the world
. have generally been wrought
by men Of comparatively
small stature. Against Alex
ander, Cee sar, Napoleon, and
Grant, Washington is the ex-
ception, proving the rule. In
literature, art, science, COM
merce and industry the Same
rule among men obtains. A
lump OF coal Is not worth as
much as a diamond, although
the composition is the same
in both. Mere size seldom
counts. The indefinable sonne-
thing called character is what
is worth while in the world.
There are life insurance COM
panies larger and older than
the Bankers Reserve Life
Company OF Omaha, but
none better In character. In
ratio OF assets to liabilities it
is stronger than tn strongest,
its securities are not sur
passed, its policies are not
excelled. It has all the adj
vantages OF governmental in
surancs and none Of its dis
advantages. The man who
holds a Bankers Reserve Life
policy has the satisfaction OF
knowing that he has the best
insurance on earth. Write
for Information to Bascom II.
