THE SIMPLE DESIRE.

o Master let me walk with Thee.
In lowly paths of service frec
Tell me Thy secret, help me bear
The strain Of toll, the fret OF care.
Help me the slow Of heart TO move
BY some clear, winning word OF love;
Teach me the wsywsrd feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.
Teach me Thy patience, still with Theo
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong
In trust that triumphs over wrong.
In hope that sends shining ray
Far down the futures broadening way.
In peace, that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, o Master, let me live.

TALK OF PEACE
WITH wARLrke INDICATIONS
Emperor Nicholas and His Advisers in
counciI-Japan Expected to
Make Peace Proposals.

St Petersburg, Jan. 3, 2:1O a. m.-
The conference which Emperor Nicho-
las has been holding with members of
the council of the empire. NJ. Witte
and other members and advisers, on
the internal and external situations
have not yet been concluded, but moth
Ing else has occurred which would in
pared to depart from its present pro-
gram of continuing the war to the bit
ter end.
Nevertheless talk Of peace was
heard Sunday in many quarters, the
foundation for it being ascribed to For
eign Minister Lamsdorff's alleged po-
sition in favor of such course on the
ground that. aside from the humilla-
ton to military prestige involved, II
would mean the REIMBURSEMENT OF
Manchuria, to which Russia already Is
formally pledged.
There is no confirmation of this
statement of Count Lamsdorffs posi-
ton beyond the general knowledge that
he always has belonged to the peace
party. 1t is quite probable that the
peace talk gossip has been produced
by the arrival of foreign papers, as II
receives no encouragement in respon-
sible quarters here.
The belief which existed in excep-
tionally well informed diplomatic cir
cles that Japan would follow the fall
of Port Arthur with moderate peace
propositions has not been realized. Up
to the present time nothing has
reached the government either through
the United States or other channels.
Diplomats here cannot figure out
the general lines of treaty at this
iuncture which both the belligerents
! could accept, but realize that if Japan
makes any sort of offer, unless 1t Is
rejected outright as not entertainable'
negotiations will be opened, and nego,
tiations once entered upon friends oi
both parties could use their good Of
fees to bring about terms. This is the
only hope for termination of the war
which diplomats can see.

most important of Its five days ses-

railroads and the forest. In the after
noon there were addresses by Presf-

dor President Hill of the Great North
ern railroad, and others. The Presi-
dent said:
1T is a pleasure to greet the mem-
bers of the American Forest Congress.
You have made. by your coming, q
meeting which is without parallel in
the history OF forestry. For the first
time the great business and the forest
interests OF the nation have Joined to-
gether. through delegates altogether
worthy OF the organizations they rep
resent, to consider their individual
and their common interests In the for
ests. This meeting may well be
called a congress of forest users. for
that you who are users OF the forest
come together to consider how best to
combine use with conservation. is to
me full OF the most hopeful possible
promise for our forests.
THE producers, the manufacturers
and the great common carriers OF tina
nation had long failed to realize their
true and vital relation to the great for
ests OF the United States. and forests
and industries both suffered from that
failure.
"But the time OF Indifference and
Misunderstanding has gone by. Your
coming is a very great step toward the
solution OF the forest problem. prob
lem which cannot be settled until 1t is
settled right. | do not in the least
under.rate the power OF the awakened
public opinion; but in the final test 1t
will be the attitude on the industries
of the country which more than any
thing else will determine whether or
not our forests are to be preserved.
This is true because by far the
greater part OF all our forests must
pass Into the hands OF forest users.
whether directly or through the gov
ernment, which will continue to hold
some of them. but only as trustee. The
forest is for use. and its users will de-

to its first position, which will bring
the dice into their original position.
This is movement No. 2.
