HARVARD LOSES BOAT RACE
Cambridge Crew Had Advantage
From the Start.
Greatest Crowd Ever Gathered to
Witness Struggle on Thames Be.
tween Americans and Britons. =

Putney, England.-Calmly, as if
they were sure of the result, the oars
men of the Cambridge eight gave
Harvard's rowers a stern chase over
the four and three-eighths miles of
the historic Putney-Mortlake course
on the Thames and, sticking to their
steady stroke most of the way, won
by more than two lengths in nineteen
minutes sixteen seconds-twenty-nine
seconds worse than Oxford's record of
thirteen years ago. Harvard not only
lost the toss for position, but got off
badly, and practically never had a
chance.
Nevertheless the crimson galley
men made more than one good squirt,
and when shooting Hammersmith
bridge almost broke the composure
of the Cantabs by making a cut of a
length in the British boats lead. But
in addition to their other handicaps
the visitors had the disadvantage of
bad steering in an important part of
the course, their coxswain, NJ. B..
Blagden, not having f~amiliarized him
self with all the tricks of the tide.
The Englishmen's triumph was due
not only to their superiority in start
ing and their better knowledge of the
going, but to superb steadiness on
the part of their stroke, Stuart, who
declined to be worried by the Ameri-
cans gallant efforts to Cvertake the
~pacemakers. In a word, the better
crew won, although it is to be said
that the Cantabs were worm out at
the finish, while the Crimsons were
fresh and lively.

DOUKHOBORS FORCED TO EAT.
Liquid Food Pumped Down the
Threats of Fanatics in Jail.

Montreal, Quebec. = Fourteen
ooukhobors incarcerated in the Jail
It Regina absolutely refuse to par
axe of food. Nourishment has to
re forced through their teeth by sci
lntific means. These men are lead
RS of the famous band that braved
he prickly cactus with naked feet
While they wandered nude over the
,rairies.
They have resolved that if the po-
ice authorities will not allow them
% turn Saskatchewan into a veritable
garden of Eden they will starve their
,odies. 1t was not long ago that sew
eral Doukhobor fanatics who were
Imprisoned in the same jail refused
10 eat unless they were fed on Cali
fornia peaches, unwashed potatoes
and peanuts. These fourteen will
not even eat the rawest of vegetables
Or the most tempting fruit.
The authorities realized that ex-
traordinary measures had to be
adopted. A physician was sum-
moned. Each Doukhobor was laid
on his back, pinned to the floor and
liquid nourishment pumped into him.
This proved so successful that it was
resolved to repeat the operation three
times a day until the fanatics should
come to their senses. The Doukho-
bors have got to live, whether they
like it or not.

came as it were great drops of blood
falling down upon the ground" And
God heard and answered His prayer
by sending an angel from heaven,
strengthening Him.
Jesus was not, here, seeking to
bend His Fathers will, but asking
God for strength to reach the cross,
and God sent an angel in answer to
that prayer. This is the scripturaI
account of why our Lord was N
agon.. This cup, which Christ was
drinking to the dregs, was the cup Of
Gods wrath upon the sins Of men.
Christ was drinking the bitterness
of the cup in our stead. His bloody
sweat was a ~sprinkling, an antici-
patsd atonement, upon the very
| ground which had been cursed" be-
cause of mans sin. No imagination
can feel, no words can describe the
agony that Christ had to bear in
Gethsemane. {
So why need we search our imagi-
nations and try to manufacture mys-
ferrous explanations why Christ
made this prayer when the answer
and reason for the prayer, is given
in the very account itself, in the
necessity of the angels appearance
When Jesus said, mot My will.
but Thine, be done" He resigned
Himself to Gods will. If He Should
die of agony, it vas Gods will, but
l~,eOprayed that this cup should pass
from j IN. But His atoning death
was not to be there in Gethsemane,
in the night, but He was to be lifted
upon the cross of Calvary in order
that all men would be drawn unto
Him.
We know that Christ's was a sensi-
tive nature but this is not saying
that He vas not brave. And there is
no reason to- believe that He, in anti
cipation of His death, would yield
to the thought any more than an Or
binary man. So, therefore, because
He suffered even unto DEATH" as
He did, in the Garden of Gethsem-
ane, is in itself an argument that He
was bearing more than the antici-
patton.
So, therefore, let us not confound
Christ's suffering in Gethsemane to
lack of fortitude or bravery. Our
Lord was no stole. He here felt that
His physical body was giving way
under IN agony which no language
can describe.
Throughout the whole Old Tesla
ment period God, under the Levitical
code Of laws, educated His chosen
people to the fact that without the
shedding Of blood there was no re-
mission of sins. Allthese forms of sacri-
fetal atonement of the sins of Israel
wore typical of Christ, the Lamb of
God. And car it be supposed for
one moment that our Lord did not
fully realize this in Gethsemane?
And throughout the whole New Tes-
lament gospel, it is plainly stated
everywhere that u peace is through
the blood of the cross. Surely then
that great Paschal Lamb of God that
was to take away the sins of the
world did not hesitate nor falter at
the approach OF the atonement by
the shedding of His blood upon tie
cross. 1t was for the JOY that a
set before Him that He endured
the cross and despised shame, and
He won thereby His seat at the right
hand of the throne of God.
The staggering of Christ's physical
body underneath this tremendous
burden must not be mistaken 50r a
faltering of His will. ,

Gods Best.

1t is impossible to rush into Gods
presence, catch up anything we fancy,
and run off with it. To attempt this
will end in mere delusion and disap-
pointment. Nature will not unveil
her rarest beauty to the chance tour
list. Pictures which are the result of
a life work do not disclose their Sc
cret loveliness to the saunterer down
a gallery. No character al be read
at a glance. And Gods best cannot
be ours apart from patient waiting in
His holy presence, writes the Rev. F.
B. Meyer. The superficial may be
put off with a parable, a pretty story,
but it is not given to such to know
the mysteries of the Kingdom of
Heaven. Rams Horn.

Prayer.

Infinite Ruler of creation, whose
spirit dwells in every world, we look
not into the solemn heavens for Thee,
though Thou art there; we search not
in the ocean for Thy presence, though
it murmurs with Thy voice; we wait
not for the wings of the wind to
bring Thee nigh. though they are Thy
messengers; for Thou art in our
Hearts, o God, and makest Thine
abode in the deep places of our
thought and love; and into each gem
tie affection, each contrite sorrow,
each higher aspiration we would re-
tire to meet and worship Thee
