The Prayer He Addressed to the
Throne of Mercy.
The following example Of a quaint
and selfish prayer does not come from
the liturgy; it is from "Glimpses Of
Ancient Hackney" 30 Lord, thou
knowest that have nine estates in the
city of London and likewise that l
have lately purchased an estate in fee
simple in the county of Essex. 1 be-
seech thee to preserve the two coun-
ties of MiddleseX and Essex from fire
and earthquake, and, as 1 have a
mortgage in Hertfordshire, I beg of
thee likewise to have an eye Of COM
passion on that county, and for the
rest of the counties thou mayest deal
with them as thou art pleased. o
Lord, enable the bank to answer all
their bills and make all my debtors
good men. Give prosperous voyage
and return to the Mermaid sloop, be
cause l have insured it, and, as thou
hast said the days Of the wicked are
but short, l trust in thee that thou
wilt not forget thy promise, as 1 have
purchased an estate in reversion which
will be mine on the death of that
pro1igate young man, Sir J. L. Keep
my friends from sinking and preserve
me from thieves and housebreakers
and make all my servants so honest
and faithful that they may attend to
my interest and never cheat me out

be a great moral support to the weak

One thing Is certain, that if such an
arrangement is to be made, the sec
Ietary of state is the man to do it,
and another thing is equally certain,
that while there were so many things
requiring his attention at home, he
would not be going to South America
and making a trip possibly around
to the west coast merely for the pur-
pose of extending the courtesy of his
presence to the Pan American Confer
ence.
All the talk that has. been made
about the imminence of an outbreak
in China and the necessity of immedi-
ately sending warships and emergency
troops to the far east, seems to be dy-
ing down. Reports have reached the
State Department that the anti-foreign
feeling is dying down and that the
boycott is apt to fall by its own
weight. The Navy Department has
withdrawn the battle ships that it had
sent to north China waters and the
bulk of the American feet is now at
Shanghai and southwark. The agents
OF the State Department are alert and
not apt to be caught mapping, for
though the outlook at present is
promising, a calm in China frequent
Iy preludes the bursting of the real
storm.
This government is making more
effort than ever to push American
trade abroad and the latest move has
been a bill introduced by senator
Overman to create presidential
commission to study the needs of the
cotton trade in the Far East. This
plan has been presented to the secre-
tary of commerce and labor who
approved it IN its intent but suggested
that as the department already had
the organization completed for such
work, it was useless to go to the
expense of equ1pping a special com
mission. Consequently some cotton
experts may be sent to the Far East
to study market conditions, and there
have been arrangements made to send
to all of the great milling centers
samples of the clothes, and designs
most IN demand in the east ern market.
These exhibits are already being pre-
pared by the department and will be
sent out to the milling centers in
this country as rapidly as possible.
