man soul" said the bishop. I'VE know in
the past there has been no counterpart
of ourselves, and therefore no example
to which we may look for refuge and
guidance save the example of Him who
lived our myriad lives in one. 10 tread
our life path not knowing whittier 1t
leads, in complete ignorance OF the eff
feet of our actions what results the
forces of our life are accomplishing. is
a task that tries the stoutest hearts. On
the one hand one is appalled, by the
risk he is taking and the impenetrable
darkness which shrouds the future. On
the other hand, he is impelied onward by
the conviction that If he be true and not
only the coward in the battle of life this
is the road, the only road, his feet must
tread.
There is an untold depth of meaning
underlying the Bible words The just
shall walk by faith Every step out into
the unknown is venture of faith, Il
throwing of ones self upon God with an
instructive feeling that we cannot reason
accurately or think correctly or behold
the true relations of right and wrong and
good and evil unless we keep moving on
ward and developing our powers by
ceaseless exercise. The wisdom comes
not by waiting listlessly for 1t, but by
pushing forward in full assurance or
faith that at every onward step God Will
reveal it to us in greater degree. And
that prayer of faith is always answered.
The prayer for wisdom is the one Kind of
prayer regarding which there can be no
uncertainty.

Gov. Post said the crop conditions In
Porto Rico this year are veTy poor owing
TO the severe drought. 1t was his opinion
that similar conditions would prevail next
year. Our great trouble in Porto Rico is
that we have outgrown our Transportation
facilities" he said. In the first year I'M
der civil government our exports amounted
to Sl3,HOCJ0. Last year they reached
Si5,No.oOo. and this year they come up to
SJ5,G00O0o, without improvements for trans
portation.
In order to secure better facilities for
transportation, Gov. Post said, Il shall
urge the dredging of San Juan harbor and
the rec aiming of marsh lands by bukheads
and filling in processes with the material
dredged from San Juan harbor. This will
give several miles of space for the ham
ding of vesses. We have ony one wharf
now, but we hope to have more when the
appropriations are available"
