CHARGES ORDERED
HOUSE TO PROBE ALLEGATIONS
OF CORRUPTION OF ITS
MEMBERS.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-A reso-
luton providing for an investigation
of the charges made by Mr.. Lilley, OF
Connecticut, that members Of the
Naval Affairs Committee had been un-
duly influenced in recommending GER
tain submarine torpedo boats, was re-
ported to the House of Representa-
tives today by Mr.. Dalzell, of Penn

The subject had been under consid-
Grafton by the committee for two
weeks. The resolution follows:
Whereas, George L. Lilley, Repre-
sentative from the State of Connecti-
cut, on his responsibility as a member
o fthis House, before the Committee
on Rules, has among other things
stated in substance that the Electric
Boat Company, of New Jersey, and
their predecessors, the Holland Boat
Company, have been engaged in eff.
forts to exert corrupting influence on
certain members of Congress in their
legislative capacities, and have, in
fact, exerted such corrupting influ-
ence;
Therefore be is resolved, that a |
committee of five members be ap.
pointed to investigate the charges
made by said George L. Lilley Of cor
rupt practices OH the part of the said
and of members of Con-
gress with respect to legislation, and
that said committee shall have au-
thority to send for persons and papers

Longing For Peace.

You say that for many years you
have been praying and longing for
peace and abiding rest of soul, and
that it has somttimes come for a
while, and then has gone, leaving you
darker than before; and yet you do
not know anything In your life to
keep you from God. You are (all
unconsciously) resting in feelings, not
In faith. Remember that the true Or
der of the Christian life is-first,
Gods facts about Christ as our per.
sonal Saviour; second, our faith In
Christ; and then, and only then.
thirdly, our feelings or experience as
the result of our faith in God. Now.
IL we reverse this order we get into
spiritual difficulty and depression. 1t
Is sometimes said that for one look at
self we should take ten looks at
Christ. | would rather say that we
should not look at self at all, but be
ever occupied with Christ Rest alb
solutely in Gods Word, and keep In
that attitude of trust. whether you
have any delightful feelings or not.
If. as you say, there is nothing of sin
between YOU and God. just rest abso.
lutely upon His Word; and as you
cling by simnle faith to Wis sure
promises. abiding peace will surely
come. joy and peace in believing.

Influence,

influence is to be measured, not by
the extent of surface it covers. but
by its kind. man may spread his
mind, his feelings, his opinions.
through great extent; but il his
mind be a low one, he manifests no
greatness. A wretched artist may
fill city with daubs, and by a false.
snowy style achieve reputation:
but the man OF genius, who leaves
behind him one great picture, in
which immortal beauty is embodied,
and which Is silently to spread true
taste in art, exerts an incomparably
higher influence.
Now the noblest influence on earth
Is that exerted on character, and he
who puts forth this does a great
work. The father and mother of an
unnoticed family who in their seclu.
sion awaken the mind of one child to
the idea and love of perfect goodness,
who awaken in him strength OF
will to repel all temptation, and who
send him out prepared to profit by
the conflicts of life, surpass in influ-
ence Napoleon breaking the world
to his sway.-Channing.
