Spiritual vision and National Vitality
-(Prov. 90: ts; Psa. 4e.J
Prov. 90: IS. The difference in the
rendering Of this passage in the Re-
vised Version is significant. Instead
OF "the people perish II reads, "the
people cast off restraint" II is with
nations as with individuals. The alb.
sence Of spiritual vision, of high pur-
pose to be realized and lofty goal to
be attained, removes all motive for
self-control loosens all restraint, and
so makes life nothing but the salts
faction Of present desires, which In
wolves dissipation Of its energies and
degeneration OF its powers.
Just as the selfcontrol of the ath-
lete, inspired by the vision of the
goal he would attain. results in the
increase Of his vitality, so the re-
straint Of selfcontrol imposed upon
a nation by itself, in the effort to at

possible national life and character,

tallty.
The lawlessness which has disgrace
cd our national life of recent years
is a sign Of national weakness. and
is undoubtedly due to the lack of
vision Of spiritual goal for our ma
tiOnal life, to the absence of moral
issues in our national affairs. to the

tacit approval By the many of the

THE TALE OF CONNELLY.
The Man Who Was Martyr For the
Sake of His Beer.

Among the many escapades ashore
there is one that canoniZed Connolly
a martyr.
Doing garrison duty in the yard, a
consuming thirst drove a gang of us
out in search of beer, since water was
deadly, and as we were scurrying back
with our prize, under the first dark
ness of the night, an officer discovered
us and called, Hiatt" Too well we
knew what the obeying of that order
would bring US, and, realizing that we
were not to be recognized, took to
our legs. To our astonishment the
valiant officer fired two shots after us.
One of them hit Connolly in the leg,
and that's what made him a martyr
1t was a nasty wound. His shipmates
dressed it and antiseptically bandaged
1t. They performed all of his tasks
that 1t is possible for one man to do
for another, and although at times
the fellow suffered intensely, he was
always at muster, and never with a
telltale limp.
The other side of the page is this
The officer who fired at us followed
far enough to find trail of blood on
the cement pavement. Then, going
out to the ship he warned them in
the sick-bay and dispensary to look

ably he felt valorous until Admiral

Instances of Animal sagac,ty.

One of the most remarkable in.
stances of animal sagacity that ever
came to light in this section is re-
lated by engineer James Parrott and
conductor Frank King.
When the southbound passenger
train was near Hallsburg a mare sud.
denly dashed up the track right
toward the train, running swiftly.
1t looked as If she would run right
into the engine, and the air brakes
were quickly applied, slowing the
train down to six or seven miles an
hour. Engineer Parrot thought the
mare was blinded by the headlight,
but the train was no sooner slowed
down than the mare turned about and
went from the train, keeping right
down the tracks and making it i'm.
possible to run fast lest the animal
be struck.
The mare went straight TO a bridge
over creek, and when within a short
distance of the bridge of the railway
II was discovered that the colt OF the
mare had fallen with all of its feet
through the bridge, placing 1t where
Il would have been killed had not the
mare literally tagged the train. The
mare stopped and began whinnying,
and the train stopped also. Engineer
Parrott, the fireman and some OF the
passengers got OFF and, relieving the
colt, left the mare to trot off with her
young as proud as peacock. Those
who witnessed the occurrence say II
was wonderful. Houston Chronicle.

God Watches. Us lovingly.

The thought of Gods eye upon us
IS usually looked upon as a thought
to strain and bride us in the hour Of
temptation and carelessness; and so
IL is But with our selfish love Of
forbidden things we miss what is
meant not merely to restrain us, but
to be the greatest and most unfailing
OF our comforts The thought that
God sees us always is His great en-
couragement and help to His children

OF a judge and ruler only, but of a
shepherd and father, the lover of the
souls of men, these poor souls of ours
and of our brethren, not sparing even
His own Son for them. We are being
watched by an eye of tenderness and
sympathy deeper and truer than even
that OF any man on earth for his SUI
