A VALENTINE.

Oh, little lovelest lady mine
What shall send you for your valentine?
Summer and flowers are far away;
Gloomy old Winter is king today
Buds will not blow and will not shine
What shall do for valentines
I've searched the gardens all through and through
For bud to tell of my love so true.
But buds are asleep and blossoms are dead
And the snow, beats down my poor little head
So, little loveliest lady mine,
Here is my heart for your valentine!

NATIONAL CHARACTER

Minister of Los Angeles Fellowship
SAYS Country Wants Firmer
Belief In Power of
Righteousness

Revnold e. Blight, minister of the
Los Angeles Fellowship, spoke al
blanchard hall yesterday on Amer
cas- Greatest Need" In part he SAID
"The Fourth of July is the greatest
and most significant national FESTIVAL
in the world. 1t is celebrated in ana
nv all nations The principles tor
which our fathers so successfully
fought-liberty, equality, justice, &C.
mocracy. fraternity-are the cream OF
humanity. America is looked on as the
nation of the future We are solving
social and governmental problems for
the race. We are leaders of the world
progress, and the responsibility Is ours
to lead the world Alright. we shall
do so in so far as we are true 10 the
splendid heritage bequeathed to US by
our fathers.
Europe is seething with great un-
rest. Suspicion hatred and fear are
brewing a hell's broth of agony for the
nations. Aristocracy and speclal prlVil-
ege are plunging the peoples of Europe
into a maedstrom of woe. The pro-
gressive thinkers know that the only
hope for a down-trodden humanity is
democracy, and they draw their argu-
ment. their illustration and their in
spiration from America.
'"The mission of America, as a world
power, is to keep the light of democracy
burning with increasing brightness
and its healing beams shall pierce the
night and illuminate the dark places
Of earth.
Americas greatest need is an in
sight into the principles and RESPONSE
bilities of democracy. firmer belief
in the power of righteousness and the
development of a strong moral ma
tiOnal character"

and of those who died to save it. Every
thread of the flag is bought with the
price of some patriots agony. If God
is love and cares for men, even TO the
hairs of their head, how could he create
world in which our liberty must cost
others so much? The same question
comes to you in the hour of pain. par
ticularly when you suffer because an
other has done wrong or made a mis-
take. In the twelfth of Hebrews and
in Proverbs we read Whom the Lord
loveth he chasteneth.' This chastening'
which means correction with blows IS
the gift of divine compassion. Because
God loves us he permits us to suffer.
Happiness has its ministry, but is
it not true in your life that the finest
fibers of character are developed by
some chastening faithfully borne? All
chastening seemeth grievous,' but IT
bears the fruits of righteousness. Are
you cherishing some old sorrow ana
permitting it to take the nerve out of
today's life? In the words of the
hymn, Go bury thy sorrow 1t should
have done its work in your life ana
should now be a fragrant memory.
Meet every pain, strive to overcome 1t;
there will be enough over which you
have no control without holding fast
any extra. Danish all you can, lest
pain overmaster your soul, but from
the woe you cannot help, which comes
perhaps because another sinned, learn
the divineness of vicarious suffering.

EXPLOSIVE CAUSES
FLAMES IN SEATTLE
Stock of Fireworks Set on Fire by
"Go-DeViw Jumping Back Into
Store, and Entire CoIlec-
tion Consumed

SEATTLE, July 4.-Although the
regular Independence Day celebration
is not to be held until tomorrow, ten
fires and two serious accidents resulted
from to-day's celebration. With but
one exception the blazes started by
fireworks did little damage.
A spectacular fire occurred this
afternoon in a fireworks store. The
blaze started when a "go-devil,' set
off on the sidewalk by boy, darted
into the store, setting firecrackers and
rockets on fire. In an instant the en-
tire stock was ablaze. Cannon crack
ers and bombs were exploding and
skyrockets and merry balls from Roman
candles We're bombarding the buildings
on the opposite side of the street.
So fierce was the fusillade that the
crowd which had assembled TO see the
spectacle was driven from the street.
Guests in a hotel which occupied the
upper floors of the building were
driven out, and one woman, nearly
overcome by smoke, CROPPED her way
down the stairs and dropped uncon-
scious in the street. She was sent to
a hospital.
The entire stock of fireworks and
novelties in the building was de-
strOyed.

IS FAVORED COUNTRY
Rev. j. w. Shoaff Declares Religious
Tolerance Has Been Greatest
Factor in Building of
United States

The Fourth was properly celebrated
by Trinity Methodist church, South.
Rev. ]. w. Shoaff, D. D., delivered a
sermon suitable to the occasion. He
said in part:
1.-THE words we have chosen this
morning for our consideration had pri-
mary reference to the Jewish nation,
brought up out of the house of bondage
led like a flock through the wilder
ness-and settled in Canaan. Separat-
ed from the nations of the earth, COM
pacted into a great religious national
ity which has left its impress on the
civilization of the ages, it was truly
said of Israel that God mad not dealt
so with any nation. AS we unite today
with the millions that celebrate the
birth of our great American republic,
we may truly say that God hath not
dealt so with any nation.
I'VE need scarcely remind you that
there are certain conditions and causal
elements which have conspired in no
small degree in the development of our
national life which arises before the
eyes of all nations as the expression
of the highest civilization Of the ages.
Nation Physically Favored
"There are physical conditions worthy
of note There is climate which by
its mysterious yet potent influence ac-
counts in no small degree for the racial
distinctions and typical forms Of tribal
and national life.
''TOpOgra phiCal conditions enter as
conditioning factors in the same result.
Our magnificent mountains, under
groun0cd with granite, scanned with
coal and iron and enriched with gold
and silver, our wide extended plains
and fertile valleys with their grazing
herds and waving harvests cur vast
stretch Of seaCoast, our inland lakes
and winding rivers, the heaven-or-
dained waterways of travel and traffic
have been made available in our
marvellous development
"Then again, there is the unsurpassed
fertility Of our soil which under the
blessing of God has made us one of
the greatest agricultural people of the
world.
Furthermore, we are not merely an
agricultural people, but our land is
pre-eminently a land Of commerce and
manufactures.
Advantage of Education
"Our network of railways, our trans
continental thoroughfares and our
oceans have Cpmpacted our social life
ana quickened and enlarged our COM
mercial relations with the ends of the
earth,
"Among other things worthy Of note
there is the wide opportunity for the
development Of the individual and So
ciety at large because of the attention

of liberal education which blesses us

Continued from Fare One,

ways very active on election day;
that they are generally united, and
while they have, during all this
time, been in the minority, they
have often defeated good men and
good measures. They only succeed
in doing this because all good people
are not good citizens; they neglect
their civic duty and stay at nome
or are divided.
l have found that nearly always
the corrupt political bosses, the
liquor men and their allies or the
redlight district and the gratters
are united against anyone who is
professed Christian or an honest
man that they can't cajole or scare;
and | have often found that it re-
uuired nerve and courage to stand
up against them.
Power of Press
More of our good people should
be willing to give some of their time
to their civic duties. Politics will al
ways be bad unless good men Will
do their duty, and abuse Is one OF
the strongest weapons the vice pro-
moters use to keep good men out.
And while the press often IS ana
always should be in favor of good
,
for the best interests of the people,
very often we find them on the
wrong side, and they are often sue
cessful in driving good men out OF
public life and in running their rep
utations and business.
The remedy for this is to fight
back When we find newspaper
that is protecting vice, grafters,
bribers and greedy corporations ana
is trying to sneer at all so-called
reformers we should not patronlze
1t, but help the paper that stands
for good men, good measures and
good morals.
Would Teach Patriotism
am opposed to devoting so much
of our time and money to fire.
works, parades or sports. Let us
rather make it a day to teach real
patriotism. Teach the coming gen.
erations what it cost our fore
fathers during the past 130 years
to make our country one of the
greatest nations in the worlds his
tory,
Our histories tell us about wars
and our prominent men, but our
greatest achievements have not
been gained in wars. Much of our
prosperity is due to the efforts of
the noble men and women of the
frontiers, the pioneers of the west,
our inventors, our railroad builders.
Also to the men and women who
have sacrificed their all to carry
the gospel to the mining camps,
the log huts and sod cabins of the
early settlers; to our great educat-
ors and preachers and our temper
ance workers. During our great
war of the SOS our heroes did not
all wear swords or carry muskets
or pistols.
Thank God. our country is now
united. This is no longer a divided
country, but is one country and one
flag. God bless and prosper our
whole country and its people and
may each one of US do his part to
make 1t the best in the world

NATIONAL APATHY
GREATEST DANGER

Thou hast given banner to them
that fear thee, that it may be dis
played because of the truth"
From this text and taking as his
topic THE Unconquered Banner" Pas
tor Robert J. Burdette preached in
Temple Baptist church yesterday
morning -,
days, are sometimes just little bit
apt to celebrate the dawn of human
liberty in 1776, and the birth of hu-
man freedom in the cradle of Faneuil
hall. But it is a memory more in
spring that we were not the first to
unfold the banner of freedom, but that
we reached out our hands and took the
standard from its bearer of an older
generation, which had it from its
fathers, who caught 1t from the hand
of God.
1--WE are one blood with the men of
all nations and tongues who in all
generations have loved liberty of
mind and body, freedom of conscience
and soul. Ours to catch the standard
of right and truth and freedom from
the hands Of a bearer reeling with the
faintness of the years and the wounds
of a hundred battles.
Freedom is not a mere right guar
anteed by the constitution and defend
ed by law. II is a GOd-given right to
men who are worthy of it; citizenship
in Gods republic sanctifed by suffer
ings and lives kept sacred by eternal
vigilance and hard blows, and freewill
offerings of throbbing human hearts.
Is there a free people in all this world
who haven't paid for their liberties on
the red altars of war?
War Not Ended
"The last battle for freedom has not
been fought. The multiplying Dread
naughts viii have no part in it. For
the oppressors of the common people,
in every nation on the globe, are of
their own folk. l tell you when the
banners Of religion are lowered, when
the standards of commercial integrity
are debased when business honor and
common honesty some to be considered
old fashioned, there is always danger.
When the president and board of di-
reCtOrs of one of the greatest, wealth.
lest and most influential of the great
corporations of the United States, the
sugar trust. counting its eXtravagant
profits by the millions, is not afraid
and what is Supremely worse, is not
ashamed-in it's horrible money greed
to adopt the ways of the sneak thief,
to stoop to the dirty cunning and
tricks of the common pickpocket. and
to follow the methods of the short
change swindler for two years, there
is fearful danger.
IF the people are shocked into open
revolt against such shameless tniquity,
the peril is tremendous. If the public
conscience is SC benumbed and
blunted that they accept this sort of
thing as clever business and laugh as
they submit to it, the danger is far
more terrible. For a decaying patriot
ism is national suicide"
