TEACH A LESSON IN TRUST
Christians May Learn Much from
Contemplation Of the Birds
Of the Air.

The birds teach us how to live In
reference to our future. They do the
best that they can in providing for
themselves: then they trust in God
for their tomorrow. We are hidden
not to drag tomorrow into today We
are not TO add the burden of to-mor-
row 10 the burden of today And
what Is tomorrow? Whence comes IL,
No man can tell. Tomorrow is the
next thing that we are to come upon;
but II is a riddle not to be solved.
We cannot see one day before our
selves. Our future belongs to God. II
is enwrapped with many folds. No
human hands are deft enough to take
of the folds that the mystery of to-
morrow may be read. One OF the
wisest and most beneficent provisions
which God has made for man inheres
In the fact that he cannot see and
know what lies beyond the horizon Of
to-day.
Our Imagination is winged; its tend
ency Is TO fly into the future While
We should use foresight In reference
TO our future. we are not to yield self
TO thoughts OF tomorrow that chafe.
that rasp. that devour. Such over
anxious thoughts waste our nature.
dissipate our nervous energy. and
prey upon our vital forces Such
overanxious thoughts distemper our
imagination. bring our mind into a
morbid condition and destroy com
pletely the serenity Of our soul As
the gardener seeks 10 keep weeds out
Of his garden. so should We seek TO
keep such thoughts out Of our life.
AS the way to take care OF the har-
vest is TO take the best possible care
Of the seed-time. so the way to take
care Of tomorrow Is to take the best
possible care OF to-day. God. having
shut US up within the limitations OF
to-day. says: Work well to-day. and
when tomorrow comes you will have
the strength to meet its problems
Life comes to US. not in long
stretches. but a day az a time Living
day by day is the secret OF all true
brave. triumphant living. II we live
our life according to the doctrine that
Jesus teaches. when he says. Behold
the birds OF the air" We live day by
day. Then is our life richer. our hope
brighter. our outlook fairer and heaven
seems nearer Blessed are they who
make to-day sweet with conservation
to duty. fragrant with the breath Of
Christian prayer. and holy with work
well done in their Masters name; and
then for Tomorrow trust him who
feeds the birds of the air.

SAFETY FOR MINERS
SIMPLE DEVICES THAT MIGHT eE
OF MUCH VALUE.
Recent Disaster at Cherry Hill Has
Led Writer In Eastern Journal 10
Make Suggestions for Avoid
Ing Catastrephss.


In reading the accounts OF various
rcesst coal mine disasters. It occurs
10 me that certain devices for protect
Ing life should be employed under
such conditions which. from all &C
counts. appear not to have been uul-
lzed In such eases.
The action OF the miners at Cherry
Hlii In shutting themselves up in one
OF the mine compartments. by filling
up the opening with earth and other
material. suggests the advisability of
Installing heavy asbestos curtains
like The FIRE curtains used in the
atersl. or other similar means Of cut
ting OF connection OF one part OF a
mine from another. These curtains
could be Installed In such way as to
be removed from workings that be-
come exhausted or are not used.
Another suggestion is that each sec
ton Of the mine workings be provided
with emergency telephone stations.
Telephone systems. believe, have
been Installed for business purposes

cate with the outside and afford In

dent.
The temporary lighting of workings
by electricity also afford greater
safety. and would doubtless be very
valuable in case of accident
In mines without water supplies. II
would seem feasible to keep all sec
tons Of the workings supplied with
readily available water. so that, In
case OF an accident. II the miners were

at least sufficient water would be at
hand to meet their needs.
II would seem desirable. also. to
have certain escape shafts located In
the safest parts Of the mine. in sec
tons which could quickly be cut of
in case Of FIRE or explosion. They
should be special shafts. to be used
for the escape of the men in case of
accident They could be provided with
iron ladders or hand-hoisting appa-
ratus. II necessary. and would CORE
spond somewhat to the fire escapes OF
large modern buildings.
IL would seem that devices like
these. which may be used in some OF
the more progressive mines. should be
Installed in all coal mines where any
considerable number OF men are re-
quired to work. II would be as rea-
sonable to require the installation OF
such appliances. along with those now
more generally in use. such as ven
tilating fans. etc. as 1t is to require
devices for the protection OF life in
large buildings and on the railroads.
The installation Of such appliances
should be supervised by good en-
gineers. and the devices should be in
spected and tested frequently enough
to insure their efficiency. They should
be so Installed that an explosion or a
fall Of earth will not put them out OF
commission. How extensively are
such appliances useds Can any one
answer the question -washington
