"Life Lessons for Me From First

That to the highest doth attain
That is why loving disciples of
Christ comprehend him better than
many learned scholars. Not the crit
ical faculty, but the capacity for af-
lection. measures ones ability to know
God. The two clearest opponents Of
the character and gospel Of Jesus were
his two best friends, Paul and John.
Paul conceived an overmastering pas
sion for his Lord. John was the best
earthly friend Of Jesus, leaning on his
breast at supper. SO it has come to
pass that Christians love best the lin.
eaments of the Master as John the
Beloved has drawn them. and the
Fourth Gospel is the most thumbed
book iii the Bible.
John was made by his friendship.
The same transformation is being
wrought every day before our eyes:
men and women became glorified by
great love. There is no education
equal to that gained in the school Of
the heart. What we love shapes u.s.
If, as did the apostle, we love the
Supreme Life. then our lives likewise
become superlat1ve.
In loves school John learned how
to write five of the greatest books Of
the New Testament: and they are all
redolent of the love of God.
Despite the old proverb love is not
blind. 1t sees farthest and most clear
ly. The knowledge which our friends
have Of us is truer than that Of our
enemies. John was qualified to be
the biographer of the inner nature Of
Jesus because he loved him.
Anybody who gets as close to God
as did John the Beloved finds that his
other name is love.
Two lovers at their trysting time
were wont to read over the portion Of
Johns first letter which the Christian
Endeavorers are studying this week.
1t seemed to them as If none of the
other great passages in literature upon
love were sufficient to express and
explain their own passion for each 9th
er Throughout their courtship, and
far into married life, they we're accus.
toned to read together, Beloved, let
us love one another: for love is Of
God; and every one that loveth is be.
gotten of God, and knoweth God"
Often lower passions and impulses
are mistaken for love: certain test
in this great letter of Johns. Love
that is love, pure, divine, and eternal
will square with these standards.
There are two principal planks in
Johns platform of religion: God is
light and God is love-" Any other
conception of the divine character is
Inadequate. lecause God is light, he
cannot tolerate the darkness Of sin !;
and no one can walk in sin and keep
company with God The very nature
of the Father in Heaven requires holt
ness on the part of his friends. That
is very shallow notion Of light and
love which would make the Divine Be
ing a characterless, colorless, Imrla
hence, needless of moral conduct.
The proof that man is walking In
the light is the love he bears his
! brother. No creed substitution car

know God, there they straightway set
out in quest of all lesser knowledge.
Easayists, editors, preachers, teach
ers. sociologists, and plain, everyday
folk are discussing the question:
"What Is the matter with the life Of
today?" John gave the answer nine
teen centuries ago, when he admon-
ished his friends to "love not the
world" That Is what ails men and
women today: we love the world over
much. it's pomp and pride and parade
and possessions. We have gone MAD

peace and our joy and our power. And

fact that among the happiest persons

the present world is the blight of our
times. let us go to school to sanity

Secretary Meyer has directed that one
of the torpedoboat deStroyerS recently au-
thoriZed by Congress shall be given the

American force was in charge of Lieut..
T. v I.ansdale IT.S.N. Ensign Mona CHAN
was at the time attached tn the L. 5. S.
Philadelphia which was then at Apia
Samoa. and the following is an extract
from the official report of the occurrence
made by the commanding officer of that
yes sci:
1T is not clear when Mr. Lansdale re-
ceiyed the wound i'll his chest. 1t is in
evidence most clear that when Ensign
Monaghan discovered that Lieut.. Lans-
dale was wounded n used his best en-
deavor to convey him to the rear, and
a brave defense. but undoubtedly he fell
very shortly after joining him. and tha
hostile natives flushed with success, bore
down on our men in his vicinity. The
men were not in sufficient numbers to
hold out any longer and they We're :orced
along by fire which il was Impossible
to withstand. Ensign Monaghan died
standing. He stood steadfast by his
wounded superior and friend: one ride
sore of savages. He knew he was
doomed He could not yield. He. died in
heroic performance of duty.
Ensign Monaghan was appointed TO the
United States Naval Academy Septem-
ber 4. 1881, from the state of Washington.

Operators Issue Statement That In

NEW YORK. March 31.-The following
statement was given out today in behalf
of the anthracite coal operators:
AT the request of Mr.. Thomas L.
Lewis. who headed the committee of an
thracite mine workers at the recent con-
ference with the operators In Philadel-
phia. the operators have agreed. to con-
tinue the present agreement in force on

ferences.
''rhe communication from Mr.. Lewis

when it became known that the anthra-

next week between the operators and the
mine workers committee.
The men will remain idle tomorrow, ac-
cordng to orders from President Lewis,
day in the soft coal regions, but they will
report for work Friday as if the agree
ment was still i'm existence.
The agreement with the operators ex-
pres tonight after being in force for six
years. During that period, it is declared
the mine workers were better off as a
whole than at any period in their lives
before while there was less industrial
trouble at the mines and the business
men of the region prOspered. Aside from
the few grievances which were settled by
the conciliation board there were no COM
plants.
1t is now the. evident intention of the
coal operators to maintain the conditions
of the agreement until after the confer
ence next week. and what will happen
after that they say depends largely upon
the action of the mine workers commit
operators. it is said, will be unchanged; !;
they will offer to renew the existing
agreement and that is all.

TAFT IN THE ROLE OF JUDGE
HEARS CONTROVERSY OVER THE
LABELLING OF WHISKY.
Question That Had Been Twice
Threshed Over the Last Admins
tration Again Argued.

The long wrangle over the ques ton,
What is whisky?" decided at least twice
by President Roosevelt. broke out at the
White House again today. 1t was threshed
over time and again under the Roosevelt
administra ton. and the decision of Attor-
ney General Bonaparte was repeatedly
upheld.
The distiliers who make whisky by what
is known as the neutral spirit or rectified
process object to having their product
called an imitation or a compound They
claim theirs is just as much whisky as
that made ~ the charred oak barrel pro-
cess, which at, one time was supposed to
remove the impurities and make rectiti-
cation by redistilation unnecessary.
Participants in Argument.
Attorney General Wickersham, Secre-
tary Wilson, DIR. Harvey w. Wiley. chief
of the bureau of chemistry. DIR. Frederick
l.. Dunlap the associate chemist, and
George P. McCabe, the solicitor for the
Department of Agriculture, appeared be-
fore President Taft for what may be
termed the government side of the case.
Joseph II. Choate Maxwell Evarts and
Warwick NJ Hough appeared as attorneys
for the redistilled or rectified whisky in
terests. and f. w. Taylor of Kentucky
for the so-called straight or unrectified.
interests. He is a lawyer as we'll dis
tilier Mr.. Choate represented Canadian
whisky also.
In addition, Louis Gerstley of Philadel-
phia, Herman Celiarius of Cincinnati and
other distillers were present.
The Question at Issue.
The big question was as To when a
grain distillate ceases to be whisky and
becomes, by reason of further distiIation,
an imitation compound of it. Under
the Bonl parte construction of tho law
the whisky that has the least fusel oil
in it is called an imitation of that which
may have the most. That is what the
distillers who make three-fourths OF the
whisky used in the country object to.
After brief preliminary hearing Pres
ident Taft postponed further hearing un-
Til next Wednesday.

Hopkins was abandoned as a senatori-

deadlock, was tentatively considered for
the toga and all but agreed upon. That
man is Roy o. West. 1t is not believed
the effort will be made to elect West this

Gov Deneen slipped into Chicago just
after dusk for the conference. Represent

deadlock intact until the program to elect
West had been explained to the down
