A Silent Prayer.

There is prayer for guidance,
OF thanksgiving and praise,
That ascends to the throne in silence
Without regard to days.
Hold to the hand of your father,
Extend to brother your own,
OF ways you need never bother;
You'll never be walking alone,
If you've the heart of giver
And thanks is your bounty in store,
Twill well from its source like a river
With ever widening shore.
Praise may be but kissing,
And praise life may reveal.
Praise that finds favor and blessing
Is praise that is vital and real.

Ollie Is Popular.

In the slate made out by certain bunch of
politicians, we observe that Ollie James is
named for United States senator to succeed
Judge Paynter. This is a very shrewd move on
the part of those who have delegated to them
selves the right to name the state candidates, as
Mr. James is not only very popular man but
one of decided ability However, Senator Payn-
ter has made useful member of the upper

breast of all who witnessed the scene.
1t was near the mid night hour when
their eldest son breathed his last So
unexpected and sudden did it happen
that the parents could not persuade
their hearts that their dear son, Ju-
Illus, was no more in the world of the
living.

creed. and last Friday the lifeless
corpse of the young son of seven years
waH taken to the cemetery. A post
norton examination by the attending
physician proved the fatality to be
caused by mastoid abcess.
The funeral Grafton was preached
by Rev. Gustav Steffen at the Sturm
home, whence the remains, followed
by the bestricken parents, q sister
and brother, besides long procession
of those who were near and dear &c
the deceased and the bereaved, were
taken to the Presho cemetery where q

you.
Our Day School work has been very
encouraging this year. and in face of
the open doors we are asking for one
more school as we are running far be-
yond our appropriation this year.
Surely some one will be glad to sup
port new Hai-tang school.
One of our new schools was started
in what seems very hard place as
there were very few Christians there,
and the nom Christian people could not
see why they should send their chill
dren to school when they could easily
do work amounting to five or ten cents
a day if they were at home. So at
first, only few tiny ones, who were
in the way at home were sent, but
when they went home. able to read
and tell the meaning of the strange
characters in the pretty new book,
some of the neighbors concluded to
send their little tots also. At exami
nation time there were twenty girls.
and Miss Allen, who examined the
Day schools last quarter said it was
the best day school she had seen in
China. Not long ago the teacher
wrote me that few of the older girls
whom she had been refused before
were planning to come in. These chill
dren are nearly all from nom Christian
homes and with many methods has the
little teacher beguiied them to come
to the Sunday session. where they are
taught to read hymns and to know the
story of Jesus. She wrote, too. ask
ing for Sunday School picture cards.
The children are so fond of them,
they would gladly come all week and
Sunday too, for the hope of one tiny
picture card. and then the picture
makes the Bible story go real to them.
BUT MY SUPPLY WAS JUST Elk.

NAMED as a reminder of reckless dar-
ing. AS we now moved along the feel
ing of elation slowly subsidized with
the realization of the prospective diff
culties of the return. Though the mer-
curry was still frozen and the suns
perpetual flush was lost in frigid
blue. the time was at hand in lower
ATTITUDES for the ice to break and drift
southwark.
With correct reasoning all former
expeditions had planned to return to
land and secure line of retreat by
May 1. We could not hope to do SO
until early in June. 1t seemed, there
fore. probable that the ice along the
outskirts of the polar sea would be
much disrupted and that open water,
small ice and rapid drifts would seri-
ously interfere with our return to a
sure footing on the shores Of Nansen
sound. All of this and many other
possibilities were carefully considered
before, but the conquest of the pole
was not possible without risks.
Famine and Frost.
We started earlier than all other
polar aspirants, and no time had been
lost en- route. If misfortune came to
us it could not be because of wasted
energies or unnecessary delay. In the
last days of the onward rush to sue
cess there was neither time nor oppor-
tunity to ponder over the bitters OF
subsequent remorse, but now, facing
southern skies under which We're home
and all for which we lived, the back
trail seemed indescribably long. In
cold sober thought freed of the intoX-
ication of polar enthusiasm, the diff
culties darkened in color. We now
saw that the crucial stage of the CAM
paign was not the taking of the pole.
The test Of our fitness as boreal con-
querors was to be measured by the
outcome of final battle for life
against famine and frost.
The first days, however. passed rap
idly. With fair weather and favorable
ice long marches We're made.
We aimed to return along the one
hundredth meridian. There were three
important objects to be gained by a
route somewhat west of the north
ward march. The increasing easterly
drift would thus be counterbalanced.
We hoped to get near enough to the
new lanus to explore Il part of the
coast, and wider belt would be swept
out of the unknown area.

and we were quickly carried eastward
beyond our daily drift allowances. On
April so the pedometer registered III
miles. and by our system of dead reck-
olling, which was usually correct, we
should have been at latitude $3.50,
longitude 100 The nautical observa-
tons gave latitude SS.1. longitude 7.42.
We were therefore drifting eastward

AT the same time George Emery,

willingly did a prodigious amount of

we're not again seen. The weather
changed considerably. The light cut

at shorter intervals. The clear purple

changed to light gray, and rush Of
frosty needles came over the pack for
several hours each day.
Could Brook No Delay.
The inducement to seek shelter in
cemented walls of snow and wait for
better weather was very great. But
such delay forestalled certain starva-
ton. Under fair conditions there was
barely food enough to reach land,
while even short delays might easily
jeopardize our return. We could not,
therefore. do otherwise than to force
ourselves against the wind and drift
with all possible speed, closing the eye
to unavoidable suffering
With no alternative, we tried to per-

he will advocate it in his message to
the next legislature remains to be

in other states have been narrowed
