SNAGS STAND IN WAY
Of RECEIVING HORSES
Yet Thoroughbreds Offered by
Belmont and Others for
Army May Be Accepted.

The announcement that August Bel
mont and other horse owners contem-
plate offering thoroughbred horses to
the United States Army as a nucleus
for breeding high-grade animals for
cavalry purposes is received in Official
quarters here with comments of graft
tude and appreciation. No horses have
yet been rendered to the government,
but the proposed offers strike a chord
close to the hearts of military experts,
as they deal with problem which has
given army officers concern for many
years.
In connection with accepting these
horses 1t is pointed out that the gov
eminent will encounter some knotty
problems. The law forbids the recep-
tion of gifts by the army, but that sit
uation probably could be met by paying
a nominal price for the animals. Here.
however. Is found another and more
serious snag, because the War Depart
ment has no appropriation with which
to buy horses for breeding purposes.
Nevertheless, it is added, a serious eff
fort will he made to clear away those
obstacles. as the patriotism which
prompts the offers is recognized and the
value of the animals to the service is
unquestioned.
The question of equipping the cav
airy arm with adequate mounts has long
been subject Of study by army ofi-
GERS In order to improve the quality
OF horses the War Department several
years ago ceased buying mounts in the
open market or by contract. and estab-
lished remount stations in various parts
of the country as an alternative.
These stations purchase young horses
and train them for military service.
The system has resulted in much i'm
provement in the grade of mounts but
IL is still far from Derfecf.
An arrangement between the War
and Agricultural departments recently
completed, which contemplated the es-
tablishment OF breeding farms. has not
received the approval of Congress.

Persecution, Prayer, Prosperity.

Elijah was no exception. Defeat meant
death for him at Carmel He followed
the victory by demanding the slaughter
of every priest Of Baal. Revenge may be
sweet to man, but God says vengeance
is mine" The destruction of idolatry did
not call for the religious persecution of
its devotees. Gods hatred of sin has
never changed His love for a. sinner. The
method and message of Jesus is against
the precept and practice of persecution by
Elijah. History proves that persecution
never pays the nation, sect or individual.
The results react against them. The
blood of the martyr is always the seed
of the church and the cause Jesus taught
the world to love your enemies and pray
for them that persecute YOU" Had Eli
jah been dominated by the Spirit of
Christ, how different would have been
this story. The secret Of the gospel s
power. is that it is not destruction but
reconstruction of men.
Elijah's prayer for rain was. longer
than his prayer for fire. His faith was
tried until his servant brought back word
after his seventh trip that the sound
heard by the prophet had manifested itself
into cloud that promised abundant rain
and prosperity to Israel The drought
was broken. Elijah. filled with false hopes,
made a record marathon race against the
chariots of Ahab to JeZreel. God had
answered his prayers. He had reioiced as
he heard the peoples cry of acceptance
The strength of idolatry had been broken.
Prosperity had returned with rain.

Purpose, Presence, Plan.

The complete rest had restored the
prophet. The change fitted him more
for the mountain message There is an
inspiration about the lofty heights but
especially Horeb, the mountain of God,
to the champions of Jehovah. Here the
people had received the law from Moses.
We're the great Iawgiver heard God
speak to him. 1t was in this sacred
solitude that God aroused Elijah by the
question:: What doest thou here? There
is a mission born with every life. The
prophet was not doing his duty. he
complained of his loneliness, the penalty
of greatness, and of the danger that
threatened. The important service that
he had performed he recalled, but the
realization of his failure to carry out
the purpose of his life he did not under
stand until he obeyed Gods command to
stand upon the mount before God. Then
came the sweeping winds. the shaking
by the earthquake and the destruction
by fire, but God was in these demon
STATIONS of power and of violence. The
stormy prophet and his methods were
revealed as God shifted the scenery of
heaven. Elijah had been looking on the
external signs: when he heard the still,
small voice he knew God was there. He
covered his face with his mantle, be-
cause in the Old Testament dispensation
if you saw God death resulted, while in
the gospel times it brings life. Standing
there in the stiffness of the evening hour
the prophet hears again the question:
what doest thou herc?' He recognizes
the presence of God in his life. This is
the source of power. The service achiev-
cd in the past was due to Gods pres
ence. He now presented to Elijah the,
plans for his future work. He con-
vinces him that he was not alone, for
7,G0o had not bowed the knee.

The Question Of Magazine Postage.


1t is to be hoped that the American
people well remember, with reference to
the proposed increase I'm the rate OF
magazine postage. that il is they. them
selves, who have to make good the enor-
nous loss annually sustained bv the
government through the unreasonable
low rate at which magazines are now
sent through the mail, and that they will
also remember that no reduction in the
ordinary rates Of postage can be made
SO long as magazines are carried at the
present rate. In Great Britain the do
nestle letter rate is the equivalent OF
= cents for four ounces, or cents
per pound. We have to pay cents
per ounce, or 81 cents per pound.
Our British friends can buy postal
orders sof the lower denominations for

rates in order that magazines may send
