An End.
The thought of death acts not as spur to
But frets and hampers in the path of
years,
What time he would forget and put
down fears
While hope of other life and future bliss
Begets for all the loss and ills of this
Weak resignation-Check to life strong
plan.
In place, of future hopes throne present
deeds.
And show me how an earthly heaven to
win
And teach mems hearts how JOY can
keep out sin:
How blind can see, lame walk and dumb
can sing,
Md old confusion, old disease take wing
For Christ-law holds relief for daily
needs.
Then, at thy end, pause not to ask
What them"
But brave and conScience-free give hand
to death.
And laugh light hearted with the fleeing
breath
Until no sadder song the space affords
what. Death l ask not of thee these
rewards,
Thou hadst me vanquished years forgot
ten when
Self wholly died. But now my felowmen
Have so enshrined me in their human
heart
That life and I shall still dwell not

was public property and open TO dis
cussiOn.

that the management of them was a
fault The lecturer cOntended tha

ALSO DECIDE TO QUIT WORK
Bx The limited press.

By The United Press.
BERLIN, March 1.-THE coal strike

Section of the Prussian coal fields say
that the men are obeying the order
to quit work even better than their
leaders anticipated The entire field
will be completely paralyzed within
forty-eight hours. The men, in ac-
cordance with the war plans of their
leaders, are working out their final
day to the last second. Then, after
storing their tools and appliances,
they will leave the vicinity of mines
for their homes.
The strike leaders for a week have
been impressing on their followers the
necessity of obeying the law. 1t is
pointed out that the force of police
and military on duty has been more
than doubled and that orders have
been given that in case of trouble the
union officials are to be arrested in
the expectation that, finding them
selves leaderless the men will go back
to work To avoid this, all of the
miners have been asked to keep away
from mines.
In the strike notices the leaders
point out that non-union miners lack
experience and if they are allowed to
work unmolested they will soon DEM
onstrate this. Then it is claimed the
operators will decide to grant the in
creases in wages and other demands
