ADVICE TO Pc ETS
A song for West Virginia,
Five shundred for a prize

A song Tor west Virginia,
Fiveshundred for a prize
For the canny little lyric
That shall laud her to the skies
If her poets need incentive
Here is one to stimulate
Them to MARBLE Of the glories
Of their wealthy Mountain State.
First recount her natural treasures,
Sing about her hillsides green,
! Don't omit her fertile valleys =
With their lordly streams between.
Make reference to Fort Henry,
And to schoolgirl Betty Zane,-
just to lift us up a moment
On high historic plane.
Should thrill be next in order,
Fifty years-look back so far
And behold Free State springing
Full grown from the brain of War.
Next portray future rosy
AS a glowing sunset sky
Since we will not live to see it
1t is safe to prophesy.
Then, adverting to the pleasant
Themes belonging to to-day,
List our millionaires and brokers,
Il
Lumber, RATED from our forests,
Coal, from out our thousand mines,
oil, from reservoirs more ancient
Than the Californian pines,-
Lull us sweetly with the totals,
Set them to dreamy tune
That may serve us as waltz music
At the Park on nights in June. \
~ But don't
Breathe word about the region
That is under martial law
Or they'll railroad you to Moundsvill
There to rest your reckless jaw
Though I would not
Boast too loudly the advantage
OF non-union mines and mills,
With those shots reverberating
Up in the Kanawha hills.
Since 1t seems that
Freedom, born of battle thunders,
When she finds herself at bay
Reaches for her old-time weapons
Up among the hills today.
And Mould not
While dilating on the virtues
OF our noble Mountain State,
Even whisper of the gentry
We elect to ,legislate.

About that Hidden Government

Or

To get busy at the bidding
Of this self same Government.

With the facts it might .connote-
That in 1912 We trebled

still trust in the promises made to
Abra ham will soon be recipients of
marked evidences Of Divine blessing
through Messiah who soon is to set up
Gods Kingdom.
st. Paul explains that all true Chris
tians become the Spiritual Seed Of
Abraham-heirs of certain spiritual
promises, as the natural seed are heirs
Of certain earthly promises, not yet full
filled. AS the natural seed must main
tain circumcision to mark their sep
arateness from the Gentiles, so the
Spiritual Seed must have circumcision
Of the heart separating them from the

peculiar people Jealous OF good
works."
We eXhort both Jews and Christians
to honesty and faithfulness- obedience
to God: the one class, that they may
inherit the Heavenly promises; the 9th

Gods Call to Abraham.
Abraham's birthplace was Ur one
hundred twenty miles north of the
Persian Gulf His father Ierah was Il

worshiping Of many gods. From tr'
the family migrated to llaran. about
five hundred miles in the direction 81
Palestine. There Abraham remained
until Terah's death
Gods dealings with Abraham, accord
ing to St Stephen (Acts ~, -, began
while he was in Ur. God called him
out of his evil surroundings, to lie the
founder of Il new nation, holy ANA
obedient to God The migration from
Ur to Haran took the family away
from the idolatrous scenes of the me
tropois to pastoral life. In harmony
with the Divine call Abraham, then
seventy-tlve years old, his wife Sarah.
and his nephew Lot with their tiocks
and herds. moved to Canaan after the
death of Terah.
Abraham's Great Faith In God.
Abraham was full of faith. This
feature Of his character especially en-
deared him to the Almighty, who, be
cause of it, styled him His friend. The
Bible does not claim that Abraham was
perfect. The reverse of this Is de
clared-"T is none righteous per
fectl, no, not one 0tomans 3:loJ
None measure up to the glorious im"g"
Of God represented by Adam.
Abraham was not the friend of God
because of his great education, nor for
ertheless. he had intellectual powers.
The fact that he was very rich indi-
Gates that he was good manager His
skill as leader was shown when Lot
and the wealthy Sodomites were taken
captive by Chedorlaomer Abraham
promptly armed three hundred ana
eighteen of his servants, pursued the
victors and recovered the SpoilS.
But it was not for his skill as gen
eral that God loved Abraham. The
special quality that God esteemed in
him is repeatedly mentioned In the BIZ
BILE as having been his faith. "Abra-
ham believed God"

SAYS PHILIPPINES WOULD
 BE WORSE THAN MEXICO

Washington, Feb. li.-"With- drawal of the United States from the Philippines would be an act of cowardice and folly, and would re- suit in conditions worse than now exist in Mexico" declared Repre- sentative Olmstead of Pennsylva- mia, in a speech yesterday against the Jones Philippine independence bill, which he described as "re- markable and dangerous"
 In country where the well edu- cated or directing class" consti- ute less than 2 per cent of the en- tire population he said, and where wholesale illiteracy prevails among the others, it would be inn possible to conduct a government of the people, by the people and for the people, The United States did not get a bargain in the Philip pines," he declared.
 "rhe Philippines are very rich possessions. If Germany or Japan or any other foreign nation posses sed them they would never let them go. Japan supports population of i0O00,OO0 The Philippines could as easily support i00,000,000 people"
 MT. Olmstead said he did not want to see the Philippines retained per- manently,, but argued that the Jones bill would deprive the United States immediately of practically all au- thority without relieving it of re- sponsibility.

PRESIDENT TAFT
 ADDRESSED SENATE - V-S V
Was Only President Since Wash ingtOn-SpOke at Sherman Me mOrial-Large Crowd in
 Attendance.

Washington, Feb. l6-The mem ory of the late vice president James $. sherman, was honored in Wash ington yesterday by services in the senate chamber at the capitol. Abandoning legislative work for the day, the senate and house, by spe- cial order, gave up their sessions to the memorial exercises, joined in by President Taft, the cabinet, the Su- preme court and prominent mem bers of the diplomatic corps.
 President Taft, in accepting the invitation to speak at the services for the late vice president, set aside precedents of many years respect ing the appearance of president within the senate chamber when that body is in session. But for the attendance at the quadrennial in- auguration, no other president since Washington has spoken while that body was in session.
 The house of representatives proceeded in a body to the senate chamber immediately after con- vening at 12 o'clock. The senate committee, headed by Senator Root, had arranged places on the flcOr of the chamber for the house men- bers, the cabinet, Supreme court, diplomats, army and navy officers and scores of public men.
 Former President Roosevelt, president-elect Wilson, Vice-presi- dent-elect Marshall and former Vice presidents Fairbanks, Stevenson and Morton had all been invited to par ticipate, but none was able to at tend. The speakers included Presi- dent Taft, Speaker Champ Clark and Senators Root, O'Gorman, Oliver, Gallinger, Kern, LaFollette, Williams, Curtis, Martin, Lodge, Thornton and Cummins, all of whom eulogized the public and personal virtues of the departed.
 The unusual scene of the presi- dent addressing the senate and the presence of diplomats and high of flcials in the chamber attracted hundreds to the galleries. None were admitted except by a special card and the corridors were crowd ed with those unable to gain en- trance.
