steps and throbs In their hearts. Yet
we see Paul, bowed down under the
weight of years, bound with letters,
tortured with persecution and thrust
into prison, shouting to his fellow-dis-
ciples: "Rejoicet again / say, rejoice!"
Roman authorities could shut up his
body in prison. but they could not i'm
prison his spirit. The oppressor could
torture his body with persecution, but
he could not touch his soul. Paul
was as free as a bird and as happy
as an angel, because his Joy was oot
ed in the Lord of life and glory.
Earthly joy is short lived. 1t springs
up in the morning, and in the evening
1t is cut down. Where is the Joys

filled the soul in childhood and in

own emblem, until the arrival of the
Miletian colony from the grand city
Miletus, in Asia Minor. Their flag
vas then accepted by the Celts. and
it is generally conceded that all the
different kings and princes that after
ward reigned and warred with each
other chung to the green flag down
through the centuries of wars and
greener than ever.
During the first veal of the Chris
tian era the Irish flag was ornamented
with an ancient harp of gold. And as
many of the people remained neon
verified to Christianity, half of the sun
burst was blazoned on the flag. The
harp seems to have been heard for
the first time In Ireland during the
first year of the Christian era. 1t was
introduced by the famous Timotheus,
a celebrated musician and poet, a de-
scendant of TiE1otheus of Miletus.
The people of Ireland were thrown
into a state of such ecstacy by the
sweet strains of the harp that they
resolved to use it on the flag. And
during the first Christian year, when
the Psalms of David were being sung
with great pomp, tradition points to
the fact that the lost harp of King
David went to Ireland.
The harp became the music of all
classes, while the God of David was
generally accepted, and the Christians
soon outnumbered the Fire Worship
ers, who disappeared altogether after
two centuries. And it is hard for the
people of the present time to be-
lieve that there were ever tribes Of
Fire Worshipers in the Emerald Isle.

FOR UNIFORM GAS RATE.
Utility Commissioners Have a Dis
cussion of Public Services Plans.

. NihS
An important conference with rep.
resentatives of municipalities served
by the Public Service Gas Company
was called at the State House here by
the Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners. The invitations to this con.
ference were sent by the board to the
chief executives of 1872 municipalities,
it being the desire of the board to give
an opportunity to all to be heard on
the question of whether the present
policy of the Public Service Gas Com
pany of charging a uniform rate APP
plicable throughout the State be con-
tinued, or whether each municipality
should be considered a unit in charg-
ing for gas, and a number of separate
rates established. The conference is
an outcome of the complaint of Jersey
City, which contends that the cost of
making and distributing gas to the
people of Jersey admits, because of
its larger population, of a lower rate
than would be charged on a Statewide
basis, and that the maintenance of a
Statewide rate works an injustice to
the area where there is a concentra.
ton of population.
Statewide Contention.
On the other hand, the advocates Of
the Statewide rates contend that the
Public Service Gas Company is enjoy.
ing privileges which have not been
granted solely by the larger munich
palities, but by the many municipal
tiles it serves; that because of these
privileges it is able to distribute gas
from central points over large areas
to many cities and towns by virtue of
this is in a position to effect econ
omies, the benefits of which should
accrue to all of its customers. 1t
would seem that the only practical
way to obtain an equitable distribution
of these benefits is to insist on a rea-
sonable rate of uniform application,
and that the attempt of Jersey City to
get a special rate lower than the uni
form rate would mean an increase in
the rates to the smaller localities.
This would be analogous to an attempt
by a thickly settled section of a city
served by a gas company to obtain a
lower rate from the company than
that charged in the outlying wards
with smaller populations, the effect OF
which, the advocates of the uniform
rate claim, would be to prevent the
development of the outlying sections
of the city. The establishment OF
lower rates in larger municipalities
for service by the same company serv.
ing. a number of municipalities would
work a discrimination against smaller
municipalities and tend to retard theiJ
growth.

the number of apprentices that may
be employed in a shop, and the bill
makes this unlawful, as it prevents
