his character were the Bible, Stake

we're often asserted In no uncertain

Much of the Spare Time of
Firemen Is Occupied in
Studying Apparatus.

TA7 ITH the most modern equip
NM ment and the latest methods
Wv of fire fighting in use, Salt
Lake has had few disastrous
fires in recent years. The heoric work
of the fire fighters in former days has
become blurred memories seldom men
toned, and the average person of to-
day forgets the city fireman unless he
sees the department making "run, -
or has fire troubles Of his own.
Such is often the fate of good and
faithful service, When everything goes
along smoothly efficiency is frequently
not appreciated and is classcd as
"luck.o But when things go wrong
it is an easy matter TO find fault.
So it is in the case of Salt Lake s
fire fighters, Their work has been
done so well that the fire losses have
been kept down to the minimum, There
has been no fault to find aud the fire
men have almost ceased to become OBJ
iects of public interest. Few persons
know that these men are on duty, sub
iect to call on a moment IS notice,
twenty-one hours and forty minutes out
of each twenty-four hours, SIN days in
the week Fewer still know anything
of the daily life Of the men around the
fire stations

Conscious of Duty.

Lincoln felt that he had a commits
sion from God TO free the slaves He
had vision OF so doing. He said. "I
know there is a God and that he
hates injustice and slavery. T see a
storm coming. I know that his hand
Is In IT, II he has a place and work
for me-and ! believe he hss-I am
ready. am nothing; but truth Is ev-
erything." He freed the slaves in full
fiilment OF a promise TO God He eaid
TO his caoinet. ~ made a solemn vow
before God that IL General Lee was
driven back from Pennsylvania
would crown the result by the decIa
ration Of freedom to tho slaves"
Lincoln fulfilled his mission at the
cost OF his life. His enemies had
been on mis- track for months before
his assassination. His tragic death
like that OF the Christ, was a fearful
closing Of a great and good life. Yet
that sudden death has but heighten cd
and steadfed his fame. Had he lived
he might have become cmbrolicd in n
controversy with congress which
would have cmbittered his life and
tarnisfaed his fame AS It is. ne rest
Of Americans
We can never appreciate to the full
his life without turning back TO the
Christ who made his life possible.
And no man can serve his genera ton
in the best fashion who does not bow.

service in the power OF Christ the

Example of Uplift.

In the life of Mr.. Lincoln We have
an example OF what a man can dc
II he chooses to exert his faculties
and develop the powers that God has
placed within him. This illustrlouS
gentleman entered the world under
the most unpromlsing circumstances.
He WAS surely a son Of poverty open
ing his eyes TO the light of day In
rude cabin, with mud floor, with
out furniture, having no picture 10
adorn It's walls and garret for
nursery. His domestic surroundings
were wretched in the extreme De-
spite the efforts of hiographers TO
color his carly days with the spirit
OF romance. the fact remains that he
was sent out upon life's sea amidst
poverty wretchedness and hardship.
Before he was years old a shad-
ow fell across his pathway from
which he never completely emerged,
That shadow was caused by the
death of his mother. who. although
from an obscure family. was herself
a noble and womanly character and
gave TO this boy the full measure of
her maternal love.
In just one brief year after the
death OF his mother his thrlftless IA

er. who proved 10 be great blessing

attentions he snon began TO get some

At It Early.

The firemen begin work early. in the
day, most too early to suit the ma

is lowering around zero. The call bell
is sounded at $3.50 each morning and

out by o'clock. The sweeping is
usually finished in from twenty to
thirty minutes and it Is then breakfast
time.
Some Of tho men take advantage of
their two hours and twenty minutes off
