The Divine Injunction.

We would pray for all who are taken
prisoners that they may be kept and
treated by captors who will remember
him who babe us love our enemies. and
may the captors treat the captives as they
themselves wish to be treated.
For those whose hearts will bleed and
whose homes will be Swallowed by the loss
Of loved ones. most merciful Father. we
would especially pour out our fervent pc
ttions. In their sorrow may they feel
that the compassionate Saviour is very
near and very dear to them. and may their
greatest comfort be in him who said. Il
am the Resurrection and the Life: be-
cause l live ye shall live also"
Grant. o Heavenly Father, AN wisdom
to our rulers and governors. that they
may wage war with the desire to effect
a speedy and a lasting peace. when those
who are now our enemies shall be again
our friends, and may this war be the last
between nations who call themselves
Christian and who are all members of the
one great family of the common Father.
We would offer a last petition for those
who in our own and other countries are
called upon to suffer hardship through
the interruption Of peaceful industry.
Grant them the grace of patience. Open
the hearts and the hands Of the stewards
of thy wealth that they may help to the
utmost of their power their less fortunate
brothers and sisters. May our nation at
this time be united family. cheerfully
bearing one another's burdens. and so full

KITCHEN SINKS.

question why kitchen sinks have been

seemed able to explain. Finally q

ing Of dishes and other sink work was
done In wooden tubs with high sides.
Such a tub when used In high sink
came up too far. so the sink was made
low. Furthermore, as running water
and fixed faucets had not long been
made, the tub had to be lifted out Of
the sink and the lower the sink the
lighter the lift

Before Thee In Shame"
From the Christian World Pulpit:


Father OF mankind. in whose hands is
the destiny of men and nations, we bow
before thee in shame and humiliation that
the passions. the follies. the blindness the
wickedness. of men should strike athwart
thy purpose that thy kingdom should come
and thy will be done In earth as in heaven.
We beseech thee in thine infinite mercy
to shorten the agony of the nations In
deadly strife. Soon may the sword be
sheathed, and may the hands tina are
lifted against each other I'm war soon clasp
each other in lasting friendship. Out of
the encircing gloom of war may thy light
shine, and may men see more clearly than
ever before that in thy peace and thine
obedience is the veal of the nations as
well as the rest of the soul.
We impore thee on behalf Of the men
in the field. of all the nations engaged In
strife. Even while they are bravely do
ing their duty to their countries may they
remember that they are Christian men
and that the honor of their religion as
well as Of their country is in their keep
ing. May those who fall in the field fall
as men whose quenchless faith Is in the
Captain of their salvation" For those
who are wounded we pray that kind hearts
and gentle and sklful hands may minis
ter to them and soon restore them to
health and strength

Break Thou the SPELL"

Walter Rauschenbusch, in prayers of
the Social Awakening:
o Lord, since first the blood of Abel
cried to thee from the ground that drank
1t this earth of thine has been defled with
the blood of man shed by his brothers
hand. and the centuries sob with the
ceaseless horror of war. Ever the pride
OF kings and the covetousness of the
strong has driven peaceful nations to
slaughter. Ever the songs of the past
and the pomp of armies have been used
to infiame the passions Of the people.
Our spirit cries out to thee In revolt
against it. and We know that our right
eous anger is answered by thy holy wrath.
Break thou the spell Of the enchant-
ments that make the nations drunk with
the lust OF battle and draw them on as
willing tools of death. Grant us a quiet
and steadfast mind when our own ma
ton clamors for vengeance or aggression.
Strengthen our sense Of justice and our
regard for the equal worth Of other peo-
pies and races. Grant to the rulers of
nations faith in the possibility of peace
through justice and grant to the common
people new and stern enthusiasm for
the cause Of peace. Bless our Soldiers
and sailors for their swift obedience and
their willingness to answer to the call of
duty. but inspire them none the less with
a hatred Of war, and may they never for
love Of private glory or advancement pro-
woke its coming. May our young men
still rejoice to die for their country with
the valor of their fathers. but teach our
age nobler methods Of matching our
strength and more effective ways of Civ
ing our life for the flag.
D thou strong Father Of all nations.
draw all thy great family together with
an increasing sense OF our common blood
and destiny. that peace may come on earth
at last and thy sun may shed its light
rejoicing ON a holy brotherhood of peoples.
