Israel to the coast OF Tyre and Sidon.
There at the town of Zarephath, he
was to find new sort of providence
awaiting him.
He accosted . widow at the gate,
asking for drink and food. She confess
ed, in sorrow. that she was on her way
to gather firewood for the last meal
for her son. All she had left was q
handful OF meal and little olive oil in
a cruise.
To her establishment, this Israolite
bade her prepare the meal for him, say.
ing that II thus she fulfilled the law OF
hospitality her scanty store would not
fail until tho drought was over. And
tho barrel OF meal wasted not, neither
did the cruise OF oil fail, according to
the word Of tho Lord. which He spoke
by Elijah"
One point remains to be noted par
tioularly. It was to the man about
the Lords work that the ravens came,
and for whom the widows barrel and
cruise marvelously replentshed. Gods
care Is for those who care frst for His
kingdom. A life lived for great and
godly goals finds all the divine re-
sources pledged to It's reinforcement.
Seek We flrst the kingdom Of God and
His righteousness and all these things
shall be added unto you"

CONSERVE SUMMER EGGS.

A bulletin published by the ILLINOIS
Farmers' association advocates the

LIMITING THE BALLOT.

The New York state constitutional
convention had a stormy debate yes

ballot to citizens who are able to read

war naturally obscured the real issues
OF the proposition but nevertheless
some arguments worthy OF thougnt
were made. 80.

Another steamer carrying American
passengers has been sunk without no.
tice, and two or more American lives
have been sacrificed. On the face of
it, what is the sinking of ship? Three
years ago, the Titanic went down, and
the world was filled with horror at the
drowning of 1900 people. A few days
ago German submarine sank Brit
ish transport in the Aegean sea, with
the loss of hundreds of lives, and 1t
goes into the newspaper column along
side of the capture of Kovno, as one OF
the natural incidents of war. Here Is
the Arabic, a British ship, which has
carried supplies for the British army.
and very likely been used for troop
ship, bound out of England. Why does
that seem to us a premeditated muir
der?
The reason why Is very simple.
Those American passengers were
where they had right to be. No
sophistry can dispose of the fact that
neutrals in time of war have right to
travel between their own countries and
belligerent countries, on any ship that
accepts passengers. They do not get
that right from the consent of Ger
many or any other power that is at
war. They get it from the position OF
the United States as one of the nations
of the earth. OF course they might
avoid trouble If they travel only by
American ships, or by no ships, or if
they never leave their own country, or
if they never had been born. They are
not called on to avoid trouble for Ger
many's convenience. Live Americans
who wish to get to and from England,
are entitled to do so without any per-
mission from Germany, provided of
course that they take the risk incident
to such travel The right risk incident
to travel on the Arabic was that the
ship might suddenly be stopped by a
shell from German submarine, or by
Ia signal from her coming towers. Then
the Arabic would presumably stop, be-
cause If she attempted to escape by
her own speed, she would incur the
risk of being blown out of the water
without ceremony Allowing however,
as seems clearly the case, that the
captain of the Arabic had no notice
that there was a submarine near and
therefore could not by any possibility
attempt to run away that risk of
immediate destruction did not exist
under any system of international law
or moral law The only risk to which
the American and other passengers
and crew of the Arabic were rightfully
exposed was that the submarine would
order them off their ship without CIV

The sovereignty of sections Of our
modern life may best be symbolized by
a cap and bells. "A good time" Is the
dominant aim of millions of men and
women. Pursuit Of pleasure chiefly
engrosses them. They are friends Of
folly. They work only that they may
play. And their pleasure Is idle, empty,
frivolous and unsatisfactory. There
life which make the judicious grieve.
Nevertheless, although our agrees
sively modern young people may paint
and perfume and adorn themselves to
extreme lengths, the sober truth re-
mains that life was designed by the
Creator for the wearing of crowns, and
not of cap and bells.
Life is not as somber as the old
Puritans tried to make It; but even
more truly 1t Is not as vain and silly
and empty as many of our own day
would interpret It.
Good times cannot come out of
empty lives, any more than fresh water
can flow from empty bottles. Pleasure
Is by-product. Sought for itself 1t
Is never found. That Is why the most
5aded. wOrld-weary faces to be found
anywhere are seen on the women and
men who have tried to make pleasure
their. principal pursuit All that ever
came out Of Paris cannot conceal the
ennuj of the person who has lived for
frivolity. Only the full life overfows
in Joy. A noble purpose, worthy en-
ploy, and clean heart are universal
essentials of happiness.
Many observers, who perhaps draw
conclusions that are too general from
the superficial aspects of life, say that
ours Is a trifling time. People have
gone mad over automobiles and NOV.

and bridge whist and society" Ger.
tainly there is considerable evidence

there were never before alive at the

world so many serious, purposeful, un-

bells may attract most attention, but
the real crowns are still largely In

The international law Of the subject

The time has come to back up the in.

ordinary rights of men; but unless the

just war means war on your enemies
and not on neutrals; war on those who
can fight back, and not on helpless
men, women and children. The cases
of the Lusitania and the Arabic are
just alike in most respects, and par
