After long deliberation the commit

action of President Wilson, contained
the following clauses:
THE Lake Mohonk conference on in
ternational arbitration, although meet
ing this year in circumstances that
tend to discourage the hopes enter
tanned by many as to the maintenance
of general peace, particularly among
the larger and more powerful nations

was founded. The present war daily
furnishes convincing proof Of the su-

sort to violence.

Well, they tell me, these visiting poll

throughout this region the conviction is
increasing that the republican party will
have to be returned to power and big re-
publican gains are anticipated
As near as | can Judge from the talk
of these men the support given President
Wilson for his note to Germany does not
mean that the democratic party is thereby
upheld. The President was indorsed be-
cause he stands as the representative Of
the nation on an affair of international
honor. When II comes to deciding our

"No ConqrStuIations."

When Otto Edward Leopold von Bismarck Schoenhausen was born the embarrassed parents wrote to their friends: Kindly dispense with con- gratulations." Why? The event hap pened in Germany, where All Fools day was still significant. But Bis' marck was born to take the sting out of Der Tag On one thing, however, he remained fool nearly his whole life long-his idolatry of beer. His reply to those opposed to him in this mat ter would probably have been to pro- duce huge silver jug and fill 1t with Bavarian beer. "That is the head" he would say, "of Field Marshal Derf' finger, conqueror of the Swedes, and one of my ancestors" This Derfilinger, when a boy, was apprenticed to 8 tailtx. His master sent him for a jug of beer. On his way back he drank up the beer, and in terror en- listed-"with much advantage to the Fatherland," as Bismarck pointed out. But beer proved Bismarck's un' doing, and he had to abandon the hab' 1t by medical advice.

Importance of Work.

A negative life is a wicked life Someone has said mo angel ever ap- peared to a man who was not at work" You cannot make man good by keeping him idle. "I must be about my Fathers business,'' said Christ in the temple. That is the gospel of ev- cry man who is loyal to his own soul, Is the comment of the Ohio State Journal. There is no excuse for idle ness. Work, like virtue, religion, faith. Is from within. The impulse toward the right is what keeps man at work. and if he is not at work he lacks the impulse. His religion is too weak to exert itself. A positive life is the only true life. Nor is mere altruism the only form of work. It is as much mans duty to help himself as 1t is to help others. so that help Is upbuilding, which IS the very condition of ones being benefit to others. A man who loves roses, sunsets. stars, creeks, trees, birds, is a friend of humanity. Loving Gods beautiful world includes man, or it is false love. Not to love these creations of goodness and grace denotes negative life that is positively wicked.

Opportunities.

In our individual life there come opportunities, which we may miss be- cause we have such false standards by which we judge things. We wait for the great event and for the great oc' casion. and We call that great which makes big splash in the world. Or. when the trial comes we shrink from it through false. modesty, saying to ourselves that some other more worthy instrument should be chosen. If our general attitude were right, we would see the meaning of all that is called opportunity. We are not alive to the gracious possibilities of the unregard' ed chances of every day. We need more solemn sense of responsibility. a more serious view of the ever-con- stant junctures that occur.-Hugh Black.

During the Dayton flood good old "lady of color" was rescued with two white women from the deep water and put on the roof of barn for safety. After the boatman had rowed away the white women both offered prayer for their future safety, but the colored woman sat by in stolid silence. One of the white women, turning to her, said: Pray, woman, pray. Do some- thing to help." The old woman clasped her hands, knelt on the roof. rolled her eyes upward, and said: "Deah Lawd, yo' once promised us long time ago dat dey nevah would be no mo- floods.
