Like some schoolmaster, kind in being
stern,
WHO hears the children crying DER
their states
And calling, Help me, Master!" yet
Since in his silence and refusal lies
Their acknowledgment, SO God abides
Unheeding many prayers. He is not
deaf
TO any cry sent up from earnest
hearts;
1Ie hears and strengthens when He
must deny.
lie sees us weeping over life's hard
sums;
But should he give the key and dry
our tears,
What would it profit us when school
GAnd not one lesson mastered?
What a world
In famed Pandora's box were such
vast ills
AAs lies in human hearts. Should our
Voiced one by one in prayer, ascend
to God
And come back as events shaped to
our wish,
What chaos would result!
In my fierce youth
I sighed out breath enough to move
a fleet
Noicing wild prayers to heaven for
fanced booms
Which We're denied; and that denial
bends
My knee to prayers of gratitude each
day
or my maturer years. Yet from
those prayers
] rose always regirded for the strife
And conscicS of new strength. Pray
on, sat heart,
That which thou pleadest for may
not be given,
But in the lofty altitude where souls
Who supplicate Gods grace are
lifted, there
Thou shalt find help to bear thy
daily lot
Which is not elsewhere found.
Many foolish people are saying that
the present war calamity will increase
the materialism of the world and des-
troy its faith. Faith which can be
so easily destroyed is not and never
has been faith. That the old theo-
1ogy has received a body blow dur
ing the last six months is quite true.
But that does not mean the death of
religious sentiment, any more than
the skirt meant the passing of fash
ion. Fashions stay ever in the world,
while modes change. Religions re-
main ever, though creeds change.
1he religious scholars, the psychics
and the seers have long known that
this war must be.
In March, 1911, Mr.. A. Z. Sinnet
gave a lecture to large audience in
Albermarle street, London. He said
he had received message from his
Invisible Friend of such an unusual
nature that it seemed desirable to
give it wider publicity than would re-
suit from being kept in his note book.

M1OMen tsss!s nTeRe,S Us
How War Will Aid Faith
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

The following is what he related:
Kaiser Wished to Be Crowned King of
British Empire-Not After
Indemnity.
There was a thickening force
gathering on the lower astral plane
which could not fail to have terrible
efrects on the physical plane when 1t
burst. The Masters were trying to
soften it's effects. The present Ger
man plan was not to annex Holland.
but to attack Belgium. There would
ultimately be a general war, in which
Germany, including Austria and the
Turks, would be opposed to Great
Britain, Russia, France and Italy.
The German Emperor was the
center of German hostility. He had
some regard for his English kins-
men, but was the bitter enemy of
the race. Bismarck was working on
him, though he was not conscious of
this. Direct elemental influence had
accounted for some of his speeches.
His scond son-not the first, who
was weak, but the sailor-was of the
same temperament as the father. The
same elemental forces worked through
both. The Kaiser's scheme contem-
plated direct attack on the coast of
England. He was not aiming at an
indemnity, but he wanted to be
crowned King of the British Empire.
1T was decreed that at the wars
end there would be a great redis-
tribution of European territory"
Message Proves There Are Stranger
Things Than Dreamt of in
Our Philosophy.
Mr.. Sinnet is man of wide culture
and large experience, and has dur
ing the greater part of his life, been
interested in studying the profound
phases of psychical phenomena The
fact that he delivered this lecture
three years before the breaking out
of the present war should cause the
most doubling Thomas to realize the
truth of the words. There are stran-
ger things in Heaven and earth than
are dreamed of in our philosophy"
AS we'll might one doubt the eXis-
tence of a great ruling power in the
universe because human beings break
the laws of health and suffer from
typhoid fever as to doubt God be-
cause war RACES on earth.
The fever must rage until the hu-
man system rids itself of the poisons
within. The war must rage in order
that the human race may rid itself
of the last. vestige of belief in war.
War Should Proceed Until Entire
World Has Ceased to Believe
in War.
However the family of the sick man
may pray to have the fever arrested.
1T is for the good of the patient that
it should reach its height and finish
its course before it is arrested; how
ever the advocates of Peace may
pray for Peace, it is right and just
that the war should proceed until the
entire thinking world has ceased to
believe in war. Our prayers should
be directed toward the Source of
Light and Strength, and we should
ask for those qualities to enable us
to await the end. Prayer is a lad
der on which the human mind climbs
and comes in contact with great
spiritual forces. Let us pray.

Small Outfits Are
 Working at Ruby

According to William c. Harp the well known mining man who arrived in town last night from Ruby, the lower river mining camp is very quiet. Small outfits are working all over the district and all expect to take out little money but very few men are being hired by the operators, most of them preferring to do their own work.
 MT. Harp himself was working on Spruce creek during the greater part of the winter. He and his partners sank shaft 63 feet in depth and ran over 150 feet of tunnel He says that the ground where he was working would pay the own CT of the claim, but that laymen could make nothing on it.
 The Poorman district is likewise well populated by small outfits. Just before he left Ruby, Mir Harp heard of some new pay being found on a creek in the Poorman district. but the report had not been confirmed,

To Formally Open
 Canal July Fourth
BIG EVENT SCHEDULED FOR NEXT BIRTHDAY OF
 THE NATION.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April IS. The United States will cele- brate the Fourth of July this year by formally opening the Panama canal to the traffic of the world. It is announced by the government officials that President Wilson has ordered the Atlantic fleet of war vessels to pass through the canal on July Fourth, and for general Cele- bration, both at the Canal zone and other places, Commemorative of American independence and the completion of the greatest engineering feat ever undertaken in the world.
 It is understood that the his toric old battleship Oregon. which made it's famous trip around Cape Horn in the time of the Spanish-American war. will lead the Atlantic fleet through the canal. As many as possible of the crew that served on the Oregon at the time she made her memorable trip will be invited to man her at that time.
 According to present plans the President will accompany the fleet, and it is believed that he will be on the Oregon when she leads the way through the canal. The canal has been open to traffic since last summer, and this will simply be the of fiCial opening.

Cruiser Sails to
 Investigate Report

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1S.- In accordance with orders from the war department, the cruiser Ne" Orleans has sailed for Turtle Bay, on the coast of Mexico. to investl- gate the report that Japan has es- tablished a naval base at that point.
 Reports have reached the admin istration to the effect that the Jap anese government has established a naval base on the coast of Lower California, which, If true, is viola ton of the Munroe doctrine. Three years ago it was reported that q large Japanese syndicate had secur- ed a concession from the Mexican government at Magdalena bay, Low CT California, for plantation purposes, but as it was evidently private enterprise and had nothing to do with the Japanese government, the matter was not further investigated. It is felt now that perhaps the Jap anese government has been slowly getting hold in Mexico.

Exchange Adopts
 Government Scale

NEW YORK, April 1S.-The board of managers of the new York Cotton Exchange has adopted the govern ment standard types of grades of all cotton for delivery upon contracts maturing hereafter. The action means a virtual surrender of the Cotton Exchange to the government, as well as an attempt to fOrestall antagonistic legislation by congress. The grades, twenty-three in number, which have been maintained here have been the source of much criti- cism from the southern trade.
 Now that the officials of the Cot ton Exchange have conformed with the government standards the effect will be a simplifying of the methods of trading and marketing of cotton

TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS RECElV- ED YESTERDAY STATE THAT THE ICE IS OUT AT WHITE HORSE, AND THAT THE YUKON IS RISING.
TANANA SOON TO BE CLEAN
SNOW IS GONE FROM UPPER CHENA RIVER, AND ICE IS ROTTING AWAY; BRIDGE AT FAIRBANKS MAY BE SAVED THIS YEAR.

Reports received from various riy- er points assure the earliest navi- gation this year since white men settled the country. The Panama river Is already breaking up. and 1t Is declared by men who have come down 1t that within the next week or ten days the river will be free from ice.
 According to telegraphic reports received by the signal corps yester- day morning, the river is open at Whitehorse. and this is taken to mean that the weather there will open navigation across Lake Lebarge much earlier this season than form ,..y. At I.agle, the Yukon river is rising rapidly. according to re- ports from there yesterday morn ing. and this is giving assurance that it will not be long until that river is free from ice.
 The snow has gone from the vi Cinity of Circle, according to tele- graphic reports received from there yesterday, and the winter trails are all gone.
 The ice in the Cinema slough at Fairbanks is rising with the stream, " u4Cu IS ldhtu lo IIedu ludl lueI . is little ancAor ice, and that the ice for that reason is not as thick as usual.
 Men arriving in town from the upper Cinema river state that the snow is practically gone in that country, ana for that reason it Is not expected that there will be a flood in the slough at Fairbanks, unless the Tana oyerflows and swells th. stream
 On Saturday a big jam of Ice was reported to have been formed in the Panama river some distance be- low Salchaket, and this had back ed up the water and caused it to overflow. The road in that vicinity was flooded with water from the river.
 At several places in the upper riv- CT the ice is reported to have gone out and for long distances the rtv- CT is running clear.
 The fact that the ice in the Cinema slough is going so slowly has created the belief among many that 1t will rot out and that the bridge will be saved. The only fear is that heavy rains may start in the hills and swell the river before the ice rots sufficiently.
