MARK

Proposals have recently been mad
looking to the granting of universal
suffrage to the negro population Of the
Danish West Indies, but no action
In the matter will be taken until q
report is received from commission
to be appointed to consider the result
OF universal suffrage among the negro
population in the southern states OF
the United States. The negroes III
the Danish West Indies largely out
number the whites and the granting O,
the vote to the black is therefore re-
garded as proposition of consider
able moment. The Danish minister
Of ftnoace, DR.. Edward Brandes, is one
of the leaders of the movement for
opening the electoral privileges to the
negro.
Alongside questions in which Amer
lea is interested is the Indignation
aroused in Denmark and the whole OF
Scandinavia as the result of the attack
by German destroyers on the British,
submarine E-13 after she stranded on
a Danish island. According to the
British official statement and reports
from Copenhagen the E-13 went
aground. The officers and crews were
busy trying to ref1oat her under orders
from the Danish naval authorities,
who had given them "a hours to &C.
compilsh the task when German de-
stroyers appeared on the scene. One
of them, after firing a torpedo, which
missed it's mark, is reported to have
opened fire with her guns, even after
the crew had abandoned the subma.

sinking in the North sea on May 26
Of the Danish steamer Betty, and an.
nounced its willingness to pay for the
loss Of the steamer. It is claimed by
Germany that the submarine com
mander failed to see the mark denot'
ing Danish nationality on the steamer
and assumed from the route the vessel
was taking that it was going to the
British as an auxiliary cruiser.

After two years Of controversy the
storthing has finally passed law for
avoiding labor conflict. A year ago
the storthing was ready to make arbi'
tration compulsory, but the social
democratic labor unions threatened te
start a national strike, and the mat
ter was dropped for the time being
Now the storthing went half way and
made negotiations compulsory. The
law also provides that strikes or lock-
out contrary to formal agreements
shall be fined from $1.35 to $3.50.
The government and many members
of the stOrthing wanted to except indi.
vidual laborers from this provision,
but they were finally beaten, so that
individuals, as well as labor unions
and employers, will be liable to fines
in case of strikes or lockouts con-
trary to contracts that are in force
It is expected that the new law will be
great help. Meanwhile the govern
ment has not given up it's plan to
have the storthing pass law making
arbitration compulsory.

The city or Sarpsborg keeps his
toric gem which is sadly ignored,
says the Sarpen. When the city was
started In the year 1916, King Saint
O1av at the same time built church
to Virgin Mary. The stone tounda-
ton of this church may still be seen.
Besides the city wall, this is the only
relic from the earliest period of the
city. Now it is expected that the relic
will be excavated and preserved in a
worth manner. The Borregsard
company, which owns the ground, is
very favorably disposed with regard
to the plan of saving the ruins It is
not certain that St. Olav built any
church besides the Virgin Mary church
at Sarpsborg.
A young girl who was walking
among the graves of the Grue ceme-
terry one evening heard y thumping
sound in a grave where 4 man had
been buried the day before Natur-
ally the girl was much frightened and
told others what she had heard. The
next morning the sheriff went to the
place. He, too, heard sound, and he
Immediately ordered the grave to be-
excavated. The body Of the dead man
was cold and rigid, and the sound
surely did not come from him. But
the cover of the coffin had been
pressed down at one corner, and this
was supposed to have caused the
weird sound.
Last year human dwelling from
the stone age was found at Nord-
aasvand, near Bergen. Parties repre-.
senting the Bergen museum have been
making Investigations at the place,
and they have made a similar find,
which has not been disturbed at later
dates. Both places will be thoroughly
excavated

AN ANCIENT ROMANCE

The book Of Ruth is the greatest
pastoral idyl in literature. 1t is found
ed on loving kindness the loving kind
ness of tho Moabitess revealed TO her
family. and the loving kindness OF
Boaz, the wealthy Israelite. TO Ruth.
his kinswoman. says the Christian Her
aid. II also contains the germ of that
great heartedness which is the center
Of the gospel of Christian love. 1t is
book that opens with tears and fam
inc. and ends with the sound OF we'd
straightforwardness of Boaz. who
showed kindness and manliness to
Ruth. a member of nation that was
Israers foe, and in that kindness
founded new house, the house of
Jesse and David. the royal line that
begat a greater than David IT was
the first mingling Of the blood OF the
Jew and Gentle. symbolic Of. the cos-
mopolitan width OF the Christian re-
ligion. It was the sign that that re-
ligion was not to he founded upon
wealth or upon social caste. but upon
the large. wholesome love Of the hu-
man heart. Boaz Is immortal among
Bible heroes for his kindness his plain,
everyday generosity, his sense Of pro-
lection and care for the lonely. unpro-
tected Moabittsh girl. his dead kins-
mans wife, who In her poverty CLEANED
Boaz gave Orders to his reapers that
they should allow her to CLEAN even
among the sheaves OF barley, and by
his larReheartedness gained wife,
and. more than that, made place
for himself in that Immortal company
who are renowned tor naught but for
being kind.

CHOICE OF TWO METHODS
BEFORE PASTORS TO-DAY
Must Decide Whether to Run Risk of
Offending or speak in Cen
eral Terms.

II is an opon question whether the
avoidance of moot questions 10y the
preacher is always credit. and
whether q few slammed pew doors and
alienated parish!oncrs Is always a re-
preach. W. incline 10 the opinion.
SAYS the Christian Register. that ;he
minister who works long and fai;h .
fully without making anybody in his
church feel uncomfortable must have
left many things unsaid which he ought
TO have said. AS we'll as have said many
things which ought not TO have hcen
said: or he must have had congre-
cation OF angels. There are several
principles OF guidance. One is to avoid
saying anything that anybody miyht
seriously differ with: another is to
speak so vaguely and tamely that no
one would think his opinions attacked :;
another is &c be insincere, conceal ones
opinions and he an accurate echo Of
the opinions of others. Against each
OF these methods there are grave OBJ
jections. The method most compli-
rentary to ones hearers and most
compatible with self-reSpect is IL trust
that every one knows that all c;Hinot
think alike. and that every one Worth
talking to will respect the man who
canhidly intrusts his convictions to
them, and that n union based on iull
right to speak Is sounder one than n
union which survives only by silence
Those who become enemies to a man
who breaches on this principle will
make II easy for him to love his enc
mics, for they Will he n credit 20 him,
lie will rather have them enemies thar
friends.

EMMANUEL.
God with u.s." ]
tBy Paul Harris Drakco

(by faub bFHRc.b
God spake 10 me in the sunset as the
day a-dying lay.
And over the hills from the eastward
crept the mantling mists OF
gray
In the sunsets radiant flashes. ere the
soft approach OF night
Turned its splendor into ashos as the
last pale rays took flight.
Standing alone by the easement, bathed
i'm the afterglow,
Into my soul slipped gladness. out OF
my heart crept woe:
AS tho twilight shadows heightened,
and the evening star low burned,
My faith in good was strengthened,
and my thoughts toward God
were turned.
The world with Its cares forgotten;
stripped OF it's doubts my soul
A sense OF infinite calmness into my
bosom stole.
Fear not am with thee always"
came n voice from out OF the
deep.
ITO the snd Of the world am with
thee; be STILL" 1t said. "and

EPISCOPAL MISSION BOARD
ANNOUNCED OUT OF DEB 7
Raising of Additional Emergency Fund
Did Not Diminish Gifts to legu-
lurly Established Causes.

The missionary authorities Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church announce
the completion OF their financial year
with $4,000 ahead of last year. and
last year was S2S.oo0 ahead of the
one before that. The total this year
is the largest sum ever received 70 be
applied TO regular work. The same
authorities announce also the raising
OF an emergency fund OF S37l.000 in
addition to the regular fund. The sum
they set out TO get was 100000. and
efforts Will be continued. the board
states. until the other $4,000 is in
hand. Practically the whole 100000
has already been secured. the state
ment says. because OF the increase OF
the 100000 mentioned
a striking feature OF the campaign.
so those authorities say. has been the
interest taken in missions by people
who had not heretofore believed in
missions. especially in foreign mis-
sions. The raising Of an additional fund
hurt the regular gifts not AT all, but
rather stimulated them. very large
sional men. heretofore not entering in
to personal Christian work. gave time
TO canvasses. On tho whole so the
members OF the board say, tho effect
upon the church has been Of more
value than the money secured.
The 100000 fund was to reimburse
reserved funds that had been drawn
upon to pay deficits Some was to he
used to cover an expected deficit this
year. owing to the war For the first
time In eight years, the Episcopal
board now finds itself free from debt.
Episcopal Church authorities profess
TO believe that financial conditions are
improved to stay. at least n-so-f far
as they affect Christian problems.
