Gallon. who faints from fright
How can we believe in a god whom
we cannot see?" they cried.
Il believe, though I do not see nor
feel" he told them. But they we're
not satisfied and menaced him with
death.
So he took metals and fire and made
an image of his god and made a shrine
for It and set the image in the shrine.
where all might see and worship.
And the people prayed to this new
god and laid offerings at his feet and
looked INTO his eyes and called upon
him to save them. as his prophet haG
said he was able.
Thus, with the folk believing on the
god of his vision, the prophet prayed
also to the spirit Of the deity, and the
rains came from the hills, and the riv-
er rose, and the earth grew green.
When they had been saved and their
stomachs were full the people went
away and left the prophet alone with
his god and his deserted shrine.
Yet always in time of trouble and
stress they remembered the god who
had saved them and returned to his
worship, so that in season other proph-
cts of him arose and erected a temple
and taught the people to bring offer
ings at all times.
Thus the image became the image Of
the tutelary deity OF the city and its
river with other images to do him
homage and obey his commands.
Centuries passed, and the god still
maintained his place. His priesthood
prospered: his temple was never empty.
And one day a drunken sailor wan
dered into the temple TO stare at the
heathen wonders. and when he slipped
away the niche OF the god was vacant
He has gone on journey" said the
terrified priests and concealed the theft.
But the high priest sent several Of his
chosen scolytes throughout the world
to seek for and recover the image.
How shall we find himT they asked.
"By a path Of death and destruc-
ton" was the answer.
So they set out and found the sailor
who had stolen it dead in a lane with
q knife between his shoulders. And
his murderer they discovered in a Chi
nese seaport gaping horribly at the
sky, with a rope twisted tightly about
his neck.
So the image passed from hand to
hand, always bringing with It death,
until some sailor hid It in his chest,
and when he had been washed over
side in a storm and his effects were
distributed a captain bought the idol
for a curio.
It was in his chest that Thomas Gal.
lon had found 1t when seeking a safe
place to hide his precious papers In
time of mutiny and fire.
Now. at last. 1t had fallen into the
hands Of one OF the seekers. and he
took It TO his little tenement room and
prayed 10 it and swore that he would
return it to its proper place in the tenn
pie.

he left Immediately without uncov-
ering his plans. He knew that the
final victory would not be won until
he could fill Jean Darnells soft and
avaricious palms with glittering gold,
heaps of gold, gold that ran over, that
spilled in luxuriant streams over her
ciutching fingers; gold that rang under
her feet, that mounted like an envel-
oping food about her till her flesh was
bathed in 1t.
That night he paced the floor of his
room, dreaming Of gold and Of blood.
So the next morning when John Dorr
Jared forth on his quest for the rug
peddler Harry Wilkerson was not far
behind him, watching his every move,
studying him, trying to read what was
In his mind. And all with the great
question before him:
Had John Dorr the idol?
While these two were seeking for
the strange image of an unknown god
there was a third who had found in it
the goal Of his lifes toll
When God conceals himself from us
IN time Of stress and agony, when he
has closed his brazen heavens and our
prayers die in the empty air it is hu-
man to build for ourselves a tangible
God, one whom we can see and feel,
into whose face we can look and be
fore whose feet we can lay our offer
ings and our petitions.
In a far city in India men had died
Of famine. The earth had turned to
iron under their plows and the heavens
to brass above them.
They had implored a hundred gods
for help and made offerings at a thou
sand shrines. There had been no re-
sponse. The smoke of the burning
CHATS by the side of the shrunken riv-
er told the sorry tale OF prayer unan-
swered.
And in their last misery men turned.
as men will, to one who dreamed. Re
ality was death. Dreams held out the
promise of life.
And this dreamer, as do all who fol
low a vision. made his dream into a
god.
People listened to his tale of a deity
who was merciful to listen and power.
ful to save They fed on the dream
er's words and called him a prophet.
Yet still the earth refused food, and
the river shrank within its bed. Then
they went to the prophet and called on
him to save them and to call his god
30 their aid
Like many prophets, he found him
self forced TO materiallze his dream in
order that the common folk might see
and believe, for he had taught them
that unless they believed there was no
salvation

Richmond A. A. Shut Out
Barre A. C. in Inter-
esting Game
PITCHER
STRONG IN pINCHES
Tomasi Also Pitched a Good
Game for the Home
Team

Late yesterday afternoon at the Gran
lite City trottng park the Barre Athletic
club were defeated at baseball by the
Richmond Athletic association of Rich
mond by score OF 3 to 0. 1t was not
until the seventh inning that the visit
ors were able to score at all and then
they sent in their first two runs. Both
the pitchers were working with good ef-
feet during the first of the game but
both weakened toward the end A crowd
numbering about 800 We're present to
witness the defeat of the Barre boys
With the score to 0, and the home
team up for the last time for chance
to win, the interest was really very high
ly pitched. Johnston was the first man
up, and he secured pass on balls, To
mast hit safely, sending him down to
second. Smith negotiated for pass on
balls. The bases were filed and a hit
was wanted in the worst way. With
Gallagher walking two men and allow
ing one hit and not a single man down
the chances looked good. But alas, Mar
chest and G. Fowlie both up and famed
Pratt, who had the game left to him,
was the last hitter on the list and after
fouling several times he followed the
example set by the two batters before
him and struck out.
Through the game Gallagher pitched
ball and although he walked
several men they could not steal or in
any way manage to get around the bases. |
His delivery being from his left hand, it |
fooled the first two runners that were |
able to get on bases. Jones got first |
1n an error in the first inning, He got |
100 far off and that was not a great way |
,ither. A snappy throw caught him and
nc was easily tagged out between first
md second. In the same way Pratt was
,aught in the third inning and this time
Gallagher himself tagged him out Only
hree hits were made against the Rich
nond pitcher and these were all easy
ingles. Seventeen strikeouts is not
,ad showing along with the rest.
His opposing man, who was Tomssi,
vas very strong in the early stages OF
he game. all his victims being retired in
,ood order up TO the seventh inning. In
his part of the play little hard luck
more than good baseball was responsible
or the scores at this time.

BRITISH GOVT. NOT
TO GEORGE LABOR
Long So Declares In Introducing Regis
tration Bill in Observation-Disclosures
Designed to Index Labor Resources.

Lonodn. June 30.-Walter Hume Long,
president of the local government board,
yesterday introduced in the House of
Commons bill for the compilation of a
national register, the object of which,
he explained, was not to coerce labor, but
to secure complete information regard
ing the resources of the country and to
enable them to be satisfactorily organ
lied. The measure seeks to classify all
persons below the age of 90 and to as
certain the present occupation and direc-
ton wherein service can be rendered by
each.
Introducing the bill, Mr.. Long said in
Justification for national legislation that
it was the paramount duty of all to
bring to the help OF the state the organ
lied service of every class and commu
nifty. The measure. he said. was de-
signed to provide Che machinery which
could procure the maximum output at a
minimum cost There would be a com
pulsory registration of the people OF the
country, both male and female, between
the ages of Is and 65, and everyone
would be asked to tell his age and pres
emit employment and TO volunteer for
any special form of employment other
than that on which he actually was
engaged Mr.. Long believed that such
legislation would enable the government
10 take full advantage of the service of
everybody, to the benefit of the state.
