RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
Tho Common Carriers Ask for Re.
ilef-Presldent Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to
Their Needs

iNSSSSs
The committee Of railroad execu.
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-dve Of the leading
railroad systems Of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff.
fculties now confronting the railroads
Of the country and asking for the CO
operation OF the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail:
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression Of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
Of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
Of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation Of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
confagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
ltives say In part: "By reason Of leg
islatioa and regulation by the federal
government and the Sorty-eight states
acting independently Of each other, as
well as through the action Of a strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism Is here made OF the gen.
ieral theory Of governmental regula-
ton, but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers Of ex-
!penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum Of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement Of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tinuing, said in part:
"You ask me to call the attention
Of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
I am glad to do so because ! think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world Of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings Of commissions and financing
railroads Is one Of them. The man
with the money Is a factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter-
ested party that should always be con-
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu.
ton OF our railroad problems.

The Psalm of Repentance.

Very many Christians have been en-
couraged by the Fifty-first Psalm. Its
honest acknowledgements Of sin assures
us that King David was overtaken In
some kind of fog which for months OBJ
scured his mental vision. Earth-born
clouds and feshly weaknesses arose
like great veil between his soul and
the Lord. The lesson applies to all
who have been in covenant relation
ship with God. 1t is important that
we keep close accounts with Him, and
go daily to the Throne of Heavenly
Grace to obtain mercy and find help
for future times of need

we must assume, The pro,bet Nathan
from subsequent
manifestations, that his heart was still
loyal to God and the principles of
righteousness, but somehow his flesh
had become very much alive. He had
before him the unfavOrable examples
of other kings. His relationship with
God had made him keen of intellect,
and this keenness was all the more
effective in the evil course.
A Courageous Servant of God.
David first coveted his neighbours
wife. He did not rebuke this sinful
condition of mind, but allowed it to
proceed until he stole his neighbours
wife. Her husband was in the war,
faithful servant. The emergency seem
ed to call for his death to protect the
king from shame. King Davids con-
science was surely asleep when he or
dered his general to put Uriah in an eX-
posed place in the battle field and
then to command retreat, leaving
those most exposed to be killed.
The plan carried out. 1t cost the life
Of not only the defrauded husband but
several others. We can scarcely ina
CINE how one OF King David's loyalty
to principle could have arranged such
a plan or have had any peace under
these circumstances. But Uriah was
dead; his wife was made David's wife.
and shortly their child was born.
Then appeared the Prophet Nathan
before the king. Wisely bringing his
reproOf in the form of a parable, he
told Of poor man who had but one
eve lamb and Of how wealthy neigh
Dor had defrauded him of it. King
David's sense Of justice was outraged;
and he declared that the culprit must
restore four-fold and also be put to
death. Then the Prophet, pointing to
the king, declared, '"Thou art the man"
and promptly drove home the lesson.
1t required courage; but whoever has
a message from the Lord must have
the courage to deliver it--as wisely as
possible, Of course, but faithfully.
Instantly King David's conscience
was quickened. He saw his own con-
duct from the standpoint of the Divine
Law Of righteousness, truth, kindness,
mercy. Indeed, under that Law, both
the adultery and the murder were pun
ishable by death. He instantly ac-
knowledged his sin. and prayed. fast
ed and mourned. Meantime the Proph-
ct, by Divine direction. informed him
that because of his repentance the Lord
would not cause his death nor with
draw all His loving kindnesses; but
that, nevertheless, the child of his sin
should not live and that the king him.
self would In after time suffer severe
punishments for his transgression.

Divine Government respecting those i'm

tice would be required; but to the re-
pentant soul the Lords favor would.
