At the Methodist Church.

The text for the morning sermon
was found in Amos z g, "What seest
thou?" The subject was. "a Look
Ahead"
No two people see exactly the same
the surface, and they really do not see
anything. Seeing things is an art
which should be cultivated. AS you
look at yourself what do you see? Do
you see q spark of the divine fire that
can never be put out? Do you see an
immortal soul? Nothing has so much
influence on life as what we see
when we look into the world and what
we see in ourselves. The frame of
mind in the Individual makes vast
difference in what they see. The
trouble with most of US is that our
vision is not broad enough and some of
US cannot look over the fence in our
front yard. Those who have blessed
humanity have been men and women
of broad vision who went out into the
world to do things. We must catch
the vision before we can be of much use
il the world The vision must precede
action. If we can see the needs around
US, that is good, but if we do not see
ourselves doing some of the necessary

THE APPROACH OF A STORM.

The sun, which had been laughing
over the world, had dropped the corners
of his mouth, and was slowly being COW
cred with fieecy clouds In the south
ern sky, great, huge, black clouds
appeared. climbing above the horizon.
Inc wind was running about, increas-
ing in motion and noise as children
do when they are playing. Soon the
world was dull and gloomy and the
wind was racing at it's topmost speed.
Off in the far distance a faint rumble
was heard and as it was darker, the
, lightning was more noticeable. The
clouds had passed over the little village
In the valley and the raindrops were
falling fast. A great flash of light

Immediately by tremendous crash of
thunder! The leaves were all clinging
close to the branches of the trees and
all turned their backs to the rain. as if
they did not wish to have water

were afraid the naughty wind would
snatch them from their mother and
blow them away. The sun begun
drying his tears and began playing
peek-a-boo with the world, and he soon
came out again in his full glory.

RETIREMENT Law
Likely to Push Matter at Short
Session if Statute Is Not
Enacted Before Then.

will urge such action on Congress at

Der.
a position to known the Presidents at
titude on the question. They declare
that the inclusion of the remarkably
progressive plank dealing with the treat
ment of government employees not only
was not inserted without consulting the
President, but that the platform makers
were given to understand that the plank
embodied the Presidents views.
It is understood that several mem
bers OF Mr.. Wilson'S Cabinet from time
to time have commented upon the in
efficiency in their departments arising
from superannuation and intimated to
the President that whenever he was
ready for action. they would strongly
urge a civil service retirement system,
in their annual reports. The inclusion
of the plank in the Democratic plat
form WILL II is believed, be taken as a
signal for strong recommendations along
similar lines in their annual reports,
which will be submitted to Congress next
December, dealing with the activities of
their departments up to July, next
President May Act.
Following this, IT is believed that the
President, who already has expressed
himself in a letter to Representative
Hamill. Of New Jersey, as deeply in
terested" in the subject, will urge upon
Congress immediate action, If indeed he
does not take steps to that end before
the close of the present session.

who, II only on grounds Of efficiency.

of a civil service retirement law, yes

into a concerted movement to have their
