As in a state campaign it is impossible to meet the voters personally, l wish to state to my friends in my home counties that l have now made a canvass of the state and 1 have splendid encouragement from every quarter.
 Since the withdrawal of MT. M. P. Huddleston from the race from all parts of the state has come the prediction that l will be elected. You know how hard 1 have worked in every campaign have made and this has no exception. My friends over the entire state have cer- tainly been loyal and energetic.

had sinned and gotten into dire full servitude to the Egyptians, God gave to them rest over in the land of Canaan. This was 2 second rest. But they did not keep this rest. They again diso- beyed Gods commands and sinned. The rest was disturbed and very nearly destroyed.
 Again David says but little about the Sabbath or the rest of Canaan, but speaks of the tenn pie the church. To him~ the church of God is the place of rest. Indeed through the church God is planning to give to his people rest. T was glad when they said unto me let us go into the house of the Lord. Again he says, Lord, who shall dwell in thy holy hill?" The church comes more nearly rep- resenting to us perfect rest than any other. But truly there re- maineth rest for the people of God. That rest complete is now known only known by faith. These are rude types of per- feet rest. Rest is where there is perfect symmetry and con- geniality.
 Rest is not quitting the busy
 career,
 Rest is fitting ones self to his sphere,
 'Tis the brooks motion. clear without strife,
 Fleeting to ocean after this life. 'Tis loving and serving. the highest and best; 'Tis onward unswerving, and
 this is true rest.
 Dear Rilla desired to go much luther, but her weak body be- came SO tired it could not take her, so God let her go to rest. Disappointed? Yes we are dis appointed, and Rilla thought that she was. She longed to stay to labor, but if we could only ask her now, no doubt that she would tell us that she sees it differently now.

RILLA MAYNARD BRISTOW. (An extract from sermon by
 Rev. J. ]. Galloway.

Rilla Maynard Bristow was born September 20. l895. and died March Is, 1916. Rilla leaves two sisters, Lois and Bessie, and her parents to mourn their loss. Rilla was very industrious and ambitious. She never tired helping her mother. On every hand she was trying to save her mother from so much work. She was always kind and even tempered; her mother says that Rilla never gave her any trouble in her life. She has always been a mother to her sister, Bessie. Last September she went to the state university. Her hopes and expectations were high. She would soon be able to teach school and help her mother. I do not know when have seen higher and more noble expectations and ambitions.
 But ah, none of us then knew how soon that young life was to be cut down; neither can we know why. But we by Gods grace can say. God knows best and will turn all for good to his children.
 Rilla had a host of friends; in fact all spoke well of her. While she was at the sanatorium at Bonneville, letters from many sources poured in to her. There are stacks of letters now remain ing to show how all loved her. She was one of our most respected and loved young women.
 A number of years ago. Octo- Der 9. 1903. she gave her heart to God and joined the Methodist church. She was ever faithful to her church obligations. The Epworth League and her Sunday school class were her places of activity in the church work. The church feels the loss of SC faithful a member.
 During her sickness she was ever hopeful of recovering, but always trustful. She had a strong faith and prayed without ceasing. Often she had her mother anC others to read the Bible to hel after she was too weak to reaC for herself.
 She leaves beautiful and in spring evidence that she wa. ready to go and was not afraid There remaineth therefore 2 rest-keeping of a Sabbath fol the people of God. Heb. 4:9.
 Christianity has been revealed to the world in a beautiful un folding as the blooming of a ros' and yet we see through a glass darkly. Some day it will b, face to face. The height ant length and breadth and deptl of the love of God and his pro visions for us can not be full! revealed to mortal man.

STRIKE
WOULD INFLICT
STAGGERING LOSS
Would Cut Farmers' Prices, Stop In
dustry And Face Cities With
Starvation

New York.-On one point related to
the demands of the unions of train
service employees for a heavy increase
in wages the sentiment of the general
public has been expressed in no un-
certain terms. That is on the ques-
tion Of strike.
Declarations have come from every
quarter that an interruption of trans
portation will not be tolerated by the
public, but will call forth drastic &C
ton. The enormous injury to the
country that would recIlt from a ma
tion-wide strike of train service en-
ployes is discussed by a writer in
the March National Magazine, from
which the following extract is taken:
What such a strike would mean to
the American people cannot be set
forth in mere facts and figures. 1t
can be dimly imagined by those who
realize what an intimate and vital
part railway transportation plays in
every industrial activity of the coun-
try.
There is scarcely a person in any
part of the land who would not be
Immediately affected If the millions
of busily turning wheels on our
nearly three hundred thousand miles
Of railway were to stop for a single
day. If the tie-up continued for a
week, the blow to the industry of
the country would be greater than
that caused by any panic of recent
history. To the big cities Of the coun-
try, and particularly to the cities of
the eastern seaboard it would mean
a cutting off of the food supplies that
would place the inhabitants virtually
in a state Of siege. In the case of
many food products these cities do
not carry on hand a stock sufficient
20 feed their people for more than a
week, and in the case of some, such
as milk and fresh vegetables, supplies
are replenished daily. The stoppage
Of transportation, therefore, would
mean suffering and want to these city
dwellers, and If continued for long
would threaten many Of them with
actual starvation.
To the farmers of the country a
general railroad strike would be a
catastrophe, only less serious. Cut
off from his market, the farmer could
not move his produce, and the price
of grain and other staples would be
quickly cut in two, which the market
value of more perishable articles
would disappear entirely. The great
industrial plants of the country would
soon be forced to close down follow
ing the declaration of a strike be-
cause they could not obtain supplies
needed for their operation, nor could
they ship their finished products to
market. Their plants would soon be
idle, and millions of men would be
thrown out, of work. With the in
come of practically every class of
citizens either seriously cut down or
suspended entirely, merchants would
transact little business, because there
would be few purchasers. In short,
the industrial activities of the whole
country would be virtually palsied
from the moment the railroads ceas-
ed to operate.

FOLLY IN DEMAND
FOR SHORT TRAINS
MADE BY UNIONS
Might Just AS Well Ask Country To
Return To Sailing Boats
And OK Carts

Washington, D. C-To the public
that pays every dollar of the railroad
bill (and forty-five cents of every dol
lar paid for transportation is for
wages) the leaders of the four
brotherhoods of railway employees,
who are demanding increased pay,
say: "All the railroads have to do
to meet our demands for higher
wages is to shorten their trains, move
freight more rapidly, and escape the
penalty of overtime wages
The fallacy of this statement, which
is the last-ditch argument used in
support Of the demand for increased
wages, is we'll shown in the following
editorial which appeared in the
Washington, d. c. Times OF April 19,
under the heading "A Mad Freight
Train Idea:"
Everybody in the ranks of the
general public will agree with the
railway managers that the campaign
which the railway workers are was-
ing, particularly in the west, for short
er trains, while at the same time de-
manding higher pay and fewer hours
of work, is of all possible claims the
most preposterous. Indeed, in econom-
les it is an ideal little short Of mad.
The railroads have spent hun
dreds Of millions of dollars lowering
grades, eliminating sharp curves,
ballasting rOadbeds and putting in
heavy rails, so that powerful loco
motives, larger cars, and longer trains
could be handled in one movement.
If this object had not been achieved
railway wages never could have been
advanced to the point at which they
never could have been held down
where they are today without the
whole railroad system of the United
States being made a financial wreck.
ANY child can see that it, after
the principal railroads of the coun-
try have been reconstructed to haul
the heavier tonnage in aass, you cut
every freight train in half, the cost
of operation must be increased stu
pendously, with two locomotives
where one now does, with two engi-
neers where one now does, with two
iremen where one now does, with
two conductors where one now does,
with virtually two whole train crews
where one now does, not to speak OF
minal facilities that would be needed.
This proposal is not essentially
different from urging that the world
20 back from the steamships of to-
day to the sail barks Of centuries
ago, from the railroads themselves
to the stage coaches and OK carts OF
the past. II is like suggesting that
the farmer himself drive his wagon
load Of produce In small lots day af-
ter day to the distant market OF the
city instead of loading II in bulk into
freight cars and shipping ii all at
once by rail-
