American Sea Poet.

Now that John Masefleld has come
to be the poetic interpreter of life at
sea to his generation Of Britons, 1t is
interesting to see an American poet,
Lincoln Colcord, rising to be the same
for his countrymen. Beginning his
career on a vessel navigating Cape
Horn, he comes of five generations Of
seagoing Maine folk. His boyhood
was spent on a ship sailing the seven
seas, SO that now, when he comes to
write a poem on THE Vision of War;"
or when he discusses, before clubs Of
literary and civic-s. irited men, Some
of the Fallacies of American Democ-
racy," it is not a product of the ur-
ban graded school which never has
been out of sight of land who is speak
ing. Rather is it man who has seen
the world" as that phrase is most &C
curately though not popularly used

BISHOP WILLIAMS
ISSUES PASTORAL
Calls Attention of Episcopalians to
the Approach of the Lenten Sea-
son of Prayer.
ASKS PRAYERS FOR PEACE

Rt. Rev. Arthur L. Williams,
bishop of the Episcopal diocese OF
eastern Nebraska, has issued his
Lenten pastoral. calling attention of
the communicates of his church to
the observance OF Lent. The pas
toral follows:
My Dear Brethren: The church will
soon call everyone, by the solemn obser-
vance of Ash Wednesday. to the religious
duties and personal Eelf-denials Of the
forty days OF fasting and prayer.
Il call upon the clergy and laity to use
more than ordinary oonscientousness in
the discharge OF those duties and obiiga-
tons which are required. I exhort you
to draw nearer to God. and seek moro
lovingly to know His will. and of His
saving grace in sacrament and prayer.
May you by honest. searching self-ex-
animation ascertain your true spiritual
condition. Let the sermons and instruc-
tions of the clergy be such as will help
their people to resist sin. and to grow In
grace and holiness. Offer more frequently
the holy eucharist which our blessed
Lord enjoined before His betrayal and
death, saying: DO this-or offer this
in rememberances of Me- Let social
gatherings and entertainments be given
up entirely; and may those who are COM
municants of the church at least be con-
sistent with their vows, and avoid bring
ing shame and criticism upon the church.
1T is for this very purpose that Lent
is intended. The dangers that imperil
use are not imaginRry-A low standard
of Christian duty. false or imperfect
knowledge OF the faith. and indifference
