The Supreme Search Was Subject

Monday is always an "off' night in
special meetings, and yet a fine con-
gregation was present at Broadway
Baptist church last night. It ITS spir-
Il OF prayer on the part of the people
and theri concern for those who are
unconyerted, it was the hest Of the
entire revival. There were 80 re-
quests by those present COR PRAYER
for their friends and kindred. This
concern if cultivated and consistent
" acted upon will bring a ,ich bless
ing to all.
There will be meeting tonight at
.7:45.
The subject of the sermon last
night was The Supreme Search.'
The text was jeremiah 29:13. The
minister said that the most painful
fact in all human experience was the
loss of God, and the supreme seal ch
Of life is to find him. That God is
lost to so many is seen in the way
men live even in so-called Christian
lands, and much more in lands With
out the Bible.
Theminister next discussed the ma
ture of this search, saying that it is
search of the whole heart holding
back nothing of our wills, Our pur-
pose, our understanding, our afiec-
tions-all are given up TO God in
the search to know him.
The reward of this kind of search
was declared to he great. II will be
successful aye shall seek me End
find me when ye shall search for me
with all your heart God lost 10
men in this city can be found now
and here, if there is a supreme de.
sire to find him. We will know
when we find him for his Holy Spir-
il will make it clear. God does not
leave the honest hearts in the lark.
God says prove me-" The absence
of the knowledge of God in our hearts
and lives both as individuals and as
a church is a sad comment on cur
industry in religion.
4 most touching incident occurred
at the close of the meeting. A Ger
man girl whose mother is dead whose
brother has been wounded or killed
in the war, who has not heard from
her home for five months, presented
herself for membership in the church.
Her deep religious experience was
related with such sincerity and pa
thos that all eyes were moved to
tears. She was given most cordial
welcome in which many members of
other churches united.

Giraffes Destroy TeIegraphs.

A campaign is being waged against
glraffcs, which have been destroying
our telcgraphs by scratching their
necks on the WIRE says an East Afri-
can correspondent. These beautiful
creatures, which habltually feed on
the leaves of the acncla, stripping 1t OF
Its leaves as high as their long necks
and prehensllc tongues can reach, rare

The giraffe has long enjoyed special

Romance Is Spoiled.

There is "a mound of earth in st
Pnul's church. at New York, that is
ovcrgrovu with long. coarse grass and
looks like an uukcwpt unmarked
grave. Groups NJ young women from
office buildings gather in that quiet
part of the churchyurd every day at
the noon hour 10 eat their lunches.
Among these regular frcquentcrS of
the place there has been much specula-
ton as to the meaning Of this new
grave and why 10 should be So neg
leCtcd. All sorts Of romantic stories
have been woven about il by the inn
aginutivc tales Of family feudS, diSap-
pointed love and the like. Yesterday
workman wheeled a barrow up 10
this mound and began Shovcling some

for a moment and then grinned. This

"This is just a heap Of mold that we
use 20 tll up any place that caves in.
And thus a romance was spoiled.

Uses Of Feldspar.

The fcldspar qunrrics in the United
States, with the exception of those in
California, are restricted to nine of
the eastern scaboard states. Most of
the feldSpar mined in the eastern
states is Of the potash or the soda va
ricty or Il mixture of the two, and
these varieties are used in the pottery
industry because after being melted
and cooled they form glass. Field
spar of the lower. grade is used as n
binder in making emery and cOrundum
wheels, in manufacturing opalescent
glass, as a poultry grit, rs constitu-
cnt of roofing material, and for sur
facing concrete work. Small quanti'
ties of the purest grades of potash
feldspur are used in the manufacture
of artificial teeth.

AsoU1TH's ITALIAN VISIT.

Premier Asquith's visit to. Rome is not
little journey for pleasure. On the contrary, it
IS of the highest significance.
The British statesman's trip to Italy, like
that of Premier BRAND of France few weeks
ago, was given little advance publicity. 1t was,
IN fact almost as much of secret as Kitchen
er's mission to the Dardanelles and the Bal
kans Unquestionably the original Entente
Allies-Britain, France and Russia-are seek
ing closer cooperation with the fourth great
member of the new group, Italy.
Italy has never declared war on Germany,
though long ago formally and actively at war
with Germany's closest ally, Austria. There
has been disposition on the part of some of
the Allied peoples to question ltaly's whole
hearted devotion to the interests of the Entent,
and her failure to 60 to the aid of Serbia was
regarded as proof of selfish and single mo-
tive. On the other hand, the leading statesmen
Of the Allied countries have LET slip no oppor-
funity to attest their admiration of and faith
il Italy and her military achievements; and
Italy herself has protested that she is doing as
much as she can along her $40 miles of ex-
tremely mountainous front The Italian states
men and pnblicists point out also that Italy is
IIekllik hi sue cdH uO against huoIiio, anu
that she may yet have to bear the full brunt
Of Teutonic onslaught in the south, hence her
desire to conserve her energies now.
But the evident lack of entire cooperation
between the Italian government and the other
Allies led to special efforts being made by Eng
and and France to get Italy into tfull partner
ehip." This was shown when Premier BRAND,
On his visit to Rome, authorized an interview
IN which he commented:
sNy trip to Rome is not merely friendly one, but
one which should have practical and effective results
The Entente Powers have at their disposition such
energies and eral and moral resources that their
victory is assured but that victory will come all the
more quickly and certainly If their efforts are prop
erly united in COO peration. Going TO Rome to pro-
mote the activity Of the Allies. they must connde
forces and their needs, ind must coordinate those
FORCES secure victory. We snail examine not only
military but also economic and financial problems.
II was Immediately after this that Italy sew
cred all economic relations with Germany,
siened the pact agreeing to conclude no separ-
ate peace. and once more began an offensive
oD the 1sonzo front
Premier Asquith's visit to Rome is doubt
less further to cement the existing relations, to
propose new military and economic coopera-
Hon and perhaps to assure Italy that the Allies
Mil stand by her in raising new war loan.
The premier's visit to the pope likewise must
be part of the diplomatic plan. In the Allied
countries there has been disposition almost
ever since the war started to question Bene-
6ict's impartiaity, and Asquith probably
wishes by personal converse to ascertain as
much as possible of the Vatican attitude.
