our part. No strong man asks God
to carry q burden he can carry.
1T is the strong man and woman
who pray. George Washington,
Abraham Lincoln and william Nc
Kinley prayed.
Some times we feel that our pray
ers are unanswered. When We pray
for things the wisdom of which we
are not content to pass upon II is
fortunate that our prayers are un-
answered.
There is no use In praying II you
do not take on your coat and go to
work. A prayer that does not lead
Ito work is Of httie value.
Sometimes one complains of a
break In Gods love- There is never
a break In Gods love, but there Is
such thing as breaking ourselves
against Gods love-"
Mr.. Rockefeller described how
Jesus Christ accomplished reforms by
working side by side with those he
was helping. He declared It to be
useless to try to make the world
better without understanding and
working beside the man one strives
to help.
How often you and I get on our
knees" he said, "and pray to God
when there 10 sin in the secret COM
partment of our heart. Such sin Is not
concealed from God. Even though one
may hide 1t from the world.
I'VE are hearing a great deal about
camoufiage Just now. 1t means mas
querade-making things appear what
they are not. A railroad station is SO
changed in appearance that an aviator
flying over the enemy's territory mis-
takes it for some building Of little i'm
portance. Camouhage works all right
with aviators, but 1t never works with
God.
I'VE may conceal secret sins from
the world. from our families, from our
wives, but we cannot conceal them
from God. There is no searchlight
that throws such powerful light on
the sins Of our hearts as Gods love.
Confession Of sin Is vital to successful
prayer"

tion of First 100000.

A second drsft VIII almost certain
ly follow Immediately upon the re-
classification OF the 10000 men not
called IN the first draft. according to
the view In ofhcial circles yestsrday.
The exact date has not yet been de-
cided upon, but indications were that
the call Will be made about March L
This will permit Of an additional
fifteen days over the period Of sixty
days allotted by President Wilson for
the work OF classifying the s.ooo.ooo.
On that date also, it was pointed
out, q large percentage Of the men
now In training camp VIII have gone
through the minimum Of sixteen
weeks Of intensive training. These men
will then be in q position to be sent
abroad for the finishing touches TO
their training, making room In the
sixteen cantonments FOR the tncre-
ments which would come IN under the
second draft
Although 1t has not been definitely
decided yet, according to Secretary Of
War Baker, 1t would not be surprising
II instead Of calling out the entire 50O.-
900 conscripts available under the pres
ent law, the government ordered them
to the colors in increments Of 5000
up. This would permit the realizing of
the camps gradually. as men were
drawn from them to be sent over
seas
Provost Marshal General crovder's

sending out the ''questionaires" which
will be the basis of the reclassihca-
ton Millions Of copies Of these book
lets Form 1000" have been printed
and great truck loads of them are be-
ing hauled to the railroad terminals
for shipment to the approximately
5000 boards

classification will be completely under

chairman OF the Bolsheviki conven-

He was arrested in July by the
Kerensky government, after the up
rising in Petrograd, but was re-

First, peace; but not a separate
peace; a general peace under the IA

are against a separate peace with
Germany. Why do they want
general peace? Because the war has
ruined Russia, and she cannot be
