whittier we so, to search our hearts
and mind that We may ascertain what
our purposes may be, to ask for en-
lightenment and to pray for under
standing and humility.
Come We apart and rest awhile
such is the invitation of the Master,
and Lent affords us opportunity 10
accept the invitation, in gratitude and
fullness of heart. In Lent and its
devotiOns the worn and the weary
may find peace and rest for their
souls, the Borrowing find solace for
their wounds, those who mourn be
comforted, the doubter and the dis,
Outraged renew faith and hope, the
Joyous realize new joys, the serene
become yet more serene, and the
devout attain to yet greater heights
OF exhaltation. BY such means Is
life made fuller, sweeter, more COM
plete and more worth while.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart
of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him. But
God hath revealed them unto us by
his spirit; for the spirit searcheth
all things, yea, the deep things of
God"
Such is a layman's conception Of
Lent.

Thomas which are published daily.
These papers get their outside news
from the West India and Panama Tel.
egraph company, which issues daily
bulletins OF information concerning
the outside world. These daily papers
differ from the American papers in the
respect that they give the outside
news In a very brief form. With a
cable rate of so cents per word be.
tween New York and St. Thomas or
st. Croix, it is not to be wondered at
that they take just as little as posi-
BILE.
The islands Of st. Thomas and st.
Croix are also provided with ample
telephone service, there being three
central offices in st. Croix and one in
st. Thomas. In the former island the
lines are operated by the local govern
ment.
If an American were to go to st.
Thomas and enter into AGRICULTURAL
labor, there is little doubt but that at
the end OF the first week he would
owe his employer money for working.
The average wage for labor of this
variety is rs cents per day. It in
cludes board and lodging and the
privilege of keeping chickens or goats,
but the element of thrift is so obvious
ly lacking from such employment at
such compensation that there is little
danger of there ever being strong COM
petition between domestic and foreign
labor in this field. AS a general thing
the natives prefer to work at the
docks whenever there is work to be
done there, for the reason that this
pays the magnificent sum of 81 per
day.
The island of st. John was at one
time very prosperous agricultural
field. The cost Of production of agri-
cultural fruits and the additions of
slavery has caused the development
Of the island to be neglected until at
the present time the raising of bay
trees is about the only industry in this
line which is thriving. The topogra-
ply of the island is prohibitive Of the
use of madern implements and this is
another discouraging element. st.
CroiX, on the other hand, Is especially
adapted to agricultural pursuits, and
at the present time there are approx
imately $4,000 acres under cultivation
on the island; $1,000 acres are devoted
to the production Of sugar cane, 1000
to cotton and 10000 to miscellaneous
products.
The people of the Danish West In
dies are for the most part mulatoes.
It is also true that the color line is
not at all sharply drawn in any of the
islands. The officials of the islands
come mostly from Denmark and repre-
sent the Danish aristocracy.
That the people in general are
mfserably poor is undeniably true.
Wages are so low that they never
can get ahead. On the sugar planta.
tions the average daily wage is 30
cents for nine hours work. Until jan
uary. 1916, this wage YVES 20 cents,
but by means of a general strike the
natives succeeded in getting the extra
Is cents. These people, as might be
supposed, are an easy-going, care-free
race. and are credulous to fault.
1 Well, We've got 'em, and now we've
got to do something with 'em. Uncle
Sam paid S25,000,O00 for the islands,
but he knew what he was buying, be-
cause he took pains to find out some
thing about them through the medium
] of the special agents of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce.

SOPHOMORES MASSACRE
FRESHMEN IN GRIDIRON
CONTEST 24-7.
BY D. T. (Flivver) Ford.
Lincoln University. Penn,
Dec. 8, 1916.
The most interesting game of foot
ball of the season was played on
Lincoln University campus Saturday,
Dec. 8, 1916. A clean game of foot
ball that would do credit to any
of the major teams of the east was
staged between the Sophomores and
the Freshmen teams. The game
was stubbornly contested from be-
ginning to the end and only the
quick thinking of the "Sophs" saved
the game. The teams were about
equal, but from standpoint of merit
and versatile playing, the Soph's
team was the superior.
1t may interest some by knowing
that the teams of each class were
composed of boys from the Southern
states, Georgia, Alabama, Mississip-
pi. Myers, Proctor and Dewitt Ford,
both of Jackson College, Jackson,
Miss, were in the game from start
to finish. Captain Proctor made
many sensational run, after gaining
ten and twenty yards. The first
touchdown for the Sophomores was
made by big" Tom Williams, the
husky 225 FOUNDER from the Tone
Star State" Williams played end.
Now when Waters, the star quar-
terback, signaied for forward pass,
Williams rushed through the Fresh
mems line and caught the pigskin
in front of him and never stopped
running until he was under the goal.
This seemed to take the ginger" out
Qf the Freshmen ana before they
could get themselves together the
Sophomores had piled up three 9th
err tOuchdOwns.
The class spirit exhibited on each
side of the field was strong and
showed the real craftsmanship OF
our men at Lincoln University. After
the game the Sophomores had a big
dinner and at night the Sophomores
orchestra went to the gymnasium and
had a free-tOr-all hop.
We have had snow here each day
since December 18th and although it
is deep in some places, we are yet
on the alert and expect to do our
best in all things.
Perhaps you may be interested tn
