This is most favorable turn OF the

Producing no coal at home, ltaly's

French and Belgian coal fields invaded

transportation, coal has been soaring
steadily until ii was practically out of

We're slackcned. Railways have felt
the strinEcncy severely. with trains
delayed from lack of fuel. All this has
been materially improved of late.
British and French coal has been the

LONDON, June 29.-Not long ago the
Central Hall TO call for intercession on
behalf of the nation and it's defenders.
Their prayers included several forms
of petition. and every one of them
seemed TO me injurious to true re-
l!sion and harmful TO the national
spirit. l deplore them deeply, and
feel compelled to condemn them COM
pletcly.
The first of the prayers OF the
Wesleyans was for "deliverance from
our traditional sins of drunkenness and
Pride" In the abstract apart from
the central purpose of the gathering.
and as general Supplication against
two beScttinG human inlirmities. no cx-
ccpt'on but that of slandciou eYaS-
Se:aticn can be taken co tnrs pettt!"n.
But IL Is impossible 10 take it so. Of
fored on a day of special interccssion
for the nation and its defenders. it
was plainly intended 10 apply TO the
war-not as a prayer against one prin-
cipal cause OF our slackness in prose-
cutting ii. but as an effort to probe the
mystery OF the worlds suffering. and
10 account to humanity for the pur-
poses of God.
Why does God allow the war TO go
on? II He is an almighty and bench
cent providence, why does He not put
an end 10 this cruel, merciless. mean
inSless carnival of barbarity? For
what reason that is Ineligible to the
mind. and apprcciable by the heart OF
man. does He permit it that for four
awful years the right should be
wronged and the weak and innocent
should suffer intolerahle outrages at
the hands OF the strong and the guilty?
In the midst of cataclysm that is
shaking the foundations of the world
robbinG millions II mothers of their
sons. millions OF wives OF their nus
bands, and millions Of children of their
fathcrS-is God doing anything? IL
not, why not? Is IL because He does
not care?
Such is the cry, hardly daring to be-
come articulate, that has gone up from
the bleeding hearts of suffering people
all over the world. And the silent an
swcr Of hundreds OF millions CT humble
and rcvcrcnt souls, confronted by this
most dread mystery, has Dean. and will
continue to be, II do not know; l do
