Robert louis stevenson,s PRAYER.

Robert Louis Stevenson's last prayer
tells us how all great men live by faith
Of the life immortal. Assembling his
servants at the end of the day. In his
house In Samoa, he prayed: "Behold
us with favor. folk of many families
and nations; gathered together In the
peace of this room. Weak men and
women subsIsting under the covert of
thy patience, be patient STILL Suffer
us yet while longer. with our broken
purposes of good. with our idle en-
deavor against evil. Bless to us our ex-
traordnary mercies; IL the day come
when these must be taken, brace US to
play the man under affilctlon. Call
us up with morning faces and with
morning hearts. eager to labor, eager
to be happy, If happiness shall be our
portion, and, II the day be marked for
sorrow, strong to endure."-From a
sermon by the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight

1.-THE United States army and who has
served in that capacity in France for
some time in the Pershing stadium Is
! in Keokuk today comforting with c..
E. Durgee, the general secretary Of
the local Y M. S. A. His mission
here is to enlist physical directors for
work in foreign nations at the request
of the governments of European coun-
tries.
Mr. Brown gained fame through be
/ ing placed in charge of arrangements
!, for the inter-allied games held in
Pershing stadium near Paris. AS di-
rector of this worldwide athletic
meet he proved not only his ability as
an executive, but likewise his ability
| to determine the best in athletic tim
Der. The Americans won most of the
honors in this big demonstration of
speed and athletic skill.
Assigned by the national headquar-
tiers to find athletic directors suitable
for service in armies Of European ma
lions, Mr.. Brown is confronted with a
big task The governments of these
nations have asked for athletic d.
rectors who have had Y. M. G. A..
training to direct athletics In their
armies and also to prepare athletes of
their nations for entrance into the
Olympic games next year.
1.-The European soldiers know little
of play compared with the Americans.
There are some countries where the
children have little or no gaming in
stinct and the armies are made up
of stolid but moroseful men. The
American, trained in play FROM boy
hood to manhood, is strong and supple
in body and keen Of mind. That is
why the Americans, taken from peace
full pursuits, were turned SO quickly
into able soldiers and developed
through their work on the battle fields
into the pest soldiers in the great
war" Mr.. Brown stated today.
Mr.. Brown, before entrance into
army service, was physical director
for the Y. NJ, C. A. at Salt Lake City.
He was assigned to work with the
American troops in the Philippines be-
fore America entered the war and
then placed in charge of the work
overseas after this nation entered the
conflict.
