 If we cant do the Christ like thing we would in front of Him, if He can't trust us in our thoughts to keep us pure an dholy, if He can't trust us to ! be truly representing Him, what l then?
 1 If we feel that we are not right if ! we pray to God He will help us. He i does things quietly and gently, and the 1 result is with God. not with us We can become better Christians by study 1 ing Jesus Christ. then when we come l to believe in Him. it will be believing l a Saviour that has saved us, and fel- l lowship and communion will be sweet. 1 Miss Bernice Underwood was in 1 charge of the musical programme and l assisted at the piano.

Washington, April 2S.-The govern frlent is preparing to relinquish con- trol next month of American cable lines and to restore the telegraph and telephone systems to private owner ship immediately after enactment by congress of laws necessary to safe guard the properties f
 PoStmasteT-Ganer Burieson, as df- recting head Of the service taken over as q war measure, announced today he had sent tea President Wilson recom- mendatfon that the cables be turned back forthwith. probably not later than May 10. AIi hour later the post master general gave cut a sta atement saying he would recommend that the telegraph and telephone service be re- turned to private owners, contingent however, upon financial protection to be obtained from congress-.
 IL vas explained by Mir. Burleson that no legislation was necessary in the case of the cable company proper ties. 1eSSening of the traffic borne by l the cables, and other circumstances arising from transition to a peace ] basis, Mr.. Burleson. said, had resulted | in his recommendation to the presi
 dent that the lines be no longer oper- ated by the government.

 ing so soon after the recommendation

out remedial legislation. Some ofli-
 cials said that while the properties must be returned in the same physi- cal condition in which they were taken over, to do this now. without ,, added revenue to meet wage demands and increased cost of operation. would wreck the entire industry. ! Officials responsible for the actual 1 mana cement of the properties under government control declined. however, to suggest exactly what sort of leg i iclation would be necessary.
 1 Taking over Of the cable systems was followed by a controversy be-
 tween the postmaster general and Clarence H. Machay, president of the Commercial Gable Company, which resulted in the dismissal of MT. Mac kay by MT Burleson.
 Further controversy involved the i Postal Telegraph Company, when off fcials of that company objected to the postmaster generals plan to analga- mate the Postal Company with tho Western Union. AS a result MT. Bur leson dismissed from government ger vice Edward Reynolds, Vice presiden
