St. Andrews Church.
Rector, Rev. Thomas J. Bensley, D. D

In the quiet and silence of the days
of Lent we come to think more of God.
Dear, patient God! How He waits
and longs for us to come nearer to
Him! He can only speak to us in
silence. His voice is not heard in the
tumult. And when He speaks it is
with touch of love beyond human
understanding. 81 love you" He says
again and again; and in the face of
the love all our sinfulness and care
lessness and ignorance appear and
make US sorry; and then they are
buried by that love, and we are glad.

south from Sellersville on Friday was
destroyed by fire. The fire was caus-
ed by the breaking of the overhead
wire, short Circuit resulting when
the live wire touched the ventilator of
the cars heating system. Flying
sparks from the contact were quickly
famed into a blaze by the fierce gale
raging at the time, demolishing the
car. The flames licked up the wood
work until nothing was left but a

Steel Corporation at the semi annual

Steel Institute. In many other
branches of industry the retrograde

operations
Technically the stock market is said
TO rest on sounder foundation than
at any time since the latest wave of
dehation got under way
This is attributed to the belief that
stocks are mostly in strong hands
with substantial reduction of brokers'
loans,

The report never has been published
although the senate twice has request
ed President Wilson to transmit a copy
of it, The first request was made last
November, but no reply was received
and last week the senate adopted a
second resolution asking for the docu-
ment.
1t was said today some senators had
knowledge of the recommendation of
an Armenian mandate and that, they
had attributed the presidents silence
TO the presence of this recommendation
in. the report
Reports from Paris last October after
the mission had returned there said the
civilian and military members were
sharply divided as to the advisability
of recommending that the United States
accept a mandate for Armenia the
former supporting and the latter OPP
posing such recommendation.
Gen. Hartford has consistently refused
to discuss the missions report.
Representatives, in thic country of the
Armenian national council have re-
peatedly urged that the American gov
eminent accept a mandate over their
suffering peoples but no definite policy
has ever been announced by the ad-
ministration. Opposition to mandates

ARKANSAS, CHARGE

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March r.
Evidence that the I. w. w. is trying to
stir up race troubles in Arkansas by
distributing inflammatory literature
among the negroes of the state was
presented at the meeting of the State
Interracal commission. This commis-
sion was appointed by Gov. Brough and
consists of leading members of the two
races, whose object it is to bring about
harmony between the races in the state.
Joseph w. Booker, president of
local negro college, presented the com
mission with literature that was given
to negroes at Hope, Ark.
1t was adorned with the representation
Of blood spots and said 1.-The workers of
every race must join together. Trades
unions do not want the negro, and the
]. w. w. admits the negro TO full mem
bership"
To offset this propaganda the com
mission appointed committee of ne
groes to arrange for meetings of the
members Of their race throughout the
state
President Booker also reported that
leading negroes of the state had been
threatened with death because of their
action in signing a petition asking the
governor of Kansas to return to Ar
kansas, Robert Hill, charged with being
one of the leaders of the Elaine up
rising. The commission took steps to
arrange for special protection for the
