A PRAYER.

Alone upon "A hill | stand,
Overlooking No Mans Land;
In nights black skies, like Northern lights
Pale flashes rise to mark the heights,
Where death dark angel bears away,
The souls Of men who have died today.
Jesus Of Nazareth, from thy cross,
Look down and comfort those who toss
And scream with pain and anguish dread
In No Mans Land among the dead
Have pity for the wounds they bear,
Jesus Of Nazareth, near my prayer.
On Calvary the hours dragged,
From large, cruel nails thy body sagged;
Vet in such agony, Oh Lord,
Thou did give blessed comfort toward,
One suffering SOUL who with Thee died.
He, who for sin, was crucifed.
Out here die men who die for right
Jesus, be mcrciful tonight:
Wilt thou who stills the troubled seas,
Stretch forth thy hand their pain to ease?
For many mothers son,
Whose feet have so nobly trod
Earths battlefield for humanity,
Oh, Son of God

MISSIONARY SPEAKS.
DR.. John R. Denyes Talks at Park Ave-
nue. on "Java and Javanese."


The Park Avenue M E. Church au-
ditorium was filled to capacity Sunday
evening when DR.. John R. Denyes,
traveller, missionary and explorer
spoke on "Java and the Javanese." He
has only recently returned from four
teen years service in the Malaysian
Islands and had much of interest to
disclose. DR.. Denyes did not dwell on
his personal experiences which entitle
him to a prominent position in the
annals of those who have accomplished
much in missionary work in the is
lands; his talk for the most part was
illustrated with stereopticon slides on
the wonderful natural resources of
Java. He described the people and
the country and told of the fine work
which has been done by missionaries.
There are about 100000 Chinese in
Java, for the most part extremely
wealthy as they constitute the mer-
chant class, and much of the mission
airy work accomplished has been due
to the material aid which they have
lent. In the morning DR.. Denyes
spoke on "The Far Eastern Problem"

 Votes ForLonergan

Hartford, Oct 30.-Frank P. Walsh, leader of the Irish cause in Ameri- ca, and chairman of the envoys from the Philadelphia convention of the Irish Race league, to present the cause of Ireland to the Versailles con- ference, and one of the most ener- getic labor leaders in the country, heartily endorsed the candidacy of Congressman Augustine Lonergan for the United States Senate, in a tele- Hartford. The latter invited - MT. speak.
 His telegram, one of the most forceful endorsements the congress- man has had, follows:
 "I regret exceedingly that matters of inapera tive necessity prevent my taking part in the campaign for the election of Augustine Lonergan. In the heated discussion of international questions and world policies, we ought not to lose sight of the imme- diate welfare of our own country, and the pressing character of the omestic issues upon which very lit tie stress is now being laid, but which will loom so big.
 50 far as the every day well being g of our people is concerned for the next four years, in common with countless thousands of our fellow ci- tizens who do not live in the State of Connecticut, I consider MT. Lonergan one of the outstanding progressive figures in the United States. His deep concern for the vindication of the
