SUMNER RELIGION
Some people act as if they thought
they had no need of God in summer, or
as if He had excused them from every
duty. But this cannot be so. What
would we have thought if in the sum-
mer of 1918 our boys in the Army and
Navy had announced that they did not
hold their duty to the Nation binding in
hot weather Is duty to God any less
welghty? The Christian of steadfast
loyalty will not let his religious duties
lapse at any time of the year. Summer
is time when the service should ap-
peal to the most of US when all Gods
work is manifest and beautiful ir flower
and leaf. Think this over.
The sets of new pledge envelopes for
the year beginning September 9Th, are
now ready for distribution, and may be
obtained from the Treasurer of the
Parish, or the Rector.
August 9Th. The Feast of the Trans
figuration. The TRANSPORTATION of our
Lord was an impressive scene. AS the
Second Person of the blessed Trinity
He manifested His higher glory to eyes
that were dazed with the exceeding
brightness of the vision. It was the
revelation of His glorified humanity.
and revealed His manhood in its con-
sumation Of glory, as it forever will be
at the right hand of the Father i'll
heaven. Our Lord was accustomed to
retire from the haunts of men, even
from the companionship of His own dis
ciples, and pass long nights in prayer
among the hills of Galilee; but of these
secret and sacred communings this
story of the TRANSPORTATION gives US
our own glimpse. These nights of
prayer were nights of communion;
nights in which obscurity of sense was
cleared away, and the half-enfranchised
soul saw and commuDed with souls
wholly freed from the dimness and
darkness of the flesh, and with the
Father whom no eye of flesh has seen
or can see.
SERVICE IN ST. MARY's, TOWNSEND, DEL.
Service of evening prayer and ad-
dress will be held in st. Mary's Chapel,
Townsend, DEL, on Sunday afternoon,
August 1st. at three o'clock. The pub
lie is cordially invited.

New York Judge Denies Charge That
Poor Do Not Receive
Justice.

New York.-The assertion that the
poor man does not receive justice in
court, made recently in report Of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
ment of Teaching, was cOntradicted
by Judge Frederick e. Crane Of the
court of appeals. Speaking before the
women members Of the Kings County
Republican club, he declared that "the
chief litigation in our courts is today
conducted by the poor, or persons Of
moderate means. and at no time and
in no country have the rights and
remedies of the law been 80 easily
procured" --... =
:. "Nowhere in the world is litigation

said. "Any law office of standing can
furnish instances of litigation conduct
ed without charge for services rem

SWINGING PILLAR is FOUND
Hunters Uncover Phenomenon In
Green Mountain, Near Canon -
City, Col.

Canon City, Colo.-Gently swaying
to and fro, huge granite monolith
forming a unique natural monument
has been discovered on Green noun
tain, several miles north of this city.
It is believed to be the only Swinging
monument in the world. s'
The shaft is more than 100 feet
high, and in the course Of many years
has become free from all surrounding
earth formation, except at the base,
which is about - feet wide. In the
center, the granite column tapers OF
to width at the summit practically
the same as at the base.
Lee Hughitt, water commissioner OF
Canon City, and A. V. Hodgin, FIRE.
mont county commissioner, came
across the phenomenon recently while
on hunting trip.
They report that the entire shaft
moves. probably from two to three
feet at the apex, and the swinging is
constant under the pressure OF light
winds. The base of the shaft, they
said, rests in small hollow about
three feet in depth and the contiguous
granite formation has been entirely
disconnected.

ALASKA OFFERS PULP
Forests Could Relieve Shortage,
Says Governor Riggs.
Billions Of Feet Of Paper Wood Avail.
able for Manufacture Into
Newsprint.

Scattle.-AlaSkA wants to throw
open her millions of acres Of national
forests so that the billions Of feet of
paper wood Of the northland can help
relieve the pulp and newsprlnt famine,
Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., Of Alaska de-
clared here recently.
Governor Riggs was here on his way
from Juneau, capital OF Alaska, to
Washington, where he expected to help
press pending legislation intended to
remove restrictions and allow pulp
manufac turers to 60 into the Tongass
and Chugach reservations the north
ern territorys two great reserves.
Pulp and paper men are anxious to
90 to Alaska and establish mills as
great as these operated in British
Columbia not far south OF the Alaska
boundary line, the governor asserted.
Under the present laws the pulp max
ers cannot enter the reservations with
any certainty that they will be allowed
to stay.
Alaska's great forests stretch over
approximately $4,000 square miles, an
area nearly equal in size to the state
of Indiana, according to estimates
made by government officials.
Several hundred million feet Of good
pulp wood, including western yellow
pine, hemlock, Sitka spruce, white fir
and lodgepole pine, are on the forest
reserves alone.
The Tongass reserve, in southeast
ern Alaska, is especially adapted to
the manufacture Of pulp and paper,
forestry officials have, reported. There
is plenty Of water power, ocean hor-
bors open the year around, timber
skirting the water and weather: sim
liar to that Of the Puget sound
The governor intends to ask Wash
ington to restore the reserves to the
national domain or to open them to
the pulp industry.

was that over the confirmation of
chief of police. C. c. Chaffee being
the first alderman called upon to vote
arose and stated that in his judgment
the people of the city had demanded a
change and that he felt the bigger sem
timent of the people was along that
line and therefore he would vote no.
Alderman Hesch voted yes, Alderman
Feldman voted yes, Alderman Krogh
voted yes. Alderman Laughlin voted
no, Alderman Olsberg didn't have any
opinion so he refused to vote, Alder
man Thompson stated that he felt the
same way that Alderman Chatfee did,
but after listening to the statement
of the mayor was willing to leave 1t
to him so he voted yes and Alderman
Walker remarked that those were
his sentiments and he also voted yes
and the incident was closed.
The mayor did not make any APP
pointment last night in the matter Of

ESSAYS ON THE DRAMA.

Though perhaps we've only primi-

Though our frontal skull forma-

We shall freely make confession that
we feel no prepOssession
For domestic complications a

We can slumber quite serenely
through the drama,
That is based on inside views Of
private lives
Where the heroes, quite eschewing
the old fashioned style Of WOO

peoples wives
We are lacking in the taste for mod

That the man Of lofty thought so
often has;
We can find no relaxation from our
daily occupation
In the mad and merry miX-up
called the Jazz.
Even farces do not always give US
pleasure.
Though diverting in their dialogue
and plot.
But "a scrap. with two men in 1t.

ute,
Is dramatic art that gets US
every shot
When the villain tries TO steal the
hero's sweetheart
And the hero makes remonstrance

We can feel a pleasant lifting Of
When lady, feeling more less in

Slams him sterniy with a poker,
and. quite veXed, he tries TO
choke 'er.
We are thrilled and fascinated,
well confess.
We're no. seeking for a sermon IN
the drama,
We don't want TO be uplifted by
the stage,
What we ask is good live action
and we get real satisfaction
From scene tndt IdlFiy Setthes

IL may be, as we have said, that We
