into the ocean of forgetfulness? Mans
life is not in the past, but in the
days to come, for our times are in
His hand.
And how many of us are waiting
for the opportunities Of the coming
year? With now many of us is 1t the
unuttered hope that tomorrow may
be free from the sins and the mis-
takes Of yesterday? l pray God that
for you it may be so. Your times are
in His hand, and let your Father
shape the new year for you; let Hin
rule it, and strive with the help of
the Spirit to walk the way Of His
commandments. "Forgetting the
things that are behind, let us press on
for the prize of the high calling in
Christ Jesus"
The passing year also must remind
US that there will come a last year for
each one of us. Perhaps this coming
year is your last. Are you therefore
ready to see the curtain rise upon
eternity? Are you now ready to hear
the midnight cry, and to enter into
the marriage supper Of the Kings

not discouraged by past failures. but
pray to God earnestly to help to fu-

prayerfully. Do not strive to carry

each day as if it were the last and

BIG GUNS FOR
THE PANAMA CANAL
Adequate Protection From
Land, Sea and Air
TRACKS TO CARRY THE GUNS
Bill Will Be Drafted BY House Body
soon-Harding's Inspection Re- !
sponsibie For Decision
To Carry Out Work.

Washington Adequate protection
for the Panama Canal from attacks
of enemies from the air, land or sea
is to be provided for in a bill soon to
be drafted by the House Committee
on Appropriations for Fortidcations
and Sea Coast Defenses. Members OF
the committee now are virtually
agreed upon plan to make the canal
impregnable.
1t has been suggested unof1cially to
those members of the House in charge
of appropriations that the canal must
be given the best Of modern defenses.
These suggestions were said to have
resulted directly from the recent in.
spection of the canals Notifications by
President-elect Harding and his party.
Plans to meet these suggestions and
at the same time adhere strictly to the
rules of economy laid down by House
leaders have been tentatively agreed
to. They involve the sending of neces-
sary ordnance, including the largest
calibered artillery pieces, to the canal
as soon as they are produced. This
ordnance includes those guns which
were authorized in 1918 for the coast
defense purposes, the first of which
are to be delivered next spring.
In addition to the canals mainland
defenses, the War Department has pro.
posed the placing of several Of the
longest range rifles on an island To-
Gated about Is miles of the Pacific en-.
trance. The committee members are
said to have agreed to this proposal
and will authorize the placement of
guns there as soon as the State De.
partment can conclude diplomatic
negotiations to that end.
The Atlantic entrance, under the
present plans, will be provided with an
elaborate system of tracks designed to
carry the heaviest railroad artillery
mounts with guns calibred to greater
distances than those used by the most
powerful dreadnaughts afoat.
Hodse members believe that the
canal thus can be made impregnable

struction and with only little addition

after the Consul. in leaving the quar-

BURGLARS DRUG
FAMILY IN MANSION
ANDSTEAL $4,000
Col. Anthony kuser Robbed Of
Jewelry in Bernardsville,
\. j., Home.

RERNARDSVlLLE n. j., Nov. l.
Expert ,thievea entered two suites in
the sl.OOO.OOO residence of Col An
thony r. I<user, Vice President of the
Public Service Corporation of New
Jersey. here early too day and obtained
jewelry valued at $4,000.
Severe headaches experienced by
five members of the family, including
Col. Kuser, gave rise to the suspicion
that the burglars administered chic
roform to all of them before setting
to work.
In the great residential building, in
addition 10 the members of the Kuser
family and guest, were a watch.nan,
two buffers and eight maids, none Of
whom heard sound during the night.
AL the doors were locked as they
had been before the family retired
last night, and no attempt had been
made to force them. Col. Kuser, who
exonerates all of his servants, believes
that the thieves gained entrance by
leader pipes, removing the screens
from one of the windows in each of
the suites, and that they left by the
same way.
The stolen iewelry was taken chief
ly from the bureau of Col. Kuser, and
from the bureau and dressing table
of John Dryden Kuser, and his wife,
Col Kusers son and daughter-in-law, W,
who occupy an apartment $50 feet
away, down a corridor, from the suite
of Col Kuser.
Capt. Striker believes the thieves
made two separate entrances by the
windows, as in order to get from
Col. Kuser's apartment to that of his
son they would have had to go
through about twenty-five doors,
some of which were locked.
