ooAL PRopUrrroN.

Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin Is inter
ested in bringing about the resumption
of coal production. He isn't taking
sides but he believes justice should be
done to all concerned and he isn't un-
mindful of the fact that some parts If
the country are bound to be hit much
worse than others by the dragging out
of the strike situation.
What the Wisconsin senator believes
should be done is for the government to
take over the mines in sufficient num-
Der to produce the coal that Is needed
in the northwest and which must be
moved before a certain date in the fall
If It is to be transported at all. He
would see that wage in keeping with
conditions was established and if sucn
does not appeal to the miners he is con-
fident that there are enough patriotic
individuals in the country to get the
coal out of the ground.
It is quite apparent that there is a
desire to avoid a shortage quite the

gency in the coal market it has been IN

That means TREY must be placed OF

Going into the arctic regions is bit
different than going out on coon hunt.
There are certain to be plenty of inter

Captain Amundsen is a thoroughly
seasoned explorer. He has Travelled
much ice and many miles in polar seas
so that there could not fail to be every
confidence in the head Of the expedition.
Amundsen is the discoverer of the south
pole so that his success in that effort
eleven years ago qualities him for the
search for the opposite axis.
But Amundsen isn't going just for tas
summer. He has provisioned his vessel
for seven years and It his plan to get Z

Men OF Prayer.
Jesus took Peter and John and James,
and went up into a mountain to pray.
Every one of the six men who met on
that mountain was eminently a man Of
prayer, and it was while Christ was
praying that His face and His garments
were changed and became shining as the
sun and white as the light. Then there
appeared and talked with Him two men
Moses and Elijah. Many of US have
seen people whose very ,countenznces
have been changed after a season OF
prayer, and their whole lives seem tc
be Transformed. We cannot be in real
communion with God without getting
more or less of that glory.
Peter and the others were heavy with
sleep; but when they were awake they
saw His glory and the two men thai
stood with Him. Sometimes we thlnA
those three disciples represent th'
church of today. They fell asleep JUS
before the glory burst upon the scene
1t seems as if we are coming near Il
the contamination Of things; that tn
glory Of the Son Of Man Is about to b
manifested and yet the bride is falling
asleep, instead of watching for tn
coming Of the Bridegroom. The grea,
need Of today is vision of the Chris
and fully consecrated heart to wori
for Him.
If we want power with God, we mus
get as far from the world as we can
Suppose Peter had said, Lord, If we g.
| down from this mount, can we pla.
cards just as much as ever, and dane
| just as much as ever?"
Because we have been in this noun
with you, and had such holy visions
have we got to give up all these things
Could you imagine such thing7
seems to me II we get one look at Chris
in His love and beauty, this worlds sin
| full pleasures would look very small t
u.s. We must be out-and-out for Christ
so that there will be no compromise
The cross of Christ is suffering more to
day by people trying to serve the go

at the same time, than fro manythin
else. Get near to Christ and yor WI

People may call you narrow, but Go

also descend to the plain. and be oc

HE depends a great deal on his

Tho high schools with the differen-

had Il sufficient number of ciassrooms
and teachers. said the Superintend-
ent's statement, but overcrowding and
double shifts are serious obstacles In
giving equal opportunity to all.
Denies Vision Lacking.
ut is not the lack OF vision, but
lack of tho conditions to carry out
the vision," DR.. Ballou said. that Is
depriving many children of the op-
portunities they most need. Among
the most pressing necessities. the

ties.
