A MOTHERS PRAYER
(By Rev. M. F. Combs)

OdluuCl L.1s
And Hannah, the mother of
Samuel, prayed. Without a child
she prayed that a child might
be given her. Having received
the child of the Lord, in answer
to this prayer, and having de-
finitely committed him to Gods
house and to His service, Han
nah prayed again, and Hannah
kept on praying.
What an exemplary mother
With a mother like that. it is
little wonder that Samuel be-
came the mighty man of God he
did. Beyond question, it was this
mother and the start she gave
Samuel that made it possible
for one of our keenest Bible
students to epitomize his life
thus
Samuel, the last of the judi
ges, was the founder of the
kingdom (the Jewish kingdom) !.
He anointed it's first two kings,
wrote its constitution, and was
prophet and advisor until his
death. He was a splendid char
acter given in answer to pray
err to a consecrated mother, de-
Dictated by her to Gods service,
called in youth to know God,
lived in communion with GOD
and for his country. Without
military training, he conquered
the countrv's enemies; with
ont 2 crown. he ruled a nation;
without roval+v all Welded to
his word. He died with unchall-
anoed purity and without a
STAIN"
Samuel is only represent
alive of many other splendid
characters of every generation
who were and are given in an
swer to the prayers Of their
conserated mothers.
Henry Ward Beecher, that
ratchless preacher, orator, au-
thor. and wit. says this about
a Go7ly, praying mother
"A man may go over all the
world; he may become a pir-
ate, if you please; he may run
throu h every stage of belief
and nnbelief;; he may become
absolutely apostate; he may
rub out his conscience; he may
destroy his fineness in every
respect; but there will be one
picture that he cannot efface;
living or dying there will rise
before him, like a morning star,
the beauty of that remember
ed goodness which he called
Mother"
The unearthly Dwight L.
Moody, that worldwide, time
tested evangelist, said:-
"All that / have ever acconp-
llshed in life I owe to my mot
her."
Napolcn, the dethroner and
enthroner of Kings, said:-
THE future destiny of the
child is always the work of the
mother"
Said Benjiman West:
"A Kiss from my mother made
me a painter
Mother that reads this, are
you a mother of prayer? Are
you in Hannah's class? Does
your child ever hear your voice
lifted in it's behalf at a throne
of grace? Oh for more mothers
that start their children upon
.life's rough way under he
power of such a prayer as the
following, which William C.lllen
Bryant represents a mother as
nraying:-
Starting forth on life's rough
way ;,
Father, guide them;
On, we know not what of harm
Nav betide them;
Meath the shadow of thy wing
Fother, hide them;
Waking, sleeping, Lord we pray
Go beside them.
When in prayer they cry tc
Thee,
Do Thou hear them;
From the stain of sin and shame
20 Thou clear them;
Md the quicksands and thu
rocks -,
Dc Thou steer them
In termination. trial. grief,
Be Thou near them.
Unto Thee we give them IN:
Lord, receive them.

boyhood come true. 1t is to enable the
boy who has known too much of city
life and it's ways to become physically
fit and mentally alert. 1t is to pre-
pare the adolescent for a wholesome,
healthful growth into young manhood
A list of names of a few of the
many who are emphatically endorsing
Eel Coronado as it is being planned by
r. r. Souers is attached to an appro
priately designed booklet which has
been issued for the purpose of explain
ing the aims and ideals of the school.
This list includes Harry A. Clark, gem
eral manager of the Calumet and Ari-
zona Mining company; Alfred Paul of
Douglas; e. w. Graves, vice president
of the First National bank; Rev. E.
w. Simonson, member of the National
Council of Educational Leaders of the
Episcopal church; Judge Charles M.
Milroy, court of common pleas, To-
ledo, Ohio ex-mayor of Toledo; S. W.
French, regional director boy scouts
Of America, Pasadena, Calf; s. p. APP
plewhite of this city; Sidney w. Souers,
vice president, Canal Bank and Trust
company, New Orleans, La; Carl Hay
den, United States senator from Ari-
zona.
In connection with the change in
school administration occasioned by
his leaving, Souers said yesterday that
he was more than pleased with the
decision of the board of trustees in
their appointment of J. e. Carlson to
! take up the work. He said that it was
great qualification to feel that the
1tr
whose whole life is wrapped up in the
interests of the schools and man who
is intimately acquainted with every
phase and detail of the administration
here.
Carlson will work with Souers dur
ing the summer months and will grad
uaIly take over the duties of school
head so that when on August l he
takes full charge of the office he will
be in a position to continue the adj
.ministration to the satisfaction and
benefit of everyone concerned.
u. e. Carlson has been in public
school work for 10 years. He gradu-
ated from the public schools of Idaho
in 1907 and graduated from the Lewis
ton state normal school in 1909. He
taught for one year in the grade
schools of Gilbert, Idaho, and served
fou one year as principal of that
school. From this position he went to
serve as assistant principal and coach
in athletics al the Winchester high
school. He served for four years as
principal of the Bonner's Ferry high
school at Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
Carlson came to Douglas in 1915 as
teacher in the grammar school,
served in that capacity for year and
then went to war. Upon his return he
served as principal of the grammar
school until 1928, when he was ap-
pointed principal of the high school,
position which he has held with honor
up to the present time.
The new chief of city schools is
graduate of the University of Wash
ington and has taken several special
courses in education at Columbia uni
versity of New York City, the Univer-
sity of California, the University OF
Idaho and Stanford university.

news that Douglas and this district
has the finest climate and the best

wild life.
PARKWAY ranch has been chosen as
headquarters for the school and build
ing's are to be erected there as Sleep
ing quarters for the students and in
structors ard as school rooms. The
greater part of the program will be
enacted in the open air.
The school is a, preparatory school
and will fit the student not only men
tally, but morally and physically TOR
higher education and later life It is
tho aim of The school as Souers has
outlined it, to build strong, healthy
men with good minds and the back
ground of good bodies that is so es-
sential to real achievement.
A program of hikes, horseback rid
ing, mountain climbing, hunting and
fishing is arranged to fit into this
school along with plenty of Instruction
in books. Souers started advertising
the school nationally in September and
said yesterday that the response had
been very gratifying, showing that
there is a genuine interest in a good
school of this sort
The first year plans call for accom-
modations for 20 boys. Meals will be
furnished at the PARKWAY ranch head
quarters, but the school itself will be
somewhat removed from the ranch
buildings. Each boy is to have a
horse and saddle. He will be taught
to ride and to care for his horse. Trips
will be taken on horses and on foot and
by motor so that the school will at
times travel while it studies books,
wild life and the art of camping COM
fortably.
In defining the chief aim of the
school, Souers says: "There is in the
heart of every adolescent boy deep
seated longing, perhaps uneXpressed,
to live and know an outdoor life. To
go west! To ride a horse over noun
tain trails! To sit on high crag at
sunset, as Apache chieftains once did,
and watch the sun slip down beyond a
far horizon! To breathe deeply of the
clean desert and mountain air To
study his lessons beneath white pine
or spruce tree or beside a sparkling
trout stream! And for such longings

founded.

and an attempt was made to prevent,
the entrance of the correspondent.
He made his way inside, however,
and handed a message he had re-
ceived from New York headquarters
of the Associated Press regarding
the reported Garza revolt to Arch
bishop Ruiz and asked the archbishop
if there was any truth in, it.
Immediately man in civilian
dress, who proved to be a secret
agent of the department Of the in
terror, asked to see message, and il
was shown to him. 1t was then
learned that Bishop Diaz had been
arrested and ordered depofted and
ali the others were under arrest.
The correspondent was prevented
from leaving the building to forward
the news, but succeeded before gov
crnment officials could prevent him,
in telephonlng to his wife. 1t was
through Mrs. Dubose that first news
of the arrests was sent out of Mex
ico, and she also informed the
American embassy.A
The telephone was snatched out
Of the correspondents hand and ne
was held incommunicado for the re-
mainder of his hix-hour detention,
William Folger, the United Press
correspondent learning that his fell
low worker was in custody, imme-
diately repaired to the episcopate,
and on entering the building found
himself in the hands of the police.
He, too was held incommuntcado.
Both men made formal demands, as
American citizens, arrested without
cause or charges, to be allowed to
telephone the American embassy
Mexican government officials declined
to accede. The American vice consul,
John McArdle, came to the episcopate
pursuant to instructions from the en-
bassy and formally demanded the re-
lease of Dubost and Folger but his
demand was not complied with for
four more hours. He was even denied
the use of the telephone.
Then Arthur Bliss Lane, first secre-
tary of the embassy, appeared and
notified the Americans that represen-
tations had been made to the Mexican
foreign office for their release.
The prelates and all the episcopate
staff remained confined in the episco-
pate building under arrest when the
correspondents were released; they de-
clared they were ignorant of the
charges against them.
The prelates with philosophic kindli-
ness attempted to console the cores
pondents and told them not to worry,
as things ultimately would turn out
all right.
