man existence appears to have its
trials and disappointment. Every
one observes that the good things of
the world seem most unevenly dis
tributed. Yet in the face of so-called
failure and even despair
There's a Wilderness in Gods mercy
Like the Wilderness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
For the love of God is broader
Than is seen by human mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
COnversing in Heaven
The mesmerism of the material
world is not a permanent affair.
Mans genuine status of perfection
has not departed. 1t has not even
faded. If unseen or forgotten in this
wilderness of mortal belief and ig-
norance, it is nevertheless at hand.
1t is not a condition so much to be
struggled for as it is to be called to
remembrance. Life with all its
glories is here to be recognized. It
is yours this day, yours to be en-
joyed.
1t makes no difference how busy
you are, you are choosing, you are
making decisions, you are talking
with yourself. If you are not eau
tious you will be picturing age, fash
ioning ill health, deploring the in
efficiency of government. When you
select this line of conversation you
add to the mesmerism which is al
ready weighing you down. You
make the wrong choice.
With a little more spiritual dis
cernment and resolution you can
make the right choice. You can or
der your conversation along health
full and wholesome lines. All day
long you can talk with yourself of
the vigor, the buoyancy, the resist
~lessness, the eternality, the glory of
Life, keeping in thought all the time
that it is your life you r talking
about.
In this way you put vital truths to
work in your own premises instead
of idly contemplating them in the
abstract. In this mood you are not
far from invoking the Daily Prayer
set forth by Mrs. Eddy in her Man
ual of The Mother Church: "Thy
kingdom come; let the reign of di-
vine Truth, Life, and Love be estab-
lished in me, and rule out of me all
sin"

Wartime Gains by Neutrals
(New York Times)

The argument often made, that European war in which the United States is not involved could not affect this country adversely to any considerable eX- tent raises interesting questions In so far as neutral counrys profits depend selling to bel
 gerents the goods which the beligerent has ceased to produce in peacetime quantity the neutral trade will naturally benefit As merchants learned after 1914, a foreign between nations which had been large producers and exporters of peaceme goods may give important temporary advantage to neutral try, through its increased exports to other trals whose requirements the bellgerent countries could no longer fill In 1916 exports of goods to European countries had increased $1475 100000 over 1914 110 percent. But exports to countries in other continents (notably North America South America and Asia), had also increased $893 900 OOO 115 percent
 Wartime rise of prices had much to do with this dollar ncrease but that affected exports to both kinds of destinations, and the comparison remains impress the end gainer by this opportunity there is more doubt Before 1914 the neutrals had been importers well exporters and the European belligerents had previously sent them capital well goods. It was not so easy to pay for imports from substituted exporter-a fact which exporting merchants learned, very much to their expense in the two after 198 None of the neutral states in Europe South America emerged from that in a sound and prosperous condition. Our prosperity the most powerful of the neutraS though long Spectacu- lar turned out not to be lasting.
 There remained, from July, 1914, to November, 1918 the always overhanging problem whether this or that neutral state would not itself be drawn into the war There remained then, there would in another general war, the question what would happen to the currenceS of the world

the British Empire with POT percent and the third largest Netherlands India with 8.6 percent
 The United States last year supplied Japan with 90 39 percent of the scrap iron and steel she needed in the production of materials according to the Chinese agencys survey Seventy-six percent of the aircraft and parts imported by Japan came from the United States: 66 percent of her oil and petroleum products 91 percent of her copper 45 percent of he1 lead and 67 percent of her metal working machinery The United States also a major supper of scrap rubber hides and skins aluminium, zinc, ferro-alloys leather, and arms and ammunition.
 The striking feature of the survey is the way in which it illustrates the economic power which the United States and the British Empire possessed, but failed to in curbng Japans military venture Be- tween the two the Land of the Rising Sun obtained 85 percent of all the war materials she needed.
 Nor does it appear to have been good busi- ness proposition. The sale of scrap iron to Japan served to drain this nation of important industrial commodty-to say nothing of implement of de- fense-and only haStened Japan's achievement of her of supply. Japan, for instance, began exploiting the Lungyen iron deposits in China late 1937 and during 1888 imported A percent less scrap from the United States by dollar volume It requires great stretch of the imagination to realize that quickly Japan consolidates her conquest in China, she will develop of supply for the commodities the United States has somewhat shorsightedly pro- vided her a means of conquest.

NOT so TOUGH

Mountain lions are a fair enough size, ranging in length between eight and eleven feet from tip to tip, in cluding tail assembly. We never heard of one which would charge the camera to make good news reels. And it doesn't take such a big gun to kill them. We have read that good African hunters use a 450 ex- press, which shoots a bullet the size of a football Mountain lions will set tie for less.
 Moreover, for $50 a good woods man will rope one of them single handed and turn him over to a zoo alive and well. We know a hunter, Tom Koski, out in Salmon City, Ida ho, whose dogs once chased a moun- tain lion into cave. Koski went in with pistol and brought him out. He thought it was worth the risk. He got $15 dollar bounty for it. And besides, the dogs would have been disappointed.
 Nevertheless we thought Repre- sentative Tinkham might take a finger at it, come autumn. But when we put it up to him, he just said no.

 Many benefic aspects are strong today. according to astrology From morning until late at night, kindly stars influence the Earth.
 This is emphaticaly date for launching important projects. Busi= ness heads should make use of the configuration's kindly aid. All be- ginnings will be fortunate. 1 Women should profit greatly un- der today's promising sign, particu- larly through romance. It is a time for a happy climax to the summers flirtations.
 The sway encourages women in the artistic professions, as well as those who follow prosaic vacations. Demand for their services in Ngov- ernment positions and in private, business is prognosticated. Theaters flourish under this di. rection of the stars. Young players are to gain fame after delayed rec ognition. ar (
 The evening is propitious for all social gatherings, especially wed- dings. Brides will come into unusual prosperity.
 Accidents are likely to increase. Human life is to be sacrificed reck- lessly through daring ventures on land and sea and in the air.
 Egypt comes under evil portents Unrest and discontent may be mani fest in coming weeks. The stars presage continued peril for the world.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of perplexities as well as successes. Care and eau ton should be exercised in all af- fairs. Money should be used wisely and extravaganza avoided. [ Children born on this day prob ably will be diplomatic and ar tistic. These subjects of Leo usually have good minds and the ability tc use their mental gifts.

All, SWEET NOTORIETY

The Rev Homer Kelems whose attempt to sub sttute balyhoo for navigation landed him on the Cape St. Elias rocks recently is getting publicity even in the newspapers of the East All of it isn't favorable either.
 The Oklahoma evangelists il-conceived expedi- tion toward the Arctic but which didn't get within thousand sea miles of the circle led editorial writer on the conservative New York Times to muse as follows
 No other geographical idea has persisted so long finally to prove itself the truth our time that of the Northwest Passage to Cathay It soon appar- ent that Columbus had only discovered certain ob- stacles the way to the Orient. Ambitious mariners thereafter devoted themselves to circumventing these obstacles either to the north the south Magellan succeeded in the south But it in vain that John Cabot Henry Hudson and Sir Martin Frobsher pushed their ships to the north. Cabot defeated by his annoying discovefy of North America Hudson disappointed to find the expected passage mere river and only Frobsher, with hold full of black dirt which he took be gold thought he had found anything of real value The search continued through the centuries with hundreds of bright hopes embamed in the Arctic wastes.

 Watchman! what of the night? Surveying the far horizon it looks very much if heading for terrific storm We almost completely surrounded by very heavy ominous clouds with just streak of light here and there to relieve the dismal outlook.

 lives in hopes of being able to their objective before the others able to do SO. The race is on with the ultimate result being weighed in the balances The cargo being carried is likewise similar in all cases-human life and munitions. strange combina- tion! stray spark, then explosion followed by the sacrifice of human life. Such is war! And yet both men and women motivated doubt by false captions of what they term patriotism still bndly fol- low which they must realize, many through actual experience, at best only accomplish the annihation of human life. They still have implicit faith in the effectiveness of the hideos instruments of modern warfare, rather than in more humane methods for the settlement of international differ ences. Truly sad reflection in this day and gen. eration.
 But after all the deadliest engines of destruction Ire those builded hate and germinated in the human mind This is thought which present events force upon our minds and imagination. It is one (which We would all do well to ponder seriously.
