JUNE 19, 2924. MONUMENT TO MARK VA10R ON THE SEA Shrine on Potomac for Navy and Merchant Sailors. Washington.?Anew shrine to A:nrn ' loin valor at 30. Is to take Its place j oon among tne monuments and me- j mortals here in the nation's capital to ' the great dead of America. Wrought j In bronze. St will stand at the brink ?%f ! the peaceful Potomac, that the river may hear with It to the sea a message of remembrance to those vtho; have gene down is ships for the flag, whether In men-of-war or plodding merchantmen. Across the wide river, high atuong the roiling Virginia hills, are the clus- ! tering shafts of Arlington National | cemetery, where many who died heroic deaths rest amid their military honors. < The monument will be built by pop- j ular subscription. It will cost $500,- j 000 or more. The site has been set aside by law and the form of the me- ! morial itself has been decided upon by the members of the committees who I* are, for the most part, men who huve served America on the sea. No Such Monument. Hear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske (re tired), chairman of the committee in charge, said: "There is no such monument arty | where in the world. There is no monument that attests any appreciation by men and women of the dangers which the men of the sea have braved or the conquest of these dangers which they have achieved. There is no visible reminder of our debt to the men of the sea which has welded widely separated countries into a coherent world. "Though monuments to military commanders adorn selected spots in nil the civilized countries of the earth, only a few monuments to naval men exist. and virtually all of these commemorate war achievements only. The long and hazardous voyages of merchant seamen' who made the ocean safe for commerce and spreud civilization over the earth, though told in song and story, have never received the recognition whi?h all men know to be the highest?that ??f an enduring monument, erected "n some exalted pot, where it can !? * seen of men. "Such a tribute it is the intent-of the Navy and Marine Memorial association to render the men of the sea; but it will memorialize, as well, those from whom the supreme sacrifice was not required, but who braved the same dangers us those front whom it was required, and stood equally ready to make it. It says to the countless millions who !ih\?* profited by their work that they tuuat not forget that work or neglect the men who did It. D&eerved Tribute. "So, while tills monument symbolizes the grandeur, of (he sea, it powerfolly suggest# tlwt grandeur of the seaman's art, which has made a conquest of the sea and marked a myriad of pauJB cross us EOIOlUUlUg WHl?r>. auu It culls U|i??i! every one to visualise what seamen have done for liim, and to pay a rightful tribute to those who, through all the dim centuries of the distant past, have 'gone down to the seu in ships,' and have dftne their business In great waters." Associated with Admiral Fiske on the executive committee are Walter Y. Firth, treasurer: William Fell owes Morgan, Jr.. secretary; Anna M. tiruhaui, Col. Robert M. Thompson, Cel. Edward A. Simpson, Ray C. Shepherd end Herbert N. Davison, headquarters cf the committee being New York city. The honorary national committee is headed by Secretary Wilbur of the navy as chairman, and includes Assistant Secretary Theodore Roosevelt, Admiral I.eigh C. Palmer, president of the Emergency Fleet corporation; MaJ. Gen. John A. Lejeum*. commandant of the Marine corps, and Rear Admiral William S. Benson, U. S. K., retired, of the shipping board. British Expert Reveals Oil Secret at Death London.?A method of eliminating sulphur from shale oil. thus making !t available for full lubricatlve and 11lmuinatleg purposes, was discovered by Professor Burls, who recently died, apparently from overwork Connected with Uls Investigations, according to the . Daily Mffil. I He had been employed for years by the government !n experimental work at Klmmeridne, Dorsetshire, where there are considerable shale deposits, and after heart breaking efforts discovered a process whereby he w as able to reduce the sulphur content of the oil to less than 1 per cent, which was below IUC gWVC'HIUiaH H na^nwuvM'.. Not satisfied with this, he continued hla researches, despite warnings thai be was overtaxing his .health, and seemed on the eve of achieving com plete elimination of sulphur when stricken with the illness resulting in his death. When virtually on bit deathbed he disclosed the secret process which, if it proves applicable on a practical scale, says the paper will open vast sources of valuable oil for Great Britain.

This is a tine ill list ration of the rightful placf of God'.* won! In the life of s nation. I. The Word of God Being Read (Neh. Midi). 1. The Eager Assembly (v. 1). Hie people otiliered themselves together an'! spnVe unto Ezra to bring the book of th? law. The people with yearning hearts requested the reading of (omI's Word. 2. A Representative Assembly (v. 2). It whs made up of men. women and children. The men did not leave the spiritual alTifrs to the women, neither were the children left at home. 3. An Appreciative Assembly (v. 3). So eager were they to know God's Word that they did not get tired, although the lessons lasted for five or Rlx hours. Their ears were attentive from morning until midday. 19. The People's Attitude Toward God's Wore ( Si h. -S:4-6). 1. Reverence Shown God's Word <w. t. f?>. When Ezra opened the Law. all the people stood up out of respect for God's Word. 2.

The supreme bust ness of the minister and teacher is t< make the Word of God so plain tha all?old and young?can understand. IV. The Effect of Applying God'i Word to National Life (Neh. 8:ft-lS). 1. Conviction of Sin (v. ft). Thi Word of God Is quick and powerfu Heb. 4:12). It brings conviction oi sin (Acts 2:37). God's method ot con vleting men of sin Is to have HI: Word applied by the Holy Ghost. 2. Weeping Turned fnto Joy (w 10-12). When sins have been per reived and confessed God would no have His children to he sad. Con tlnued mourning will not atone for rhi sins that are past. It unfits one fo present tasks and dishonors a pardon !ng God. 3. They Shared Their Blessing With others (w. 10-12). True jo; manifests itse;f in Riving to others. 4. The People Obeyed (w. 13-18) In their acquaintance with the Scrip Hires they found that the Feast of *h Tabernacles had h*?en long neglected They "went to work snd kept this ss cred fenst In a way that it had no been .. since the days of Joshu: (v. 17). 3. Separation From the I'ngodl; (Neli. 18:1-3). As soon as They ha heard the Word of God, they sepfi rated themselves from rhe mixed mul tltude. 0. The House of Worship Wa Cleared and Order Restored (Ne'r 12:4-14). No nation can he stron which neglects l's worship of the tru j flod. 7. Restoration of the Sabbath (Nel i 13-15-2).

Restoration nf Ood's T.aw of Mai rlage (Neh. 13 ). When thoi who hnj Intermarried with rh heathen were brought face to fac with their sin. they separated then selves from their ungodly companion because they eculd not have God' favor while living In disobedience I His Word.
