God is ever the friend of the weak, the defender of the defenceless^ the helper of those who have m> human helper. The God of the Bible has a partiality of kindness for those who have lost the human guardians of their feebleness. Whereon there is weakness in any one the strength of God is specially revealed. The Lord preserveth the simple. The simple are those who are inno cent and childlike, those who are un suspecting and trustful, who are not served by their own wisdom and art against the evils of men. The Lord preserveth the simple. He takps carc of them; He keeps and guards them Indeed, the safest people in thi.^ world are those who “have no power to take -care of themselves. Their very defencelessness is their protec tion, The nest of the blind bird is built by God,’ says an ancient pro verb. Have you ever seen a blind chil(’ in a house? How weak and helpless it is. It is at the mercy of any cruel ty which a bad heart may inspire. It is an open prey for all dangers. It cannot take care of itself. Yet how lovingly and safely it is sheltered. The mother love seems tenderer for the blind child than for any of the others. The fathers thought is not so gentle for any of the strong ones as for this helpless one. Those seal ed eyes, those tottering feet, those outstretched hands have a power to move those parents to labor and care and sacrifice such as the sti^angest and most beautiful of the household does not possess. Now this picture gives us a hint of the special watchful care of God for His weak children. Their very helplessness is their strongest plea; to the divine heart. The Cod o' ihc Bible is the God of the weak, the un sheltered. He sends His strngest an gels to guard them. The childrens’ an gels, keepers of the little ones, the weak ones, the simple, appear always before God. “Woe unto him, there fore, who tQUches the lea§t of those.” M. A Prayer: O Thou great Father of the weak, lay Thy hand tenderly on all the lit tle children on earth especially the weak, the simple, the unsheltered and bless them. Bless our own child ren who are life of our life, and who have become the heart of our heart. Bless every little child friend that has leaned against our knee and re freshed our soul by its smiling trust fulness. Be good to all children who long in vain for human love, or for flowers and water and the sweet breast of nature. But bless with a seven fold blessing the young lives whose slender shoulders are already lowered beneath the yoke of toil, and whose glad growth is being stunted forever. Help us to realize that ever child of our nation is in very truth, a member of our great family. By the Holy Child that nestled Mary’s bosom, by the memories of our own childhood joys and sorrows by the sacred possibilities that slum ber in every child, we besceech Thee to save us from killing the sweetnes of young life by the greed of gain, for Thou our God and Father, ar the friend of the weak, the defender of the defenceless, the helper of those who have no human helper anc' woe unto us if the tenderness or helplessness or trustfulness, or sweet ness of young life is hurt or harmed in any way by our hands. In Jesus name, we ask it. Amen. C. D. C.

TAP-~Tap-Tap! The knocking at the door of the house occupied by Charles von Kleist, in Brooklyn, was not peremp tory, nor yet did It savor of stealthi ness. During the silence which fol- lowetl, the two men on' the doorstep ]ooked at each other Inquiringly. * Then— ^ Tap—top—tap, they knockjed again. Slowly, silently, the door swung open and, from the Inner recesses of a pitch-black hall, came a voice which Inquired, In guttural German: “Who are you, and what do you want?” "We come from the Wolf.” was the reply. “He said that you would know wbat we wanfe<J.” “E^rom the Wolf?*’ echoed th« voice from within. "How do I know that you are not wolves yourselves? How ft “Tliis’ll prove Avho we are,” inter rupted the man who had previously spoken, producing a card and* slipping It past the stout chain which guarded the dpor. "Road and act,” he contin ued, still in German. A moment later the chain had been removed and the two men, their coat collars turned high, their hats pulled low. entered the darkened hall. Not until the old man had refastened the door and preceded them Into a room where the tightly closed shutters ef fectually prevented any spyinp: from the outside, did he again address them. When he did speak. It was merely to inquire their names. “Barnitz,” replied one of the men— tlic one who had carried on the con versation from the outside. “Barth,” said the other. "Barnitz,” the old man repeated ru- minatively. “That is a name of the Fatherland, a good name. But Barth? I know it not. Is it not English?” “American,” corrected the first of the strangers. “It would not do to use too many of our citizens In this plan. It would cause suspjcion. We must use all kinds of pe<)ple—that’s how we fool these Yankees! Besides, shQuld you doubt, there Is the card from the W’olf. That bears both names.” "That Is so,” agreed the German, “and Von Igel Is not one to take any chances. He Is too close to Von Papen. For what were you sent here?” “The Wolf wishes to l<e ns>r.rt'd that everything is going siiiodt! ly. Then, after a moment’s liesitation, during which he studied Von Klelst’s face very carefully: “Have you com pleted the bombs?” “A few only. It will be simple to make the others. Come, I will shotv you.” Through the winding, labyrinthine passages of the old house the German led them, and then out Into the back yard—a tiny plot of ground barely a few feet square. "As you will note,” he said, “we can not be overlooked from any of the sur rounding houses. The man called Barth, glancing up, saw that the German was right. Only the bare w'alls of warehouses frowned down upon them. As he looked, how ever, he seemed to catch a queer glint from one of the nearby roofs—a glint as ttf sunlight refracted from a binocu lar-glass. .\fter he had removed three tulip bulbs, planted in a straight line, as If to mark a certain spot. Von Klelst pro duced a small oblong box, blgck and ominous. “This.” he said, motioning them back into the house, “Is the only one I have ready for use. The ones I shall show you in the cellar—in order that you may tell the Wolf just how his plans are bting carried out—are merely the cases. But this one Doctor Seheele turned over to me as a sample. Care ful ! Don’t drop It! “There were several of tliese on the Lusitania, and when the news of her destruction first arrived I thought that my handlwoi'k was responsible. But the honor was not mine, unfortunately. There are also similar bombs planted on the Friedrich Der Grosse, In case these Yankees ever attempt to seize our property. Tlie moment they start her engines, that moment they start the boiubs! Yes,” concluded the old man, “you can tell the Wolf that his plans are being well carried out. Kar- 'tode, Schmidt, Paradis and Praedel are attending to the ones on the ship, rind Seheele and Becker oil land.” “Splendid!” exclaimed Barnitz. “The chief will be delighted to hear this. Wliy not come with us now’ and tell him about It?” Thinking, of course, that his visitor refeiTed to Wolf von Igel, Klelst read ily agreed, and It was not until tlielr taxicab stopped in front of police head quarters that he sensed anything wrong. Before h% knew It he was being walked Into the office of fnspector Thomas J. Tunney, with a gun in his ribs. “Chief,” cried Bamltz, “that card turned the trick! You’ll have to get a pardon for the scratcher. Anyone who can forge Von Igel’s writing as clever ly as that doesn’t deserve to be in Jail. We not orly nailed the old bird, but he’s implicated half a dozen others. Sometimes it pays to have a German name and be able to speak the lan- gnaj?e!” But the bomb plot, designed to de- <iroy liulf the shipping in New York I :iriior. didn’t officially end until Klelst , Sciiru dt were .s«!nt to Atlanta for , t- -! e:u‘h. while Becker.
