CHEAP LABOR The following brief sketch is so laden with wisdom and appreciation for the happy position of American labor that it is reproduced here, al though it has been run by the West em Electric company as a paid ad vertisement in a great many maga zines and periodicals during the past two months. "A coolie works ten or twelve hours a day. If he carries all he can he moves ONE ton ONE mile in ONE daw For . this he receives 20 cents. 'Cheap labor,' you say. ?"Not cheap labor. Not at all. For in America we move ONE ton ONE mile for less than ONE cent. "The coolie laborer receives small Wages and accomplishes little. The American workman is well paid and accomplishes much. For he is, in fact, a foreman. Under. his direction arc powerful workers, electric mo tors and conveniences which do all the heavy, work for him. Plenty Of electricity and chcap electricity ? these are two great advantages which America enjoys over the rest of the world. They help to explain why we can have our high wages, our quantity production and our low costs.' ? So. Ry. News Bulletin. Improved Uniform International ! Sunday School 1 ' Lesson' iBf HKV. p. H.

Jesus Praying In a Solitary Plate (Mark 1:85). j .After n series of most strenuous ef | forts Jesus retired to n lonely place to pruy. He who. the tiny beforo lin ?! shown Ills mighty power in ci^tln^ out devils and banishing disease how needed to be alone with God. In or dor to do this He arose, a lung iJiiisr before daylight. The very best Unit* I to pray is in the morning when nar ! physical powers iiuve been renewed If i lie Son of God needed ibis time for prayer, this renewal of spiritual strength in communion with the J lloaveuly Father, how much more should we seek help by retiring to t lie j sol bury place. I "? Jecus Pr.-ylng In Gethsemar.e | j (Mark 11:32*42) iii fills time of crisis Hq took with him Peter, James and John. 1. The Orst prayer tvv. 33-38). (1) His posture (v. ,35). Ho fe'll on his face prostrate on the ground. In the hour of great need wo naturally prostrate ourselves before God. (2) His petition (v. 80). "Take away this eup from me." By the cup Is meant FIIs death on the cross. No doubt it was most grievous for Him .to. face tlilfl shame, but Ho pressed on. knowing that for this cause He had cdiue Into the world (John 12:27. 28; cf. Ueb. 2:14). (3) His resignation (v. 80). His will was in subjection to the Father. He knew that Ul6 death on the cross was the will of God, the Father, for He wns the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (4) The disciples rebuked (v. 37). He singled out Peter since he had been the most conspicuous in pro claiming his loyalty (John 18:38). (5) Extortatloo to the disciples (v. 88). * "Watch and pray lest ye enter Into temptation." The only way to be able to stand In the time of trial' Is to be watching and praying. 2. The second prayer (vv. 80, 40). He withdrew the second time, from the disciples and uttered the sumo words in prayer. This was not vain repetition. Ills proper to repeat our request*. He found the disciples asleep again. Their shame and con fusion were more marked than at hrst. 8. The third prayer (vv. 41, 42). He uttered the same words In the third prayer (.Mutt. 20:44). fte tells the disciples to sleep on and take their rest as the hour hud now come for His betrayal. There is such a thing as being asleep when wanted and awakening when It is too late. If (lie disciples hod been pray Ihg they would not have fallen asleep. ? II. Jesus Giving a Model Prayer (Matt. 6:013). ? This model was given In response ?o the disciples' request that the Lord would teach them how to pray (Luke 11:10). It is not therefore the Lord's prayer, but the model prayer for the disciples. It involves: 1. A right relationship (v. 0). "Our Father." Only those who be* come children of God by faith Id Jesus Christ (Gal. 3 :20) can pray aright. One must be a child of God before he can be In communion with God. 2. A right Attitude (??. 0, 10). '"Hallowed be Thy name." Whei. one realizes that he has been deliv ered from the power of darkness an*} translated Into the kingdom of lli* Son (Col. 1 :13) by being made a child of God, he cannot help pouring out his soul In gratitude and praise. In tensely longing for the kingdom, the righteous 'rule of Christ to come on the earth. 3. A right spirit (rv. 11-18). (1) That of trust which looks to God for the supply of dally bread. We are dependent upon Him for our dally food. With all man's boasted progress he cannot make a harvest The mar vels of modern chemistry are insuffl clent for this. (2) That of love which results In forgiveness of others. God will uot listen to the prayer of one who has an unforgiving spirit. (8) That of boilness which mov??* one to prny not to be led into tempts tion and longs to be delivered frum the evil one. ?

PROTECTION OF ! GAME IS NEEDED Raleigh, J tin. i 1 7. ? Unless ade-' qyaje . measures ? lire taken for the pmlerj.ion ?>f game in North Caw limt, hunting as a >|io)t will disap pear. within a short tinjc says James l'. lioK'-, of (ireensboro, severe la ry of the North Carolina (jiimu and , Kish League, who conferred with : Wade II/ Phillips, director of the De partment of Conservation ami ,1 ) c- , veJopment recently in regard to the. game situation. "Some of our game is now prac- ! tieally extinct, for instance, the wild pigeon, deer and bear,'' contin- i ued Mr. lloge. "Deer and biiarsa.ro' left in only a few parts of the stale! and they will not last long under the present system. "In Guilford county arid in other parts of the Piedmont one may hunt all day long and will b<* fortunate.; if he is able to hag as many as two quail. Th'.fe state cannot alTord to wait until some of her most valu- < able game disappears before taking I the necessary steps to protect them. It will be a great loss, and would require a great many years to recov er from such a situation. "North Carolina has shown pro gress in every other way and we cannot alFord to lag behind in this important matter. Ours is one of only two states which docs not Have ;i ' ate -wide game law. Of the i '? that has statewide gamrt laws, only one has ever repealed them, and that one later re-enacted the regu lations." Mr. Hoge emphasized one of the points in which the conservation of game will be an asset to the state through the attraction of sportsmen from other parts of the country. He pointed out that with the increase of game whi.eh would result, from adequate protection many of Flor ida's winter visitors passing through North Carolina would stop. "There is no reason," he de viated, "why we COUlO not hohl I many of the. tourists who go through I to Florida, and we can if they know thai they can go out for a day: and be sure of a fair bag. This stat? ha-- a good climate which assures the visitor of spending a pleasant win ter, and we could, no doubt. gain many residents for our state in this jway.
