+ WALT MASON’S PROS POEM. 4
MOTOR GRIEFS
The man who owns a motor car with
briny tears bedews the land; he dwells
where tribulations are walks with sor-
row hand in hand. When skies are
bright he starts to roam, to view some
sweet, attractive scene and when he’s
nineteen miles from home, he finds he’s
out of gasoline. The grievous mishaps
always chance when he’s remote from
all repairs, to which unhappy circum-
stances he owes the whiteness of his
hairs. The radiation’s dry as dust. In
some drear desert, long and wide: and
for a well. In deep disgust, he scours
the whole bleak countryside. And when
he lacks an extra tire an inner tube is
sure to split and kneeling in the mud
and mire, he weeps and prays and
throws a fit. If he’s in haste to get
to town. to. fetch a doctor or a nurse,
the steering gear Is broken down—if
not just that, it’s something worse.
There’s always something he must buy
a tire a corkscrew or a jack; the cost
of motoring's so high that it would
break a banker's back. The man who
owns a motor car must daily hear mis-
fortune’s cab: he walks where tribula-
tions are—yet has a grand time, after
all!’
Big—122 inch wheelbase. Beau-

tasete top, curtains open with the
doors, fasteners are the “lift the
dot” pattern.
Compare Quality—
and Price
Think how great the difference
between this quality Chalmers and
other cars. Realize what unusual
value is here offered. You will go
much higher in price before you will
find any other to please you so well.

WASHINGTON, March 29.—It is defin-
itely stated here that the American gov-
ernment has no knowledge of any de-
velopment likely to come before Con-
gress convenes Monday which would
change the present situation between
the United States and Germany.
If Germany contemplates any sort of
peace move or has considered abandon-
ing its ruthlessness of if any other na-
tion has a mind a step designed to alter
the present international status, the gov-
ernment is without information on the
subject *
President Wilson continued today ad-
vising with friends nreparatory to be-
ginning writing of his address. There
is talk of opposition in Congress that
would prevent a declaration either of
war against Germany or that a state of
war between the United States and Ger-
many exists. The movement is said to
be from the Middle West and to reflect
the sentiment of German-American-:,
who, however, pledge their support in
case war is inevitable.

THE RICH MAN’S BURDEN.
I read a splendid thing not long ago
that thrilled me through and through.
It was this: A group of wealthy peo-
ple had planned to build themselves a
beautiful club house. They had gotten
together a million dollars, I believe it
was. for this purpose. And then they
decided, instead of building that beauti-
ful club house, to give the money to
the war sufferers.
That meant sonwlhing. That cos’
them something. And I think it will
count them something, don’t you?
Why It Is Hard for Rich People to lb*
Unselfish.
It is so hard for rich people to
truly unselfish, because it is so easy for
them to be generous without being un-
selfish at all.
They can give sums that will accom-
plish tremendous amounts of good, that
will make the papers call them philan- [
thropists, that will bring them infinite j
gratl-tude, without really giving up any-
thing.

Mr. Mathieson’s subject was “God's

bile, but he may no» need iu A boy
may need an education bur be may not
want it. We all need the help of God
and Jesus Christ whether we want it
or not. The preacher said he was anx-
ious to convince people of their need
in such a way that they would want
the blessings that come from the power
of God. He said our need might be in-
terpreted in the terms of yesterday, to-
day and tomorrow. - What is the need
of the yesterday of your lives?" he ask-
ed. “We have all sinned and come

little hook to the pendulum rod. When
this adjustment was made the clock
went on beautifully. If our lives are
to have power to overcome daily sin
they must be linked up with the life of
Jesus.’
“But what of the ‘tomorrow?’ Here
ag.Mn the power of God can supplv our
i need. In material things some people
would pay almost any price to know
that everything necessary for this life
would be supplied and that neither sor-
row nor trial nor any other burden
would ever come into their lives. This I
we cannot know, but we can know, if .
we trust Christ, that every spiritual I
need will be met not only for this life
b(it for the life to come. The need of,
the past is pardon, of the present pow-j
er. of the future provision. Jesus has i
all power and therefore He can supply :
every need. ‘Oh if I were lucky enough
to call this estate mine,’ said a young I
man, ‘I should be happy.’ ‘And then.’ i
said»a friend. ‘Why then I'd pull down .
the old house and build a palace, have!
the best dogs and horses in the coun- J
try, the best, wines in my cellar and j
have open house for my friends.’ ‘And ‘
then?' ‘ ‘Well I suppose after a while .
I should grow older and set tired of'
these things.’ ‘And then?' ‘Well. I1
sunpose one of these days 1'1 reach the )
end of life and—well—yes, died.’ ‘And
then?’ ‘O, bother your “thens," I must j
be off,‘
“Many vears afterward this same .
voiing man met his former friend and
said. ‘God bless you I owe my happi-
ness to you ’ ‘How?’ ‘By two words spa- I
ken in season long ago.’ ‘And then?’ ’
Mr Mathieson concluded by urging
all who were not Christians to accent
Christ., who is able to supply “our need
for the yesterday, today and tomorrow.
