PRINCE ARTHUR MECHANIC

to Mend Broken Autos.
LONDON'. Feb. 17. (Special.) rrlnre
Arthur, of Connaught. on of Ihe com
mtaslonera responsible for affairs of
state during King George- absence
from England, will not b allowed to
recede Into the seclusion he prefers,
although th British sovereign la once
mor at the helm. Ha will leave Lon
don shortly for Vienna, to represent th
King at th marriage of Prince George,
a relative of the Austrian Emperor,
with the Archduchess Isabella.
If Prlnr Arthur had been born Into
an ordinary station lie would have fig-
th. heroes of th. faith have fallen into
a grave from which thera Is no resur
rection. They were true, those count
less millions, to a God who Is a Ac

unthinkable to me! And yet if It were
not so, we must accustom ourselves to
that despairing kind of thought. And
tha mansions of heaven! Wher. ara
they? Vanished:
Man tier last work, who looked so fair.
Such splendid purpose in his eyes.
Who rolled the psalm to wintry skies.
And built him forma of fruitless prayer,
Wbo lived, who suffered countless ills,
flTtio battled for the true, the Just.
Be blown about the desert dust.
Or sealed within the iron bills.
For you see th. mansions have gone
"Well." aaya a man in his materialistic
way. "It it be ao. why then one life is
enough, tha earth glvea all we need
desire." Tea, It Is enough for an ox,
needing only sufficient grass, enough
sleep, and an occasional drink: for
that is all the ox ever wants, and God
haa discharged .very obligation toward
th. ox when he haa provided these
things. The atone, unconscious of the
existence of other stones, complete tn
itself, encircled In self-sufficiency, the
earth is enough for that.
But th. man who has thought, and
who hopes, and who trusts th. spark
h. calls his soul will never go out In
th. Wintry blackness of death; th. man
who has loved and trusts some wher.
th. loved on. who vaniahed, waits for
his coming, you tell him this world is
all w. want and earth la enough, and
h. will hav. his opinion of you. and It
will not be flattering. And beside all
that I will wade through all these llttl.
flimsy things that beset me Ilk. th.
web of spiders, and march right up to
th. heart of th. attack, and say, God
had no right to make me as he has

sell any and all competitors because it costs us less to do business. It costs us at least $25,000 less because of our

rentered in the machinery of cogs and

Justed relationships of society. His
friends say that he would rather go
on a rid. in a faulty automobile than
in the most perfect car ever built, be
cause of the opportunity it offers him
to test his skill.
A well authenticated story is told
about Prince Arthur in the role of
frlend-ln-need to a stranded autoist.
It happened that a fussy storekeeper
with a hroken-down car received the
Prince's offer to help with grave sus
picion, but the high-born mechanic in
sisted on crawling under the car to in
vestigate. While he was there, the
Prince's chauffeur bound the store
keeper to secrecy, and then revealed hla
master's identity. Disregarding his
promise, tha storekeeper rushed to
Prince Arthur, and catching him by the
heels, cried. "Come out. Tour Royal
Highness, I can't bear to ice you there."
Prince Arthur got to his feet and
chirtetl his chauffeur:
What! Have you been telling that I
time I was thinking that though I dls
appear, I shall reappear; I may enter
the dark, but I shall emerge from the
dark again. And he had no right to
make me thus think, if it were not so.
Batterfly Comparison Made.
I put tha chrysalis sin my window
once, where tha warm sun of the Spring
shone; and I delightedly saw movement
in that chrysalis on. morning; and all
my expectation that from It there would
emerge the butterfly was fulfilled. For
In Its marvelous brilliancy, that butter
fly laid hold of the window frame, and
flapped its beautiful wings in the
warmth, and then at the fitting time,
soared Into the heavens, and went upon
lta way. And an instinct within my
soul said: "And for you, as for the chry
salis, there shall emerge the other life,
the larger life, the higher life." And
If It were not so, what a cheat! He so
constructed me that I have said to the
mountain: "When you are gone I shall
b. alive"; to the star, "When you have
fallen, I ahall stand erect"; to the sun,
"When you are forgotten. I shall be In
evidence, unhurt amid the war of ele
ments, the crash of matter and th.
wreck of worlds: unhurt amid th. con
fusion of th. final dissolution of all
things." And why did he make me be
lieve this. If It Is not so?
And L with David, have stood by
tha grave, and have said, "I shall go
to him, though h. will not return to
me." And I have said that out of
my heart, in which God had put eter

RECTOR IN GYPSY CAMPS
English Parson Learning Folk Lore
of Disappearing Xomads.
LONDON, Feb. IT. (Special.) In a
little-known corner of the Lincoln
shire woods .lives tha Rev. O. Hall,
rector of Ruckland, known as the Ro
many Rashal, or Oypsy Parson. He
has become quite an apostle to the
Jfypsy tribe, and few men have so
thoroughly won the confidence of these
nomads. In whose manners and cus
they are wronged I How they have
been Imposed on! And In bitterness I
would say, "Where they die let me
die; and in their hopelessness let me
be buried."
Stranger Aids Emprcai.
For If It were not so, there is no
home outside the horizon rim. Of the
last Empress of France 1 read, that
crippled and seeking to enter a church,
as the door inconvenienced her in her
crippled condition a stranger helped
her. unknowing who she was, and she
handed him a card, and on the card
was the name of the Empress of
France, and underneath there was
written, "Eugenie and homeless." Are
they homeless forever? I am Interested
In this. For I have sent some out
there. Are they homeless forever?
They pushed their frail crafts out Into
that sea whose borders I know so
little about. So long as they could
they sent back over the water their
words of confidence and assurance and
hope, and then there was silence. Did
they never And a port? Have they
cast anchor nowhere? Are they home
less souls? Is it true that along the
river of time they went out gliding,
out to a sea where destruction awaited
hope and purpose and life? And shall
we go out, out on tha same sea of
eternity, to drift and drift? If it were
not so, we shall. Oh, he lay in the
moonlight dying the sweetest singer
of the century gone but he had sung
his "swan song" for you know the
swan sings once and that Just before
death, . ao it Is fabled. And In his
"swan song" that he said, should al
ways be printed last In the bound
volume of his poetry he said this:
Sunset and evenlns star.
And one clear rail for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar
Whan I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Tqo full for sound and foam.

We value any little talent that may

no Christ, what am I? I am a man
who has thrown his life away on a '
lie. For, seven days after he saved me
he made me preach and I have been
preaching ever since. These hands have
welcomed thousands of people into the
church. I have stood by scores of
dying people and assured them that
Christ waited for them Just round the
bend in the road. I have not made an
effort to do anything in life but preach
his gospel. And If there Is no Christ .
if there is no Christ ah, "But if it
were not so I would have told you."
Bless him forever and ever! I know,
he would. If the sky were but an
empty vault, he loved me enough to
tell me so. If there' were no Father
to pray to, he would never have told .
me to pray. But I wanted you people
this morning to see a little of what
you would lose if it were not so; that
you might put your hand up into the
hand of the adorable Lord and feel
a little more thankful than you ever
did before that Jesus lives Jesus who
is the truth and that you might know
