HARMONY OF GOD’S LAWS. “God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform,” runs the oldTiymn, with truth as majestic as its images are sublime. He rules the earthquake, and the storm, as well as the placid vales of quiet and the gentle breezes of the night. Some may have difficulty in reconciling the terror of an earthquake like that which rocked Japan with the accepted no tions of God whose love is infinite and whose com passion is unfathomed. Any 'so situated have not brought to hear on the question the full scope of their understanding. It was easy in the days of darkness of ages gone for man to ascribe any calamity or misfortune to an offended god. The simplest of natural processes led man in the beginning to a conception of the divine origin of all that is, and he readily resorted to an extension of this to a6count for any unusual hap pening, and good fortune came when his god smiled on him and some evil thing overtook him when his god was offended. With the spread of enlightenment Came a better understanding, and man was brought to realize his own share in some things; that his own free will was God's highest gift to him, and that he and not his Maker was responsible for the use he made of the freedom he enjoyed. Once this has been realized, man can quickly come to a point where he will know that evil is not the effect of God’s anger, J»ut is an overflow from a great law of harmony. When the operations of that harmony are disturbed, evil results. There la no light without a corresponding shadow, no good but can be distorted into evil through a failure to conform to the lays of God. A medicine may be •ither a deadly pftison or a sovereign remedy, ac cording as to bow it is administered; fire that warm* will lilso burn, and the.sama causes that set in •motion the breezes that soothe the heat of summer or the colH of winter will set in motion the hurricane and the tornado; the clouds that carry the gentle rains also bpar the deluge that overwhelms the world with floods. All these things come from God, under His laws, parts of a great plan the full measure of which is pet beyond man’s vision. Questioners pursue this to the ultimate, only to be forced to accept the absolute His ways are just, even when most mysterious; to •peak of God’s wrath is a figure of speech unworthy of use. God does not bbeame angry with men; men fail to obey God’s laws, and that failure brings • penalty. Natural processes go on in response to the general plan, and the operation of those processes now and then brings terrible suffering to humanity Yet • universe, mighty and magnificent beyond the conception of finite minds, turns on those same force* whose continued opposition causes all the natural laws to operate, whether it be to bless or to confuse. Scholars and the simple alike stand abashed in the presence of these fundamental truths. Wise men have weighed them, and only the foolish have denied them. Job discussed them with Eliphalet and Bildad, and in the end exclaimed, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him!” That faith, and that alone, will reconcile mortal man to the ways of God, which are yet inscrutable, and past finding out. When man sufficiently masters himself to set up a just and perfect balance within himself, he will be so much nearer to the goal of understanding, yet not in this life will he come to a place yfhere he will know it all. THREE R’S GETTING DOWN TO WORK. According to a report just made by William T. Bawden, assistant commissioner of the United States Bureau of Education, vocational training has mads great progress within the last two years Greater attention than ever before is paid to it by the genera] public as well as by educational Authorities. He finds that in addition to the training given at public expense in medicine, law, surgery, dentistry, teaching, nursing, architecture, and many subdivision^ of engineering, agriculture and com merce The demand for instruction at public expense in mechanic arts and trades, is increasing, and the part-time school is coming in for more and more detailed consideration. On this point he says: “The part-time school Is developing rapidly and significantly as an agency to gainfully employed youth during that age at which the youth may profitably enter certain classes of occupations hav Ing the qualities 'of pei-manency, opportunity for future growth and personal development, and fi nancial regards adequate to the maintenance of American standards of family life. For many youth k Shis period Includes the years between the ages \ 14 and 18, and the school machinery set up by B the laws In the several states applies to varying ^ portions of tfils period. It would seem that the m\ part-time school should enlist the sympathetic In i \ terest, and Is entitled to the support, of every true ^.^fciellever In education, and, above all, of the public J*9mchool man.” warranted conclusion to be drawn from this is the movement in education is to make the fll^.ols more generally usefuk-by supplementing the cultural with a practical training. The actual value of the latter is yet to be demonstrated, for, as Mr. Bawden says, “Nothing can be more neglectful of the finer things Of life than the heartless way In which society has acquiesced In the wholesale termination of school advantages and the absorption of millions of Immature youth In competitive business and Industry without adequate preparation or sympa thetic supervision.” Experience will show what is needed, and the public schools of the land may be looked to with confidence by the people, who expect from them not I miracles, but a service that will give back to tho community something of value for the expense of maintaining them. If this comes through the train ing of good bricklayers, blacksmiths, bookbinders, machinists, or in any other way, it will be well. Not, however, at the cost of the finer things for they are needed quite as much as are the material. The training should be carried on that the graduate will not be lopsided, or possessed of knowledge he will have to forget or can not use when he goes Into the world to make his way. A aon has been horn to the queen of Jugo-Slavia. Lucky for the lad that he will have a chance to grow up without the handicaps a prince used to en counter. Another Omaha man talked himself into a $100 fine in police court. That is one place where silence it golden. Col. Tom Majors appears to have at I»ast one (sore fight in his system. 4 HOPE RIDES THE BIG AIR SHIP. One of the most important experiments the United States government ever launched is now being carried on under direction of the navy. It is the testing of the ZR-1, the great rigid dirigible constructed by the Navy department, and which is not only the largest airship ever built, but ex presses the last word in construction of that type of vessels. Weaknesses of the R-38, which collapsed at Hull, England, while on its trial flight before being ac cepted by the United States, have been corrected in the ZR-1, and the explosion that destroyed the Roma is not likely to be repeated, as the new ship is equipped with helium gas instead of hydrogen. Builders of the great craft have faith in its stability and durability, but are proceeding with proper cau tion in making their tests. ' Air craft men generally are watching the ZR-1 with intense interest, for they feel that in a large measure the future of aeronautics is involved in the success or failure of the ship. Some have ex pressed the thought that the size of the new monster of the air is a menace, while others are equally certain that its dimensions are an advantage. Those who contend for the smaller type argue that with less of bulk the ordinary dangers of navigation are more easily overcome or avoided, and while the carrying capacity is diminished, this is offset by greater freedom of handling and lessened cost, both of construction and maintenance. That is a point for the experts to thresh out. The public is chiefly interested in whether this form of aerial navigation is practicable. Especially is the army watching tne navy s prog ress, for a keen but good-natured rivalry exists between the two over aviation and aeronautics. The chief advantage the navy appears to have gained is its ability to produce nndVork duralumin, the metal alloy discovered by the Germans during the war, which has the lightness of aluminum and the strength of steel, when properly prepared. Army experiments have not as yet been successful in producing the metal, but the work is now being pressed at McCook field, headquarters for the engineers of the army air service. To the' public success of the ZR-1 means that another long step has been taken toward the goal of making the airways useful for commerce. A ship of that type can not only carry passengers, but will handle freight as well. Let one bo definitely estab lished. and others will follow, so that in the end the air will be as well filled with them as the ocean is to , day with steamships. That is why Zeppelin Rigid No. j 1 carries a great load of hopes in Its trial flights. ROBINS HOLDING THEIR CONVENTION Have you noticed that the robins are not patron I izing your bird bath? Of course you have, and you | have missed the friendly little fellows from your I front lawn, from the trees and other places they so | enlivened by their presence. Maybe you were too much taken up with other matters at the moment to give this thought, but the robins are gone. No, they have not yet set out for the south to spend the winter. No self-respecting robin thinks of going south until much later in the season. In deed, there is good reason to think some of them stick around in this part of the world all winter long. Well protected ravines, safe from the stormy blasts of the north and exposed to the sun, offer shelter in which the hardy bird finds a home through the long cold months of the winter, coming forth from time to time to set the first robin hunter all aglow with his announcement in late January or early February having sighted the harbinger of spring. Jtfst now the robin Is attending the great annual conclave. He has given over the domiciliary visi tations paid to his fcatherless friends, and is associ ating exclusively with those of his kind. Some grove along the river will be found literally alive with them, where they arc carrying on their own business in their own way. The reason for this is not plain, but the robin knows, and that is enough. Great flocks of the birds are assembled around this time of year, secluded In the deep woods, and there they will remain until the time fon flight comes. Some morning soon this convocation will arise, almost as one bird, and fly away, “to a country much warmer than this,” where the winter will be spent. Then, some bright morning next spring, you will see robin redbreast scooting across your lawn, trying to appease an appetite made the most vora cious by a long journey from Mexico. By the way, our robin Is really not a robin, but a thrush. GUIDO DESERVES A CELEBRATION. Another birthday anniversary is being celebrated this year very generally in France and Germany. It is unique in that the exact day is not certainly fixed, so that any old day of the week or month, may be observed. However, the important part of the occasion is that in 1023, just 900 years ago, one Guido, a Benedictine monk, made possible the preservation of music by inventing a system^ of notation. Guido’s plan was simpler than that in vogue today, as might be expected. He had no jazz to contend with, nor did the instruments of his time suggest any such acrobatic performances as are common enough nowadays. Instead of using five lines, with notes on them and in the spaces between them, Guido used but four lines, and only the spaces. This does not al low for a wide range or variety of tone, but the melodies he was then setting down had to do chiefly with the solemn, stately music of religion, some of it even ponderous, and much of it dolorous. His invention, however, found favor, and it was not a very long time before the troubadours had made use of It for their sort of music, which led to the extension of the staff, tot it is not possible to set down the notes of a rondeau or a ballade in so narrow a compass as the spaces between four line*. Those same troubadours, with their lutes, guitars and the like, did other things for music, which necessitated the addition of lines above and below the stiff. Some of them had gotton along fairly well without written music fot there had been harpers and tunes long before Guido took up the matter. It was not only the “piper who played before Moses,” or the harps that Miriam and her sisters hung on the willows, nor David, whose harp had a thousand strings, but a multitude of minstrels, who had amusqd a chieftain or pleased a maiden through the ages before A. D. 1023. Thanks to Guido, tunes are more easily transmitted now than before his day. Now that the show is over for the year, Old Doc Henze will spend some hectic duys^finishing up the floats for .lohn I.ce Webster's parade, which is to be the greatest thing Ak-Sar-Bcn ever put over. An Omaha woman seeks divorce because h«r husband would not go to church. Think what might happen If that spreads! If the farmers do not patronize the stat^ fair, who will? It is their show. LISTENING IN On the Nebraska Press It is said that present state officers who are holding their second and third terms nre going to ask for election to a fourth term because they want to hold forth in the new capltol building. There are a whole lot of people In Ne braska who would like to hold office in the new building who have not even had any terms, but if an am bition to hold forth In the new state house is a qualification, why not create a few more offices so the rest of us can have our ambjtiona gratified. —Madison Star-Mail. A Chicago Judge declares that "wo men who spread scandal should get a ducking.” This might meet the ap proval of a good many provided the ducking was not administered In the summer. Hut during a good cold spell In the winter such a ducking would lie "cruel and Inhuman” and therefore could not lie tolerated. No doubt the Chicago magistrate was merely ex pressing judicial condemnation of the disseminators of malicious gossip.

Segerstrnni of the First Swedish Baptist church, at Thirty-fourth and Burt streets, will have for his topic tliis evening, ‘■Shaking of the Earth,” and will say: The terrible shakeup of Japan,the last few days through earthquake, tidal waves, fire and storms, has star tled the world. Yet these things have happened and will yet. Jesus speaks of earthquakes as one of the signs of His coming. When we are surprised at these awful things taking place we forget that sin cursed the world and brought lit ail these sorrows and woes. From tho (lay of the fall of man curse came upon the world which will not bo taken away until sin is eradicated front the earth. The human race has constantly disobeyed Ood as a whole. When Moses was about to part with the Israelites, he pleaded with them to obey Ootl. If hot, he says, "Ik- sure that your sin will find you out.’ ’ We can say that God shakes the earth in many ways. Politically for Instance. “The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take coun sel together against the Lord, but the Lord shall have them in derision. He shall break them with a rod of iron. He shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel, Ps. 2. The last few years have already seen some of this prophecy fulfilled. Religiously God has shaken the earth many times with great revivals. At the day of Pentecost the house where the dis ciples were gathered literally shook and the hearts of thousands were broken through the power of God. Again according to prophecy the whole earth shall lie shaken. “Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also Heaven,” Hebr. 18:26. “The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage: aqd the transgression thereof shall la? heitgy upon It,” Is. 24:2». What will the final result or out come be? Certainly tho devil's work will he destroyed- "Christ came to destroy tht works of the devil. “We see not yet all things put under Him, 4,tit it is certainly coming. Self ishness will then tie abolished from the earth. All things will be new. If sin cursed the whole earth. Christ will cure the whole earth. , Hence this word, “Yet ortce more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot lie shaken may remain: wherefore we ate receiving a kingdom which can not be moved,” Hebr. 12:27, 28.
