CONSERVATION IS ID BE DRAWN UP Proposed Bill Will Be Prepared by Legislative Reference Bureau For Governor IT WILL MEAN ECONOMY Governor Plans to Consider the Measure During the Coming Fortnight Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh's ideas on the proposed department of consevrtion which is to include the State Game, Fish. Water Supply and Forestry departments are being put into the form of a bill by the State legislative Reference Bureau which it Is expected will be ready for discus sion within the next week. The fundamental idea in the bill Is to consolidate the activities of the out door forces of these branches of the government. There are now game, tisli and forest wardens who are in the woods and it is the idea that the men can be better distributed than they are at present and with the assistance of the State police can be more effective in rounding up violators of the laws. These departments receive about a million dollars in biennial appropria tions and it Is said that the Governor has a plan whereby the game bureau will receive all of the revenue from hunters' licenses and more, too. In all probability the committees of the various organizations interested in wild life will have to present their ideas to the Governor. One of these plans is for a State commission to make study of the way consolidated departments have operated in other States and to make a report to the legislature. No action is likely to be taken this session for revival of the campaign against the chestnut tree blight which was abandoned two years ago because of the lack of funds. The State For estry department will be expected to keep track of the disease and any spread that appears to be alarming will be reported, but no separate com mission to tight It is considered as at all probable.

HISTORY OF RELIGION: They Far Antedate Christianity;« One Was Held a Thousand Years Before Christ FLAG AND BIBLE GO TOGETHER International S. S. Lesson Is "Sam uel, the Victorious Leader," I Sam., 7:3-17 (By William T. Ellis) Informed folk are amused when they hear persons talking of the "Billy" Sunday meetings in Philadel phia as if they were quite a new thing. In truth, revivals are as old as the history of religion. They far antedate Christianity. The present Sunday School lesson deals with a notable one experienced a thousand years before Christ. While the na tion often slumped afterwards, it was nevertheless more thoroughly a nation, because fused in these hot fires of spiritual emotion. "Revolutions never go backward." History advances by a series of con vulsions. Where the flames of ardor burned yesterday, the cruse of con ventionality represses to-day. Fire is followed by formalism. This is broken up by the inevitable revival which creates a fresh self-realization, and a new and personal apprehension of God. Samuel led the nation in a spiritual revival at Mizpah, and consecrated Israel to Jehovah's service. This makes timely reading in a day when the newspapers of America are giving more space to religion than ever be fore in the history of the world. Prying That Was Punished From the cities of the Philistines the Ark was carried to Beth-shemish in Tsrael, where the people suffered for their irreverent treatment of It. The careful reader is struck by the high importance which both the Old and the New Testaments attach to rever ence. Sins of irreverence, small and trivial in themselves, were repeatedly smitten with punishments apparently out of all proportion to the offense. The reason for this appears upon de liberation. Reverence is fundamental. The first of all commandments is "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me." In the summary of the law given by Christ the preeminence of God is made basic. Our day needs to a peculiar degree this lesson of reverence. There are subjects and objects too sacred to touch with light and careless hand. Even preachers are prone to irrever ence and sacrilege. The common speech of some persons who count themselves cultivated is lightly sprin kled with the name of the Diety. Re ligion is treated flippantly, and made a subject for jest. The supposedly hu morous papers deem a touch of Irrev erence sufficient point to make a joke. To all such the episode at Beth shemish remains a reminder. "Holy and reverenced in His name." Rallying to the Standard That troublesome Ark of the Covenant—troublesome as truth is troublesome —was at length removed to the house of Ablnidab in Kiriath jearim. Apparently there was a Le vite there, and assuring the safety and prosperity of the family of the Ark was cared for reverently for twenty years. That was a dry spell spiritually in the life of Israel. It seems to have been a sort of between seasons. Samuel was in seclusion, ministering, of course, but ripening for his greater work. He had to achieve maturity of life before he could be ready for the tasks that awaited him. Our bust ling day is impatient of these quiet times of preparation which come to men and to nations. Apparently the prosperous recent years of our na- j tional life have been a making ready for the great crisis which we seem to be facing. When the hour . struck, Samuel called the assembly of all the people to Mizpah. It was a summons to rally to the standard of Jehovah. He evoked their national consciousness as well as their dormant religious sentiments. The occasion revealed the patriotism of religion and the re ligion of patriotism; each virtue sup plements the other. The convocation at Mizpah was a national assembly as well as a religious revival. The flag and the Bible always go together. Every battlefront in the present war | reports a religious quickening. The two great thoughts of God and coun try are Siamese tvVins.

Just at the point when they are getting ready to shout, the preacher says some perfectly rude things about the church members who are the confederates of corrupt politicians and the bulwarks of bad "big" business, and straightway all the pleasure, goes from the revival for those who want their religion to be a sort of spiritual luxury, not con nected with the realities of every day. If you've got religion, reasons the evangelist, get out and work for God. If you haven't, hit' the trail. But before you go up the aisle you must be prepared to give up all that would be Inconsistent with the Christian life. One of the distinct contributions of ; "Billy" Sunday to the religious life of | our day is his excoriations of unright eousness. He is notably hard on the I ineffective church member, in the pul- I pit and in the pews. The limit of his rather extensive and effective vocabu lary is used in penetrating the self complacency of the professed Chris tian who is living in sin. Yet "Billy" Sunday could point to old Samuel on this occasion at Mlzpah as a prece dent. The Prophet demanded that Israel give up the worship of Baalim and Ashteroth, and turn with whole lieartedness to Jehovah. The bed rock of the message was that one J could not live in sin and be accept able to Jehovah. The holy God de mands righteousness. The "Big Meeting" Cheap and common criticism is flung at convention-going; yet if the convention is made a means, and not an end, it is a wise investment. Most Christians to-day need to achieve a j new horizon. They lack a knowl edge of the bigness of the enterprise j of which they arc a part, and of the joy of the larger fellowship. The memories of such a gathering are a rich spiritual inheritance that are as food through hungry years. The religious assembly or revival at Mizpah was epochal in the life of Israel, for it mellowed and fired the hearts of the people and made them ready for the great task lying just ahead. As coal, kindles coal, so this great gathering at Mizpah was set afire with a common sense of spiritual need. The truly religious convention Is an enemy of self-righteousness. The delegates at Mizpah confessed their sin in general and in particular. They broke up their idols and turned in penitence and in humble seeking to Jehovah. It was a real revival. Kilter the Enemy We may be very sure that when ever religion shows exceptional vital ity, then evil will militantly appear. When the people of God get together, then the Philistines are certain to come up, as they did at Mizpah. The forces of unrighteousness are never so vigorous as at the time of a revival. The criticism and slander and back biting that accompany a revival are enough to make one believe in even "Billy" Sunday's devil. At Mizpah the battle was inevitable. Conditions assured it then or later. The Philistine conquerors of the Jews, disturbed by this assembly, were ap proaching in full array. Now, how ever, they fronted people of different spirit, who had taken thought before hand for the fundamentals of religion and patriotism. "It must have been with feelings very different from those of their last encounter, when the Ark of God was carried Into the battle, that the host of Israel now faced the Philistine army near Mizpah. Then they had ! only the symbol of God's gracious presence, now they had the reality. Then their spiritual guides were the wicked Hophnl and I'hineas; now their guide was holy Samuel. Then they had rushed Into the fight In thoughtless unconcern about their sins; now they had confessed them, and through the blood of sprinkling they had obtained a sense of forgive ness. Then they were puffed up by a vain presumption; now they were ani mated by a calm but confident hope. Then their advance was hallowed by no prayer; now the cry of needy chil dren had gone up from God's faith ful servant. In fact, the battle with the Philistines had already been fought by Samuel on his knees." A first class war correspondent wrote this brief narrative of the bat tle: "And as Samuel was offering up II the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philis tines, and discomforted them; and they were smitten down before Israel. And the men of Israel went out of| Mizpah, and pursued the JPhlllstlnes, and smote them, until they came un der Beth-car." As the greatest Knglish poem which our generation has produced sings the refrain. "I,est we forget," to Samuel reared on the scene of this victory a monument saying, "Hither to hath the Lord helped us." Nations and Individuals need their Ebenezers. The past Is eloquent with the admoni tion "Remember." FEBRUARY 26, 1915. STOMACH FINE! INDIGESTION, GAS, SOURNESS GONE-PAPE'S DIAPEPSIN In five minutes!

In making this request, the railroads ask only that the people —after giving the sub ject serious thought and due consideration — give their views to their district represent atives and ask them where they stand on the matter. The railroads merely request the people to discuss the subject sanely, dispassionately, without fear, favor, bias, or prejudice. They have already submitted the case to the court of public opinion.
