DIR. DoUcLAs says General Grants

DIR. DoUcLAs says General Grant'sl
disease is progressing steadily, and
the skill Of the physician cannot stop
it's progress. On the other hand Par
son Newman, who believes in the eff
6cacy Of prayer, is confident that the
General will be restored to health.
The parson evidently has a big soft
spot somewhere in his Uranium. II
General Grant gets well, which is not
at all probable, his return to health
will not be because Of the prayers
that have gone up in his behalf.
Prayers will stop the progress Of dis
ease just about like water and the
regular established form Of clerical
monkey business will wash away sins.
All humbuggery. But very few Chris
tlans, even, in this enlightened age,
have any faith in the prayer remedy.
For the cure of disease they gener-
ally call in physician. If Grant
does recover, Parson Newman and all
others who have been praying that he
may be restored to health, will con-
graduate themselves heartily on the
powerful influence they have with the
Almighty, and how they will swell
out! Just think of it! How all
powerful must these praying ones be
S or how all-powerful they evidentl,
j imagine they are, to think that the.
e can change the plans of the Suprem
e Being of the Universe. 1t would no
$ be at all surprising if these soft-head
le ed divines (?) would announce tina
they had been admitted to practic
before the Most High Court, an
is would plead before that High Trlbr
* nal at SO many dollars per plead, an
ne the bigger the case the bigger tn
n fee. The Supreme Judge Of the Tn
n verse, with the advice and instruction
Id of these pleaders, would better unde
IT. stand how to act. Come to think
it, isn't there already regularly a
be mitted practitioners those wi
claim to have been admitted to pra
" tice before that higher court, al
ar don't they require fees, or salary,
III. compensation? It is contrary to t
:, established order of things for t
49,, weak to have much influence with t
IN strong, in point Of wisdom. DO the
pleaders at the Heavenly Court i
agine that the Almighty is sadly lac
on ing in wisdom and will-power, or
UNI they grasp the fact that He is l
E. mighty, the Supreme Power, and
of uuires no counselors, and has no
mt If they grasp that fact, they sur
ore must imagine themselves bigger N
ave than the Creator. Are they so fo
ok ish as to believe that the Almigl
oal- will act according to their advice?
not, do they imagine that they arr
little smarter than the average ran
lay humanity, and seek to ''bambooz
OF the a. +. of h. and thereby make

figures show that for the eleven months

the United Kingdom from the United
States were 81 and 49-I0O per cent
against AZ and sT-lO0 per cent for The
same period the previous year. and IS

substantial contradiction to the position
taken that the United States was in
danger of losing its grain trade. The
Produce Exchange markets exhibited
unusual activity and strength yesterday.
Transactions in grain were very heavy

sharp advance in prices look place, with
wheat still leading in The upward move

point, December 18th, an advance OF
about IL cents. Prices are still about
20 eents lower for wheat than a year ago.
