WINDS OF CALIFoRNIA-M. A. Keso,

the coast climate Of California are from the

are often predominant. 1t might be said
that there are no east winds, the lofty
mountain ranges preventing any general
current from that quarter. the winds In
California appear to belong to three sys-
tens, % the sea breeze, dependent on in-
land heat and ocean cold; ~ the land winds
from the north, which sweep through the
entire State in the winter and are confined
to the interior in summer, being cold in
winter and hot In the summer. but alw avs

THE LORDS PRAYER-B. C. D., City.
Bishop Kip thus refers in his Double
Witness Of the Church." pages 126 and 127,
to the source from which the Lords Prayer
was derived: John the Baptist had taught
his followers to pray by set form, and the
little household Of believers who had gath
cred around our Master and composed the
early church requested him also to do the
same. Their petition was luke KID:
Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught
bis disciples. And what did he answer?
Did he tell them in all cases tn trust to the
passing feelings of the moment and 10 shun
as GOODNESS everything which is not extern
poraneous? No. He at once prescribed
that form now known as The Lords Prayer
and which the church has since in all ages
continued to use in her worship 1t is a
most striking fact that every single sentence
in this prayer is taken from the Jewish lit
urgies with which the disciples were al
ready familiar, so lar away, says GrOtus,
was the Lord himself from all affectation of
unnecessary novelty" Bishop Kip further
states in note on page 127 that abundant
proof Of the statement made above can be
found in Lghtfoot on Matthew tx 49, and
the works of several other learned men; re-
feTring also to HOrne's Introduction to
