subject, "Does God Answer Prayer?" A
large audience was present. The lecturer
said that most people make prayer an after

thing. If sick, they run first for doctor,
aud next for mrister-tbe representative
of God. Such an idea of prayer, he said, is
false. Prayer is the uplifting of the soul
into the presence of God; it is not low.

Salt Lake Tribune;
A determined move on the part Of
all the strong lines in the United
States is being made TO drive scalpers
out OF business. As nearly - can be
learned the movement has been placed
in tho hands of the various associa>
tions with Instructions to drive the
scalpers to the y all. There is al ap-
parent unan,mity on the part of the
lines. but it 10 noticeable that in all
Gases the plan has been fought and
urged by the strong lines. One Of
the leaders Of the movement showed,
- among its first fruits, q telegram
from North Carolina. 1t is said that
= law had just been signed by the
Governor aud made effective, forb,d-
ding anyone to barter in railroad
tickets except that he were an author.
ised representative Of the company
whose tickets he sold. The same law
has almost passed in Minnesota and
within the next two years will b-
pushed before every State Legislature.
The movement toward abolishing un-
limited tickets and which is in fair
way to become effective through the
New York meeting is . par. OF the
general plan. A conservative esti.
mate places the yearly loss to rail-
roads on account Of the scalping busi>
ness At .$25. 100000.
I'VE hope that the anti-scalpers
will not succeed in winning over all
the Legislatures, nor any number Of
them. II the railways did not sell
the tickets far below their published
rates there would Do no tickets for
the scAlpers to handle. II the scalp.
ing business causes such heavy loss
to the always they can easily turn it
into profit by selling the tickets at
the same rates as the scalpers.-EDlr
