God can answer PRAYER. And man can
answer prayer. 1t is great mistake to
think that all reply to our petitions must
be left to Co.. A company OF men and
women imploring God to stir up the hearts
of his people to acts OF Christian generosity,
and meanwhile keeping back their means
from the treasury of God, is a spectacle to
make all evil angels smile. The best way
to get prayers for money answered is to an
swer them ourselves. God works by max
ing good example contagious. One gives
and another gives. A single generous soul,
fred with the ''passion of compassion"
eager to help, glad to make sacrifices, in
spires a neighborhood.
Sometimes prayer is pernicious Prayer
is a hindrance to the spiritual life whenever
it takes the place of action. Let us, BY all
means, pray. 1t is impossible that there
should be too much right PRAYER We
might pray without ceasing and yet not
pray too often-if we pray Alright. But
prayer which is pretense for idleness, prayer
which is but an indolent desire that God
should do for us what we are quite able to
do for ourselves-that is pernicious prayer
Helps Those Who Help Themselves.
God always does His part, but He never
does our part Sometimes God waits for US
to begin before He begins. When the peo-
pie of Israel, in the old story, were to cross
the Jordan, God purposed to helD them over
by making a path for them through the
midst of the water. But no path appeared
Down rolled the tumbling stream swelled
with ali the harvest rains, until the feet OF
the foremost touched the brink. We must
act, then God will act.
We pray, "Thy kingdom come" Every
day We say that prayer But what do we
expect that God will do in answer? Will
He cleave the heavens and come down 2
Will He turn into literal reality the glow
ing symbols of New Testament prophecy? 3?
Will He come in clouds, with myriads of
attendant angels, and somewhere, at Jeru-
salem or London or New York, sit upon His
golden throne of glory and compel the
homage of mankind7 How shall the king
dom come?
1t is evident that when the King came he
surprised everybody. Men looked ior
crown and scepter, or at least for sword and
buckler. The King would come, they
thought, in appearance like the kings of
Rome, Herod, an Augustus. But the
King came as q little child, born of OBJ

LIVES ON LACTATED FOOD
An Ohio Woman's Remark
able Experience.
"Only This Between HE and a
Death Of Starvation"
A.Oase That Is Exciting Much Intere st
Among Physicians.

COLUMBUS, o., June 22.-There is a
great deal of interest among physicians
in this section over the peculiar case of
woman residing in Monday, Hooking
county, little town few miles from
here.
Mrs. T. j. Wilson in May, 1890, had
an attack of fever which left her unable
to partake of the least article of solid
food. For months she was confined to
her bed. and lived on milk and hot
water with thin Cruel made of brown
-four. Existence in this way was kept
up for year, but she grew gradually
weaker. for nothing in the way of food
would agree with her debilitated stom-
ach.
IN March, 1884," said Mrs. Wilson to
your correspondent yesterday, "a friend
since then up to now it has been my
sole food. / do not exaggerate in the
least when l say it is the only thing
between me and death by starvation.
For | have tried all of the sO-called i'll
valid foods, but nothing agreed with
me and gave me strength like laetated
food. l have gained in strength ever
since l commenced taking this food.
Perhaps" continued Mrs. Wilson,
growing enthusiastic, 'some may doubt
this statement, but l can give all the
proof required that if l had not found
lactated food l should have been in my
grave ere this; at least, that is what the
physicians tell me-
The physicians in Columbus recon-
mend this food highly and agree in
stating that it is the most readily di-
gested and the most nourishing diet
that can be given to those whose diges-
ton is weak, whether they be infants
or lnvalldS, young or old.

After Much Discussion the
Silver Bill Is Laid Over
Without Action.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The filling
of the vacancy of the craftsmanship of
the national Republican committee,
caused by the resignation of Mr.. Clark
son. is giving the president considera-
bic trouble. 1t is known that the pres
ident has expressed preference for
Land Commissioner Carter above all
others mentioned in connection with
the craftsmanship, and Mr.. Carter would
readily accede to the presidents wishes
were it not for the mixed condition OF
politics in Montana. Mr.. Carter is not
at present a member of the national
committee, and unless some deal
Is made for his representation
on the committee from Mon
taEa it would be impossible for
him to receive the election OF chairman.
Mr.. Carter had been considering the
matter for some time, and for that rea-
son went direct from Minneapolis to
Montana to learn the complexion of
political affairs in his seat. If he deems
his presence unnecessary in Montana
this fall. the representative from Mon
tana to the national COMMITTEES will re-
sign, so that Mr.. Carter may succeed TO
the place, and thus be eligible to cleo
ton as national chairman. He will not
return to Washington until next Mon
day. the day the national Republican
committee meets in this city, so that
no action will be decided upon until he
reports to the president the condition
OF political affairs in Montana.

After Much Discussion the Silver
Bill Goes Over.

After Much Discussion the Silver
Bill Goes Over.
WAsHINGToN,Ju June 22.-In the senate
today the silver bill was taken up. Mr..
Perkins (Rep.), of Kansas, opposed the
bill. Senator Stewart (Rep.). of Nevada,
replied to Senator Perkins. and recalled
a speech by the latter in the house in
1880 in which he favored free coinage.
MIR. PETER IF. A. said that the men
who titled the soil. who own the best
security. are not able today, speaking
generally, to borrow money at less than
per cent. In some cases, money could
be obtained on frSt-claSS security at b
per cent. but what was the poor farmer to
do when his security was not first-class?
Mr.. PETER told a case where a Kansas
farmer wanted to borrow money for
ninety DAYS. He was asked 4 per cent
per month, and finally secured II at 5
per cent per month. Such was the eop-
ditIon of affairs. The revolution of the
farmers came in the wake Of the usurers
and was not originated for the benefit
of demagOgues.
Mr.. Aldrich rep. of Rhode 1sland)
reiterated his statement that any farmer
or anybody else could get money at a
reasonable rate of interest. Under the
circumstances named by Mr.. PetIer s
per cent was not an unreasonable rate.
If any senator in the chamber, he said.
wanted to borrow money at 6 per cent
he (Aldrich) would guarantees to get him
the money. Six per cent, he added, was
not an unreasonable rate. 1t was all a
freak of the imagination of certain gen
tlemen that such terrible state existed.
Mr.. Higgins (Rep., OF Delaware),
said he had been told that moneyed men
in the Northwest were forced to send
their money to big cities to loan, not
being able to obtain adequate security
for it from their farming constituencies.
The discussion was participated in by
more than a half-dozen senators, and
which lasted till about O'Clock, when
the bill was laid aside without action.
