PRAYERS AND RAIN.
DIR. Gibson Speaks of the Answer to
Elijah's Petition.

Rev. NJ. NJ. Gibson, ID, has been Civ
ing series of lectures at the First United
Presbyterian Church on "Elijah," and last
night, in connection with the prophets

of Rain in Answer TO Prayer. Is 1t Con-
sistent With Natural Law?'
He said:
"Elijah and Abab met on Mount Carmel
in time of great famine in all the land of
Samaria, Elijah is sent from Zarepheth
with the command: Go show myself to
Ahab and will send the rain Elijah and
a hab meet and then follows the great con-
test with the priests of Baal. Elijah then
goes up and enters the secret place of the
most high and pleads for the blessing.
Now, let US follow Elijah to his moun-
tain oratory. He went up TO the top of
Carmel and cast himself down to the earth
and pleaded for the fulfillment Of the
promise which God had given him. The
question may occur, What was the use of
his prayingP Not only hat be had the
assurance that God would send the rain,
but would it not come in accordance with
the operation of natural law. Here we
are face to face with a subject that the
materialism of this day scouts at. saying,
What is the use of praying" We do not
deny the regular movement of natural law
10 the answering of prayer. There is moth
ing mere IN the record TO make the answer
to this prayer miracle. The indications
of the coming storm were noted in the
sound of the wind. Get thee up says the
prophet to Ahab, for there is sound of
an abundance of rain Then if the rain
came by the due course of natural law,
Elijah's prayer and that rain were merely
Condolences.
e"If there was nothing more than Elijah
praying and the coming of the rain. we
might talk about condolences. But there
are other things to be taken into consid-
GRAFTON. When God made the world he
did not rule himself out of its government.
When he established the laws governing
the rainstorm he did not give them up to
the capricious element. He still sits on
the throne, high and lifted up.
Then again we have to consider the
promises that God has made to his people,
to hear and answer prayer-just as i'm
mutable as any of the expressions of his
will. Elijah had been acting on a promise
given him. and had evidently been praying,
and now when we put these things to-
gether. with God on the throne, his word
of promise given to the prophet. and the
act Of faith in his taking him at his word.
we say it is the merest absurdity to speak
of condolences. Or as some one remarks,
the greatest miracle of Gods providence
is that it is carried on without miracle I"

Mrs. Cooper's Class Lesson.

Just before the opening of the lesson OF
the Bible class at the First Congregational
Church yesterday Mrs. Cooper spoke of the
necessity of securing funds to make
happy Christmas for the little kinder
garten children.
A very interesting and spirited discus
sion brought out ideas in regard to family
life. Love is the great interpreter and re-
vealer in family life. Where love is want
ing all is wanting. Many a gifted little
child in the household has been doomed
from the Lack of that sort of deep love that
has insight. Some of the best and nobest
characters never disclose themselves ex-
cept in the sun shine of love. When homes
have more OF real joy in them there will be
more OF real virtue in the children, for
virtue kindles at the touch of JOY" In
answer to question about children tha
are naturally reserved and undemonstra-
tive Mrs. Cooper said: The only way to
understand such children and to secure
their confidence is to love them. In all

At the Second Unitarian Church last
night Rev. Leslie w. Sprague, the pastor,
delivered the second of his series OF
lectures on human rights. The topic OF the
lecture was ''The Rights of the Working

it would be better il our lawmak ers would

Mr.. Sprague then spoke of the rights of
women to work. Referring to the COM
mon cry that women are displacing men,
he answered by saying, "lne more that Is
produced the more there shall be for each
to eat and wear. Woman has right to
work if she wants to and to earn living II
she needs to earn il.
1.-The working people have right not to

selves. We recognize every man right 10

but heavy toll, long hours, unhealthy san

deny them every one of these.
MANY of the conditions or labor mean
death. 1t is estimated that while 1000
average people die, if the population were
all made up OF common workmen about
1000 would die. Under the present indus
trial system there is not mnch liberty
during working hours, and surely there is
little chance for the pursuit OF happiness
when one is Overworked.
1.-The laborer has The right to what he
earns. II is not wholly true that the rich
are growing richer and the poor poorer. 1t
is true the rich are growing richer faster
than the poor are. The condition of the
poor Is improving continually. Another
right Of the Door people is to have home.
Under the old domestic system most men
owned their own houses and worked in
their own shops. but under the factory
system each laborer being dependent upon
the employer for work, and not being sure
of any permanency, may not have his own

MT. Sprague. In closing, referred TO the

THE COMPANY ONE KEEPS.
Pastor HemphilI's Sapient Advice to
YOunp Men.

Young Men.
The address of Rev. Mr.. Hemphil at
the Calvary Presbyterian Church last
night was to young men on the danger
of Alliance With Bad Men," Jehoshaphat.
King of Judah, being the Biblical charac-
ter used to illustrate his topic.
"ShOuldest thou help the ungodly ?"
was the reproachful query Of the prophet
Jehu to the King. and these words the
speaker used for his text. Subsequently
the pastor said:
beware of the first false step. Je-
hoshaphat's first false step was his politI-
cal alliance with the house of the wicked
Ahab, King of Israel The first false step
leads 10 a second and worse. JehOsha-
phats political alliance led 10 a matri-
monial one-his son mrrried a daughter of
Ahab. We cannot arrest the consequences
of the evil we do. The evil resultant from
JehOshapbats alliance with Ahab went
on from generation TO generation. We
may repent of our sins, but we cannot
repent from the consequences of them.
when good man enters into an al
lance with a bad man the bad man
usually debases the good one. Ahab
pulled Jehoshaphat down, instead of it
always at the cost of great deal of use
fulness. The men of the world always re-
spect genuine Christians. but they are
quick to detect sham ones from real ones.
$50 much for the disease; now for the
remedy-what ought man to do who has
made such an alliance? First. what Je-
hoshaphat did. He repented of his sin
and brought forth fruits meet for repent
ance. He set to work at once to undo the
work he had done. A young Russian
czarOvitch had lived life of dissipation.
When his father died he turned 10 his
boon companions and said: There will
be no more OF this; am Gar of Russia
now So ought you to dO-bow politely
to your boon companions and tell them
you have had enough of it. When Wash
ington once crossed river he gave orders
to burn the bridge, so that there could be
no possibility of retreat. So you, young
man, cut off all chances of retreat.
'The second remedy is, ally yourself
with good men. Jehosaphat at once
sought out the cody men of Israel. He
sinned in public and his repentance was
public. If you keep company with bad
men while trying to live an honest, Chris
tian life you injure yourself and also in-
jure the cause of Christ. Don't be mere
cemp-follower in the great fight going on
between good and evil. There are not
many things worse than that indifference
which. while it is too honorable to betray
Christ, is too cowardly to follow him.
'Shouldst thou help the ungodlvp Many
of you are doing that without knowing it"

Our grandfathers were content to travel in
stage-coaches, to live in cabins and receive
a mail once a week. We demand palace

AMELIORATION OF SOCIETY.
Careful Conclusions of Wide Human
Interest Caught From City

AUTHORIZATION OF SOCIETY.

"Christ's test of discpleship" was the
subject of the sermon delivered yesterday
morning by Rev. George Edward Walk,
rector of Trinity Church, founded on the
words. IF you abide in my word then are
ye truly my disciple" Said the rector:
1.-THE apostle John gives us the clearest
view of the divine side Of our Lords per-
sonality. Christ had authortatively an
nounced himself as sent of God the Father.
He claimed to speak only the word of
truth, which he bad received from the
father. When the captious Pharisees
murmured at his sublime claim he re-
sponded, 'Ye shall die In your sins, for If
ye believe not in me ye shall die in your
sins.' He then proceeds TO foIetell his
mysterious lifting up whose wonderful
glory despite the apparent discontinue
and humiliation, would be afforded un-
doubted demonstration.
1.-The test of true disciplesbip is abiding
in the word of Christ. The Lord Jesus
knew the force of temptation. He knew
how hard would be the struggle awaiting
those who believed on him. They would
have to meet the scorn and opposition Of
their unbelieving feilow-men. And the
danger was that they would fall by the
way and 60 back and walk no more with
him. The words of the text, therefore,
become both an encouragement and a
warning. and like all Christs words are a
two-edged sword.
THE reasOnahleness of the test laid
down by Christ, is manifest, from the rec
OgnitiOD on the part OF the disciples of the
authority of Jesus as Lord. As Chris
tians we are pupils in the school of Christ,
and there can be no order and progress in
knowledge without submissive recogui-
ticn of the authority of the school
master.
1T follows as necessary result that
loving obedience to the word Of our Lord
is the only conclusive proof of loyalty.
When Jesus had delivered that new sys-
tenn of morals as Dean Howson calls the
sermon on the mount. he said: Every
one that heareth these words of mine and
dOeth them shall be lkened to a wise
man, and in his farewell counsels to his
disciples he urged the same weighty test:
of We love me. keep my commandments.
We are my friends. if We do the things
which | command you.
while the Lord Jesus was on earth his
disciples heard him speak his word of pre-
cepJ and command. The disciples of to-
day may not thus audibly hear his word.
yet that same word is transmitted to US in
the gospel. The apostles recorded the
words of Christ, the Holy Spirit brought
all things to their remem brance, whatso-
ever the Lord had taught them. and
guided them into all the truth necessary
for the institution of the church in all
ages.

SOCIOLOGY A STUDY.
Discourse on Social Amelioration by
Rev. w. ID. Williams.

Rev. w. ID. Williams.
The subject of Rev. w. d. Williams at
the Plymouth Congregational Church last
night was Social Ameloration."
He said in substance:
There are those who regard weakness
and wickedness as equivalent. To such
there is no distinction between the op-
pressed and the oppressor. All leaders of
Christianity have concerned themselves
with the problem of social amelioratiOn.
There is prevalent disposition on the
part OF the church to tighten the burdens
of the weak and stimulate the benevolence
of the strong. This is due 10 a current of
conviction emanating from the teachings
of Jesus Christ that the powerful should
help the down-trOdden.
