sspie Tor tho Week beginning Jan. O.
Comment by REV. $. II. Doyle.
Top1c.-Thc week of prayer What shall it
mean to usY-u Chron vi, 1921, al-S]; vii l-1
Tho Scriptural references used to il
rustrato tho topic are taken from Solo
mons prayer at tho dedication of his
.emple in Jerusalem. This was u very
important work, and it was proper that
Gods house should be dedicated to him
in prayer. Prayer is suitable at all
times, but specially so at important pc
RODS of life. Jesus Christ Himself,
when upon earth, set us an example of
this kind. Before every important event
in life he spent much time i'll prayer.
Just before choosing the twelve apostles,
a most important act of his life, he
spent the entire night i'll prayer, and
Immediately before tho crucifiXion in the
sartlen of Gcthscmane he agonized in
prayer with God. The week of prayer is
an important period. 1t is the first week
Of new year. 1t is usually the intro.
dnction to series Of evangelical meet
inSs. looking forward to tho reviving
of the church and the conversion of
sinners. 1t may well, therefore, be
spent in prayer and supplication to God
far His blessing, and we may do well to
consider the question, What shall it
mean for us? following the suggestions
of our topical references:
/. 1t should mean week of suppli-
cation to God II Chron. vi, 1S-2D.
Here Solomon simply pours out his soul
to God in prayer and calls upon tho
Lord to hearken unto his cry. This
should be the leading characteristic of
this week. 1t should indeed be week
of prayer. Too often this element is
neglected, and from the very start the
aim is to lead men to Christ, so that it
Is not week Of prayer, but week of
gospel services. Valuable as these are,
this is not the object in this week. 1t
should be spent principally in prayer,
and the other can easily follow.
2. 1t should mean prayer for self,
and also for others (II Chron. vi, go
S5l- Here Solomon prays that God will
hear and answer the prayers of the peo-
pls as each one prays for his individual
needs and wants, and also that no will
hear and answer the prayers of the
strangers who come to tho temple to
worship. In the public services during
this week self should not be forgotten,
and we should also remember in our
prayers all for whom it is our duty to
prHy.
8. 1t should mean a week of answers
to prayer (I1 Chron. vii, 1-3) Here we
have the answer given to Solomon's
prayer. God comes and takes possession
Of the temple So we should want our
prayers to be answered, and they will
be if we pray in faith, believing that it
shall be done unto u.s.

Should sorrow DER thy brow
Its iarkcned shadows fling
And hopes that cheer thee now
Die in their early spring;
Should pleasure mt its birth
Fade like the hucs OF even,
Turn thou away from earth;
There's rest for thee in heaven.
II ever lifo shall seem
To thee n toilSomo way
And gladnCsS cease to beam
Upon its cloudcd day;
IT, like the weary dove,
O'or shOrcloss ocean driven,
Raise thou thino eyes above;
There's rest for thee in heaven.
But, Ohi IL thornlcSs flowers
Throughout thy pathway bloom
And guyly fleet the hours,
Unstaincd by earthly gloom,
Still let not every thought
TO this poor world he given,
Nor always be forgot
Thy better rest i'll heaven.
When sickness palcs thy check
And dims thy lustrous eye
And pulses low and weak
Tell of time to die,
Sweet hope shall whisper then,
"Though thou from earth be driven,
There's bliss beyond thy ken;
There's rest for thee in heaven"

Danger Avoided.

There is danger frequently in socie-
ties which become large and influential
that they be made to serve financial ends,
for which they were never intended, and
so their true purpose be thwarted or
hindered. 1t was wise in the board of
control at the meeting in Boston, in
view of all circumstances, to adopt this
resolution:
'That we deem it unwise and uncon-
stitutional for any individual member
of the board or any member of the cab
met to give direction to the financial
policy of the League other than that di-
reoted by the board" "

SILK From tine spider.

An authority on silk is quoted as ex,
pressing the belief that if it coul be
h.ained in quantity, silk from spiders
,,is-ht be packed in bales and sent to
s.ei.,pe, where it would readily find q
ts,a...xet for being carded and spun into
Sill. threads for sewing or weaving
purposes. The fact that it would be
d:tiicult to procure the web free from
dirt would detract from its value as
compared with genuine silk waste, but
still q price could be obtained that
would pay for the trouble of collection.
The spider from which it is purposed
to obtain the silken mass is tropical
variety, which distributes it's silk IN
treat abundance on low plants and
,thrubs. 1t is suggested that 1t would
lie possible, with a little trouble, to
form u spider farm for the purpose of
producing this silk In the greatest pos.
llble perfection and abundance.

NEW WAYS TO CATCH FISH.
Imitation of Tiger Trap and Elec-
trio Light Devices.

limitation of a Tiger Trap and Elec-
trio Light Devices.
Some novelties in the way of fishing
devices are being tried on this years
run of weakfish. One of the most
striking Of them is due to William Il.
Lamb, of East Greenwich, r. l., an old
fisherman who has for many years
had The idea that more fish are to be
caught by schelning than by real hard
work and broiling in the hot sun. His
invention is adapted from the tiger
trap of India. Thel latter consists of
large cage in which is placed mirror,
and beneath the mirror the body of
Il freshly-killed goat. The tiger is at
3tracted by the smell of the fresh blood
and sees himself in the mirror, and
thinking it is another tiger trying to
get ahead of him leaps into the cage.
Then down comes the heavy lid and
he is trapped. Mr.. Lamb takes a mir
ror. preferably oval in form, and
about is inches long, which is attach
ed to the line by means of q ring in
a little distance on each side of the
mirror, and has at each end a ring to
receive an auxiliary line with hook
attached so as to hang down to about
the center of the mirror. A fish COM
ing up catches sight of it's reflection,
and the theory is that it will dash at
the bait, and hook itself all the faster
in the attempt to get ahead of the 9th
Ser fish. The inventor says that he has
already tried this scheme successful
~. He proposes to experiment with
three sided mirrors with a view eff still
further increasing it's efficacy.
The electric light is likely to play a
big part in the fishing of the future.
"A Mr.. Trouse, of Albany, has in pre-
SparatiCn net which is operated with
an electric light. The light is placed
in position and the rets are set either
to seaward Of it or around it, fiat upon
the bottom. When the fish are attract
ed to the light a rubber tube, which
runs along the top of the net, is in
f1ated by pump in the boat, and the
upper edge of the net will rise to the
surface, the lower edge being held
down by suitable sinkers.
/ Another novelty is a very taking
.weakfsh rig, evidently modelled on the
sun rig of three seasons ago. 1t is a
Pinch bar with swivel in the center
and at each end is another swivel
which is made to work easily by a
tiny glass bead. This will keep the
two hooks we'll separated, and is a
good 1Oc worth. Still, another item is
..sthe fsherman's FRIEND" pair of
large grab scissors, intended to grasp
an eel, to hold the head of an ugly and
awkwardly hooked blufish, to avoid
the spines of a sea bass or perch, to
open clam shells, and last, but by no
means least, to lift pots and pans off
the camp fire. Then there is a bait
box, which slips on the belt and fits
the body. Rubber finger covers are
prepared for the tender-skinned city
man who goes bluefshing and does
not want to get his fingers all cut to
pieces in the time-honored style.-New

(From the North Dakota Independent
AS there has been considerable Of
comment on the action of the State
Board of Equalization in the matter
of taxing railroads thought 1 would
give you some of my experience in the
matter as member of the board under
Governor Shortridge. By referring to
the report of the board of 1894 you will.
see that voted with the governor,

the taxes on railroads. I don't know
whether the rest of the board were ac-
knowledged populists, but am pop
ulist first, last and all the time, as i
believe the ex-governor, auditor and
attorney general to be. When Cover
nor Allin was selecting the board this
year called his attention to my work
on the former board and expressed nv
intention of continuing in my work
against railroads, but Notwithstanding
all this he removed me and appointed
one in my place who is friend to rail

There are lots of calamity howlers

crop. With oats at this writing 9

to the fact that there is something
very wrong and are commencing to
study. hope we can get few good
speakers up here to explain the situa-
ton and if they are true patriots, and
think anything of their home and
country, they will vote the populist
ticket in 1896, and break this gold
