Temperance in India.
The Maharajah of Baroda, India, re
Gently manifested his interest in the pro-
gress of temperance work by issuing a
mandate to the effect that no new liquor
saloons should be opened in future with
out the sanction of the presiding official
He also provided that if ive-sixths Of the
house owners and inhabitants should

the necessary order.
Give Us Our Daily Bread.
Give us this day our daily bread. Matt II,
Not bread for tomorrow, or next month,
or next year, but bread for today. Oul
heavenly father wants us to come to him
every day, and get our bread from his hand
fresh. He wants to have us talk to him
daily about the things we need, as We
like to have our children do with us. l:
is trying to get our bread too far in adj
vance, without regard to God that keeps
the world full of sin and trouble The
mau who robs q bank wouldn't do it, II
he looked to God daily for his support
The saloon keeper and the gambler, the
forger and the harlot, turn their faces
toward the pit because they do not look
to God for their daily bread. The man
who asks God for his bread, will also ask
b is blessing upon the means by which he
is to obtain it, and an honest prayer in
the morning will be sure to end in az
honest days work. If We pray right We
shall be sure to do right. Another thing
When we make true prayer for our own
bread, we ask God to feed the world, and
that makes 1t impossible to take LOAF
from another that does not belong to US.
To pray this prayer with the heart will
make US brotherly, diligent, prudent,
economical and thoughtful. 1t will make
us active in both hand and mind com.
passionate toward the poor and willing
to make sacrifices for the good of others.
No loafer or dishonest man can offer this
petition.
