Church Ordinances.

l remark again we must seek God
through church ordinances What, " say
you, cant man be saved without going
to church," reply, there are men, sup
pose, in glory who have never seen n
church, but the church Is the ordained
means by which we nrc to he brought TO
God, and II truth affects us when we arc
alone II affects us more nightly when we
are I'm the assembly, the feelings Of others
emphasizing our own feelings. The great
law Of sympathy comes into play, and
truth that would take hold only with the
grasp Of sick man beats nightly against
tho soul with thousand heart throbs.
When you come into the religious circle,
come only with ono notion and only for
one purposc-to find the way to Christ.
When / see people critical about sermons,
and critical about tones of voice, and crit
ical about scrmonic delivery, they make
mo think OF n man in prison. He is con
dcmncd Ia death, hut mn officer Of the gov
crnmcnt brings u pardon and puts il
through tho wicket Of the prison and says:
Here Is your pardon. Come and get It,"
What DO you expect me to tako that
pardon offered with such o voice rs You

you havcE would rather die than so COM

man does not say that he takes IL! II is

Value Of Prayer.


do not care so much what posture YOU
take in prayer nor how largo an amount
Of voice you use. You might get down on
your face before God, IL you did not pray
right inwardly there would bc no response.
You might cry at the top Of your voice,
and unless you had believing spirit with
In your cry would not go farther up than
the shout Of y plowboy to his oxen. Prayer
must be believing, earnest, loving. You
are In your house some summer day. and
n shower comes up, and bird nffrightcd,
darts into the window and wheels about
the room. You seize 1t. You smooth its
ru!licd plUmagc. You feel its fluttcring
heart. You say, Poor thing. poor thing"
Now, u PRAYER goes out Of the storm Of
this world into the window of God mercy,
and he catches IL. and he feels its 1utter-
ing pulse, and he puts it In his own bosom
of affection and safety. Prayer is u warm,
ardent, pulsating exercise. IL Is an clcc-
tric battery which. touched, thrills To the
throne Of God. Ii is the diving bell in
which we 80 down into the depths of God $

middle Of . rot too rcor1y cage, his first
feeling will r.5 oiy he one of disap-
point1.cat. Some OF this disappointment
must be put down to the highly exag.
gerated accounts of carly writers. The
lneasuremert Of 10 feet has been given
as the wing spread of a bird actually
killed and tapped. Darwin shot one In
1884 with IA wing spread of 3 feet q
inches, and it measured 4 feet from
beak to tail. The measurements of ono
that fell t H%umboldt's gun tally pretty
closely with those of the bird that Oar.

Part of the disappointment ID no doubt
due to the surroundings. One has form
ed vivid mental pictures Of the bird
sailing at q great height without an ef-
fort, soaring in graceful circles. or Gid
ing down like lightning upon its prey.
One sees it sitting with its head drawn
down between its wings, and its plum

over which to run to gather momentum
for q rise, ar height enough to fly if it
could leave the ground. Sometimes,
from the top of its perch, it attempts to
use it's wings, but its efforts result in
failure.
1t was long supposed that condors
hunted by scent. but experiments have
proved that the SENSE of smell i'm these
birds is by no means keen. They proba-
bly, discover their food by sight, and the
descent of one bird serves as a signal to
others at a distance.
A young condor is a much prettier OBJ

tirely in white down, and when ID set

THE LEGISLATIVE GRIND

The resubmission bill came up IN the
house much sooner than expected and
passed much easier than anticipated.
The vote, TO adopt the minority repor:
against resubmission was lost by the
vote of 81 to 40, three members, Two OF
which we're also resubmisslonists, being
absent. The majority report in favor OF
adoptinr the resolution for esubmission
will no doubt carry by u two-thlrds vote
when 1t up next IL is expected
the measure will come before h Sc nate
for action next Monday. The vote here
will tie closer. A glance at the names OF
those voting against resubmlsslon is
very significant, the Scandinavian ele-
ment largely predominating, while the
p~reponderance Of W other n~ationaiIties
Ia the list of the resubmisstonlsts is
equally significant. In the latter list is
found Drake OF Lake county while IN
the ranks of the ants rs found Shirley.

~islature shrewdly introduces a bill IN
both houses at once which is a good idea

tosee his name at the head of bill pre-
cludes the possibility of economy in this
direction.
