NOT AN ACTED LIE.
Rev. w. III. MoreIand Gives the True
Meaning of Prayer.

Rev. William FL. MoreIand preached at
st. Luke's yesterday on Prayer" his text
being, They asked him, Lord, teach us to
pray, and he said, When We pray. say our
Father"
sit is our very jealousy for Gods honor
that inclines us to be skeptical about his
hearing prayer. He is so great that we
wonder how he can listen to our little
affairs. Instead of bewildering the mind
with speculations go straightto Christ and
learn what he has said about prayer.
Bring what arguments you will against it.
Christ prayed That is enough. He was
the perfect wisdom. Therefore it can't be
foolish to pray.
Prayer is not a pious fraud, uttered for
the sake Of its effect on us, with 20 one
really listening. This would make it an
acted lie, and no good could come from il.
"Cbrist reveals all the secrets Of prayer
and banishes all it's difficulties in the
words Our Father We are to pray. be-
cause we are Gods children. Prayer is not
mendicancv. not the beggar stretching out
his hand for aims, but the loving conf
ience between parent and child. The true
child says 10 each new proposal, Walt till
| tell father To pray Is to talk with
God. The law of the family life is not
broken, because parents hear the eager
petitions of their children, nor is the order
OF the universe disturbed because the
heavenly Father listens 10 men.
"The object of prayer is not to change
Gods will. A boy who has weak, amiable
father, giving him all he asks, will cease
to respect him. God is true father. You
can't coax him. His will never changes.
No matter how we weep or whine. we
can't alter his determination. For his pur-
pose is all wisdom and bis will all love.
It's mistake to think God wants US to be
barely comfortable and not splendidly
happy. Prayer makes it possible for God
to carry out his will in US. Pray for
Gods will to be done, which Is the most
glorious happiness possible.
During the dark day In America some
years ago a little girl said. Mamma. let's
go to bed, Gods made mistakeP God
never makes mistake. however dark the
sky. Ths mistake is ours. not his.
ITO pray IN Chrisl's name is to pray in
spirit of universal fellowship. to ask not
for salfisn blessing. but fog what will
benefit humanity. Rain, prayed for in
Chrisrs name, is not to vet your acre but
for the general good. Prayer is the man.
Hest, most reasonable of acts--the fasten-
Ing of your lie to the eternal life. the
drinking Of the thirsty soul out of the
never failing fountain"

YACHTS EXISTING AND TO BE.
Active Yacht Building Going On at
Sessions Basin.

The yachting world is receiving addi-
tons at the rate of one week. The latest
took 10 the water yesterday at Sessions
Basin. Oakland. The event did not at
tract such a gathering as did the launch
ing of the Thelma, but it was more try
ing ordeal for the builders, as the eyes of
a whole navy (Oakland) were upon their
creation. They knew that If everything
was not keyed mp TO the proper pitch it
would be detected by these connoisseurs,
and the launching would go down in his
tory as failure.
But they did their work we'll and she
was sent on her course without a hitch
The last block was knocked from under
her at u 40 P. NJ, and she slid gracefully
into the water amidst such cheering as
only yachtsmen can give.
This new craft will be known as the
Phyllis. and was built by George Howet
for DIR. Pierce Jones of Suisup, from
which place she will hail. Her dlmen-
sions are 50 feet over all, q feet load water
line. IS feet 8 inches beam, draft 2 feet 6

The California Yacht Club installed its

incoming board started in on the good
work. The first thing on the carpet will
be a yachtSmen night at one of the local
playnouses. Then several radical i'm
prOVements will be made about the club
house. II is the desire OF the club that it
should be- known that the membership is
not lmithd TO yacht-owners, but that all
persons interested IN the sport will be
eligible. The barrier that has stood in the
way for the past year has been removed.
The first thing that presented itself for
ciby to the eye as one approached Ses-
sons Basin yesterday was the unsparred
craft lying at anchor within its waters.
It took but glance TO manifest The fact
that il was the forty-two footer Thelma.
She had been to wed from the city and her
owners were going TO 6t her out in these
quiet WATERS. Bet after meeting some OF
the members Of the California Yacht Club

out which was unoecupied.

he says, 'If indsed this De so it IS only be-
cause evangelism has been converted"
"Longfellow's associations were with
Unitarians. His father was classmate
of DR.. ChanningS. and he hiDselt held
intimate relationship with Theodore
Parker. Charles Sumner and other lea d.
ing Unitarians. Lougfellow's poetry is
full OF the loftiest expressions OF Uni
tartan theology and religion. ct IL Is
not denominational nor dogmatlc. de Is
not part of the theological reconstrue--
ton such as marks our time, nor yet of
the theological protest that marked the
time of Chanting, but of that middle
period where faith was content with It's
theological conclusions and bent upon the
things of the spirit.
Because Longfell0w was a poet OF The
spirit he has become Americas most
pouu lar singer. People of all creeds find
in his verse an expression OF their real
faith, which only shows bis truth and the
unity of all real religion.
"LoDgfellow is no philosopher. He has
given no new conclusions. If a single new
thought. He stands within the stream OF
Christian tradition, but he Is in the still,
clear. deep waier-aos on the rlfhes OF
cfeeds or he rocks of dogmatlSm.
"Longfellow looked upon poetry as
being essentially an inspiration. His
words came to him as the stream gushes
from the ground. He Is poet OF
humanity. His purpose was to look into
his own heart and write.
Yes. with life's deep stream!
All forms of sorrow and delight,
All solemn voices of the night
That can soothe or alright
Be these henceforth my theme.
"He is part of the noblest morality.
with strong emphasis upon character.
He Is a singer of an everyday religion.
The home Is a sanctuary. The Hanging
of the Crane should be read in every
household as a religious exercise every
week. He is the teacher of the religion OF
toll Labor unions and employers of men
should read The Village Blacksmith
and The Building of the Ship as
prayer before going to the weeks duties
and tasks.
"Longfellow sees God in all. Christ to
him is human ideal appealing to all men.
His trust is sublime. His words of con-
ISOLATION have been found numerous
enough to fill volume entitled Seven
Voices OF Sympathy Rls words on
death, familiar TO every mourner:
There is no death; what seems so is transition
Comforts the hearts of those even who be-
lieve in physical resurrection"
Mr.. Sprague declared that Longfelow's
religion could not be better EXPIRE ssed
than in his own words in the prelude to the
"Theologian's Tale" which he read in
closing. Next Sunday night DR.. Sprague
will take Whittier as his topic.

Director Burns, of the American
Railway Union says in regard to the

| road, that grievances of the men are
numerous and include the discharge Of
men with cause and a reduction of
wages. He declares the men feel that

managers. to wipe out organized labor.
He says the committee of the board of
mediation was refused by an audience
by an official of the Great Northern.
He believes a strike to be certain, un-
less the road receives and treats with
men, with regard to the probability of
strike being ordered In Chicago. In
case of one occurring on the Great
Northern, Burns said: ut is expected
that the members of the American

He believes the railroad managers
want to crush out organized labor, so
that in the event of lack of freight
receipts, they will be enabled to reduce
wages.
