Fallacies Concerning PRAYER.

The question which some still think it
worth while to ask, "Why does loving
God, who knows our needs, require us
to petition for their supply?' both re-
veals the fundamental misconception and
brings into contrast the fundamental
truth in regard to the whole subject,
writes Rev James NJ. Wilton in the MAY
Forum
DR.. Edward Card has noted, as
strange survival of the pagan mode of
thought among Christ ans, that some of
them still conceive OF prayer rs an at
tempt to get God to do mans Will, rather
than as an aspiration to get Gods will
done by men. Jesus has expressly eau
toned us not to think that either He
prays or we pray for the purpose OF in
forming God Iabout our needs, or Undue
ing Him to supply them.
What end, then, is served by petition
airy prayer for the things God knows we
need, and that He wills to bestow? Surely
no thinker is unaware that verbal express
sion has much to do with both clearness
Of thought and the concentration OF at
tention and will. 1t is reason enough for
engaging in petitionary prayer, that the
confession in words Of our wants to God
enables and pledges US in a clearer con-
seriousness to work out more reverently
and patiently the Divine conditions OF
their supply. Thus it is that through
prayer the individual will strives toward
unity with the Universal will.
TO impute to the leaders OF religious
thought to-day the crude, primitive fancy
OF bending the Divine will into line with
the human is unworthy OF any who pro-
fess to keep abreast of the worlds adj
vancing Intelligence. The true funct ion
OF prayer is to lit the will Of man
into line with the will of God.
This it does by its effect in clarity
ing moral insight, deepening reverent
convictions of responsibility, and ded-
eating self more thoroughly to Divine
ends which can be accomplished in the
world no sooner or more fully than men
devote themselves to their fultillment.

Our success in this world depends on
character, as we all see every day of our
lives. The man who succeeds succeeds
for the most part through character. 1t
is chiefly in character that Mexico differs
from the United States, Spain from Eng
land. Not only are all our religions and
PHILOSOPHERS really meant to build it up
or sustain it, but so also are all our social
arrangements. In hiring and contracting
and lending and crediting we rely on
character. In nearly every transaction OF
law it is on character rather than on law
that we place our faith. Why we are not
governed better is that in politics we pay
too little attention to character.

that human history considerably ante

"LORD" SCULLY.
One of the Largest Land Owners in
This Country.
Kansas City Journal.


A man of broad acres and many of
them was in Kansas City last night. He
was Lord Scully the largest land owner
in the United States, if not in the world.
Nobody but himself knows just how many
acres of land he owns, and he won't tell.
He said last night that it was nobody s
business but his own, though the Kansas
Legislature made it the business of that
body by passing a law prohibiting alien
ownership of land in that State. Lord
Scully, who, by the way. is no lord at all
got around this by taking out naturaliza-
ton papers. and he is now well on the way
to American citizenship.
William Scully. known all over this coun-
try as Lord" Scully, is credited with own
ing in the neighborhood of 100000 acres of
improved farm land his possessions being
scattered over the entire list of agricultural
States of the Union, especially In the great
Middle West, in Missouri Kansas, Illinois
and Ohio. He is on a periodical tour of in
spection of his holdings and will leave this
morning for Bates county, Missouri, where
he owns several thousand acres of the best
farm land in the State. Mr.: Scully is ac-
his agent, f. c. w. Koehnle of Lincoln.
Neb. The party is stopping at the Cen
tropolis.
MIR Scully, who has been given title
by reason of his immense land holdings.
is a tall. White-haired gentleman, advanced
in years. Very closely cropped side-whis-
kers thinly cover stout, typical English
face and bring into prominence strong,
determined jaw. He walks slowly and
with a decided stoop In manner he is
pleasant and companionable but allows no
meddling with his private affairs. His
homo is in Washington. d. G.
You will allow me the liberty he said
to a reporter for the Journal last night,
"of refusing to answer any questions which
l consider of a personal nature"
Then he branched off into an affable dis
sertation on the way to get rich
'All wealth." he said lis the result of

get to the top without touching any of the

Mr.. Scully said it was too early for him
to express any opinion as to the state of
his Western holdings. as he had not in
spected any of them for more than a year.
