FALLAOIEs CONCERNING PRAYER.

The question which some still think
it worth while to ask, "Why does a
loving God, who knows our needs,
require us to petition for their sup
plyT both reveals the fundamental
misconception and brings into con-
trast the fundamental truth in re-
gard to the whole subject. DIR. Ed
ward Card has noted, as a strange
survival of the pagan mode of thought
among Christians, that some of them
still conceive of prayer as an attempt
to get God to do mans will, rather
than as an aspiration to get Gods
will done by men. Jesus has ex-
pressly cautioned us not to think that
either he prays or we pray for the
purpose of informing God about our
needs or inducing him to supply
them. What end, then, is served by
petitionary prayer for the things God
knows we need, and that he Wills to
bestow? Surely no thinker is una
ware that verbal expression has much
to do with both clearness of thought
and the concentration of attention
and will.
1t is reason enough for engaging
in petitionary prayer, that the con-
fession in words of our wants to God
enables and pledges us in clearer
consciousness to work out more rev.
erently and patiently the divine con-
ditions 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 today
the crude, primitive fancy of bending
she divine will into line with the hui
man is unworthy of any who profess
to keep abreast of the worlds ad-
Vancing intelligence. The true func-
ton of prayer is to lift 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
dedieating self more thoroughly to
divine ends, which can be accomp-
lished in the world no sooner or more
fully than men devote themselves to
their fulfillment.
Extravagant assertions of the power
of prayer for healing have brought it
into some discredit. But it is as wide
of the mark to say that prayer has no
power of that sort, as to say that it
has all power. Unqualified. indeed,
are ST. James's words: "The prayer
of faith shall save the sick, and the
Lord, shall raise him up" But of
course he did not forget that all must
die. That prayer will have a cura-
tive effect to certain extent, is the
only meaning fairly imputable to
him.. Every physician will say the
same, because he knows that auto
suggestion and expectant attention
have certain curative effect. When
bread pill produces the soporific ef
feet of morphine pill upon the pa
tient who takes it as morphine, what
we recognize is psychological cause
of sleep substituted for a physiology
cal cause. The bread pill is neces-
sary to bring the psychological cause
into action.-ReU. James, II. Wilton,

SERMON.
GREECE AND TURKEY.
BY REV. ALMoN GUNNIsoN, DID.

IN the First Universalist church, Wor-
cester, Mass, Sunday morning April .25,
Rev. DR.. Gunnison preached an interest
ing and timely sermon upon the theme,
1.-THE War between Greece and Turkey"
He began by speaking briefly of the char
acteristies of the two countries and their
influence upon the world and its civiliza-
tion. He then took up the causes of the
present outbreak and graphically pictured
the position of the European Powers rep
resented in the concert of nations, and Sc
verely arraigned them for their passive
attitude both in the present war and at
the time of the Armenian atrocities. We
print the substance of the sermon from
the Worcester Spy of the following Mon
day morning. -EDTToR.

confident that the University team will
again win the championship of the state.
Not much money will be venured on
the game until after next Saturday, as
the supporters of the Denver club want
an opportunity of comparing the work
of the two teams. The Denver team is

The blue sky was outrivalled by the
gorgeous colors of the grand stand.
Looking back from the sloping lawn in

huge flower garden-so gorgeous 1T
would have reflected credit on the power
of Aladdin's lamp.
The third race has been run now, and
for the next half hour intense excite

thousand hearts beat faster, and as
many tongues wag necessarily. The
lawn and paddock are depopulated, and
the betting ring becomes a troubled sea
of humanity, where 5000 men push and
elbow, are carried this way and that,
until the horses are at the post, and the
tide pours out again and covers the
lawn.
Never before in the history of the
track has such a scene been enacted in
the betting ring. The books could not
receive all the money offered in the short
time allowed and men went fairly crazy
in their efforts to place bets. The
muddy track and final entries had made

the stand they rush like a whirlwind,
throwing mud in all directions. What a
deafening roar arises from the lawn

eyes off the struggling horses for a
moment! Our flower garden has gone
wild. Parasols, handkerchiefs, hats
and canes-any old thing to wave. You
must do something to relieve that ter

THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAC

The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
In the heart of the Sierras. almost at
the foot of Mount Shasta, and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible to the tourist. The eligible
ity of the place selected was due TO a
rare combination of flowing water, IN
spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests
The Tavern of Castle Crag, with its
splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
a sumemr resort for health, recreation,
outdoor sports, sympathy with nature
and informal sociability. To empna-
size this intention and signify the klnd
of invitation extended, the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial journalism, and to realize this orig
inal conception, the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively family resort; and
especially attractive to those to whom
health. recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.
To this end rooms on the first and sec
ond floors of this splendid taXern with
board will be furnished at monthly
rate of 500 person: and rooms on the
third floor with board at a monthly
rate of $50 person.
The accommodations OF the Tavern
are first class in every particular. It's
parlors and halls are elegant and spac-
1ous. Its yerandas are cool and inyit-
ing, placing the guest always n the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
balcony of any tavern in the world
The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting, fishing, riding, BIZ
cycling, walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads The
Tavern is located Immediately on the
main trunk line of the California e.
Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
from Stockton, ten hours from Sacra-
mento, thirty hours from Los Angeles
and twenty-three hours from Portland
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time. Thestrain leaves
San Francisco at 8 o'clock D. M. arriv-
ing early the following morning for
breakfast, which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning. the
train time affords equal accommoda-
ton Thus both in going and in com
ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy of his time have been
studied. In brief, the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to its guests the perfect
ideal of that spring time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and is the COM
Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose.
