Topic, Occupation For the New Year.
sCRPTURE READING Prov. xi, 80: Dan.
xiii 3
Soul winning is the most import
ant business of every Christian.
Every follower of Jesus is mis-
siouary. The command to "go into
all the world and preach the gospel
to every creature is binding on every
one who processes to serve God.
The Master declared that che that is
not for Me, is against Me-" Neu-
trality is impossible to any one.
Decision for or against the claims
and commands of God is inevitable.
The command to repent and serve
the Master comes to each and must
be met by refusal of obedience or
by compliance. Resistance is sin,
acceptance is salvation.
The natural consequence of re-
fusing to yield to Gods call to serve
is hardening of the soul i'm wrong
courses, the strengthening of sinful
habit, weakening the hold of the
soul upon good and loss of its pow
er to know and love and do the
right. Every prompting TO duty
which is resised cuts a strand in the
cable of in tegrity which holds one
to the anchorage of safety. No on e
can afford to trifle with conviction
or turn a deaf ear to the voice of his
inner sense of duty.

Topic For the Week beginning Jan. 2.

Comment by Rev. s. II. Doyle.
ToPIc, - How to pray Luke XII, 1-1s.
"a meeting of preparation for the week of
prayer.)
The topical reference contains
Luke's account of what is commonly
called the Lords Prayer. Matthew
places the Lords Prayer in the SER
mon ON the mount, but there is no
reason why it should not have been
given twice. In the first instance,
in that general address of Christ,
and in the second at the request of a
disciple, as Luke records in this
passage.
Christ and prayer are here
brought closely together, and we
look at the topic in the light of
Uhrist's relation to prayer.
/. Christ's habit of prayer. The
incident of the lesson is brought
about as result of Christ's habit of
praying. He not only held constant
soul communion with God, but Of
ten engaged in positive, outward
prayers, and on this occasion, when
He ceased praying, one of the dis
ciples asked Him to teach them to
pray as John taught his disciples
Christ was always faithful in pray.
er. In the great crises of His life He
agonized in prayer to God. In the
more quiet and less important mo.
ments of His life He found time fol-
constant communion with God. II
Christ needed to be faithful in pray.
er how much more we need to be
2. Christi s model of prayer. In
answer to the que tion of the dis.
ciple Christ gave as model and
form of prayer the Lords Prayer
Ii has since stood as the model oi
prayer and has been universally
used as a form of prayer. While
not given to the church for the pur
pose of co slant repetition, there il
no reason at all why it should moi
he used often as form of prayer
One characteristic of this prayer il
it's filial spirit. Christ teaches us herr
to address God Father when Wi
come to Him in prayer, and thii
should encourage us to come. An
other characteristic of this prayer j
that God comes first, the petitione
comes second. There are five peti
tions in Lukes account of the Lord
Prayer. Two of tn ese five pertain
to the cause of God, and they com
first Three refer to the wants o
man they come last, In prayer, "a
in everything else, we should plac
God first and self second. The in
terests of His kingdom, the ad
vancement of His cause, should &C
cupy the first place in our thought
and hearts desire. Our per
sonal needs should occupy a second
ary place. Too often we reverse th
order and look upon prayer simpl
,, as a petition to God for persona
blessings.
3. Christ's encouragement {
prayer. He encourages us here b
the parable of the man who by hi
importantly obtains the loaves TO
J his friends at midnight, and again b
r the declaration that if we ask W
J shall receive. Let us take Christ

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Sept. 27.-The stock market.
today. showed a very marked falling off
in activity, the total sales of stocks
reaching only 100000 shares. The dimin-
ished activity was in part due to the OBJ
servance of the Jewish New Year holiday
by many brokers and operators. Prices
rose after the opening in sympathy with
the quotations received from London and
there was buying also for London account
here. Later some traders professed to be
disappointed at the size of the increase
shown in the August gross earnings of
Omaha and that stock was sold down
sharply.
Rock Island was one of the stocks I'M
der special pressure. The market re-
ceded below Saturdays close under these
influences. the decline in Rock Island ex-
tending to ~, but only to fractional
amounts in other stocks. There was also
a recession from the best at the close, so
that the extreme advances during the day
considerably exceeded the net gain. The
market advanced in the afternoon to the
highest point of the day. The money mar
ket continued to attract the greatest
share of interest, as the future course of
speculation is felt to largely depend on
the supplies of money.
The tone of the market was somewhat
easier. today but there was little de-
mand. Shipments of currency to the in
terror continue in large volume and it is
believed this demand will not be ex-
hausted for some time yet. 1t is believed
that further contraction of loans to
considerable amount will be necessary TO
provide against the Withdrawals for use
in the interior. In looking Ior relief from
possible stringency to imports of gold, 1t
is felt that the comparative ease Of the
London money market must be considered
in a measure fictitious. the rate being
kept down with the purpose of aiding the
Indian government in floating its loan
The foreclosure sale of the Union Pa
cific and the withdrawal of 100000 go or
$40 O00 900 of cash which it will necessitate
is a matter that looms in the perspective
of the money market situation. Under
these conditions it is believed that there

ton of activity in stock speculation as
has characterized the market for many

GET WELL AND STAY WELL.
Get RID Of What Makes You Sick
and Stay Rid Of 1t.

1t Is so simple to be well that we won-

Come to think about 1t. must be be-
cause they don't know what's made them
sick.
II they knew that. they could prevent
1t, and when they were sick, in some cas-
es cure themselves. But, so long as we
don't take more care of our health, we
shall always be more or less sick.
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indi-
gestion. Cure it with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. A stomach full Of undigested,
fermented. putrid food is the unhealthiest
thing you can think of.
Half our diseases and troubles come
from the poisons of undigested food
More than half of them could be cured
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half. because often when we
think We are sick we are only weak, and
a course of nourishing food digested
without effort by the stomach with the
aid of Shaker Digestive CordiaD would
reinvioorate the whole system and make
us well. y n Nooe

A special meeting of Kennebec Pomo-
ma Grange was held with Manchester
Grange. Sept. %. The day was perfect
and there was a large attendance. The
meeting was called to order by Overseer
f. c. Drummond of Winslow, who called
Past Master j. Fl. Barton to the chair.
The Pomona degree was conferred in
full form upon SO candidates.
After dinner w. l.. Twitchell called for
music by the choir, then followed an in
teresting paper on "Woman's Work in
the Grange by Mrs. Annie E. Gray of
ReadfeId. This was followed by remarks
on the same subject by Mrs. Mayo of
Manchester. A song by Miss Higgins of
Manchester Grange followed. Then w.

Manchester Grange occupies the town
hall in which to hold its meetings and it
was very neatly decorated for the occasion
with evergreen flowers and notices. A
fine display of vegetables on front of
stage made it really grange fair. An
onion of immense proportions from either
Brother Mayo or Brother Willis Mace's
herd found it's way to our table, and
we actually shed tears when we realized
we could not bag it and be carrying
out the principles of the order.
The papers and remarks were very well
received. Brother Cook and Hunton re-

an able effort. Hon. D. Fl. Thing, Willis
