HELP TO ANSWER YOUR OWN
PRAYERS.

In an editorial comment upon sTbt
Lords Prayer" the Religious Herald
of March Sd, has the following obser.
vations:
1t is a very remarkable fact that the
Lords Prayer contains not single
petition for any blessing which you
cannot help to bring to yourself
"Hallowed by Thy name" Well, you
are to school yourself to reverence for
the august name Of your Creator
"Tby kingdom come" You are to
work, and think, and plan, and give
for the establishing of righteousness
and peace and JOY in the Holy Spirit
here upon this earth. "Thy will be
DONE" &c. You must strive first to do
that will yourself, and thus make this
earth more like Heaven. "Give us
this day our daily bread" Be indus
trious and earnest in your everyday
work, and don't depend upon 1.-THE
government" to take care OF you; For
give us our debts" &c. Cultivate a
forgiving and gentle spirit towards
your nelghbors, and don't be or the
lookout for afronts. LEAD us not in
to temptation" Don't run .heedlessly
into it, but ''avoid it; pass not by it;
turn from it, and pass away" ODE
liver us from evil" or the evil one-i
g., the deviD. Then, do your best to
keep out of his way. Don't fool your
self with the wild, unscriptural, and
impossible crotchet that the devil is
nothing but "tte spirit Of evil in the
abstract" It was not an idiotic boy,
who, when his father. close-fsted
deacon, prayed that the Lord would
feed the poor. said; Father, if I had
your cOrn-crib, I'd answer my own
prayers And the principle has g
wider. application. We are too often
tempted to content ourselves with
lazily or stingily calling upon the Lord,
when our own hands should be ct the
pillow or in our pockets.

"THE FORCE oFAUr0NoMY."

The Havana correspondent Of the
Washington Star characterizes the at
tempt to give autonomy to Cuba by
Spain as n farce pure and simple. He
shows that the investiture Of the So
called Cabinet with 4 shadowy power
is thus far q mere matter of house
furnishing. while the administm ton
rcfratns from fixing any date for the
election Of the legislators who are to
pass laws for the government OF the
island-as far as they please the Gov
ernor-General appointed by the Queen
Regent. It Is plain from what the
correspondent Is told by officials that
the administration at Havana does not
propose to hold an election until it can
be assured Of q majority. AS soon as
1t knows that It Will be able to name
positively those legislators who may
be relied upon to act MS the Govern
mcnt dictates. then proclamation for
an election is possibly to be expected.
AS our contemporary observes, the
farce that Is being enacted at Havana
will fool nobody in this country, even
though that seems to be its sole pur-
pose.

The opinion obtains In Washington
among the shrewdcst political observ-

party. that Governor Bushnell and the
anti-Hunna Republicans OF the Ohio
Legislature have made It certain that
neither Mckinley nor any other Ohio
man Will head the Republican ticket in
1900. and that the State will be in the
Democratic column for some years to
come.
The Lowell News says that Car
Reeds friends are keeping quiet. but
they regard his chances for the Repub-
lican nomination in 1900 as having been
greatly improved by the Ohio Republl-
cans. There are reasons for believing
that Mr.. Mckinley also holds this
opinion.
The fact Is the country has not seen

even though Mr.. Hanna has been re-
elected, and Mr.. Speaker Reed muy be
the beneficiary Of the squabble.
