THE PRAYER MEETING.


We live in a world of poignant suffer
ing and crying need. Each heart know
eth its own bitterness and every
tongue, were it hidden to speak. would
a sad tale unfold. The innocent cry Of
the child is for more, more, more, and
the soul even of him who has all that
the world can give burgers and thirsts
for what the world cannot give nor
take away. The worlds suffering is
not all physical and its need is not
bread alone. Under the heaviest bur
dens Of this life throbs the undying
consciousness of the souls deep needs.
We have a commendable interest in
humanity and pardonable pride in the
future of our church. But If we would
best serve humanity and insure the fu-
ture of our church, we must equip it
for the great work of satisfying the
hungry soul and filling the sad heart
with gladness. No matter what special
lines of missionary effort are adopted.
the church viii never outgrow its God
given mission to minister to all of the
vital needs of men and to spread
abroad in the world it's comfort, its
solace and its inspiration.-Uniyer

To the Editor of The american:
Southern Caiifornia's orange crop IL
nearly all gathered and shipped; still
there are few thousand boxes left on
scattering treasures passed in the fruit
picking for various good reasons.
As mail orange blossoms TO my friends
your subscribers-most all months OF
the year, / am often questioned by
letter as to how am able to do so, be-
cause spring is the ripe-fruitage time.
The time Tor general poisoning OF the
orange is the latter part OF winter and all
OF the spring months. Orange trees are in
abundant bloom now, especially seed
lings, Most OF the navals have already
set TO fruit. Some late varieties of bud
ded stock will blossom later.
Some trees OF all varieties for many
good reasons-sueh as having their roots
affectedby lack OF water, or being GO
phered-b precocious and therefore
bloom out Of season; thus We can find the
fragrant blossoms Tor our letters to
friends in the fsr-off east most any time.
Trees may be full OF oranges and blossoms
at the same time. The tree may be " hite
with bloom and yellow with fruit, and
the atmosphere about 1t thoroughly
charged With aroma. P. q. WOOSTER.

THOUGHT FOR WASHING DAY.
The clothesline Is rosary
OF household help and care.
Each little saint the mother loves,
Is represented there.
And when across her garden plot
She walks, with thoughtful heed,
should not wonder If she told
Each garment for bead.
For Celia's scarlet stockings hang
Beside Amelia's shirt,
And Bilbe's breeches, which of late
Were sadly smeared with dirt.
Yon kerchief small wiped bitter tears,
For ill-success at school:
This pinafore was torn In strife
'Twixt Fred and little julie.
A stranger. passing, I salute
The household In its wear,
And smile to think how near of kin
Are love and toll aud prayer.
