ARE OUR PRAYERS ANSWERED?

j The Presidents Death Cited in a West
ern Observation-Disclosures Preacher
Calls II Proof That Appeals to God
Are Not Effectual-othcr Preachers
Protest-The Breaking Of the prouth
| in the West After Day Of Prayer
for Rain.
/ A controversy Is in progress in the
secular and religious press of the west
over the old question. Are prayers an
swered? Special interest is given to the
present discussion because one OF the
leading ministers Of Lincoln, Neb.. the
Rev. ). Luther Marsh of All Souls
church. denies that answer to prayer is
made.
Last July when the state was drought
stricken. the Nebraska governor, follow
ing the example of the chief executives
of adjoining states, appointed day of
special prayer for rain. Three days la
ter the first rain in three weeks fell. At
that time the question was raised in the
press.
Preachers generally took the ground
that the rainfall was the best proof of
the affirmative that could be secured
Now Mr.. Marsh has fatty declared that
the negative is proved beyond doubt by
the failure of the prayers of the nation
on behalf of its stricken president.
AS another proof that prayers are in
effectual Mr.. Marsh cites the condition
of the Beers, whose prayer for success
are an inspiration to them and do give
them remarkabl power of persistence;
nevertheless they are being overborne
by physical strength. Prayer, he ad-
mits, is the natural refuge of overpow-
cred man. 1t is his first impulse to seek
protection. But most prayer is unwise
and egotistic. He says:
The calling on God to help others, as
If we could induce Him to be more kind
and good and abundant In his love to-
ward this, that or the other person, Is an
impiety itself. What is the use of all
this praying, when we know that the
infinite wisdom and love of God does not
need any information or beseeching
from US? If he could be changed by our
beseeching Hewo uld not be worthy OF
our reverence.
so far as physical things are con-
cerned, we obtain them by obeying the
conditions under which they come.
What has come to man that he has
asked for came only when he worked in
harmony with the laws of growth and
nature. The prayer that has been eff
fective has been the prayer which has
been expressed by active industry
working in accord with natures laws.
drought is result OF natural condi-
tons but it Will not be by prayer that
It's evils will be avoided, but by the Wis
er and far-reaching use of the materi-
ais and force of nature. We ask day
by day for our daily bread; we seek Il
knowing there is a way II we but follow
it.
But recently the whole nation was
called upon to offer prayers for the re-
covery of the wounded president. But
tho at first they seemed to have been
answered in the hopeful symptoms of
the patient, that hope was suddenly
turned into doubt and mourning at the
fatal result.

cerely believes that the prayers which
were offered had any influence upon
the physical causes which produced his
death. These causes We're put into oD-l

coNvERTED THE OLD BELL.
Priests Explanation to a Presby- terian of Bow It Became
 Truly Consecrated.

For many years Father Boyle was one of the most prominent and popular Catholic clergymen in Washington, where he had a great reputation as wit. Many of his most intimate friends were Protestants and members of the Protestant clergy. A few months be- fore his death he erected a missionary chapel down by the navy yard and bought at junk shop an old bell which had been discarded by one of the Pres byterian churches. He sent the bell to a foundry in Georgetown and had sew eral inches of metal pared off the rim. Having thus got rid of crack the lslrsh and discordant tones of the bell became short and sweet. Meeting Presbyterian parson not long after, Father Boyle called his attention to the change and the latter could scarce ly believe it was the same bell. What in the world did you dowith that belf?' inquired the Presbyterian pastor, "to cause such change in the tone?" "We blessed it and blessed it until we got the Presbyterian devil out of it,'' re- torted Father Boyle, "and then it sounded all right"
