| AL al uhiclC dSdlIiSt prayer tutV uo-
pends for it's force upon the putting of
fetch worshippers and Christians OH
one common plane, in Christian Ameri-
ca, needs no answer. We have our eyes
open.
But to come up close to the question:
"Has prayer produced rain? If so,
when and whereof
1 am not lawyer, but I think that
there is rule of law that demands that
the very best evidence shall be intro
duced, possible to be obtained, and so,
passing by the "church histories and
church almanacs," put in evidence,
the Bible-a book containing the truest
science, the profoundest philosophy, the
Will of God.
If do not mistake it's teaching, it is,
in substance, this: God anciently, on
account of the sin of His people, did
shut up the heavens so that it rained
not, then, upon their repentance, and,
after offering earnest prayer to Him, He
caused it to rain. If this can be shown,
then an answer has been given to the
inquiry of The CONSERVATIVE. "Has
prayer produced rain?' It will also sug-
gest this: What God certainly did at
one time, He may, under like circum-
stances, do again.
Now for some Bible proof.
The Jewish people were slow to re-
build the temple upon their return from
captivity. They said: "The time is
not come-the time that the Lords
house should be built
But, some how, they were having the
worst luck farming, they ever had.
Then God, by the the mouth of Haggai,
tells them how it is:
because of mine house that is waste,
and ye run every man unto his own
house.
Therefore the heaven over you is
stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed
from her fruit
"And called for a drouth upon the
land, and upon the mountains, and up
on the corn, and upon the new wine,
and upon the oil, and upon that which
the ground bringeth forth, and upon
men, and upon cattle, and upon all the
labour of the hands. "-Haggai :9.1l.
Here is case where God, on account
of the sin of people, "called for a
drouth upon the land" They repented,
prayed, and went to work. Then God
said to them, "From this day will bless
you" Again: eff shut up heaven
that there be no rain, or, if command
the locusts to devour the land, or, if
send pestilence among my people if my
people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from their
wicked ways; then will hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin, and
will heal their land. % Oh. 7:13-14.
Now, here is the principle stated.

RAIN AND PRAYERS.

step to hypOthecate the presence III the
universe of conditions which are best ex-
planned by the supposition that the
direction of affairs is in the control of
something like our own intelligence.
Prof d. S. Shaler
"What has happened in the last ten
years of brilliant scientific discovery is
this: That the physical sciences in their
Investigations have reached the bound
aries of their special domains. They
have agreed, from astronomy to chemis-
try, upon this propositions There is
only one universal and identical force in
action in the universe all matter is
under the control of spiritual laws
Biology calls this force Life ; physics
calls it Thought 'Etheric Energy
and 'Volition > religion calls it the
Divine Will New York Journal
"Our God, who covereth the heavens
with clouds, who prepareth rain for the
earth, who maketh grass to grow upon
the mountains. ."-Ps. 147:7-S.
No old fashioned preacher could write
a newspaper article without text; you
see have chosen three of them; two
from men learned in science and one
from the Bible.
The hopeful and forceful thing about
the first two texts is that they agree
with the third one in the fact that some
thing outside of mans power, outside of
the force of mere law, is directing the
affairs of this universe.
The Bible and the common sense of
almost all men in all ages affirm this
force to be God.
A live question just now in Nebraska
is, will this God of ours hear and answer
prayer for rain? That depends. Who
is praying what the motive, etc.
I see the editor of The CONSERVATIVE
has been stirred up to ask: "Has prayer
produced rain? If so, when and where?' p
The editor then adds:
"This is statistical inquiry if at any
time, universal praying has brought
about the downpour of needed rain,
church histories and church almanacs
have certainly recorded the facts
All right, thus far; but 1 think many
were surprised to find the editor of The
CONSERVATIVE, at least, seeming to put
the praying of heather and Christian up
OH the same level. He says, to admit
the argument for prayer "drawn from
the general use of it, that this argu-
ment "compels us to make the mons
trous admission that the prayers of
pagans, of fetch worshipers, and Of
Tibetans who turn praying-wheels, are
recompensed in the same way as those
of orthodox believers
TO put pagans and Christians in just
the same category in the matter of in
telligence and piety, is strange thing
to do for an American citizen, living in
the good state of Nebraska. If man
were to stand under a great arc-light,
and then, with tallow-dip in his hand

the matter has been settled, unless the
testimony can be impeached.
The time is 925 B. G.; the place,
Palestine; the people, the Israelites.
Ahab, their king, was bad man and
had led the people into idolatry. A
great drouth was cursing the land;
Elijah comes before Ahab and says:
"As the Lord God of Israel liveth, be-
fore whom stand, there shall not be
dew nor rain these years, but according
to my word" A bold statement for an
old preacher, but the results showed
that he spake in the name Of his God.
The end of it all was just this: "And
it came to pass, after many days, that
the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in
the third year, saying: "Go show thy
self to Ahab and I will send rain upon
the earth
You know the outcome; the contest,
with the prophets Of Baal upon Mount
Carmel, then Elijah praying seven
times, then the little cloud coming up
"out Of the sea, like mans hand" and
Elijah saying, "Go up, say unto Ahab:
Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down
that the rain stop thee not" The &C
count closes by saying: "And there
was great rain" Kings 1S.
The New Testament confirms this in
cident thus:
''The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much.
"Elias was man subject to like pas
sions as we are, and he prayed earnestly
that it might not rain: and it rained not
OH the earth by the space of three years
and six months.
"And he prayed again, and the heaven
gave rain, and the earth brought forth
her fruit. james 5:17-1S.
Is our case made out? see but one
way to deny it. Set aside the testimony
as unreliable. But the editor says that
"church histories and church almanacs"
can settle it.
Now, if the readers of The Con-
SENTATIVE are willing to grant the
Bible to have the weight of "history"
or an almanac" then they must de-
eide that prayer has brought rain. And
what happened in Israel may in Me-
braska. Pardon this last word of exhor-
tation. am not looking for great re-
suits from this discussion on prayer in
che secular papers. But, o, my brothers
in the church, God broke the drouth in
answer to united prayer, and is he not
calling us to penitence and prayer to
break the awful spiritual drouth in the
land? After obtaining clean heart,
let each pray: 80 Lord, revive Thy
work in the midst of the years, in
wrath remember mercy"

The Rev. Byron Beall should look to
the final result and ascertain whether

pray, but who live in all other respects

OF the above named 23s incorporated
places there are 80 that had popula-
tion in 1900 of more than 1000, but of
these only have a population in ex-
cess of 5000, namely, Vicksburg, with
14,s34; Meridian, with 14,05o; Natchez,
with 1920; Jackson, with 1876; Green
vile, with 1872. Colum bus, with 6,4S4,
and Biloxi, with 5,467 inhabitants.
A very large number of Mississip-
plans who read these weekly notes are
members of the Ancient Craft, and
hence they will read what follows with
interest. President Mckinley being
Mason and Knight Templar, has been
invited to attend the triennial conclavo
in Louisville in August next. While
passing through a regimental hospital
in Winchester, Va, one day, Major
Mckinley noticed Federal surgeon
carefully attending to some of the Con-
federate wounded, and also that there
was an exchange of favors between
certain of Federal soldiers and their
Southern foes. When it was later ex-
planned to him that the men were
brother Masons, he was deeply i'm
pressed and expressed desire to join
the order. The records of Hiram Lodge
No. 81, Winchester, show that he took
his first degree on May /, 1865, and be-
came Master Mason on May 8. Only
three men are now living who were
present at the time. The president is
member of Canton Commandery No. SS,
of Canton, Ohio, which he joined Dec.
90, 1884.
Judge Jehu A. Orr, of Columbus, is
the oldest trustee of the State Uni
versity, and in addition he delivers 9
series Of lectures annually to the law
a class. At the close of his last series
last week, his lecture was public, ant
somewhat historical; and we are glat
to see it announced that he will prepare
paper ON the eventful period of 1860
and will read it at the April meeting o
the State Historical Society. Judg'
Orr has been prominent and infiuentia
in public and professional life for NOR
than half century, and he is still
young man-for his age. He is one
the very few survivors of the secession
convention, was colonel of the Thirty
8 first Mississippi regiment, delegate il
the Confederate provisional congress
. and has had large judicial and legisla

Alabama's Old Capital.

Cahaba, the former capital OF Ala.
bama, is not even town now, being re.
turned by tho census as Precinct l6 in
Dallas County Several years ago The
town site was sold for taxes and wa,
bought by negro for a few hundred
dollars.
At one time. Cahaba was one Of the
most important places in Alabama, be.
sides, the State Capital Its population
was made up of rich planters and slave.
holders. Its situation is at the con.
iluence of the Cahaba and Alabama
Rivers, and il was not only a wealthy
place, but also one of the most beautiful
in the State.
The owners Of plantations and the rich
traders lived in baronial style, their
houses being of the architecture Of the
South at that day with large halls and
rooms, and verandas occupying almost
as much space as the rooms themselves,
Extensive grounds surrounded each and
flowers bloomed in profuSion, while
magnolias, oaks and cedars were found
in abundance. Blooded horses neighed
and pranccd in and about the stables and
cocks struttcd in the barnyards,
The capital had been moved before
the Confederacy was born, and when the
war was over the few men who had any
money left tried to start up business
and put new life into the old place, but
could not. A few years later even the
county seat was transferred to Selma, and
Cahaba was dead. Some wealthy men
tore. down their houses and had them re.
built in Selma, and soon the few re-
naming houses we're left tenantleSs.--

morning the Japanese bring up the mail,
fresh vegetables and milk, and women
often carry trunks to the summit on
their heads In the upper classes the
old 'samurai' ideals inculcated endurance
courage and simplicity. A writer in a
recent magazine comments upon the
seven years training of the Japanese
officer This is the preparation of a
second lieutenant but il is merely A
continuation under modern methods. of
the old "samural" requirements. The
fact that the Japanese is one of the best
soldiers in the world, and one of the
toughest, is not such great cause for
wonder, because it is not the outcome of
Western military training--of modern
ization-for the seeds OF the Western
methods were sown on long cultivated
