The ConFrega,IonalIst.

The argument against praying for
any physical change In nature Is. per-
haps, as ancient as prayer itself,
though In our time Il has crystalized
into a phrase. The uniformity Of ma
ture, II is said, demonstrates that any
change In answer 20 prayer would be
Impossible. This uniformity does not
deter men from essaying to make
changes In nature. But pos.
sihly this waving aside Of prayer for
material good as relic OF barbarlsm
Is too great an assumption Of present.

laws Of nature are uniform as far as
observation has gone thus far. but ma.
ture has yet many secrets 20 be reveal.
ed. II is true that our idea OF God as
Infinite In knowledge and perfect in
holiness implies a being that cannot
change His mind and purpose. But
who can say that the answering Of
prayer is not provided for In the plans

unent: "Canst thou by searching find

Negative Christianity-and Pro-
testantism is by It's very name
shown TO be negatlye-proves its
utter insufiiciency in the as
tonshlng increase OF such cults as
Christian Science and the like, which
show the yearning Of the human soul
for a positive religion based on faith
The Catholic religion, fully compre-
hended, would make these cults i'm
possible; but the lack Of certainty, the
unreallty OF the faith, and the feeble
hold on prayer Of Professionalism alike
are shown by the tendency OF Protes-
tants, within as well as without the
Catholic church, to seek these cravings
of the human soul-religious certainty
faith, and prayer-in grotesque forms
which parody The church's doctrines
rather than In the church herself, II
is a fact easy 20 discover that where
individuals have had the full concep-
ton Of the Catholic position of the
church, her losses to Christian Science
and kindred cults have been trivial;
but where Professionalism Is uppermOst.

ABOUT THE BIBLE.

The collection of books known as
The Bible forms the only guide TO sal
walton to the various Protestant
churches in Christendom. II IL almost
an object OF worship II Is usually re-
ferred to by them RS "The word Of
God" 1t is their only standard of
faith and discipline. The Episcopal
Church, In lts sixth article Of religion
says Holy scripture contaneth all
things necessary to salvation; so that
whatsoever is not read therein, nor
may be proved thereby IS not to be re-
quired Of any man, that II should be
believed as an article OF the Faith, or
be thought requisite or necessary to
salvation"
The various seets which have sprung
out of the Church while differing from
1t and from each other in many impor-
tant points of doctrine. hold to the
same belief as to the authority and
completeness of the Scriptures. The
sermons delivered in the pulpits Of the
conflicting Protestant denominations
are founded upon texts or portions OF
texts selected from the Bible. The in
tefpretauons placed upon these islo.
lated fragments OF holy writ are so
various and contradictory as 10 form
a terrible tumble OF discordant ideas.
and OF themselves testify to the insult

as Guide alone to salvation
The Bible is a grand and Invaluable
compilation OF works, the authenticity
OF which is well established. We think
II Is without q peer IN literature. 1t

Lord given in past ages though in
spired prophets and seers. Part OF Il.

that are not Included In the volume. but
which were written by inspired men.
Both the old and the New Testaments
refer TO such scriptures ana show that
many inspired writings have been lost.
SO far as the Bible has been trans
lated correctly from the languages In
which II was originally written, Il is ac.
cepted by the Church OF Jesus Christ

ALL WANT LAND

We were on a nOrthwesters train
lately upon which were over seventy
men going from central and southern
Iowa to the Dakotas after cheap farm
lands. These men were largely well to
do farmers who were out of debt and
had accumulated a comfortable bank
account, but who were finding it very
difficult to invest their savings in any
satisfactory security at living rates Of
interest. AS their money had largely
been made by the advance in the value
Of the farms which they owned, they
were cage: to repeat the thing with
some of the comparatively cheap lands
Of the northwest. Some of them will do
well, while others will not. Some will
get land with too much water, while
others will mistake range lands fol
arabic lands and get bitten. The men
who get the wet lands will in the long
run be better off than those who have
to contend with semiarid conditions, fol
1t is vastly easier to get rid of a sur
plus Of water than it is to put 1t where
it Is not.

We note that good many men with
families do not live up to their privi-
leges as the head of the house in this.
that they do not wish to be burdened
with any care or responsibility in the
matter of helping to serve the food at
the daily mealtimes. In some homes
the wife prepares the food and does
the carving. and everybody is expected
to help himself, while the head Of the
house simply looks after himself. This
plan, while involving the least trouble
in the matter Of serving the meal, Is
not prOmOtive Of good manners at the
table, and where young people are ac-
custOmed to this sort of service at
home it is apt to place them ut u seri.
GUS disadvantage when away from
home, where other and better methods
prevail. The serving of the daily
meals in the home should be an Occa

be, where the family should be seer

ners and polite conduct should be ex

We try to recognize and apply the
law of kindness in dealing with all

are many cases where it will not work

some animals in check. This applies
with much force to bulls, which never
under any circumstances can be trust
ed. TO some horses which we work and
drive or ride, to many dogs and other
animals and occasionally to some boys.
While the rule Of force should never be

that the law of kindness and moral

more when he Is working to pay Off

History does not state how many guns

with a gun which the donor says was
made Tor Davy and was his favorite
weapon. Mr.. Blair was lately nominated
for the lieutenant sovernOrship Of his
state. but could not accept. because he is
not yet thirty years old. He is son Of
the late Frank S. Blair, former attor-
ney general Of Virginia.
Mr.. Blair says the gun was given to his
father by members of David Crockett's
family. 1t is flintlock Of about 40 cali
Der. 1t is five and a half feet long, and
the barrel is nearly a half inch thick. The
Workmanship, all by hand. is excellent.
The stock is light, the wood part extend
ing clear to the muzzle on the underside.
There is a brass slide over the patchbox
in the stock. In loading these rifles the
ball was wrapped in cloth patch which
was CREASED. Then it was driven home
with n ramrOd. Running down the side of
the barrel is a brass telescope about as
heavy as a modern rife barrel. The stock
and woodwork under the barrel are deco
