The Secret OF winsom eness.

What is it in Jesus that so draws men,
that wins their allegiance away from
every other master, that makes them
ready to leave all for His sake and to
follow Him through peril and sacrifice
even to death? Is it His wonderful
teaching? Never man spake like this
man." Is it His power as revealed in
His miracles? Is it His sinlessness? The
most malignant scrutiny could find no
fault in Him. Is it the perfect beauty
of His character? None nor all Of these
will account for the wonderful attraction
of Jesus. Love is the secret. he came
into the world to reveal the love Of God
He was the love of God in human
flesh. His life was all love. In most
wonderful ways during all His life did
BE reveal love. Men saw it in His face.
and felt it in His touch, and heard it in
His voice. This was the great fact
which His disciples felt in His life. His
friendship was unlike any friendship
they had ever seen before or even
dreamed Of. It was this that drew them
to Him and made them love Him so
deeply and tenderly. Nothing but love
will kindle love. Power will not do it.
Holiness will not do it. Gifts will not
do it-men will take your gifts and then
repay with hatred. But love begets love;
heart responds to heart. Jesus loved
Dolan.

Teach u to Pray.

It Is natural enough that we should
recognize the need that we be inspired to
begin and persist In prayer. For prayer
Involves the expenditure of the very en-
ergy Of the soul. But why should we
ask that we be taught how to pray?
Prayer is the spirits utterance to God.
It is the whole process Of communion be-
tween our spirits and our Father IN
heaven; and therefore there must be q
language Of prayer, which we cannot
learn from each other. It is very much
like learning to talk when we learn to
pray. One baby cannot teach another
baby to talk. This is the joyous task of
motherhood itself. Little by little the
words grow familiar as time passes.
Communion between the two becomes
more perfect as language becomes more
completely the possession Of the child.
And so it is God alone who can teach US
how to pray. We must learn the lam
guage of prayer in the life that is closely
bound with His. But there is also q
form Of prayer which is deeper than all
words. Just as sometimes the deepest
communion of the spirit is realized when
q child looks into its mothers eyes, nes-
ties closely to her, and simply loves her
in silence, so there are moods of the
spirit in which no language Of prayer is
necessary. We are sure that God loves
US; we lay our hearts very close to His,
and it is enough. Many Of our deepest
prayers are mute. But even for this we
need to be taught by God. O..

BEAR KILLS THREE CHILDREN.
Search Party Finds "heir Mangled Re.
mains and Kills tn. Animal.

Job, West Va.-To be crushed to
death in the embrace Of q monstrous
black bear and their little bodies af-
terward mangled and partly devoured
was the frightful fate that befell the
three children of E. P. Porterfeld, a
mountaineer residing near here. The
remains were found by searching
party, which included John Weldon, a
Maryland hunter. who. within q few
minutes after the discovery Of the
bodies shot and killed the bear In a
neighboring thicket.
The children were Mary, aged three
years; Willie, aged five, and Henry.
aged seven. A few days ago they left
home to gather flowers in clearing
near their home. Nothing more is
known, but it is supposed that they
wandered into the woods, and. becom-
ing lost, continued on their way until
they were overtaken by the bear in the
dense forest three miles from their
parents home.
The bear feasted off all three of the
bodies. The party divided and began
a search. Weldon discovered the bear
in q thick clump Of hemlock saplings
near small stream. A single shot
ended it's life. 1t was declared to be
the largest bear ever seen in that
neighborhood.

Fair soul, created in the primal hour,
Once pure and grand,

Vain against thee the hosts Of hell as

And love shall lead the path to heavens

So faint not then whate'er the burden

But bear it bravely even to Calvary.

A Prayer.

Heavenly Father, from our hearts we
thank Thee for gracious memories of
our beloved whom Thou in loving wis.,
dom hast taken to Thyself. Against the
darkness Of that mystery Thy promise
burns. In silence which may never more
be broken upon earth, we remember low
ingly their words Of faith and cheer.
Thou. o God, hast strengthened and
comforted our hearts through faith and
labor, lest we should sink in idle. hope
less grief to an ignoble weakness. Let
us not think so meanly Of Thy care or
of their generous love as to believe we
honor them by aimless sorrow more than
by q cheerful hope and service. Let Thy
strength abide in US that we may over,
come and be found worthy of eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord. So
prepare our hearts for the unclouded Wis.,
ion aad communion of Thy saints in
light. Amen.
