There is a beautiful little incident re-
lated concerning the conversion of General
Clinton b. Fisk of blessed memory.
The night on which the little incident oc-
their custom, prepared their little son and
daughter for going to bed, and as the little
girl knelt down to say her usual evening
prayer at the Generals knee, she asked
God to bless her papa and mamma and
brother, and then looking up sweetly in
her papa's face she said. Papa, why DON t
'oo prayg"
These words spoken by his little daugh-
ter, who TO him was dearer than life itself,
so affected the General as to change the
wsole course of his remaining life, and
thus he was led to the Saviour.

Not According to Our Deserts.

How grateful we should be that God does
not deal with us, either as individuals or
as nation, according to our deserts! How
sadly we should fare If God did so! God
loved us while we were sinners. and sought
to save us. Our hope of salvation is that
God saves sinners, not that He saves Chris
tlans. God does not love us because we are
sinners, but God loves us in spite of the
TACT that we are sinners. That is our hone.
As a nation we have been prospered of
God, no' because we have dealt fairly
with other needy peoples, but in spite Of
the fact that we have il-treated other peo-
pies or races. We have ill-treated the In
dlans, we have ill-treated the negroes. we
have illtreated the Chinese. we have a
sad record IN cur long course with other
raoes-whieh We call inferior races. Yet
God docs not deal with us according to
our deserts. What God we have, and
what reason for rejoicing we have that fioS
does not give us according to our desertsl

EPwoRTH LEAGUE MEETING TOPICS.
August 3l-Communion and Transformation
Exod. 81. 1886; Luke 9. Is, 20.

There are those who tell us that
when they engage in secret prayer God
Is as real to them in His manifested
presence as would be the presence
OF human friend in the room. Does
not Christ say, "He that loveth Me
shall be loved of My Father, and
will love him, and will manifest Myself
to him" Others know He Is present
largely by faith. He says, II am
with you," and they believe 1t, feeling
certain that they talk with Him and
He listens. Such communion results
in closer union, in a stronger, more
joyous life. AS perfume is the sweet
breath of flowers, so prayer is the
souls richest fragrance, and rises like
pleasing incense to God. How neces.
sary Is such communion to each Of
us! What influence would go out
from our lives If we felt that we could
not afford to spend a day with men
in the worlds whirling rush without
first spending an hour alone with
God! 1t was while engaged in prayer
that Christ was transigured. No
Christian can habitually pray without
having his life changed thereby. This
change may not be perceptible in a
day, but the years will tell the story
OF gradual TRANSPORTATION.
The face is an index Of the soul.
Benevolent people often carry in their
placid countenances the outline of a
soul enriched by cherlshing generous
impulses and beautiaed by deeds of
love. Nature may not have given
you those regular features which are
called handsome. But you may asso-
ciate with God so constantly that His
own beauty will be reflected from
your face. Faces that gleam are in
the same class with Moses and Christ.
They have ready access to Gods heart,
having formed the habit of being
punctual in their engagements to meet
Him. They have learned how to carry
the glory of the mount down into the
valley of toll and ministry.
Our prayer is, Lead us, dear heay-
emily Father, into a keener relish for
spiritual communion. May We not
only go now and then to the submits,
that we may be alone with Thee, but
may we so live as to carry with us
habitually the mount of prayer, the
mount of communion. the mount of
transformation, the mount OF transfig-
uration. May we not attempt the
folly of trying to bear life's heavy load
without Thy aid. The journey is
often wearisome, the way is steep and
rough. Often 1t is uncertain in its
windings, and we scarcely know
which way to take. Save us from the
wrecklessness of going on alone, to
stumble and fall and wander when
we might have Thy guidance and
comradeshlp. Our God, when doubt
and discouragement, temptation and
trial. loss and sorrow bow us to the
earth. wilt Thou lift us up? Leave
us not to ourselves. Well mightest
Thou cast us off on account of our
unfaithfulness, but 1t IL Thy nature
to have mercy. Restored to Thy low
ing favor, may we delight in Thee
and gradually come to the realization
of the supreme joy Of knowing that
Thou dost delight In us. We desire
all this not for ourselves alone, but
that we may thus be of most service
to mankind and bring greatest glory
to Thy name. Amen.

Can we, to-day, as Moses did, speak
face to face with God? Yes, even more
directly we can commune with God
through his inspired Word, by the
Holy Spirit given unto us, and by all
the special means OF grace which we
now enjoy.
If we live daily in the light of Gods
countenance. either purposely or
even unconsciously we cannot help
rejecting that light upon those with
whom we come in contact.

THE THANKSGIVING
TURKEY CROP

Thrifty housewives are beginning to
inquire. "What will have to pay
for my Thanksgiving and Christmas
turkeys this year?" The question. is
a pertinent one. and with a view of
answering it intelligently The Record
sought a solution of the matter at the
hands of local dealers a few days
ago and was informed that they
would be little higher this sea-
son than they were last, the ruling
price probably varying from l6 to IS
cents a pound for dressed birds.
The increase in price is due to the
short crop Of the gallinaceans in Kan
sas. Nebraska and other states to the
eastward, which will make unusual
acquisitions upon the Colorado pro-
duct.
In nearly all the large markets of
the Mississippi valley the demand is
greater than the supply and many
people who have hitherto feasted on
the toothsome gobbler at the Thanks
giving day and Christmans festivities
will have to content themselves with
pork and beans this year.
The supply OF Colorado turkeys is
about normal and the birds are said TO
be in prime condition. but for the
reasons We have indicated the price
will be somewhat in advance of what
has customarily been paid by Canon
City people.
