In the possession of City Treasurer
Barker is certified check for $4,000
given by Hayes G. Sons to insure COM
pliance with the terms attached to the
sale of the bonds as set forth in the
advertisement.
Recorder Connell has assurances that
the bonds can be disposed of if Hayes
& Sons continue to refuse them. The
bonds, of course, will have to be sold
at sacrifice. Hayes & Sons offered a
premium of 1902. 1t is likely that at a
forced sale the premium secured will
not be more than $4,000. The differ
ence will be made up by drafting on
the $4,000 forfeit posted by Hayes &
Sons.
IF councils do not oppose the record
er's plans the bonds will be sold with
out loss and at once. and the threat
ened delay to the citys contemplated
improvements will be obviated.
City Clerk Lavelle and Recorders
Secretary Edgar will go to New York
Monday and attach the city's seal to
the bonds, now in the possession of the
United States Mortgage and Trust COM
pany. They will then be formally
offered to Hayes & Sons. If the latter
still refuse to take them, the recorder
will at once proceed to sell them on
their account

The light from heaven can. never lead

The world must read the Gospel in liv-

Resignation is putting God between

The most momentous truth of religion
is that Christ is in the Christian.
The time to show your Christian man
hood is when it is put TO the sore test.
You cannot dream yourself into char
acter; you must hammer and forge your
self into one.
The light Of the Christian shines bright

that it is shining.
Not all Gods messengers are angels.
Any hand that knocks at the door may
bring a call from the King.
1t is better to build life than to make

He who manifests humility, love and
gratitude when told Of his faults has
made large attainments in the Christian
life.
Spiritual sustenance cannot be effective
in an abstract form, as pure Truth; 1t
must come to us through the energy oil a

There are many things that the world
needs, and there is much work to be
done in many directions; but most OF all
does the world need God, most sof all
does it need Righteousness, faith, hope
and love! The world needs better con-
ditions for its poor and wretched, better
tenements in which to house them; but
it needs also better lives for the tene-
ments when built. 1t needs better oppor-
tunities for its teeming multitudes. but
it needs also clearer vision to see the OPP
portunities and stronger wills to grasp
them. The world needs scientific knowl-

but it needs the sense of knship to God.

May Prayer q Necessity-matt Xxx, 36-lo

The nature OF prayer Is found in the
nature Of the soul. A look into ones
heart discoees the secret Prayer
originates in the souls sense of need.
Prayer IL an appeal for help. II Is a
soul-search for strength. It is an In
tuitional recognition Of divine supre-
macy. Prayer asks some one for
something. Prayer pleads. 1t must
be q request In the interests Of right
eousness. It Is that spiritual process
of the soul by which one partakes OF
the divine nature. It Is soul-touch
with God. Prayer Is the holy inter-
mingling Of the Spirit Of Diety and the
spirit of man. Communion Is loving
what God loves. willing what God
willis. and being in ones personal ca
pacity Godlike. Praise Is the souls
thank offering to God. Prayer Is the
tree. Praise is the blossom. Prayer
Is the rap at the door. Praise is the
greeting to the host. Prayer is the
outstretched palm. Praise is the
warm hand-clasp. Praise Is the per.
fection OF prayer. The mercy of God
is such that he will bestow many
material blessings on men whether
they pray or not. He sendeth his rain
on the unjust. The goodness of God
is such that he bestows many natural
gifts irrespective of prayer on the
part of the recipient. The insistent
point is that prayer Is necessary to
spiritual success. 1t is. inseparably
connected with the highest happiness
in this life. No man can make the
most of life who does not pray
Prayer is necessary to spiritual
power. There may be natural strength
of personality. There may be in.
tellectual power. These are to be
highly priced as good gifts from God.
They must never be held as idle or
indifferent But there Is a particu.
lar order of power that comes to the
soul only with the descent OF the Holy
Spirit. Jesus said: "Ye shall receive
power after that the Holy Spirit is
come upon you"
Prayer is necessary to righteous
resignation. That seems to have been
true even with Jesus. In his sore
GethsemaIe trouble he said to the dis.
ciples. "Sit ye here. while l go yon-
der and pray" Yet he never did
aught that was unnecessary. If prayer
was a necessity to him. how much
more to u.s. II the loftlest life must
pray W De resigned 10 the nlBnest
ideal OF service and sacrifice. it be-
hooves the holiest of men to be much
In prayer.
Prayer is necessary to the successful
resistance of temptation. Watch and
pray, that ye enter not into tempta-
tion." said this great Teacher of Gal
lice. Never once did he advise the
doing Of any unnecessary thing. The
prayerless life is sure to be a fail
ure.

Selections.
Profitable prayer has Its foundation
in Bible knowledge. Its walls are
love for Gods service. It's doorway
is Thanksgiving. Its windows are Pc
titions. Its roof is alteration. There
are as many rooms as there are ex'
periences and needs in life. Every
room is furnished in different way.

cease from sin, or sin will certainly
entice thee from prayer.
