a mother had a wayward boy who had
run away to sea and WAS at that time
in an Asiatic port. This mother care
fully studied the Bible and came TO the
conclusion that she had q right to ask
for the salvation of her boy and that
she would then and there throw the
burden Of lis salvation upon Christ
She went to her room, after giving
word tIat under no condition was she
to be interrupted. Then she opened
the Bihle, laid it upon a chair and
kreIt down. Then she began TO pray
for the salvation Of that boy. sae
said: 20 God. Jesus has said that II
| aas anything in his name thou VIII
grant my request | am Going TO stay
here pleading upon my knees for the
salvation Of nay child until thou mast

from 6 until Z, { until s 9 until 10. 1C
until H.. .uatil . o'clock in the morning
that woman stayed Then sic arose
from her knees and said, My Heavenly
Father. thou hast answered MY
prayer" at that very time said the
evangelist. the boy in the foreign port
was convicted of sin and sent letter
home TO his mother that he had given
bis heart 10 Christ" But as | after
ward began TO ponder over the story
in the light of the Scriptures and OF
personal history, I came to the conclu-
sion that that story was true or at
least by gospel promise could be true
We have a right 10 ask for the saliva

and plead faithfully and truly God
will answer our prayers.
Oh that we might. one and all. here

of prayer for the salvation of our loved
onesi This was the way a great re-
vival wave was started in one Of my
old churches. 1t was by Christian peo-
pie. members CT that church, getting TO-
gether week after week and praying
for distinct individuals. It was in this
way that my grandmother and grand
father were converted. Some of you
may have heard the wonderful story
written by the pen or spoken by the
lips of my father. 1t was by com
pany of earnest and fearful mothers
gathering together at a certain time of
the day in the barns to pray for the
salvation of their children until scores
and hundreds stood up in the little vii
lage church of Somerville to confess
Christ, and the whole region was moved
by the power of the Holy Ghost 1t is
by a conspiracy Of prayer that re-
vival can always be started and our
loved ones swept into the kingdom by
a tidal wave Of mer ).

The great trouble with the Christian
church as a whole and with Christians
as individuals is that we have broken
away from the old anchorage Of gospel
truth We have lost faith in God that
he is able to do all things; we have
lost faith in prayer; we have lost faith
in the power Of the Holy Ghost And
the great mission of the Christian pull
pit today is to revive in the pew the
old gospel seeds of faith and hope.
When Wilton Merle Smith was called
to the Central Presbyterian church Of
New York city be said to the commit
tee which waited on him: You do not
want me rs your pastor. ! am not an
intellectual teacher: am only simple
gospel preacher" "Ah." answered tie
men. that is the reason we want You.
The people are hungering and thirsting
after the simple gospel truths" And it
is because the simple. salient gospel
beliefs ara so much needed today that
] am preaching this sermon upon faith
and the belief that Christ can save our
loved Gues if we only pray.
Thus. my dear friends. tired and
heavy hearted. tramping along the
highway of life. want to lift tie
heavy burdens or your hearts. 1t is
these burdens that are crushing YOU.
not the journey. Many of the older
men have read an essay which was fa-
nous many years ago. 1t was written
BY the Country Parson" and called
Concerning People Who Carry
Weights In Life" The author went
on TO show that it was the extra
wci-lts some had to carry that madr
tl..m lose the race of life. And It is
these extra burdens which we can cast
at the foot Of the cross that make Us
labor and heavy laden viii you not

eternal rest beyond the grave. Come

Laws and Parental Influence.

Many of the State Legislatures now In
session will doubtless be called upon to
enact laws against cigarette smoking by
the young, and the advocates OF such
laws will soon be telling the members
that the mothers will rise ~ and call
them blessed ii they will put some pro-
hibitory legislation on the subject on the
statute books. That Argument was used
/ to influence the enactment of the anti
| cigarette laws now in force aud it Will
/ probably be used to aid in the enacment
OF more laws on the subject.
II is as fallacious, however, as At is
plausible. 1t is doubtful il any law has
decreased cigarette smoking among the
young. Few attempts, IN fact, have
been made to enforce the laws, and they
have been openly violated. They have
not had the support o + parents and teach
ers, particularly the former, and as con-
sequence they have done little or nothing
to check the evil. Cigarette smoking has
decreased. not on account of the laws
against ii, but from the fact that it is no
longer the fad" it once was. And this
decrease is much more apparent among
adults than among young lads.
As a corrective for cigarette smoking
among the young the parental slipper or
a good strong leather strap are worth all
the laws that can be placed upon The stat
ute books. The latter can be eva .el, but
a lesson administered b ,hrashng re-
mains. Ia the economy Of nature it is
almost impossible to impress the youth
ful mind permanently except through
pain. An uuculorced law has no terror
for youthful cigarette smoker, but a
good whipping has some terrors. And
the parent who fails to administer such
corrective to delinquent son but trusts
to an uueniorced law leans on a broken
reed
1t is not more laws but more parental
influence that is needed if cigarette
smoking among the young is to be check
ed. II the women who are besieging
Legislatures to pass laws on the subject
will turn their attention to educating
parents, and especially mothers, aud
them to exercise their author
ity in the matter they will accomplish
the reform they have in view much more
quickly and Observation-Disclosures

Tendency Of the Timcs.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medical
men have to contend with, can be pre-
vented ~ the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack OF in
fluenza grip, and it has been observed
that this remedy cuunteracts any tendency
Of these diseases toward pneumonia. This
has been fully proven in many thous-
ands of cases in which This remedy has
been used during the great prevalence of
colds aud grip in recent years, and can
be relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from light
cold when no danger is apprehended un-
til It is suddenly discovered that there is
fever and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, then it is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. BE on
the safe side and take Chanberlain's
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is con
trcled. 1t always cures. Sold by Dunn.
