The Instinct of Prayer.

ions. pray If they find themselves in

lief in prayer is an instinct, AN in

If occasional prayer, he goes on to say.
is spiritual instinct, it is no less
certain that habitual prayer is
spiritual effort. We read further:
when the disciples Of our Lord said
to him, Teach us to pray there is no
doubt that they were referring to the
habit of prayer which they found diff
cult, and perhaps burdensome. Those
who desire to be delivered from some
sudden pain or peril do not ask to have
words found for them in which they
may express themselves, and the dur
nal suggestions contained in the Lords
Prayer makes it evident that it was
intended to serve as pattern TO those
who wanted to put more vitality into
their accustomed devotions. In reply
to this request Christ, who sought to
give men rest unto their souls made
no heavy demands upon the powers of
worship of those whom he taught, real
izing, no doubt, how exceedingly diff
ferent those powers are. The form he
offered them as n pattern of what
prayer should be is very short and COM
prehensive. There is no value, he ex-
plains, in vain repetition. and no one
is heard for his much speaking neither
is any great effort after expression nee
essary, since you Father knoweth what
things We have need of, before we ask
him. Times and seasons of prayer he
leaves entirely to the individual con-
science. only urging each man to main
tain privacy in his personal devotions
so far as he can. on the ground that 1t
preserves sincerity"

today. To him the Bible appears
merely as n sort of crazy quilt Of I'M
true history, distorted science, weak
poetry, impracticable morality, and
vague foreshadowings Of the unknown
and the unknowable. Yet we who be-
lieve, know there are passages in the
Bible unsurpassed in solemn beauty, in
the literature of the world; that its
ideals OF morality are those to which
the best within us is always aspiring;
that its promises are the sweetest and
most comforting that have ever come

Mr.. Alexander's arrival lent great
impetus to the work. AS conductor
of congregational singing he is singu-
larly gifted. He employs no baton, but
stands erect in the middle Of the plat
form and uses his arms to lead the

so great that he mounts chair and
rouses his congregation to its utmost

Although Mr.. Alexander is one Of the
most skiliful leaders Of great masses of

these stirring efforts that Mr.. Alexan-

She was Miss Helen Cadbury, the
daughter of the late Richard Cadbury,

Birmingham. Mr.. Cadbury was an ex-

largely of his enormous wealth to de-

finally converted his beautiful estate
Of Moseley Hall into home for con-

attitude Of Japan toward the Christian
church. Count Katsura is very en-
phatic in his assertions. He declares
that Japan stands for no particular
church or religion, but for religious
freedom, which is one of the funda-
mental principles upon which her con-
stitution Is based. and it has always
been practiced with impartiality to-
ward Buddhists, Christians, Moham-
medans and Jews. "There are Chris
tan churches in every large city, and
in almost every town in Japan" the
prime minister says, "and all have
had complete freedom Of speech and
worship in accordance with their own
convictions. These churches send out
men to extend the influence of Chris
tianity from one end of the country to
the other as freely as such things
might be done in the United States,
and without attracting any more at
