Back To the Farm.

Things on the farm are changing,
and we already observe, 1t We watch
the barometer of social life, that there
is tendency to get back to the coun-
try. Fifteen years ago, for instance,
less than fifty per cent. OF the popula-
tion were moving countryward; in
1900 the statistics show that seventy
per cent. were seeking homes In rural
districts, and 1t is likely that the pro.
portion now going 2way from the city
reaches seventy-ive per cent. At last.
with Solomon, they are discovering
that "all is vanity" in the cities; that
friendships are difficult, that neigh
bors don't know the names one OF the
other, that noise, dirt, confusion are
there and the struggle to live Is at
the desperate stage all the time.
The telephone, the trolley line. free
rural mail delivery-these are mitlgat-
ing the unsocial side Of rural LIE, anu
the beauty Of nature is doing the
rest. Intelligent men and women, SEEK
ing the health of their families, physl-
cal. moral and spiritual, are taking
lp homes where acres abound, anu
are giving to rural life something il
has lacked before. The practical 1arm'
er finds in these additions to his nelgn.
borhood circle stimulus and cheer, and
the children of the farm and OF the
families from the city find mutual
pleasure in association. The movement
ts an all.round good one. 1t marks
new era in rural Life and a change
of estimable value to those with cour-
age enough to pull up stakes and
leave the town. 1t is one OF the most
encouraging signs OF the tlmes.-Op-

How PRAYER Helps.

We all know that good life and a
humble testimony to the goodness and
faithfulness of God have. q very great
influence for good on the minds OF all
who see and hear; but how does prayer
help? In the first place, prayer, If it be
true prayer-an earnest and confident
appeal to God for the blessing sought
has wonderful effect upon the charac-
ter of the person who offers it. Such
prayer brings the petitioner into close
fellowship with God and opens his
whole nature to the influence OF the
Shirt of God; and by so doing fits him
to become jealous and effective Wit
ness for God.

st. Petersburg, BY Cable.-Governor
General Trepo!f and Minister of FL

which reveals the governments plans
for breaking the strike, not only here,
but throughout Russia. The proclama-
ton is couched in paternal tone, and
points out that honest Workmen, who
want to better their condition, should
have brought their demands to the
government, instead Of being mislead
lby agitators into afiliation with a
movement which is not confined to
economy aspirations. A shorter work
