How PRAYER HELMS.

We all know that q good lie and q
humble testimony to the goodness and
f%aithfulness Of God have a 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 a 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
Spirit Of God; and by so doing hts MIN
to become a Jealous and effective Wit
ness for God.

A Considerable Judge.

Rarely does aEjudge show hesitaneS

change his mind when he has once
puhkcly expressed it; but an account
of refreshing exception is furnished
by Sir Henry Hawkins, Lord Bramp-
ton, the eminent English justice, IN a

materials being a peculiarly satisfac:.

Draped Bodice Becomes All.

The draped bodice is undoubtedly
the thing" 1t is as becoming TO the
too full as well as 10 the TOO thin
figure. 1t brings out the waist line,
and its folds across the bust may easily
be arranged so as greatly to increase
the apparent size of the fat figure.
while by using little material and
drawing it close the exuberant figure
can be held down firmly and appear
of the perfect middle size. The aver
age American figures lack both bust
and hips, but the fashions Of to-day
are kind toward those deficiencies, and
the pieated, shirred and yoked skirts
can easily be made to render the figure
apparently fuller at the hips, and these,
together with the drapeG bOdiceS, are
vastly improving the appearance OF
many women.

A FELLOW FEELING.
Why h Felt Lenient Towards the
nrunSar6.

A great deal depends on the point OF
view. A good temperance woman was
led, in a very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh judgment Of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups,
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:
For many years I was a great suf-
ferer from asthma. Finally my health
got so poor that ] found l could not lie
down, but walked The floor whilst 9th
ers slept. I got SO nervous I could not
rest anywhere.
- Specialists told me I must give up
the. use of cofeeAthe main thing that
l always thought gave me some relief.
I consulted our family physician, and
he, being a coffee fend himself. told
me to pay no attention to their advice.
Coffee had such q charm for me that
in passing a restaurant and getting a
Whit of the fragrance 1 could not re-
sist q cup. I felt very lenient toward
the drunkard who could not pass the
saloon. Friends often urged ME to try
Postum, but l turned a deaf ear, say
ing That may do for people to whom
coffee is harmful. but not for me-cof-
fee and I will never part
AT last, however. I bought a pack
age Of Postum. although l was sure l
could not drink it. I prepared it as d.
rected. and served it for breakfast.
Well, bitter as l was against it. l must
say that never before had I tasted a
more delicious cup Of coffee! From
that day to this (more than = years. I
have never had a desire for the old cof-
fee. My health 10 returned; the
asthma disappeared. 1 began to sleep
we'll. and in a short time I gained 20
pounds in weight.
lone Gay l handed my physician
the tablets he had prescribed for me,
telling him / had no use for them. He
stayed for dinner. When I passed him
his coffee cup he remarked, I am glad
to see YOU were sensible enough not
TO let yourself be persuaded that cof-
fee was harmful. This is the best cup
of coffee I ever drank he continued;
the trouble is so few people know bow
to make good coffee When he got
his second cup I told him he was
drinking Postum. He was incredn-
lous. but / convinced him, and now he
uses nothing but Postum in his home,
and has greatly improved in health"

tation. One Of the things Solomon did
not ask was honor. 1t was enough for
him to be wise and just. Wisdom and
justice were the highest sources OF his
honor. For wisdom and justice he ,is
reputed above all else. If day by day
we strive for the inward things from
which reputation takes substance and
shapeliness, we need give ourselves no
further thought about the matter.
What men think Of US will take care OK
itself. Growing plants do not give
themselves concern over summer; they
are the gift of spring to summer, and
summer will take care Of them. SO,
living as we ought, we commit U rep.
whose care are the real summer OF all
good things among men.
II Solomon informed his courtiers OF
his request to Heaven they probably
told him that he had missed a great
opportunity. They might easily have
said: why did you not ask for riches.
for vastly extended power and do
minon? How much better they would
have been than wisdom? We could
have furnished the wisdom" But the
prayer was Of the right sort. Jehovah
was pleased with it's mOdesty; and the
things that were not asked for were In
due time given. The surprise Of life
often lies in the insignifcance OF the
means to some great end. People in
the navy know that the smallest thing
connected with a great gun is the most
indispensable-the firing pin. That
gone. and the gun, sc to say, is on the
shelf. In the army one Of the smallest
duties Of the cavalryman is the car
ing for his horse. There is an instance
in history where cavalry that did this
duty we'll and cavalry that did it i'll,
otherwise equally matched, fought a
battle, in which those who neglected
their horses were cut down almost to
a man. Doors to great events swing
outward on little hinges. Art and reil.
gion and education and war abound
with decisions and acts and incidents,
small in themselves as mustard seeds,
yet so growthful that great events and
great deeds have come and lodged in
the branches thereof.
Let us also treasure the words of the
Master in direct line with the truth we
have been considering: seek ye first
the kingdom Of God and His righteous
ness, and all these things shall be
added unto you"
