There are those who rldicule the idea
that prayer can actually accomplish
anything, because they cannot under
stand how prayer can either affect
Gods action or change in any way the
current of events on earth. Such reas-
onlng is extremely shallow. The wlsest
man cannot tell the why or the where
fore of some of the commonest facts
of natural science; is it not childish
then for any man TO undertake to limit
spiritual truth by the measure of his
capacity to see the reason for II or the
reasonableness of it? Facts are facts
whether they agree with any system
Of logic or not. And the fact that
prayer Is mighty power is attested
by abundant and incontestable facts.

day, The box is eight feet long and
thirty feet deep and wide, and made
expressly for the purpose. There will
be three boys who will each draw a
number simultaneously. Then two
men will turn the box for the pur-
pose of thoroughly mixing the re-
naming numbers. the box being first
