Prayer For Missions ans Misslonar.

Prayer For Missions and Missionar-
ies.-John II. 1921; Acts Is. 1-3.
In our selection from John we have
the prayer of the Master forlhis dis
ciples. His prayer is for unity among
his disciples and for success tb his
kingdom. Christ was sent from God.
and all true ministers and missionar-
les are sent from him. Not the dis
ciples alone, but all those who were
to believe through their labors, are
embraced in this prayer. The prayer
Of Jesus takes in the whole world
who are yet to believe In him through
the missionary zeal Of the church.
The account we have from the Acts
is of the first missionary enterprise
of the early church. The Laying on
of hands" was not an ordination to
an Office, but solemn assignment to
missionary work. They were set
apart and then followed by the pray
ers Of the church. So we do to-dayr
But do we remember In our prayers
as we ought the missions and mission
aries Of the church? -
The whole missionary question has
been too intimately related to giving
rather than to praying. We must
give. The work is suffering from a
niggardly and parsimonious giving.
But our giving ought to be accom-
panied by our prayers. We need
more praying as well as more giving.
And we will have larger giving only
as we get more prayer from interest
ed hearts. Let US remember that
Prayer Inspires the Gift. Nearly All
missionaries have given themselves
in answer to the prayer Of their own
heart. Judson, Livingstone, Patons
the haystack heroes, and many or
our men In the field, were called to
the work when in prayer. Prayer IN
the Epworth League will lead some
of our consecrated youth to go them
selves and thus answer their prayers.
So, too, prayer will inspire the giving
of money. In emergencies our mis-
sion boards have received great gifts
after great prayer has been offered to
God.
Prayer will Perpetuate the Gift,
The need of modern missions Is not
spasmodic giving, but steady stream
of unceasing benevolence. A man
may give for missions because he Is
stirred by a passionate appeal. But
he will perpetuate his gift only when
he follows his dollars with his desires
his property with his prayers. Prayer
will not only increase the giving Of
the church, but it will make it per-
manent and steady. The enterprises
of the mission field are too vast to
rest on the vacillating contributions
of a careless constituency.
Prayer enriches the Giver and Hon.
ors Our Christ. God has promised
great things. But they are all con-
ditioned. Prayer is an important con-
dition of many Of the missionary
promises.

The cccoanut better, like that made

The cGcoanut better, like that made
from cows milk. contains seven per-
cent of soluble acids. 1t will keep
from Is to % days without any sign
of acid reaction, and it contains from
25 to 80 times less water than ordi-
nary butter, while its slowness IN
oxidizing makes it specially suitable
for pastry and cakes, as they will not
get stale so quickly when made with
it as with other butter
Another advantage claimed for CO,
coanut butter is that it seems to be an
antiseptic medium, while milk is
most favorable to the culture OF MI
crobeS.
At the Central hospital of Vienna
and in various hospitals in Switzer'
land experiments have been made
with this new butter and the results

Coeoanut Butter.

A new butter is now being made
from the milk of the cocoanut. This
milk, when subjected to a tempera-
ture OF over % c., runs into a yellow
oil, which is imported in great guam
titles from India and Africa. The bet
ter qualities of it are obtained from
eCeylon, Cochin-China and Austral-
,Ra. The nut produces so percent OF
-oil. and one acre of land planted with
: cocoanut trees would produce over
400 pounds of oil. This has hitherto
been used for fats for soap or for ma
; chinery oil and the better qualities
: employed in the manufacture OF text
lie goods.
In France this oil is now subjected
to q special treatment and converted
into butter.

Not kind kind deed but
later returns to bless the sver

vealed to us that in its broadest
sense the heart makes the man, and
that the words, 'As he thinketh in his
heart, SO is ne" are not the express
sion of a poetical fancy, but of a lit
eral and awful, as well as an encour-
aging truth. The basis Of all true
reform lies in the fact that body and
soul not only reflect each others
moods, but that in the ideal man, the
Christ man, the soul is undisputed,
master Of the body.
The world has gone wrong for many
generations, and become entangled
in the meshes Of inherited maladies,
simply because men have chosen
their own way in opposition to Gods
way. The worlds mental attitude has
been the fruitful source of bodily evils
from which it has suffered. If the
universal mind had convinced itself in
the beginning that unselfishness is
more profitable than selfishness, that
purity pays dividends, while impurity
lays assessments, and had continued
through the centuries lovingly to live
along the lines of the Creators plan,
pain would be a thing unknown, the
word disease" would never have
been coined, and death would be like
the sweet sleep Of childhood, from
which we would wake in heaven. So
far as the world is Gods world, it is
perfect; SO far as it is mans world
1T needs the succor Of mighty remedial
agencies.
Now, since mental conditions pro-
lduce disease, then it must follow that
mental conditions may check disease,
and even produce health. Let us
ilinger here for moment, for we are
ilxneeling on the ground as the Christ
passes by, and touching the hem Of
his garment; we are on the threshold
of very wonderful discoveries, the
value of which cannot be estimated.
If it be true that to possess the Christ
Npirit is not merely to bear the Ills
of life serenely, but also to prevent
them to a degree, then for the first
time we lift our religion out of its
environments and make it
priceless, practical truth. When it
lis forced upon us that no man can be

wholly well, either in body or in soul,
who is not consciously Gods child,
and that We are well or i'll in body
and soul in proportion to our flial
relations to lin, then we put religion
where it belongs, on the strong foun-
dation from which in our ignorance
of natural and moral laws we long
ago removed it.
The important fact for men to rec
ognize is this; that the cardinal vir-
tues are the cornerstones of a healthy
body and healthy character. 3he
spirit Of the Christ dissipates Nat
condition Of mind which produces dis
ease and tends to reproduce health as
surely as wheat seed, if properly SOW
ed, will furnish wheat crop. The
assertion is entirely within the
bounds Of known scientific law, that
the ideal man is he who reverently
looks to heaven and says, "In him
live and move and have my being"
Here is the grand lesson to ponder,
that faith is reposeful, that it is the
equivalent of strength, for 1t is the
miracle-worker that not only enables
us to berr pain, but lessons the pain
itself.-Rev. George II, Hepworth.
