IRREVERENT PRAYER.

My brother, take heed to that for which thou
prayest! There lies the difference between the
pious and the impious mind 1t is not thy pray
ing that makes thee good-not even thy sincerity
III prayer. 1t is not thy sense of want that makes
thee good-nOt even though expressed in abject-
ness. 1t is not thy feeling of dependence that
makes thee good-not even thy feeling of depend
ence on Christ. 1t is the thing for which thou
prayest, the thing for which thou hungerest the
thing for which thou dependest Every man
cries for his grapes of Eshco; the difference is
not in the cry, but in the grapes. 1t is possible
for thee to ask from thy God three manner of
things Thou mayest ask thy neighbours vine
yard; that is bad. Thou mayest ask thine own
riches; that is neither bad good; it is secular
Or thou mayest ask to be made unselish; that is
holy 1t is not thy prayer that thy Father prizes;
1t is the direction of thy prayer. Dost thou deem
thy child hero because he asks thee for ho-
day? Nay, though he sought it sorrowng and
with tears But if he asks thee to let him share
his JOY with brother sister, then thou art ex~
ceedingly glad; then thou sayest. Thou art my
son; this day have l begotten thee" SO with thy
Father. He waits till thou criest for a crown
till thou prayest for His presence longest for His
light, slightest for His song hungerest for His
home, faintest for His football, caest for His
company, Earliest for His tread seekest for the
sign of His coming. That will be thy Fathers
highest joy.-George Matheson.

DERELICTS.

Here is one of Rev. j. Wilbur Chapman's stories
On recent journey to Porto Rico, while facing a
terrific storm, entered into conversation with man
who knew the and who was master of the ship
said to him, " Do you fear the storm?" Not in the
least he said for by good seamanship we are able to
weather almost every storm that has ever swept
across the mighty deep" Then l said Do you fear
the fog? and he said " Not to any extent because
different vessels have definite track along which
ordinarily they sail, and know just about when
and where to expect other vessels the highway
OF the seas" " What them" l said to him do YOU
fear the most?" and he said, We are the most
afraid of derects, for a derelict is a dismantled
unnamed ship. 1t is a ship sailing to no harbor a
snip without a compass, without crew. and without
a captain"
As he spoke, it occurred to that there were a
vast number of derelicts to-day all about us in
life-men who have captain on their vessel who
have set out for harbor, but drift idly with the
tide a menace to all others who would lead the
best OF lives, of no to themselves and incapable
OF serving Others Some of these derects were once
IN the church, but unfathfu to their duties they
have slipped away; of them. never having
known Christ, have become genuinely Indifferent to
the claims Of God. 1t is thought of great cheer
however, that there is who waits to board every
drifting vessel to make useful that which has been
useless, to strengthen that which has been weak and
that one is Jesus Christ the captain of our salvation

OLD SERMONS.

Experts and wise judges in the matter have de-
cared that the best sermon is the old sermon
that was never written and read, but has been Of
ten preached, and every time of preaching has
been recast and improved. The minister can
put into such sermon his maturest thought his
ripest knowledge his richest religious experience
The old text, of course, is good possibly the old
divisions are still valid, the old gis and intention,
still excellent. And not being tied down to every
phrase and sentence the preacher can leave or
what is no longr tenabe, no longer believable or
applicable to modern life and experience. He can
put in what is now true and relevant and nrac-

record Of all the express trains in both direc-

Central stations between the hours Of . and
o'clock During that time eight-car trains were
run on a Roadway averaging four minutes. In
only few Of the trains were persons standing,
and they could have found seats in the front or
rear cars Of the train. Inquiry as to whether
the storm would not have had the effect OF cut

TO TEST TRANSFER RULE.
Real Estate Dealer disks Damages
for Conductors Refusal

The legality Of the New York City Railroad
Company's new regulation that a passenger on
surface car must ask for a transfer the moment
lie pays fare go without transfer is to be
tested in a suit brought by Nathan J. Richman,
a real estate dealer Of The Bronx. He got on
car in Canal street the other day and wanted a
transfer TO the Third avenue line but the con-
ductor took his nickel and walked 10 the back
platform before Mr.. Richman remembered TO ask
for the transfer. The car had gone just one
block before Mr.. Richman could attract the con-
ductor's attention.
Give me a transfer he said.
The conductor refused, pointing to the copy OF
the new regulation display in the MT
Richman demonstrated. saving he had paid Lis
fare only Il minute before, but the conductor
only grinned. MT Richman took the number Of

conductors refusal, and went TO the Office Of his
counsel. Clarence NJ. Lewis at No. 19S Broad

the company for $50 for a breach Of the transfer
law the papers for which are filed in The Second
Municipal Court OF The Bronx. Mr.. Lewis said
yesterday:
This case will be carried to the Court Of APP
peals n necessary. I have advised Mr.. RiChman
that the company has no right 10 make regu-
lati0n that nulliies state statute. The law is
plain that "A passenger is entitled to transfer.
The company probably VIII set up the defence
that the regulation which cOmpels passenger

Is within the law, but il VIII be easy TO prove
that the regulation is intended to evade the law.
In investigating the subject, ] nave ascertalhed
that the company has given orders to its con-
ductors 10 avoid giving transfers whenever pos

a transfer is demanded at the time Of paying
fare and then refuse transfers on the pretence
that no demand was made at the right time.
