Christ and Modern Society.

Gone of the strongest pieces of objective evidence
in favor of Christianity is sufficiently enforced by
apologists Indeed, / not aware that I have
ever seen it mentioned. 1t is the absence from the
biography of Christ of any doctrines which the subse
quent growth of human knowledge in nat
ural science ethics, political economy, elsewhere
has had to discount This negative argument is real.

Christ did teach. For when we consider what d

Reading Prayers.

Upon this the Herald and Presbyter thus COM
ments:
I'VE are not now disposed to discuss the propriety
or eXpediency of reading written printed PRAYERS
In public worship, but rather the ways in which pray
ers are read and low they should be read.
I'VE worshiped recently In a church which uses
the order OF service prepared by the Assemblys Com
mittee. The minister a man of mature years
strong and wise and capable of leading the congre-
CATION without printed forms In extempore PRAYER
he is highly gifted. He is reverent thoughtful and
sympathetic and leads people very to the throne
OF God. In reading prayers he rapid, unsym-
pathetic and formal We have always enjoyed his
eXtempore prayers, making them our own without
effort, but could not, by effort maintain a
devotional spirit during his reading Before the
thought of one petition had taken hold of us he had
begun another.
1--WE found ourselves considering whether the rapid
recltative might not the natural method in read
ing, week after week. written petitions We
remembered that in Episcopal churches had heard
prayers read rapidly and in a formal unsympathetic
way. We dismissed the thought and tried to follow
the next petition. Then we remembered that some
one once said of the preacher that he had a holy
one and we wished might hear it, instead of his
business-like, rapid transit elocution. When the
last amen was said felt humbled because whatever
the preacher and others had DONE we had not really
prayed.
"a week later we worshiped in another church
which uses a form of service including the Lords
Prayer after the invocation. The invocat ton was
reverent and appropriate, but when the minister
reached the Lords Prayer his tone changed and his
time quickened Indeed, he was so rapid that the
congregation could not keep up with him. He may
have prayed he uttered the words but we found it
impossible to do anything but keep up with him.
Prayer should be prayer whether it is written or
eXtempore. And prayer takes time. He who leads
IN prayer should remember those whose minds work
only at ordinary speed. The Lords Prayer can be
prayed slowly thoughtfully and reverenty in half
minute Every petition is important and in that
time every petition be grasped and really prayed
Shortened to a quarter of a minute it ceases with
most people to be prayer and becomes simply reci-

formally recited. The tendency of all forms is to

Thinketh No Evil.

When over the fair fame of friend or foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall instead
OF words of blame, or proof of thus and so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow-being vet
May fall so low but love may lift his head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet
If something good be said
No generous heart may vainly turn aside
In ways of sympathy, no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorifed
If something good be said
And so l charge We, by the thorny crown,
And by the cross on which the Saviour bIed.
And by your own souls hope of fair renown,
Let something good be said

{ PERSISTENT KNOCKING.
The persistent knocking of the
new opera house by the Dakotan
lis certainly reprehensible. After
first stating that the front door
opening to ,be six feet wide, then
six feet four inches, it now adj
mits the entrance is six feet eight
inches wide, but calls it scrimped
and narrow.
This entrance is wider than the
front doors of our fine Hughes
county court house, or of the
present state house.
The truth is Pierre is getting
the best, most convenient and
safest opera house in the state,
and The Daily Dakotan is con
st,lntly mlsrepresenting the i'm
proyement, by refusing to speak
we'll Of it. The Dakotan is in
juring itself by such tactics, as
well us every citizen of Pierre.
Our prosperity depend apog just
such enterprises as the new Pierre
