control the baser element. Elijahs tour de force" was failure, He could not reform Israel by killing the priests of Baal. Savonarola could not regen- crate Florence by law. Slavery was not abolished by a proclamation, until a nation stood back of Lincoln's utter ance. On Horeb God gave Elijah a parable. First came terrific wind, so strong 1t broke the rocks. This was followed by quake and fire God was not In these evidences Qf force. He was in the sound of gentle stiffness that followed So Elijah saw that not by force but by the gentleness of God does His Kingdom come. Not by vio- lence and miracle. but by quiet human public sentiment, are reforms accomp- lished. In silent werK, Bout of public gaze, the prophet weriSEd after that, and left such a following that the triumph of right followed as a matter of course. Elijah's value to Israel lay also in his power in3 prayer, as the writer of the Epistle of James shows. Let our country's bulwark Joe its pray ing men.

Let us have men who know how to pour out supplied tions with strong cryings and tears as Washington and Lincoln did In the dark days of national history. Better one praying child, than two legislators who frequent the saloon. When a Sax on King saw an unarmed host near the Celtic line of battle and was told they were the monks of Bangor praying for the success of their country's arms he said, Let us attack them first, for they have begun the battle against us,' No citizen is vaiueless who can pray for his country
 There is a Mohammedan legend that Elijah drank of the fountain of life, and lives forever, appearing ever and anon to right the wrongs of men. Who ever stands up among his fellows, with a passion for righteousness, with cour- age to speak the truth when 1t ought to be spoken, and knows how to pray ef- Ifectually, that man has indeed come to the spirit and power of Elijah. of him, too, it can be said, "The chariots of his country, and the horsemen thereof A beautiful bank of roses lav upon the communion table, placed there by Mrs. Lemuel C.
