THOUGHTS ON THE
CHAINLESS PRAYER.

EDITOR OF THE News
With your permission, l wish
to express some of my thoughts
upon what is being circulated thru
the country known as the Chain
less prayer. In it is request to
write nine copies of the prayer
and send one every day for nine
days and TO nine different persons.
1t is said to have been first started
by one Bishop Lawrence, and he
who will not write that prayer
will meet with some horrible ca
lamity, and he who will comply
with it will meet with some happy
experience, yet the bishop does
not give one single reference from
Gods Holy Book, touching upon
that point, therefore we fail to see
any great Importance by comply
ing with the request. Not that
we don't believe in prayer, but in
this particular form and method
we fear will cause more supersti-
ton than real spiritual life among
the people, as it carries with it a
threat that would bring sudden
calamity if we should fail to carry
out this particular form. Now it
is very evident that he who never
prays can never expect to expert
ence that life and happiness of
spirit that is promised to the hum
BILE consecrated christian, whose
heart is lifted up to God in thank
fulness and prayer. Every day,
as st. Paul says, that first of all
prayer intersession and giving of
thanks be made for all men and
again he would that men pray
everywhere lifting up holy hands
without wrath or doubling. So
we think that prayer does not con-
sisteso much in the words spoken
or the manner in which it is writ
ten, as in the sincerely of the soul.
The; great Poet says prayer is the
soul sincere desire unuttered or
expressed, the emotion of a hidden
fire that burns within the breast. Sc
our Lord says the power of prayer
is in Faith. In speaking to his
disciples once he said, "Whatso.
ever we ask in my name believing
nothing doubting,ye shall receive
So let us not fear God as tho h,
was some great torrent ready tc
send Affections upon US, but fear les
we should do something that woult
offend his Holy Majesty. And sc
we prefer to give heed to the
Blessed Lord and take his advice
on this question. When he was
teaching his disciples he said
"When thou prayest enter int
thy closet and when thou hast
shut thy door, say, Our Father
which art in heaven, etc (knowr
as the Lords prayer.) And so my
dear readers and friends our pray.
er to God is that he may help US to
have more faith in our prayers
that he will not with hold any good
things from us. And now may
his blessings rest upon all who
read these lines is my prayer.
From one who is lover of Christ
aud his people.

If your christianity will not last
all the week and stand the wear

may be sure you do not possess the

The bulletin In part says: From
the time OF the first settlement Of the
country this has been one of the great
est sources OF loss to the rancher and
farmer. The country IL not suited to
cultivation, and always furnished ref
uge to cougars, wolves. and other AMI
mails of their class. Now that the gov
eminent has undertaken the admins
trAtion of land Of this character, active
WORK has been started to exterminate
such animals.
TT Is part of forest rangers duty
to hunt predatory animals. and with
the addition of skilled hunters the
force, whose business Is to hunt, ex-
cellent results are expected.
THE appointment in the Dixie ma
tional forest was made directly In re-
sponse to a petition to the forester by
the citizens Of Pine valley. Conditions
there are so bad farmers are afraid to
allow their children to go after the
milch cows In the evening and the
losses from stock killed were heavy"

VIZ HEN Franklin Pierce was pres
w ident Of the United States his sec
rotary of war was Jefferson Davis, aft
erward president of the Confederate
States of America.
During the Pierce administration
the government improved the Dis
trict Of Columbia In many ways. One
of the public utilities was the Wash
ington aqueduct, famous in legend as
the Cabin John bridge.
This big stone archway was, at
the time of its construction, the
largest bridge of masonry in the
world. 1t was over 220 feet long and
its arch over 80 feet high.
The bridge was not completed un-
til Lincoln's administration, and as
It was erected under the supervision
OF the war department., a stone tablet
was inserted In the masonry bearing
the names of the presidents and secre-
taries of war who had to do with
the work. OF course, Jefferson
Davis name appears with the rest.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1907-08-31

When the war OF the rebellion be-
gan, and the erstwhi1e secretary Of
war became the executive head of the
confederacy, the name Of Jefferson
Davis was chiseled of this tablet.
and to-day glaring blank occupies
the space.
AS sectional ps ,judice has disap-
peared. this little oppression of ami
mostly has been ree-etted by many
who approved and wis might have
cheered the deed at the time of its
commission. More than orce replac-
ing the name has been suggested.
A few days ago the president re-
ceived letter on the subject from
Walter p. Phillips of Bridgeport.
Conn, and this document he referred
to the war department.
This Is the first time the agitation
has been put into any definite and
official form, and It is believed steps
may soon be taken to restore the
tablet to something resembling its
former self.

IT IS predicted in official circles that
the forthcoming bulletin of the bu-
reau of labor will show that the In
creases in wages this year have broken
all records and that the prosperity
which Is 30 much heralded is tangible
and that the working people are fully
participating in it. Whether, they are
receiving their full share Is a question
which cannot be answered officially or
otherwise to the satisfaction of all
concerned, but 1t is stated that official
figures will show that the advances in
wages during the last IL months have
been unprecedented.
Along with the increase in wages
has been experienced an increase In
the cost of living. The purchasing
power of money has decreased both
when applied to labor and to living.
While trusts and monopolies have In
some instances destroyed the power of
supply and demand to affect prices. 1t
Is promised that normal and natural
rules will apply when the department
of justice completes its programme Of
attacks upon the combinations. So far
as supply affects prices Secretary Will
son says that he will produce bounti-
full harvests. While he cannot promise
bumper crops he says emphatically
that there can be no crop failure, and
that the yield of the principal crops
will be abundant, large enough to go

THE STORY.


m EVER before had David met such
IN trying situation. His soul was
vexed within him until 1t almost
seemed as though he would go mad.
Here had come the appeal, or rather
order from Achish. the Philistine king,
who had befriended him In his hour
Of need and had given him Ziklag as a
possession, asking that David and his
men join him in an expedition against
Israel. And what could he do? He
dare not refuse-He dare not fight
against his own countrymen. But
what could he do? and he lifted his
eyes to the heavens, bright with their
myriad stars, and groan escaped
from his anguished soul. He was sit
ting alone in the darkness striving to
find some way out Of his dilemma. On
the morrow they were to go forth, and
he had given his promise to Achish
that he would stand with him, but
he had not dared to tell his men as
yet, for he feared that they would not
receive the commission kindly.
He recalled with troubled con-
science how a few months before,
when he had gone out and destroyed
the Geshurites and the Amalekites to
to south Of Judah, that he had de-
ceived Achish. making him believe
that 1t was against his own country
mer he had fought and that he had
thus forever separated himself from
them. And now Achish was going to
prove his loyalty to him. All night
long David struggled With the prob
lem. but with the coming Of TIE

tressed; for the people spake
Of stonIng hIm."-A Ark day
for David. Troubles seemed to
be descending upon him In such
a flood az to utterly annIhlIate
him. But the distress and dan
ger Of that day was to drive
him to God and to keep him
from the scene Of the terrible
tragedy which was being enact
ed In Israel In the defeat and
death Of King Saul and his sons.
Tho day before, at the earnest
solicitation Of Achish, the Phil.
istlne king to whom David had
sworn allegiance, he and his
men had gone forth with the
army Of the PhiIistines to wage
war upon tho nation Of Israel.
Imagine the predicament into
which David was plunged. He
dare not refuse to 90, and yet
with what awful misgivings he
must have gone forth, undoubt-
eddy praying to God every step
Of the way that he would save
him from his predlcament. And
50 the Lord did, for the suspl-
cions Of the PhiIistine lords
was aroused and they insisted
that David and his men be sent
back. And that morning they
had departed for ZikIag, .the
city where the women and the
children and all the substance
which belonged to David and
his men, had been left. But
imagine the awful anguish with
which they came upon the
blackened ruins Of their city,
and found that every living soul
and all the substance had been
carried off.
Now Il was that the army
turned upon David with all
manner Of accusations. Hero
was the curse which had fallen
upon them for presuming to go
out and fight against their
> brethren In Israel. Here was
the Judgment Of God for making
alliance with a PhiIistine king.
And they would have stoned
David, but In his distress he
turns to his God, and there he
finds the grace and strength to
Withstand the angry forces Of
his men. And the Lord directed
that the pursuit Of the maraud-
Ing band be taken up.
Thus was David taken away
from the scene Of the conflict
which was being at that very
moment waged between the
Philistlnes and the Israeiites.
Who knows but what II this
calamity had not fallen upon
him he would have been tempt
ed to have plunged Into the
battle In defense Of his country
men7 And 90 during that try
Ing period, God provided a task
for his hands which took him
away from the scene Of the con-
fiict. God gave him victory and
restored to his hands and the
hands Of his men all that had
been taken, including the wo-
men and children. And now,
instead Of having awkward ex-
plantations to make to his breth-
rem In Judah as to why he had
not come to the help Of his
countrymen, or why he had In
tho beginning gone forth to aid
tho Philippines, he 10 able
