why Is II

There was time, half century
ago, perhaps, says an exchange, when
the Wednesday night prayer meet
ing of the old-fashioned churches was
a most essential part Of the services
of the entire week. In fact, If a
member of the church did not attend
prayer meeting with some degree Of
regularity he was looked upon with a
measure of suspicion as one who was
weak in the faith. Nowadays the
prayer meeting has been abando oned
in some cities, and even In sma ller
towns and villages 1t does not occupy
the place It held years ago. An old
fashioned minister in Kansas tow n
lately made this announcement at
the Sunday morning services: "Breth.
ren, the janitor and I will hold our
weekly prayer meeting next Wedne g
day evening asl usual at O'Clock"
That tells the whole story of a reli.
gious dullness which is not to the
credit of the churches.

little bare feet out between the bars
of her crib. swinging them to the time
Of her music. Jeffy caught the glints
of morning sunshine In her yellow
hair and thought how beautiful they
were-how beautiful Elizabeth was,
Before he got to her his heart had
her in its arms hugging her.

gay little song ended suddenly and the
