Unanswered Prayer.

An unanswered prayer Is no proof
of an %unhearing God. There may be
reasons in the great purposes of our
heavenly Father why a petition may
fail of a direct answer. The creature
may err, not understanding the will
of God; but the Creator cannot err.
As many q child of God has looked
back over his life he has seen where
the goodness and benign wisdom OF
God has been manifested in with
holding the things asked for.
But if the direct answer to the Pc
tition has been withheld we believe
that in some way there will come a
blessing because Of it, and that no
earnest, faithful prayer is ever lost to
the suppliant. 1T may not be my
way; it may not be thy way; but yet
in His own way the answer will
come. 1t may be years in coming; 1t
may be in some wholly unexpected
way, through some channel we never
dreamed Of, and which at the time
of the prayer wo knew nothing Of;
but it will come to us with blessing.
Indeed, we in our obtuseness may
be living in the very atmosphere Of
answered prayer and not be aware of
it. If the answer does not come in
the way we look for it, let lis look
around and see il the flower we
longed for is not blooming elsewhere,
or if our life at some angle does not
touch God more intimately than be-
fore. We may look for the answer in
Il talIy-ho, but it may come in the
form of some poor beggar on the
street.-United Presbyterian.

Red O and Blue,

Three-year-old Allan had a very
aristocratic grandma, who prided her
self on her own and her husbands
blue-blooded ancestry. She told him
heroic deeds of them and warned
him from ever playing with boys of
low degree.
One day Allan came screaming up
stairs to his mamma and grandma,
holding his hand up covered with
blood, where he had cut his little
finger. They were both greatly
alarmed, as he was a child who rare
ly cried or complained when hurt.
Mamma washed the blood off and,
examining the cut, said:
why, dear, it's pot SO very bad.
Does it hurt O so much?"
"I'm not cryin' cause it hurts" he
said, but cause it's only red blood,
and grandma said 1 had blue

P~uritans Had Fine Shoes.

The early settlers came over to
trade and to prosper a we'll as to
seek religious and political liberty.
History commonly deals with the
compact signed in the cabin of the
Mayfower, the sufferings Of the first
settlers, and their struggles against
the savages, both mar and beast. But
it is certain that the forefathers, and
their wives and daughters, brought
over many articles of fine and stylish
apparel, and it may be that several
pairs Of fine and stylish boots and
shoes we're in the trunks of these
stern persons who landed in Plymouth
In 1920.
The early %forefathers certainly laid
the foundation of modern trade.
They certainly brought over love Of
fine dress. They established in this
country the foundations of trade, and
the belief that it is a persons duty to
dress himself as finely as he possibly
can From these early foundations,
Americans have built up a trade, and
IN appreciation of dress that is Sec
ond to none in the world. 1t is be-
cause the great majority of Americans
of the present day admire their
stylish and well appearing garments
that retail trade 1ourishes.-New
England Grocer.

Bunyan's Sharp Answer.

John Bunyan wrote "The Pilgrims
Progress" in Bedford Jail, where he
was confined for his religion. A Qua
ker came to the p%rison@and thus ad-
dressed him:
Friend Bunyan, the Lord hath
sent me to seek for thee, and I have
been through several countries in
search of thee, and now I am glad
have found thee"
Bunyan replied, Friend, thou dost
not speak truth in saying the Lord
sent thee to seek for ME, for the Lord
we'll knows that l have been in this
Jail for some years, and if He had
sent thee He would have sent thee
directly."-Scrap Book. N.Y.-30

How to Know q Mad Dog.

Hydrophobia is In reality so rare
and so terrifying that its symptoms
and treatment are little understood.
AS a matter of fact, the commonly
accepted expression of madness in a
dog is often misleading. The real
mad dog does not shun water, as IL
is said. On the contrary, mad dogs
often rush to the water and drink
eagerly, if they are able to swallow.
The mad dog does not foam at the
mouth. 1t does not run amuck, snap-
ping at everything in it's path.
What, then, are the indications of
the mad dog? To those familiar with
a given dog the surest symptoms,
and the one which should excite the
closest attention Is a distinct and un-
accountable change in the dogs dis
position-a staid dog becoming ex-
citable and a frisky one dull. That
condition does not necessarily mean
rabies, but it is suspicious, and if, in
addition, the dog has trouble in swal-
lowing-as though it seemed to have
a bone in it's throat-beware! That
dog should be instantly tied up, be-
cause if it be rabies it takes but a day
or two for ferocious instincts to de-
velop.
The unmistakable evidence, how
ever, of a. dog with rabies is the
sticky, whitish saliva which covers
the teeth and shows on the drawn
lips. The eyes glare and are red;
the dog has paroxysms of running
fury, during which it barks hoarsely.
which alternate with periods of tenn
porary exhaustion. - Outing Maya

SashcS of Green.

AS jade green is such a popular
color for all manner of things this
season, it was to be expected that this
color would be widely used for sashes.
These are made broad when worn
with white. ecru or pale gray frocks.
The newest way in which they are
used, however, is to form something
of a waistcoat by being lifted quite
high, nearly to bust, and to be COW
cred at sides and back by the loose
coat. This is a smart touch on after
noon coat suits that have long skirts.

1'akin" Gods Promises in Vain.

Il should no more dare to fret than
curse and swear," said John Wesley.
A writer in commenting on this re-
mark justifes Wesley by saying that
to swear is to take Gods name in
vain, and to fret is to take Gods
promises in vain. Read the Bible to
ind its fear nots," and see how often
COD uses these words in speaking TO
His children, even in the midst OF
danger and sore trouble. Resting on
the promises is far wiser, far nobler,
than fretting; it. is living With God
o'erhcad. THE Wc!lspring.

Profitable Things.

Tho sooper we are hi pressed that
this present life is uncertain and very
short. and that the future life is sure
and endless, the better it will be for
Us. Also TO learn that material
things cannot satisfy the soul, but
that a man must be rich toward God
before that aching voil can ever be
filled, and that goodness is profitable
unto all things and we may add unto
all time.-The Rev. w. +. Bryan,
Methodist, Dallas, Texas.

Novelty.

Very many women like a touch OF
individuality about their children's
clothes, and some have taken to m
bordering German script letters in
red mercerized cotton in the cross
stitchings on the middle of the front
of the white linen Russian blouses.
The initial of the child may be used
or the initial of the last name, it mat
tiers not at all, and sometimes these
letters are three inches in height.

Row to Find Our blessings.

If one should give Inc a dish OF
sand, and tell me there were particles
of iron in it, I might look with my
eyes for them, and search for them
with my clumsy fingers, and be I'M
able to find them; but let he take a
magnet and sweep it, and how it
would draw to itself the most lnvisl-
BILE particles by the power OF attrac-
ton!
The thankful heart, like my finger
in the sand, discovers no mercics; but
let the thankful heart sweep through
the day, and, as the magnet finds the
iron, so it will find in every hour some
heavenly blessing; only the iron in
Gods sand is gold.--O. w. Holmes.

A Drunkard's Picture Gallery.

Fond du Lac, Wis, has a unique
ordinance requiring the photographs
of habitual drunkards to be placed
in all the saloons in the city, with
a notice forbidding saloonkeepers to
sell liquor to them on penalty OF
losing their licenses. This new sort
of rogues' gallery is growing rapidly
under the fostering are Of the police
courts, but one addition to it was
made voluntarily. In it is the pho.
tograph Of one poor fellow who
begged to nave it placed there with
the others, as his only chance Of
freedom from the tyranny of strons
drink.

The New Sleeve.

While the new sleeve is long, 1t Is
better not to lengthen an elbow sleeve
by adding a long cuff of embroidery
or trimmed material. Better leave
the sleeve at it's original length and
finish with a turnover cuff of en-
broidery or lace. These cuffs, by the
way, when put on short sleeves, are
not fastened with link buttons. The
edges are Joined.
