stringency came on and currency prac-

the banks could not get the cash 70
lend to the farmers. In consequence
the farmers could not buy any more
cattle TO fatten. But, worse still, they
could not borrow any money on the
cattle they had on their farms and
ranches with which to buy food for
them for the winter.

BY Rev. c. 7. Wyatt.

Prayer is not a performance; it is
communion with God, and designed to
bring us into personal touch with Him.
Its necessity and power in the Chris
tian life is emphasized throughout the
Scriptures Without the exercise of
prayer there can be no growth and
development spiritually
A definite period should be set apart
for this exercise.
"Take time to be holy
Speak oft with thy Lord"
Three times each day every pious
Jew prayed, the Fs. said. Every even
ing and morning and noon win ! pray
and cry aloud and He shall hear my
voice. Ps. So: II.
Every spiritual leader has been a
man of prayer. Moses had the most
weighty responsibilities upon him. But
amid the stress Of duty he took time
for prayer.
Daniel was prime minister Of King
Darius. but he went to his closet three
times a day and prayed and gave
thanks to God
Christ was pre-eminently a man Of
prayer. He spent whole nights in
prayer.
Luther Knox, Wesley and White
field spent much time in prayer. This
was the secret Of their strength and
power.
We should have a place to pray
Enter into thy closet"-Call it the
souls secret chamber. Nathaniel's Sc
cret place of prayer was under the fig
tree Jesus said to him, when thou
vast under the fig tree saw thee"
John 1: as. In the secret of His pres
ence we learn the resources Of strength
for times Of temptation. In the closet
you tell your fears to God and He
whispers back His assurances. In that
room YOU are fashioned into the like
ness Of His Son. 1t is a wonderful
privilege to come 10 God in prayer
Only earnest prayers are answered.
Petitions which do not move the heart
of the suppliant need not be expected
to move the heart Of Omnipotence. The
kind of prayer that is answered is the
kind that expects an answer.
Meyers says, There is no sense tele-
graphic for God TO send a cargo Of
blessings unless we are at the wharf, to
unload the blessings when they come.
God gives no answer TO half-hearted
petitions. We should pray definitely
for what we want, but always close
with "Thy viii, not mine, be done"
Sometimes God answers our prayers in
the denial Of our petitions. The re-
ward-thy Father which seeth In Sc
cret, shall reward thee openly. Moses
went up into the mount alone and talk
ed with God. But when he came down
all Israel saw his face shine with a
heavenly radiance. Intimate fellowship
with Him has a manifest effect in the
outward. visible life
Our words and acts will become
channels for the flow of spiritual
power Men will know that we have
been with God.
They that wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength.

The Delaware Republican, OF Dover, is making
an effort to increase its subscription list and we
trust that it will succeed That paper was started
few months ago and appears TO be making head
awy. We can say without hesitation that it is a
good, clean, consistent weekly newspaper, which
is staunchly but not unfairly Republican, and it
should appeal to the Republicans Of Kent county
The Dover newspaper field to be sure, is over
crowded. there being three Democratic and two
Republican weekly papers at the State capital,
but if the three Democratic papers manage to
exist. the Republicans about the State capital and
in so good community as Kent county ought TO be
able to support their two papers. The Delaware
Republican, so far as we have observed, is not
factional organ but works for the welfare Of the
party as a whole.

RICHMOND SHOWS
SPLENDID GROWTH
Real Estate Men Regard Activ=
ity in This District as Indica=
ton of City's Prosperity
John II. Speck Says Those Who
Sought Suburban Homes Now
Seek Inside Property

The remarkable growth of the Rich
mond district during the last few
months is regarded by real estate peo-
pie as one of the strongest proofs of
the prosperity of San Francisco. This
is particularly noticeable when it is
realized that there has been consider
able activity in suburban property, and
also a great deal of building in San
Mateo.
This activity has not been confined
solely to the vicinity of San Mateo, but
extends as far south a. Los Altos and
Palo Alto, where men have built homes
whose business is in San Francisco.
Real estate men, while approving of
the expansion of the city down the pen
insula, say that a great many people
seem to overlook the fact that invest
ment IN land within the city limits is
more profitable, perhaps. than outside
the boundaries.
They point TO the increase in values
in the Richmond district and some who
first invested have cleared a handsome
profit from their ventures.
Among real estate men who have in
sisted that the safest and the best in
vestment for any one is city property
is John II. Speck, and in talking over
realty conditions yesterday he said:
There has been a large inquiry
lately for Richmond property, showing
ing again to the purchase of city lands.
These things go in cycles as it were.
For time everybody wanted to Sc
cure land in the suburbs, and one
would imagine that the entire popula-
tion was about to desert the city for
the country Now the pendulum has
swung back again and the desire is to
seek homes in the Richmond district
and in other parts of the city.
This. is not surprising, for Richmond
offers many advantages to the home
seeker. 1t is adjacent to the park, no
fault can be found with the sanitation
and il has a good car service.
There is more activity north of
Clement street, and especially north of
Lake street, in building than ever in
the history of the Richmond district.
Homes costing all the way from
$50 TO $4,000 are being erected. and
as the demand is growing stronger
daily for property Richmond before the
end Of the year viii have received a
large accession to its population"
