fore the broken window was discov-
cred by the patrolman on the beat.

the show window of the Clark Jewelry
Manufacturing cmpany, at 327 West
Fourth street, and stole medal valued
at 81. Both places were visited be-
tween and 4 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. 1t is believed the man watched
his opportunity and broke the window
while the policemen were at another
part of their beats. S. B. Smith of 1914
Adair street, reported to the police yes
terday that his home was entered early
yesterday morning and two watches, a
brooch and a chain and locket were
stolen.

THE POWER OF PRAYER
By Rev. w. B. ARROWOOD

as one of the essential forces in the
great plan Of Gods universe. This
force has its seat in Christ, the King
in Zion, who Is head over all things
for His church. The church therefore
draws upon Christ by prayer for what
ever power is needed to carry on her
work, and to meet and repel the oppo-
sition Of whatever character that seeks
to destroy or retard that work. "All
power Is given to me Go We there
fore Lo, am with you always
The power of God Is at the command
of the man Of prayer.
LII What are the conditions upon
which man may WELD the omnipotence
of God? l. He must be in right rela-
tion to God; must be in harmony with
the will and purpose Of God. A man
of power in prayer, then, must be a
man of God, a man reconciled to God
through Christ 1.-The effectual fervent
prayer Of a righteous man availeth
much" but ''the sacrifice Of the wicked
is an abomination unto the Lord
Prov. XIV, 8.
Even reason declares that God would
not and could not put his power at the
disposal Of his enemy. All the prom
ises Of God to answer prayer safeguard
his sovereignty, honor and glory. IF
We ask any thing In my name, I will
do it." IF we abide in me and my
words abide in you, ye shall ask what
We will and 1t shall be done unto you"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-02-05

they are needed for the honor Of God
and the welfare of His kingdom, we
are enabled to pray believing that we
shall receive them, and we do receive
them. Thus by the prayer Of faith,
mountains that are in the way Of the
kingdom Of God are removed. II his
tory should be written Of the power of
prayer in connection with the great
missionary movement Of the past CEN
tury, 1t would contain a record Of many
a huge mountain being removed by
prayer that stood in the way Of the
church carrying out the great commits
sion of her Lord. There Is no lack In
the history Of the church Of abundant
confirmation that prayer has all the
power our Lord ascribed to it, when he
said by it his people could pluck up
mountains and cast them into the sea.
Prayer Is the creatures strength, his
very breath and being.
Prayer Is the golden key that can
open the wicket Of mercy.
Prayer Is the magic sound that saith
to Fate, so be It,
prayer Is the slender nerve that NOV
eth the muscles Of omnipotence,
Wherefore, pray, o creature, for
many and great are thy wants;
"Thy mind, thy conscience, and thy
being, thy rights, commend thee
unto prayer.
"The cure Of all cares, the grand pam
acea Of all pains,
Doubts destroyer, ruins remedy, the
antidote to all anxieties."
