PRAYER

Dear Miss Thomas: 1 want to say
a few words about prayer. Do we pray
enough? No. there are a lot Of us that
do not. have heard people say: II
say my prayers at night and that is
all that Is required" But IL Is not. We
should pray in earnest. and II the an
swer doesn't come Just then. It Will
some time. The Master never overtaxes
our capacity for patience. our ability
to wait. He may postpone long an
answer to our eager, heart-broken
prayers. but He. Who knows us far bet
ter than We know ourselves, has tested
our strength, has fathomed the limit
OF our endurance, and He has promised
that we shall not be tempted beyond
that which we are able to bear.
To His weak and faltering followers
He tempers the scorching fires of trial;
their. sorrows shall not exceed their
weakness and bring them ruin, If they
hold fast to the Masters hand.
To His stronger disciples the fires Of
temptations or trouble may wax into a
great confiagration, the hour Of answer
ing prayer may be postponed into the
misty future. but the waiting and the
pain shall not last too long, and out
OF all this grief they shall emerge still
stronger and purer.
The Great Physician tarries long by
the way, and our hearts almost break
with the waiting; we see no nope beyond
this pitiless silence, this empty waste,
this yelled Presence, but He has not
forgotten
Unanswered yet! the prayers your lips
have pleaded
In agony Of heart these many years,
Does faith begin to fail? Is hope de-
parting?
And think you all in vain those fall
ing tears?
Say not the Father hath not heard
your prayer!
You shall have your desire-some
time, somewhere"
Earnestine, you have my sympathy.
hope you will be happy again.
Man must ask and God will answer.
Yet we may not understand,
Knowing but our own poor language,
All the writing Of His hand;
In our meager speech we ask Him
But He answers in His own:
Vast beyond our thoughts the blessing
That we blindly judge as none"
With best wishes,
CELESTIA.

In that most extraordinary series Of arti-

the subject OF the life after death, the opin-
ions of William Dean Howells, Of Colonel
Thomas Wentworth Higsinson. and Of John
Bicelow have been read with intense interest.
In his paper in the Bazaar for June Mr..
Bigelow says in part:
''Ours is the only species OF the animal king
dom that is never satisfied with what at
any moment il is. has been, or has done. Its
successes are regarded practically as but steps
70 a higher plane. We always struggling
20 accumulate power; whether In the form
OF health, OF strength. OF knowledge, Of ex-
perfence, of skill, Of wealth, Of popular es-
TEEN or influence. The passion to better our
state or position; to accumulate more OF
something that we value. is an emotion which
distinguishes US more than any other species
OF the animal kingdom, and animates us TO
the very close of our earthly life. . Pa, .
What pretext excuse can be made for
the creation of a planet-not to say incal-
cuIahle number of planets-and stocking ours
with creatures whose environment is specially
calculated to cit them to become purer, wiser
and better than they ever do become while
incarnate, and yet who are always impeled
py desires which result in more or less sue
