How To Pray-Luke II: 1-13; Mark
II: "a, is.
The rabbis gave prayer formulas to
their pupils. John Baptist taught his
disciples to pray. The disciples of Je-
sus had been with him, had seen him,
had heard him pray. 1t appeared to
them as though it were friend talking
to friend. Surely, there is some con-
nection between his marvellous life In
public and his constant habit of pray
er. Would not the Master teach them
his wonderful secret? And so they
come to him. saying, Lord, teach us,
take us into your school, teach us to
pray"
Quick was the glad response, and
'the prayer that teaches TO pray"
came from the Masters lips, encourag-
ing the definite act of prayer and sug-
gesting great and profoundly signif-
cent ideas to be embodied in true
prayer. Simplicity and brevity are
taught in this first lesson, but after
eighteen centuries Christendom knows
no expression of thoughts and feelings

Worrying About the Undone.

1T isn't the work that broke me
down." said a certain minister who
suffered from temporary collapse; "it
was the work that | had TO leave un-
done. So the great African pro-
moter and financier, Cecil Rhodes,
when dying, is said to have exclaimed
over and over: so little done; so
much to do"
Piled-up work unaccomplished Is
more wearisome. as every worker
knows, than any amount of work
which has been turned off. Many a
woman goes to bed more tired with
the thought of the tasks left over
than with all that she has been able
to do, which seems often dwarfed
into lnsignificance in comparison with
the thousand and one things which
are waiting her hands.
We really have nothing to do with
the work which Is beyond the present
hour and strength. Sufficient unto
the day is, not only the "evil there
Of" but also the days tasks. More
people are broken down by trying to
carry to-morrow's load to-day than
by the hardest kind of effort to-day.
Let tomorrow alone: 1t Is Gods.
not yours. Do what you can and then
leave the rest with Him who can stay
all our doing at His Word. There
will be plenty to do when you are
gone. wherefore worry about It? It
Is worse than foolish; It is wicked to
waste strength for doing by worry
about the undone. And the fruit OF
IL is usually collapse and premature
death. Worry about the undone
means the undoing of yourself and
your work.-Wellspring.

The Dcarth of Conversions.

The dearth of conversions is
striking and serious fact that calls
for immediate action on the part of
the Church of Christ. Torpor and
decay are in evidence everywhere.
Revival is rare thing, while to many
in this and other lands 1t has become
historic. We have grieved the great
Head of the Church by our stolid and
wretched unbelief; and while specula-
tion supersedes faith-whether in
pew or pulpit--the dearth must re-
main Whitefield once deplored that
"the consciences of the people were
being stroked with feathers dipped
in OIL which is the case to this day.
Contrast this state of things with
the Divine application of the Word,
as "a sharp threshing-instrumen
having teeth" This almost looks as
though men were trifling with the
Gospel, and jeopardizing the souls of
those for whom Christ died. Sure
ly." said Chalmers, "it was a sight to
make angels weep, when a weak and
vaporing mortal. surrounded by his
fellow-sinners, and Fastening to the
grave and the judgment along with
them, finds it dearer object to his
bosom to regale his hearers with an

intelligent, loyal presentation of it

wholly attributable to a down-grade
ministry. The people must share the
blame, and do something to remove
the stain. Still, there are many places
where the truth is preached, where
worldliness is tabooed, which are
passing through a crisis and mourn
ing over the paucity of spiritual re-
suits. How are we to account for the
relative fruitfulness of an orthodox
ministry? Given the eloquence of
Spurgeon, the compassion of Nc
Cheyne, the zeal of Wesley, and the
simplicity of Moody; what then? We
need the definite power of the Holy
Ghost.
But" it may be said, "the need of
power is admitted; yet, despite our
praying, it does not come" 1t may be
that while we cry for power, the Lord
is calling for purity! Let the Church,
cleansed and Spirit-filled, rise en-
masse. with its infinite resources of
prayer, of faith, of talent, of wealth;
let the self-life of its members be
really crucified; let the glory of God
be the goal of all our efforts, and the
conversion of sinners our unquench-
able desire. Then we may expect
showers of blessing that shall re-
fresh and keep fresh the saints in
Zion, and indirectly slake the soul
thirst of multitudes throughout the
land. n. Goad, in London Chris

WHEN THE ANGELS CAME.

People tell the story yet,
With the pathos of regret.
How along the streets one day.
Unawares from far away,
Angels passed with gifts for need,
And no mortal gave them heed
They had cheer for those who weep,
They had light for shadows deep,
Balm for broken hearts they bore,
Rest, deep rest, boundless store;
But the people. so they say,
Went the old blind human way
Fed the quack and hailed the clown
When the angels came to town.
1t has been and will he so.
Angels come and angels go,
Opportunity and Light.
'Twixt the morning and the night
With their messages divine
70 your little world and mine.
And we wonder why we heard
Not whisper of their word,
Caught no glimpse of finer grace
In the passing form and face;
That our ears were dull as stones
To the thrill of spirit tones.
And we looked not up, but down,
When the angels came TO town.

The War ON the American saloons.

In two-thirds of all the territory of
the United States the saloon has been
abolished by law. Forty years ago
there were 3,500,000 people living in
territory where the sale of liquor was
prohibited; now there are 36,000,OOO
people under prohobitory law. Since
that time the population of the coun.
try has scarcely doubled, while the
population in prohibition territory
has increased tenfold. There are 20,-
600, 900 people in the fourteen South
ern States. 100000 of whom are
under prohobltory law in some form.
In 1900 there were IS 100000 under
prohibition in the United States;
now there are 36,0O0,000. In eight
months Statewide prohibition has
cleared the saloon from an area as
great as that of France. In that area
there is a solid block of territory 800
miles ncrth and south by 720 miles
east and west, in which on the first
