PRHYE,R

Madison, Wis, July 28. Rev.
A, L. Tull, a retired Methodist
minister, has lost faith in the
Wisconsin legislature and has re-
turned the check for So which
he was paid for delivering pray
er in the senate, with a letter to
State Treasurer Dahl, reading as
follows:
/ received your check for So
for delivering q prayer in the
senate. [ thank you and senate
for the courtesy, but return it.
1t would be purely comnercialism
to accept So from the senate for
asking the favor of the Lord.
Really. it seems as if the $672
paid for prayer during the session
was lost money. AS the legislat-
ure did such rotten business on
all temperance measures, it in
dicates that not q single prayer
reached the Lord for the promo
ton of temperance, but that He
favored the breweries and saloon
keepers. How could prayer for
money avail?
Il have been sunk in debt for
sixteen weeks and needed mon
ey worse than any Of them, but
