ARMlSTICE DECLARED
IN MEXICAN WAR
A Peace OF Five Days is Declared I'm
Which Each Side is Allowed to Pro
cure Supplies from American Side.

3 Which Each Side is Allowed to Pro
cure Supplies from American Side.
El Paso, Texas, April 23.-An ar
mistice of five days beginning at noon
today and affecting the districts of
5Juarez and Chihuahua and west of the
an exchange of identical letters sign
ed by Gen. Francisco |. Madero, for
the rebels, and Gen. Juan Navarro for
the government.
The truce provides that there shall
be no movement of troops during the
next five days and that provisions and
medicines may be brought to either
camp from the American side without
payment of duty.
1t is noted that Ojinaga, where a
small federal force is besieged is not
covered in the armistice, the msurrec-
to activities in that district being larg-
ly independent. 1t is expected that in
the event of the settlement of the re-
bellion in Chihuahua. the situation at
Ojinaga and other scattered places
throughout the republic will receive
attention. The moral effect of the ces-
sation of hostilties i'm chihuahua is
regarded pas certain to make settle
ments in other parts of the country
simple.
Actual peace negotiations preced-
ed the armistice. 1t was known that
truce was agreeable to Madero, and
telegram from the city of Mexico in
formed Gen. Madero that Gen. Navarro
had been instructed by President Diaz
to enter into the pact

the Harvest work as well as to inter-

it must always be-that earnest ef-
fort will accompany prayer. Prayers
not accompanied by efforts brand
themselves as insincere. The prayer
which is not of faith is sin-unscrip-

The SOUPS Sincere Desire.
The Poet has we'll defined prayer as

tanned without prayer any more than
a human life could be maintained
without breathing. Who has not no
ticed that all the great Bible charac-
ters used of the Almighty were ac-
customed to go TO Him regularly in
prayer and to seek for guidance from
Him in respect to every matter? Even
the great Redeemer, holy, harmless,
undefiled and separate from sinners,
needed to pray TO the Father-needed
His fellowship and communion-need-
ed to be in touch with the Infinite
One. Several of His prayers are re-
corded, and we are told that He spent
the entire night in prayer on more
than one occasion.
Some may ask, Would the Almighty
change His plans in answer to our
petitions? Assuredly He would not
Indeed, on the contrary, we are eau

O) The one asking must be in
Christ-abiding in Him. This means
that the petitioner has turned from
sin, has accepted Christ and the terms
of discipleship 1t implies that he has
made full conservation of his life to
the Lord and become a new creature
in Christ Jesus. Such, abiding in
Christ, may pray to the Father.
(2( After having come into member
ship and fellowship with the Head, the
Messiah, these must ask in harmony
with Gods Word and promises; in
order to know what things to ask for
they must search the Scriptures,
which are sufficient, that the man of
God may be thoroughly furnished"
So far as the world is concerned,
many of its affairs are purely of
chance, under the permission of natu-
raj laws with which God does not gen.
orally interfere. 1t is in the affairs of
His consecrated people that God as
sures us He takes a special interest.
These are so supervised by His Provi-
dence that He guarantees His children
that all things shall work together for
good to them.
God is pleased to make use of the
little talents possessed by His con-
secrated people, and their usefulness
as ambassadors for God in their own
families and own cities, will depend
very much upon the earnestness of
their prayers and endeavors. Those
VINO pray for opportunities to serve
the Lord and His cause and who
watch for the fulfillment Of their
prayers in the open doors of oppor-
tunity will surely have them. He that
seeketh tndeth, and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened"
What to Pray For.
The baptized in Christ may pray
for earthly necessities, as in the
Lords prayer, Give us this day our
daily bread" but We are not to pray
for more than the bread and water
which the Lord has authorized His
people to pray for The true Chris
tian, instead of thinking about what
he shall eat. what he shall drink
and wherewithal he shall be clothed
instead of making earthly things the
subject Of his prayers, will be think
ing of and praying about his, higher
| his heavenly interests. More particu-
learly he will be concerned respect

Churches TO Observe Peace Sunt
THE VALUE OF PRAYER.
Nehemiah's Petition For IsraI
Nehemiah Nov. 26.

l-AfVNs -Vs
"The effectual, feYerent prayer of a
righteous man ayaileth much."-
James v. 16.
Thirteen years after Ezras COM
pany returned to Jersualem, Nehemiah
went thither with an escort and full
authority from the king of Persia to
rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and to
restore its gates. II would appear
that Ezra's reformation, while very
helpful to the people, brought against
them the violent opposition of their
neighbors as was to have been ex-
pected. The Jews, now considerable
I'm numbers. were despised by their
neighbors, who wished to drive them
out of the land. The wall of the
city was poor and did not Withstand
the attack.
Josephus says that Nehemiah,
wealthy and favored Of the king Of
Persia. resided in the kings palace at
Shushan. He was a pious man and
deeply interested in the land of his
fathers. While walking one day he
overheard two men talking in the
Hebrew tongue, and accOsted them.
They had been to Jerusalem and had
returned. One Of them proved to be
his own relative He gladly inquired
respecting the holy land, the holy city.
Gods temple, and concerning the Jews
who had returned from Babylon. The
sad story of their trials and the
desoltion of the city and its exposure
to enemies touched his heart and led
him to prayer. That prayer is the
subject of this lesson.
Undoubtedly the recorded prayer of
Nehemiah is merely an epitomized
statement, for we read that he made
the matter a subject of earnest prayer
for four months before he reached
the point Of action where God used
him in the fulfillment of his own pc
tition. This reminds us of how our
Lord instructed His disciples, saying
pray We the Lord of the Harvest that
He would send forth more laborers
into His Harvest" While the disciples
thus prayed It would imply that they
