The conventionality of European
society has made it's impress upon the
social phase of life in Rhodesia,
the eccentricities which one would
naturally expect to find associated
with life in a frontier province are not
lacking. This is the conclusion, at
least, of a Topeka man who spent,
six years in h a country.
Land of Antiquity.

The common saying is that when the
fascination of a Rhodesian sojourn is
once experienced, it becomes irresist-
IDLE and one, as though by a hypnotic
spell, is drawn back to this region OF
nchantment
"One might ask in what does this
charm consist. for the luxury and

couple of the Thibetan prayer wheels,
such as 1 had seen the monks and the
mendicants twirling as they went
sightseeing about the town. Some OF
them carried very much bigger prayer
wheels than 1 cared to bring nome,
but 1 could not see that their interest
in the process was any less mechani-
cal than that of other men who
twirled smaller cylinders, containing
fewer prayers stamped on strips Of
paper. This Thibetan practice car
ried mechanical praying to its limit.
The belief is that every time the
Up in the mountains of Thibet it is
reported that huge prayer wheels arc
affixed to water wheels.
All is for outward seeming; there
is no relation between the prayer
wheels and the life.

eyes of men, that he might pray to
the Father who seeth in secret.
Let it be said, as strongly and as
often as possible. that the religion
that exists for the eyes of men is
heathenish and unchristian. 1t runs
squarely against it's reaching and the
mind of Christ. True Christianity
has its highest and hottest hours in
the a closet. 1t is not con-
cerned with mems praise, but with
Gods favor. Thus, to be "a lead

tian worker, expose one to all the
perils of man-serving heathenish re-
ligiosity.
Praying the Big Prayers.
This great lesson closes with the
model prayer which we commonly call
the Lords prayer. Jesus meant it for
a model. 1t in itself is not a sufficient
Ietition for the Christians life, be-
cause of its impersonal character; but
it does show how all praying should
include the big petitions. 1t recognizes
that God is on the throne even more
than it recognizes that h petitioner is
OF his knees. Its first supplication IS
for the glory of Jehovah: the second is
for the coming of His Kingdom; the
third is for the doing of his Will. What
a sweep and a horizon and an atmos-
phere we ave there! Anybody Who
lives in the spirit of the Lords prayer
is lifted up out of petty S~elf-intere t.
There is one petition for the things
that keep a nan in life, and the 1t is
followed by the great prayer for the
spirit of forgiveness, which is greater
bread. After hat comes the cry
for deliverance for sins thraldom.
By this prayer, as by all His utter
ances, was not the Master trying to
teach His disciples to live worthy of
the Kingdom of which they were mem
bers? He sought for them sincerity
and unselfishness of character, and He

OF the handful of his intimates. Je-
sus had none to stand true in his hour
of crisis. John did make his way TO
the cross, and he was not far away at
the hour of arrest. This measure of
fidelity and friendship were rewarded
by the opening of the windows of heaY-
en- to the prisoner of Patmos. God re-
serves the great rewards for loyalty.
The assumption of this topic. that
fidelity is an exclusively Christian vir-
tue. is of course not true. There are
heroes of f~aithfulness in the Old Tesla
