A The South Dakota State Fair.
Greatest Invention Of the Are

State Fair Visitors

Two stations of wireless telegra.

the grounds each day OF the State
Fair at Huron. What is more, every
South Dakotan who visits the Fair
will be given an opportunity to make
. practical use OF this the most won

lance communication. How wireless
brought the Carpathia to the aid OF
the Inflated Titanic. how Jack Binns

will explain the uses Of wireless in

NEW YORK.-For nearly an hour
~ the other day J. P. Morgan Jr. and
Robert Bacon, former ambassador to
France, were held prisoners on the
thirty-1rst door Of the Bankers Trust
building.
1t was nearly luncheon time when
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Bacon fumed and
fused in the elaborate suite on the
thirty-first floor Of the Bankers Trust
building which has been set aside for
J. P. Morgan Sr. for holding secret
conferences.
Mr.. Morgan went up to the thirty.
irst floor for a conference with Mr..
Bacon. First they took an express
elevator to the twenty-ninth floor. An
auxiliary runs up to the private suite,
but it was broken, so the two men
walked up.
They then turned the knob Of the
door which leads to the suite, slammed
1t and proceeded to get down to bust.

long and at its conclusion Mr.. Nor.
gan went to the door.

A GREAT A FAIR
In Reputation and Material Equip

The South Dakota State Fair Is

population and development, the
great far of our state is excelled no.

Last years record was one to mar
vel at and ~conjure with. In the mid
die of June, the states of the Missis-
sippi valley were hit by q damaging
drouth, and for & time, a successful
State Fair at Huron was considered
in despair. For a short time, it was
thought that but few counties could
send creditable exhibits. But the
pioneer spirit of South Dakota got
busy with the result that the 1911
fair was the greatest in the history
of this state. It efectually a.

Christ has brought to the world, Of
the Father. It IL only when we un-
derstand the true nature OF God that
prayer becomes possible. This reve-
lation Is brought to us only through
Christ's Interpretation of God. The
god Of science and philosophy does
not furnish any incentive to pray.
Balm. the scientist. describes the god
Of science AZ q double-faced some

God 10 Called Father.
It Is q remarkable thing to notice
In almost every instance In the New
Testament that when God Is referred
to In connection with prayer he 10
called Father. This In itself is an
encouragement to prayer, as we'll as
indicating that prayer is a possibility.
1t Is expected that a child will ask its
father for things 1t would not ask a
stranger for. The fatherhood Of God
Is not only a motive to prayer, but at
the same time a thought which makes
prayer both desirable and possible.
Do l find 1t hard to do as some peo-
pie tell me-namely. ito pray all

but remember that like as a father"
God deals with his children. | do not

request. But you may say, II an not

ton until he properly obeys? Like
as a father" But. you say, II do not
understand God" Who does? Shall
a father not grant a child's request
until he is understood by the child?
Then the child's request will never be
granted. Like as a father pitieth his
children, SO the Lord pitieth them
that fear him"
But the Father to whom We are
to pray Is an almighty Father, one
who is absolutely sovereign and om-
nipotent. There are no difficulties
with God, and We must always re-
member that More things are
wrought by prayer than this world

tan. Prayer is the native air of the
child of God.
What Is Prayerf
Prayer has been defined as "An Of
fering up Of our desires unto God for
things agreeable to his will, in the
name Of Christ, with the confession OF
our sins and thankful acknowledge
ment Of his mercies." Yet prayer is
more than this; 1t is a dialogue, not a
monologue; it Is a vision as we'll as
a voice; 1t is a revelation as we'll as
a supplication. Prayer is not a mere
venture and a voice Of mine. but a
vision and a voice divine.
In the heart Of every one prayer is a
sense of need, but a sense Of need
is not prayer. Prayer is asking for a
felt need and asking God, not the uni.
verse, for 1t. Prayer Is more than an
asking, 1t Is a receiving. q bearing. a
learning Of God. q and com.
