How True Prayer Is Offered.

1t was perfectly proper for men and
women to offer prayer in the manner
customary in the east, standing with out
stretched hands. in public places or in
the synagogue, providing the heart was
really engaged in the prayer. But when
the worshiper stood in the attitude OF
prayer and went through the forms of
prayer merely that he might attract at
tention and praise from those who would
say, See what pious man that is.
there was nothing for him but condemna-
ton. True prayer is offered in private
The habit of seeking daily secluded
place for prayer should be combined with
the habit of making a secret place of
any spot where We may happen to be-
1t must be remembered, however. that
there is no virtue in the secret place:
the acceptibility Of prayers with God
who sees and rewards depends the
spirit in which the prayer is made.
The hyDocrite is a man who acts
part. The world wants not people who
act a part. but people who are genuine
and devoted, filled with the spirit OF
service inspired by God.

Making a Great Blow.

1t is the hypocrite who gives after the
former manner: OF course. he does not lit
orally sound a trumpet, but he does
make a great blow about his charity.
The fact that the word hypocrte means
"a man who plays a part" and SO "a
man who feigns a virtue which he has
not" reveals the contempt Christ felt for
trumpet giving. Those who give after
this fashion receive their reward as soon
as the gift is made; they have wished the
praise of men; they have it. But
those who give in secret. content that

from Him. And God always sees.

True Religion.
Bp Reb. CHARLES 5telsle.

<<nT doesn't matter very much what man thinks; It

Not creeds, but deeds
These are sayings that often hears from perfect

matter what thinks, because what thinks deter
mines what one does. Creeds not end IN them
selves but they have served the basis Of definite action
1t is an interesting fact in history that the churches which
have been based upon the rigid creeds have accom-
pshed most for men, while those which have been con-

Warnings Against Hypocrisy.

Christ gave two specific warnings
against ypocrisy-pretending to be what
one is not. One of them was: Take heed
that we do not your righteousness before
men. to be seen of them; else We have no
reward with your father in heaven"
There is nothing wrong in doing right
eousness, that is, aims. before men; some
times it is impossible to keep hidden
from others the things that We do in the
name of Christ. Christ's warning was
against doing righteousness before men
..to he seen of them" There is all the
difference in the world. AS one writer
has said. IF our motive is to make
Gods glory more visible, we shall not be

nothing heavy in color and almost
an invisible pattern on sheer
scarf material. Deeper shades for

Outline the design upon very
thin, glazed cardboard. easily bent,

ery scissors and a very sharp pen
knife will be needed TO cut out the
designs. A round punch is helpful
to take out parts. After cutting
out all parts, coat the design with
hot paraffin and press with warm
iron if the design is on cardboard.
Treat only the back of the oilcloth.
A second application OF wax makes
the pattern impervious to moisture.
Use stub brushes, slightly point

ordinary dyes, desired colors, di-
luted with water or gasoline. Dip
the brush into the dye, pat out the
moisture on folded cloth pad.
work the design from the center to
the extreme edge, being careful
not to allow the moisture to creep
under the design. Pin the pattern
to the fabric; keep the goods on a
pad of newspaper; work slowly.
Lift the pattern carefully. When
dry, press the goods on the wrong
side with a warm iron.

hearings. The two democratic members
Senator Lea and Senator Paynter. are
