The only ones, therefore, who now
enjoy the privilege of prayer are those
who have been accepted of God back

Instead of eXhorting our friends and
neighbors to pray to God and to trust
for the fulfilment Of their prayers, we
should give them the Scriptural coun-
sel-to repent of sin and by faith &C.
cept the forgiveness of their sins, &C.
cording to the testimony Of Gods
Word, by making a full conservation of
themselves to be followers of Jesus.
A Form of Sound Words.
Responding to the request Of His
disciples Jesus gave a sample of a
proper prayer. We note it's brevity,
simplicity, directness, orderliness.

great Creator, whom, through His ap-

During the excitement attending the
nashight performance, Detective John
J. Flynn, OF Lahey's staff attempted
to force an entrance to the house
through the front door. He was met
by Ralph Raperto. who says he Is
steward OF the club. Raperto pushed
Flynn and Flynn promptly placed him
under arrest on charge Of assault.
The prisoner was taken to the Nigh;
Court where Magistrate Breen was sit
ting. Flynn swore to his complaint
and produced police witnesses to say
that Raperto had committed at least
Q technical assault on a police officer
who was acting In the discharge Of
his duty. Magistrate Breen disposed Of
the case In the following decision:
Tho police have no right to enter the

Double Standard of Morality

An exchange takes this view
of the double standard for the
sexes: Women in their Ignorance
and men in their arrogance and
dup]icity have created a false
standard of morals. What a
travesty it is to say to the prodi-
gal son, who sowed his wild oats
and committed all the sins against
God and man, you are forgiven,
come home and we will kill the
fatted calf, ''and then turn around
and chastise, frown upon and
forever brand as a social outcast
the prodigal daughter. who has
sinned and repented. That is
not fair. There should be but
one standard of morals, and the
same rules of conduct should be
cOplied TO the man and the wo-
han. The prodigal son can over
step his bounds and commit all
the sins against God and man,
and is forgiven. But how about
the prodigal daughter? The girl
who has made just few little
mistakes. What happens when
she comes home? Is she receiy-
ed with open arms, is the best
robe brought forth and put upon
her: is the fatted calf killed? No
she is brought into the house
through the back door lest the
neighbOrs should see her return.
Her sin is not forgiven. Her
past follies are cast up to her
every day.
Girls and women are largely
responsible for the two standards
of morals. for knowing the lives
that young prodigals are leading
and often conyersant with their
excuses receive them into their
parlors and social circles, and
court the friendship and atten-
ton of such men
That which is wrong for the
woman should be wrong for the
man. and when civilized society
shall give the prodigal daughter
an equal chance with the prodi-
gal son. we shall have gone a long
way toward the solution of the
social evil problems.

BOY HELD IN ROOM
MANGLED BY BULLDOG
IlhUman BrutsS Laughed al
the Sight

With his legs frightfully torn and
suffering from shock, a twelve-year-
cid lad, William Holmes, is at his
home on Ohio street, Buffalo, n. Y,
while the police are securing the
country for the inhuman brute who
held the boy in the rear room of a
store Saturday afternoon while a bull
dog chewed and mangled his limbs
Several men, so the lad says, stood
by laughing at the brutal performance.
After the dog had chewed at the legs
Of the helpless boy he was released
and chased from the store. Young
Holmes limped TO his home, where the
wounds were cauterized.
Saturday afternoon the boy began
throwing stones, and by accident one
shattered the window of the Marine
Supply store. A moment later a man
issued from the door, grabbed young
Holmes and dragged him into the
store, where a bulldog lay.
The police say that the manager o.
the store admits that a bulldog is kept
on the premises, but denies that fhe
man who dragged the boy Into the
store is in the firms employ.
