Prayer: What is It?

PRAYER, is the thoughts, and
wishes of the heart OF those who
believe in a Supreme Divine Be
Ing 1t is by this Bro, Coonce
that prayer has been made pub.
llcly in the church and privately,
at nome and abroad. for some
two thousand years, for the pur.
pose of bringing the brotherhood
o. man on earth. And then says
il Injustice and iuhumanity or
Is ror&nce is a sign Of brother.
ht =, Then wa are travelling
tie straight and narrow path at
a "apid rate: If not, then VIC are
o. the hroal road.
Now we can find no fault to the
judgement of Bro, Coonce on
tie condition of the so-called
c ristiens, for the last three hun
d u0 years, For everybody must

must sag that voting has not, It
has cone as far short Of bring.
hg it about as praying or prayer
hss. Now we will admit that if
al the people could and would
t'te for such principles as the
BRO. speaks Of, then, we would
have a Universal Brotherhood.
But without that. voting will
make poor showing: In the
days of Washington, the Father
of Our Country, voting did
more in this direction than now.
but like praying since the Apos'
tolic age is past, they both are
TO much for the money. 1t Is
money votes, and money pray
ers. Ano the big Profit system
keeps the people all divided up;
and will just as long as it is in
vogue. And prayer will &c
NEARER exterminating it, than
votes will as long as the people
are led by the money power, for
the love Of money is tn. root Of
all evil" And prayer will take
away from the praying man the
love for money, That is the man
who comes praying IN the man
ner prescribed in Gods Word
And voting will not do this.
Neither will voting bring about
the principles of the days Of the
Apostles; but prayer will bring
tus to those principles.
And the multitude OF them that believed
were of one heart and Of one soul neither sale
ANY Of them that sught Of the things which b,

And with great power gave the apostles

Here was a supply right at the door of
the home market. which consumes
large Quantities of meat but it did not
absorb it. The home buyers either
could not or would not pay the price
offered by outside bidders and the cat
tie went to an Eastern buyer. After
Icing killed the meat will be again
shipped to some distant point. and the
cost Of these three freight shipments
is all added Ia the price Of the meat,
all of which the ultimate consumer is
