4, "The Ideal Christian. ". His
Prayers" Matt. VI, 5, i3.
BY William T. Ellis,


One OF the big things or religion, which
grows bigger the more 1t Is considered, Is
this matter of prayer. So used to II are
Christians hat they scarcely pause to con-
slider It's magnitude. For, in simplest
terms, prayer is the power to move the
power that rules the universe. 1t means
that man may prevail with God. Some
men have tried to get around this stupen-
dous proposition by talking of the "psy-
Geological reflex" Of prayer: and by dis
coursingy abstEusefy upon psychic currents
which are affected by the mental attitude
of prayer, Most OF which is sheer bosh.
II prayer. as taught by the scriptures and
especially by Jesus, means anything. It
means that God hears the petitions OF
His people, apd makes answer to them
according to His omniscient wisdom and
His father-love. II this topic sets a few
thousand persons to doing real thinking
upon the subject of prayer, 1t will have
added to the welfare OF the world and
the power of the church. r
Selfish prayers may scarcely be adj
dressed with propriety to a God whose
other name is unselfsn love.
What we need and what we ask for are
not always identical. God Is likeIier TO
answer our wants than our wishes.

Prayer has not many conditions; IL IL
had, the ease and simplicity and purpose
OF prayer would be defeated. But belief
and submission are essentials. God de-

prayer wears a serene and unruffed

the school OF prayer. The confidence that
our times are In the Fathers hands L.

the lessons that the prayer-taught early

COT TON PICKING

CHURCH DEBT
Members of Oakland City Baptist
Congregation Go to Work
as Field Hands.

Persons passing by the cottonfield
of A. p. Morgan in Oakland City
Tuesday were astounded by the spec
tacle of girls, young women and staid
matrons industriously picking the
white fleecy bloom and slowing it
away in capacious sacks and bags.
The Oakland City Baptist Church
is more than a hundred dollars richer
to-day as a result of their endeavors.
The members of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety a short time ago assumed $3.50
Of the $1,700 debt which burdens the
congregation from the erection of a
new church in 1909. They already
have paid off $125 of their subscrip-
ton, and hit upon the novel plan Of
picking cotton to raise the remain
Ger OF it.
Not many of them were accustomed
to the hard work of the cotton field
and several of them fell by the way
side as the day progressed. Besides
the regular pay of so cents hum
dred pounds given to all the pickers,
prizes were given to the women who
picked the greatest amount in the
same space of time.
DR.. A. C. Ward has been pastor of
the church since it was built.

els Gently Active.

Healthy old age is so absolutely
dependent upon the condition of the
bowels that great care should be
taken to see that they act regular
ly. The fact is that as age adj
vances the stomach muscles be-
come weak and inactive and the
liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt di-
gestion.
Some help can be obtained by
eating easily dlgested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter Is
irksome to most elderly people. One
thing is certain, that state of con-
9tipation should always be avoided.
as 1t is dangerous to life and health.
The best plan is TO take a mild
Laxative as often as is deemed nee
essary. But with equal certainty 1t
is suggested that cathartics, pur-
gatives, physics, salts and pills be
avoided, as they do but temporary
good and are so harsh as to be
shock to delicate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands of elderly people are fol-
lowing Is to take a gentle laxa-
tive tonic like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which acts as nearly like
nature as is possible. In fact, the
tendency of this remedy is to
strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles and so train them to act
naturally again. when medicines of
all kinds can usually be dispensed
with, This is the opinion OF many

STRONG LOBBY FOR
SUGAR AND WOOL
SAYS WILSON
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington, May 26-President
Wilson told the reporters today that
he believed that the most eXtraordin-
airy lobby ever gathered by the spe-
cial interests to oppose legislation is
now at the capitol working against
the tariff bill. He thinks that the
efforts of the lobby's opposition will
be concentrated against the wool and
sugar schedules.
The president said that he had no
doubt that n few so-called lobbyists
were here on legitimate errands, but
that the great majority were busy
with Misrepresentation of the facts.
However, he was not apprehensive
that the attacks on the wool and su-
gar schedules would succeed.
The president said that he believed
that scientific business methods
would overcome the tariff reduction
and enable the industries to continue
with profit.

Mr.. Bucklin was deeply interested

of the California people. He says
that here is a large number of the
Californians who are not in sympa-
thy with the governor and who have
been won over by the work of Secre-
tary Bryan and the administration.
Those who do favor the Webb bill or
similar legislation may be classed
largely as jingoes, he says.
Mr.. Bucklin says that the Grand
valley is much more desirable To-
cality than anything he found in CAL
ifornia. and he predicts that by 1915
this section will be worth twice as
much as any agricultural section of

San Francisco, May 26.-Resolu-

tain two things with reference to the

is that organized labor will seek
substitute measure by invoking the
initiative on the ground that the
Webb bill is not strong enough: and
the second is that another section Of
organized labor will seek not only
to invoke the Initiative, but will cir
culate petitions for a referendum
election which would prevent the
Webb bill from going into effect un-
til an election decided the matter in
November. 1914.
