to lead him to Christ" how wonderfully
God would bless such an appeal; how
quickly people would respond privately
and in public prayer, and how rich the
return would be upon the life of the one
prayed for. We need not have mo-
ment's doubt as to the result God has
promised to- answer prayer, and such a
prayer offered flor the salvation of an
otner Will never fail toreach His throne.
l am inclined to think that much Of
our work is faulty. in that it is too gen.
eral Specific endeavor is necessary in
our everyday life. and it is equally neces-
sary to- our religious and missionary
work. Names and things should be
brought before God as a proof to Him
of our earnestness and our desire, just
as the true Christian brings daily and
hourly before God the little needs and
trials and necessities which press upon
MN. mere have been wonderful illustra-
tons OF this. as in the Barnado Homes
OF London; also in the life of that Won
derful man. George Muller, and his or
phan homes.
We need never to be afraid to bring
before our Father little things or per-
which lay before God the works in
which We are interested and the person
whom We love. Oh. what joy it Ia to
SPEAK the names Of those whom we love
before God. and to know we are leaving
them, as it were, in His care! Much
more when we are longing for some
blessing to come upon some one, or
working to lead some one to Christ how
1t inspires us to simpy breathe before
God their names in private prayer. and
in the quiet moments when we sit in
Gods church!
Finally. let us keep. if we can. a little
book, called, perhaps, THE Book of
Prayer" In which We will write the
names OF those for whom we wish to
pray, and in which We can make notes
of the results which have come. We do
not want at all to be mechanical, and
some things are too sacred ever to be
written down with pen or pencil; but on
the other hand we want to be sys-
tematic. for we are very human, and
oftentimes memory fails US. Therefore,

arena of the universal brotherhood Of
mankind; but society does not open its
arms to those who are ungracious and

The church opens its doors to all. but

How may we show ourselves friendly?
There are three ways-by looks, words
and actions.
Enemies arc made by looks. The coun-
tenance reveals the disposition. y con-
tcmptrous look is a chilling and deadly
blast to kindly and generous impulses
\ sour, stern, peevish expression Of the
face not only drives away friends, but
creates enemies.

Influence?
The sour-visaged Christian docs not
make converts; nor do proud and naughty
airs and disdainful looks invite esteem
and confidence, which are essential to the
existence of true friendship.
VI is a very good way of showing our
selves friendly by putting on, and wear
ing as we do a daily garment. a pleasant
agreeable and cheerful countenance.
Then kindly looks should be accompa-

Jagow is as great a stickler for correcti-

Kaiser Wilhelm had promised to send
representative of his family to the we'd

because his figure would harmonic with
Manuel and Prince Wilhelm. When
Jagow heard of this plan he made pro-
tests. Here was Wilhelm II sending his

A wedding which got over difficulties
like these. affecting the highest politics,
should not have been disturbed by any
thing else. But this was not the last
perturbation, Formulation and combina-
ton in nerve-racked Sign1aringen. A new
trouble was caused by the mind which
works In Manuers head. Manuel is not
a budding Frederick the Great He has
been uncommonly-even for q king-ill
educated, and his mind runs eternally on
inconsiderable triflea. And when the mar
rage contracts and drafted settlements
We're being drawn up he raised a mo-
mentous question about an ormolu clock.
The timepiece Is in the museum OF Sig
maringen schloss, and it bears the Portu-
guese arms. It was brought by Man
uels great aunt in 1861, when she mar
ried the late Prince Leopold of Hohen-
zollern. When Princess Antonio carried
off the clock from Portugal she left be-
hind two ormolu candlesticks to match it.
and Manuel lately brought the candle
sticks to his Richmond house. He asked
for the clock. Princess Augustine V. w.
A. NJ. l.. j. NJ. e. backed him UP. Il

because it was tied up in an heirloom
trust. of which he and his brother, Crown
Prince Ferdinand of Roumania, are ex-
ecutors. and to let it out of the museum
would require the execution of a deed.
That Is impossible. because at present
Ferdinand Of Roumania is executing
d eds with half a million men somewhere
down Sofia way.
This clock took entire possession of
Manuers mind. He brooded on 1t and

harsh and abusive criticism. We are not
perfect-no one Island there is always
danger of just retaliation for any un-
kind words We may speak.
Words Of love and gentleness, words of

grand ways of showing ourselves friendly
Looks and words are the easiest and
cheapest form of expression in making
known a friendly disposition. Yet how
many there are who fail in kindly looks
and gracious words!
The highest way of showing ourselves
friendly is by deeds.
1t is not enough TO look pityingly. and to
speak such words as BE We warmed and
filed and yet not give the things need
full for warmth and comfort There is a
world of truth in the familiar saying,
ACTIONS speak louder than words"
Are any hungry, in mind or body? We
should feed them with food. or with SYM
pathy and love. Are any naked? Clothe
them. Are any sick? Visit them. Above
all things else, 1t is by deeds of kindness
that we show ourselves friendly and
thereby win to ourselves friends
The friendships of earth are very pre-
cious. Without friend life is unbear-
able, but We have no need to be friend
less. There is friend that sticketh
closer than a brother"
God is the greatest Of all friends. We
must show ourselves friendly to Him,
and in the same way that We show 1t to
our neighbors-by our looks, words and
actions.
The friendship of God and Of men is a
transcendent possession. and 1t comes to
all those who show themselves friendly
to God and to men.
On earth the kindness of friendship Is
the divine music of good will to men,
On this harp the tiny fingers Of infancy
and the most shriveled fingers of age
may play heavens sweetest tunes, I'LL
ing all the sacred chambers of memory
with ineffable melody. And in heaven the
same kindly fingers may forever play on
the golden harp OF a thousand strings.
In strains Of infinite sweetness. the song
Of redeeming love. in that majestic
chorus around the throne Of the Eternal.

If you eve get to asking yourself
II life is worth living, if work ever
gets to pressing a little too hard, If
the electric flare at night ever gets to
seeming a bit garish, and the daytime
light a bit fiat, just turn your field
glasses upon the events which testify
to the dexterity of the one sex in pin
ming responsibility upon the other.
You will have to laugh no matter how
you feel.
For instance, In a mid-western
state. not SO long ago, It was serious
ly proposed that, as the two great
discernible factors in the social evil
were married men and the way wo-
men Dress" a bill should be formu-
lated for the legislature which, steer
ing b~lind-eyed past the married men,
should regulate women's dress!
And, again for instance, In this ban
ner year for the birds, one woman's
club after another is passing resolu-
tons approving Of the drastic pro-
posal to prohibit absolutely the i'm
p%ortation Of all plumes, skins, or
feathers of wild birds, and condemn
ing the commercial greed of men
which fattens on the anguish Of the
songsters OF the forests. And birds of
paradise are bobbing on some or the
women's hats as the resolutions go
through, with a thrill of pity!
