THE PRAYER THAT PREVAILS.

How shall we pray the prayer that
prevails? If we could answer this
question, life would look very differ
ent to us: most OF our troubles would
vanish away. Let us try to gain
from the teaching of Him whose
prayers did prevail, something of the
great art, If we may call it so. If
his disciples long ago could master
it so that their prayers prevailed,
then also we can learn it.
First among the teachings of the
Master on this subject, We find the
passage beginning: ASK and ye
shall receive" and as given in Matt.
Z, we read that the Father is as
ready to give good things" to his
children as we are to ours. So We
are to ask for whatever we want,
that is plain, whether it Is for the
needs Of our souls or our bodies.
Yet We are all perpleXed because
we have asked for things which we
have not received. Why is this?
Perhaps there is something to learn
about the manner of asking. From
the parable of the publican and sin
ner we learn that one should go
where he is unseen of men, alone
with his God; where his mind is not
distracted by outside things, so that
the sense of closeness to the Father
wakes strong within him. Christ
felt this need and often, we read
went to the mountain top to pray.
From the story of the importunate
widow we discover that there is as
much need of persistence in prayer
as in any other department of life.
And all things, whatsoever ye shall
ask in prayer, believing, ye shall
receive"
When we pray, let us always say
as did Christ at the tomb of Laza-
rus, Father ! thank thee that thou
hast heard me, and know that thou
nearest me always" At the close of
our prayer give thanks again that we
have received in full measure that
for which we have asked. This and
this only is faith. Without faith
enough to give thanks to God who
hears and answers all believers, our
nro,-ore will nnt oyail
Perhaps we shall not at once see
with our mortal eyes the answer to
our prayer; nevertheless it is there
and If our belief We're of the apos
tolic kind, we would see it. Then
We must continue to pray, to give
thanks for the answer, stop worrying
about it! Practically speaking, here
is the root Of the trouble with us.
We will not trust, after we have
prayed, and God cannot and will not
answer the prayers of anxious and
worrying Christians.
"Son, all that l have is thine,
says the Father to the older son who
has never wandered-and as such We
have a right to ask our own. Don't
you know how proud a father is
when his children look him in the
face and demand the very best he
has TO give? He is proud to be com
manded of them; he loves to serve
them. Don't you think God loves
10 serve us, too, and is pleased when
we ask that his kingdom may come
TO earth. and his will be done? Il

DIAMOND TRADE LOOKING up

New York, Oct. 2-The recent mark
ed improvement in the diamond trade
is regarded in business and financial
circles in this city as one of the most
trtstworthy signs of an early and gen.
eral return of prosperity. The dia-
mond trade was one of the first to
feel the depression arising from the
war. That the condition of
the trade is now on the steady road
to recovery is evidenced by the fact
that several of the largest factories
devoted to the trade in New York
are now running full time Many of
those interested in the trade predict
that one of the results of the war will
be to make New York. instead of Ans
terdam, the center of the diamond
cutting industry of the world.

COAL FOR SOUTH AMERICA

Mobile, Ala, Oct "A new indus
try-that of shipping coal to the South
American marlzet-has been officially
inaugurated in Mobile with the sail

Silva laden with 1854 tons Of Ala
hama coal for Buenos Ayres. The
shipment was made by Mobile capital
lists as an experiment, the plan result
ing from a recent report that South
American countries were hard push
ed for coal, the fuel selling for $24 a
ton in Buenos Ayres. AS the British
government has forbidden the ship
ment of coal from Great Britain, a
new field for Alabama coal is now

Curiosity

A man came into my office the
other day for a little social chat.
With him was youngster who had
an inquisitive temperament. He
was into everything. While annoy
ing, he was amusing. He will make
a reporter if this tendency is prop
erly trained. He has a nose for
news. The elder man scolded him
into some semblance Of behavior.
Our conversation Jagged for a
moment. My friend picked up a
letter from my desk, looking at it
carefully. | was shocked at first.
Then thought it was a form of
nervousness and that the man was
really unaware Of his act. When
to my surprise he said, "Oh, a let
ter from - - (seeing the
name on the envelope), looks sus-
picious; what are you writing to
him for9''
| turned and looked at the boy.
Though just scolded for his mis-
chievous curiosity, he was looking
at his relative elder with admira-
ton. l am not sure but as the boy
looked at me | thought l caught an
expression in his eye-"Well,
what do you think Of that?" I was
thinking the same thing.
Just then the telephone rang. 1
haven't answered his question yet.
There was nothing in this letter
that could not be published broad
cast. But the point of this story is
my oVn curiosity. Had l left the
room, would the man have read the
letter?
He proved conclusively that po-
sition does not insure good breed
ing. But if he had read it, he
would have been thief. He would
have been none the richer-I none
the poorer.
But would he have read the let
ter? And how about the example

URGE PRESIDENT TO
ADJOURN CONGRESS
Continued from First Page)

pro tenn of the Senate. anxious to break
the deadlock took the floor on the
State of the Union discussed the cot
ton situation and urged that the ses-
sion should be closed and Senators
should go home and get in touch with
their constituents. Senator Clarke took
the floor after Senator Kern had made
a motion o adjourn for the day.
Senator Clarke was in the chair and,
after declaring the motion lost said
there We're few matters which could
be considered, without a quorum pres
ent. One of them was the state Of the
Union. He then called Senator VIII
liams to the chair and in eloquent fash
ION told of his reasons for desiring cot
ton relief legislation and why inasmuch
a sefforts to get this had failed he
thought Congress should quit
Among other things Senator Clarke
said that himself and some of the
other Southern Senators had agreed to
90 everything they could to defeat the
war tax unless there was cotton legis-
lation. But the House on repeated roll
"aHs had defeated this proposed legis-
lation.
Now why make grand stand play
about doing something when you know
you can't do it," said Senator Clarke.
When the war tax bill was passed
without a cotton relief amendment, II
was seen to be impossible at this time
to get what we wanted. We made every
effort to do 1t. Nothing is to be gained
by this sham battle"
Senator Clarke then urged that the
session be ended and members be al
lowed to go home and get In touch
with their constituents. He took the
ground that the House, in the resolu-
ton which 1t sent to the Senate yes.
terdav. had already given Its consent
to adjourn. He thought that adjourn
ment could be brought about simply
by the Senate passing resolution or
adjournment.
He declarerd that so IA as he was
concerned he was going to catch
train at 6:15 this evening and leave the
city. e
tor Clarke with speech in which he
discussed the cotton situation. ana
likewise. expressed his willingness TO
wind up the session.
In view cf the continuation OF the
deadlock, considerable talk was heard
that the President might exercise his
constitutional pre-ogative and declare
CONGRESS eGjourned. This he has the
right t. do When they annot agree over
the time of adjournment.
