The Right to Pray.
From Inc Continent.

No matter whether we ought to pray or
need to pray. this is sure: We have a
right to pray. Having such a God as we
have, with such love as he feels. no laws
of nature and no fixed purpose could pos
sibly take from us the right to come into
close fellowship with him. We do not
pray because we are told we must or be-
cause we feel we need to pray: we are at
our best when we feel IAN hearty desire
to pray"
Professor Knight has given us q beauti-
full prayer which many OF US may use In
our time of weakening in prayer:
20 thou who hast taught as to continue
patient in we'll doing. and dost assure US
that In due time we shall reap IL we faint
not. help us to welcome whatsoever thou,
ordainest: and. though u road wind up
hill all the way. n.ay we persevere to the
end. through Jesus Christ. u Lord.
Amen"
The prayer road of many OF US winds
uphill. yet we And in ourselves q hearty
desire to persevere to the end. That de-.
Stre grows more and more mighty until
the deepest JOY Of life is our laying before
God the burdens that are on our hearts.

full score Of 1o-these ought to be suf-
fcient to give him a high place In the
professional life of the county.
The fact is. the old term. meteor
ology' no longer fits the work of the
weather man He Is beginning to speak
OF his science as "aerology." He is
beginning to chart tho air. There are
rivers In the air. Just az there are riv-
era In the sea. It Is Ignorance OF the
current Of these rivers that has ham,
pered aviation In its boldest attempts.
When the aerial rivers above the At

herr and there undesignedly and With
out traceable cause. The physics of
rain. the nucleus Of the raindrop. the
centers OF condensation. tho cradle Of
wtnds-all these are being patiently
studied by disciplined minds.
And for a much wider purpose than
weather forecast. Is. beyond doubt, of
immense value to the country. On ac-
curate f~orecasting depends millions of
money every day. But the new science
OF aerology seeks yet farther-it seeks
to control the weather. Heretofore this
splendidly audacious illustration of
mans ambition has been confined to
more or less nondescript 'tfainmakers.l
But the weather bureau Of the govern
ment has already contrived inventions
which control frost in fruit growing
sections-fighting the frost by heating
the air. by adding moisture to the air,
by covering the plants. or by mixing
other chemical elements TO the air
which sing in mystic authority. Come
not near! Come not near!" The
beauty Of this fact goes well beyond
the practical value indicated, for the
weather men who invented these con-
trivances have freely surrendered all
chance OF private patent monopoly and
have given them generously to the
farmers without royalty.
Our aspect Of dangerous weather IL
the fog. The weather man entertains
no lesser hope han Of being able to
dtssipate the fog. which makes harhors
dangerous and cities dreary. Hegdoes
not hope. OF course. to blow IL from the
vast fact OF the ocean. but he has been

arrears that he hopes in due time OF be
able to dispel 1t from cities and from
places Of crowded shipping.

ANCESTOR WORSHIP.

From the Japan Society Bulletin. (
It has been said that 1t IL difficult, II
not impossible. for q foreigner to

u a knowledge Of ancestor worship or
ancestor reverence. which il tile basis
Ignorance on this point has misled
many a foreigner.

spect. for ancestors realization Of
the fifth commandment and not i'm
compatible with Christianity-so DR..
Hozumi contends.
There are three kinds:
i. Reverence for imperial ancestors.
2. Reverence for clan ancestors.
3. Reverence for family ancestors.
The sentiment which prompts a jap
anese to visit the imperial shrine at
Ise Is not unlike the reverence with
which an American bows his head at
the tomb of the father of his country.
The respect paid to the clan ancestor
or local shrine differs but in form to
that paid here to the statue of General
Grant.
Families in Japan erect a shelf or
altar in their houses on which arc
placed small tablets or c%enotaphs
with h names n ages of the depart
ed ones and at stated intervals they
pay heir respect before this altar. re-
solving not to degrade in any way the
good name Of their ancestor.
These tablets represent to them he
same sentiment which is expressed in
a tombstone erected at the grave Of our
parents.

on your ancestors grave? He cannot
eat it." The reply was. Your ances-
