Prayer-Answering God.

Third. There must be positive belief
in the willingness of God to respond
TO human appeals.
He that cometh to God must believe
that He is. and that He is a rewarder
of them that diligently seek Him
1t is not enough to believe that God
exists, but there must also be belief in
His susceptibility to mans appeals.
II we do not believe that God gives
ear to our appeals II is certain that
we wilk never truly pray. To doubt

After returning TO Oklahoma he was
appointed diocesan missionary to nou-
Catholics, where he labored for a num-
ber of years. The need of the Cath

funds caused the bishop of that dio-

he was accordingly engaged by the
Catholic Indian bureau.

Sense of Needs.
Fourth There must be a full con-
sciousness of our dependence upon God.
There can be no real prayer without
a sense of need and a firm belief in a
power to supply it. If we are not con-
scious of wanting anything. there is no
occasion for prayer. True prayer is
the cry of helplessness to the source of
power 1t is weakness leaning on
strength. 1t is unworthiness seeking
for purity.
The doctrine of dependence upon God
for help is accepted by all who believe
in God, but practical observance of
the doctrine is rare, and for that rea-
son true prayer is rare even among
those whose theology is correct. We are
wont to declare that our only depend
ence is upon God, yet we often forget
Him and place our dependence upon
the things of time and sense.
There can be no true prayer aside
from undoubting consciousness of our
dependence upon God.

God-Honoring Faith.

We may look for golden fruit from
the prayer life in things temporal and
spiritual.
All true prayer expects definite re-
suits. Have the God -honoring faith
that relies upon His word:
ASK and it shall be given you; seek
and we shall find; knock and it shall
be opened unto you

Fruit of Gods Favor.

A spiritual fruit obtained through
prayer is a sense of Gods favor. True
prayer brings one into communion and

SEATTLE, June S.-Harry E. Nol. an. of Forks. Wash. adyenturer aud soldier Of fortune and veteran of sey- erol months Of fighting on the side of Che Allies during the early part of the European war, has settled down to a peaceful mercantile business in Mat anuska, town about half way be- tween Ship Greek and the Maiansulo coal fields, on the route of tho gov. ernment railway in Alaska. Mir. Nol- an, with a partner, went to Alaska few weeks ago and both were lucky enough to secure homesteads near the town They opened 9 tent store and Mr. Nolan, after attending to the preliminary details, came out to get an additional stock of goods. He will sail for Ship Creek in few days with a heavy shipment Of goods suitable for Q frontier store. According to Mir. Nolan. very few years will see the district near Matanuska yielding bis crops of potatoes and other produce.
 There are about 250 homestead. CTS in the district now" he said. One of these, the pioneer. has been there three years, and he is averaging sey- en tons of potatoes to the acre. sAs the regular price for potatoes is S5 a hundred pounds. 1t doesn't take great many acres to be independent The soil is line volcano ash and the land is easily cleared by burning off the moss which covers it. We will have a complete general store at Mat anuska and expect to set our share of the prosperity that is bound to come to the ranchers of the section The location of the town is about half way to the coal flelds. and the railroad will probably be completed as far as Natanuska this year However we are. not dependent upon the railroad for our supplies, as we can freight them in by shallow draught boats to with in 9 mile of our store.-( Seattle Post Iutelligencer)
