1.-The prime object OF my meetings in

God, he said. ~ want to kindle in all
hearts genuine passion for the souls OF
the perishing. We have no time to fight
churches or creeds. All our energy
must be spent for Christ and His cause
in the world. / am in Elbert for GOO
and not for the building up of any one
denomination. l believe the christian,
whether he be a Baptist, Presbyterian,
l need not argue that point. God gives
US everything we use. No man brought
any thing into the world and surely he
can take nothing out. Everything we
have is a loan, gift from God. His
great plans govern this universe and we
are sent or called to do His will, not our
own. IL is our business as his employees
to do the work he gives us to do in the
place where Be has set us. When chris.
trians understand these truths they will
cease quarreling about denominations. "

readings and prayer meetings every af-

Denver, Col. July 16.-The season
SO far verifies the weather predictions
OF the Indians who occasionally visit
the Mesa Verde National Park, in
Southwestern Colorado, for trading
purposes. but who never stay an hour
longer than is necessary because OF
their dread of the little people" whom
they believe still inhabit in spirit
form, the prehistoric cliff dwellings
that have made the Mancos Valley
famous the world over. Last fall the
Mesa Verde prairie dogs deserted their
villages for new ones and the Indians
have been shaking their heads over it
all winter. Rain. much rain" they
say; rain all summer" So far they
seem to have predicted right.
And now they are again shaking
their heads. 'Cold. much cold" they
