In associations and. conventions, men
who loved prominence among the
brethren" are gone and not remem-
bered by us among whom they caused
discord!
All Of these things are matters of the.

our heads, show ourselves unfit to
serve as pastors or in any other ca
pacity as leaders among an all too
excitable people,. who viii love, hate.
help or hinder-largely on our advice?
There is power In prayer. We tell our
people about Daniel and the Hebrews
being delivered through prayer. Now,
as men, let us practice what we
preach, and at Chicago preach what
we should practice at home.
There Ii q story told of Mr.. d. L.
Moody, telling how he was led into
International service. The fire In Chi
cago had destroyed his church and
scattered his people. While waiting
for the finishing Of his new building
he went to Europe to hear the leading
preachers and to study their methods
Of work. On one Sunday morning he
was invited to spend the day with
one OF the largest churches. At the
forenoon service things seemed cold;
everything was draggy until the great
preacher regretted that he had an en-
gagement for evening service. How
ever, on returning to the evening serv-
ice he found the house crowded. The
services began about as the morning
services ended, but along about the
middle Of the sermon the atmosphere
completely changed. ....
At the close an appeal was made to
the unsaved, and to the utter surprise
Of the preacher large number arose
In response to the invitation. Mr.. Moo
dy was confused and concluded that
the people did not understand. him. So
he asked again, "AI of you who wish
to become Christians please retire to
the adjoining room" A number Of
those retiring became Christians, and a
great revival broke out, resulting in the
conversion Of hundreds Of happy souls.
Mr.. Moody sought the cause Of this
unusual awakening and traced 1t to the
room Of an invalid member Of the
church, Christian worker who for
years had prayed that Mr.. Moody might
preach in her church. D..
On that particular Sunday, having
heard after the morning service from
her sister that Mr.. Moody had spoken
that morning, this Christian interces.
sor, refusing to eat her midday meal,
gave herself to prayer during the entire
afternoon. It was the Anal tug In the
long pull Of years Of intercession. II
followed that this not only brought
great blessings to this community, but
placed Mr.. Moody into position Of In.
ternational leadership, made possible
his widening spheres Of influence and
blessing throughout the world.

at the bottom OF our conclusions. We
are told. for instance. that woman
suffrage In a good thing and we ought
to have a law allowing women TO vote.
Do we look into the matter? Do we
study the arguments for and against
woman's suffrage7 II IL the same
with the tariff. prohibition. the unions,
the Mexican situation. the European
war. In fact. everything we have any
thing to do with. How much more ra-

Judgment on a question until we have
had an opportunity to study II from
every angle. Then form an opinion
and stand or fall by that opinion. ur-
I'll we learn something OF which we
have been in ignorance that might
change our minds on the subject. Not
TO be open TO conviction Is pig-headed.
Narrowness Is the bane OF our whole
system OF civilization. Let your mind
