Gods people among them. 1t would
not do now to compromise that claim
by calling for human help. 1t would
be to a certain extent disclaiming
their professions of Gods almighty
power befA'e a heather people. That
could not be thought Of. So. instead,
the power of prayer was invoked and
proved effective; not because tney
thot God would not help them any
way, but their prayers were tangible
EVIDENCE that they were putting their
trust in him.
In this regard some very COOL
Christians make n mistake. They act
rs tho they thot God would take care
of them without any uneasiness on
their part. when the fact is that God
encourages us to ask of him what we
want. Some will say, II God already
knows what we want and what is good
for us. and If he will grant only such
petitions as he deems best for us, what
is the use of praying at all? In the
first place, prayer Is an acknowledge
ment of our confidence in him and our
dependence upon him. 1t brings us
nearer to the throne Of grace and dis
pels from our minds many of the sor-
diG thots that everyday life mas
crowded in there. If we gained noun
ing else, the spiritual edification de-
rived from honest prayer to Almighty
God would be a benefit sufficient to
reward us for the effort We also get
strengthening of faith and a re-
newal of noble impulses from cur con-
fiding in the Heavenly Father No
petitioner really wants the Lord to
grant him n request In the granting OF
which the prayer would be damaged
in soul or body. In view of the Lord 5
infinite wisdom why then should we
be impatient II a greater intelligence
than ours decides what prayers shall
be answered and how? In this atti-
tude of confidence and reverence the
departing Jews petitioned the Lord 20
guide them safely to their destina-
tion.
Besides the efficacy and desirebility
OF prayer, the thing that impresses us
most about this lesson is the strict
regard of Ezra for consistency. ne
risked the o',.>m of being judged fool
hardy for the sake of living up to his
professions. There are good men to-
day who will do the same thing. Men
have even suffered death and torture
for the sake of keeping unsullied the

latter is lamentable lack of faith. Ezra
chose the better way. Instead OF con-
Tossing to lack of faith in Jehovah.
he besought him in prayer to remem-
bcr his promises to his people and see
them safely thru. There are times
and conditions when we should do our
utmost and depend on the Lord for
results. Paul may plant and ApoIlos
water, but God eiveth the increase"
There are other times and conditions
when the best thing we can do is to
pray and trust the Lord for the whole
thing. If we would live consistent
with our professions and glorify God
before men. there would be very few
discouraged Christians. there would
be an end CT the blues" and tnere
would be much greater respect
from the ungodly for our professed re-
ligion ard the God we worship. We
believe, or We say we do, that the
hand of our God is upon all them that
seek him.. for good" Why then
shNlld we not live consistently with
such belief?

faith which they professed to believe
and live by 1t is not decrying the
value OF caution and discretion in con-
Quoting our affairs to say that the
faith that will not stand such a test
as this is no faith at all. It is all very
well to watch as well as pray. We
would not be faithful to our divine
trust IL We did not labor as we'll as
pray for the things that make for
Righteousness. 1t would be folly for
us to pray. as told in the negro story,
that hot stove might not burn us,
and then boldly defy the laws of ma
ture by taking hold of the stove. But
where the Lords work is concerned,
and where we have done everytnIns
we can in honor or to forward tho
work and the limit OF human en-
deavor is in sight, 1t behooves US to
trfit unrescrvedly in the Lord.
People are apt to go to extremes on
this question. 1t is neither pious to
be foolhardy or improvidept trusting
to the Lord to do all things without
turning our hands to the work; nor is
Il pious to pray for divine assistance
and then mistrust that assistance -
far as to surround ourselves with
every attainable human precauron

TYPISTS MAKE BAD ERRORS
slips Are Very Amusing In Some In
stances, and Hard to Explain
In Many Others.

II some lady typists can make a
mistake they will. and some of their
efforts are very amusing, a humorist
relates. One typist produced the re-
mark, in regard to rather conceited
man, that "his one weakness was on
ion sauce" the real word being "om-
niscience." Another, In an obituary OF
a great theologian, spoke of his belief
in the immortality of the SOUL" just
the omission of the st" from "immor-
tally" made all the difference.
Some few years ago a speaker at
meeting waxed very sympathetic over
the death of the wife Of a manager OF
the company at some fever-stricken
place in West Africa, and the report
ers who were afterwards getting out
this speech together to save time were
in a ocular mood. At the end OF
the pathetic grafton the one who was
debating said, for a joke, and to
amuse the others, Loud Laughter
and the foolish girl, who was as much
machine as the typewriter at which
she sat, actually put the words In
Moreover, they appeared in print In

tor afterwards, although any explana
ton of the "slip" was impossible.

OrioIn Of Life on Planets.

The many speculations that have
been published concerning the origin
Of life on the earth and on any other
bodies in the universe where 1t may
possibly exist usually assume that, In
some way or other, fife germs" are
transported across the CULTS of space
from one planet to another. Thus 1t
has been suggested that life may have
been brought to the earth In meteors.
One of the most recent suggestions is
that minute 'life germs" may escape
from the atmosphere Of planet In
which life exists, just as molecules OF
the atmospheric gases are believed to
escape from our terrestrial atmosphere,
and may be driven by light-pressure to
some world where physical conditions
have become suitable to support life.
While there is nothing essentially abb
surd in these hypothesis, it is not
clear why their authors should take 1t
for granted that life cannot originate
de novo on cooling planet.-Scientific

"OLD PARIS" AGE BELIEVED
Said to Have Lived to Be 1852 Years
Old-Lived Under Reigns Of
Ten Princes.

"Old Parr" was an Englishman
whose proper name was Thomas Parr
and who broke the modern record by
living to the ripe old age Of one hun
dred and tifty-two years, an exchange
says. The British cyclOpedia gives
this account of him:
''Thomas Parr Q4S3-1635), English
centenarian, known as old Parr,' is re-
puted to have been born in 1883 at
Wilmington, Shropshire, the son of a
farmer. In 1900 he Is said to have left
his home and entered domestic serv-
ice and In 1913 to have returned to
Wilmington to occupy the small hold
ing he then inherited on the death of
his father. In 1863, at the age of eigh-
ty, he married his first wife, by whom
he had a son and a daughter, both Of
whom died in infancy. AT the age of
wife having died, he married again.
His vigor seems to have been unim-
paired, and when one hundred and
thirty years old he is said to have
thrashed corn. In 1885 his fame
reached the ears of Thomas Howard,
earl of Arundel, who resolved to ex-
hibit him at court, and had him con-
veyed to London in a specially con-
structed litter. Here he was presented
to King Charles /, but the change of
air and diet soon affected him and the
old man died at Lord Arunders house
in London on the 14th of November,
1885. He was buried in the south
transept of Westminster abbey, where
the inscription over his grave reads:
"Tho. Parr, of We county of Salopp.
Born In ammo 1883. He lived in ye
reigns of ten princes, viz: King Ed
ward 4, King Edward 5, King Richard
8, King Henry Z, King Henry 8, King
Edward 6, Queen Mary, Queen Eliza
beth, King James. and King Charles,
aged 152 years, and was buried here
November 5, 1885,"
That the son of a small farmer who
had started in life as hired man (the
British cyclopedia says he left home
and entered domestic service), should
have been buried in Westminster abb
hey, shows that the story of his great
age was believed.

"Well," said Jimmie, II was down to

stood and how manly they were. The
boys seemed proud to wear the uni

say that the training and discipline
the boys had had was exactly what
every boy in the country ought to
have, and that now these boys could
get better job at higher pay than
they could have had before. Do you
think that's so, Uncle Dan?"
Uncle Dan replied: II have a
friend who employs hundreds of young
men. He always gives boys having
had military training the preference;
he says it pays to do so. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without
training. He said from his experience
he believed that six or eight months
OF intensive military training would

that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men Of this nation so
much good in so short time as a few
months Of intensive military training.
It fits q man to fight his own life bat

"Nearly every civilized country gives
its boys military training. 1t Is COM

1t is the duty of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and as war is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops is nearly three times
as great as 1t is with well-trained men

protect themselves. BY this plan a
