greatest experiences in life and the
noblest ministry in lifccmfwypwyp
noblest ministry within our reach"
Prayer" he continued, ais more
than an occasional experience, unit
to be expressed at certain seasons,
it is privilege in the energies of
life. The only thing that prays is
human being. A book cannot pray;
machine cannot pray. 1t takes n
soul to make prayer.
Self Must Be in Prayer.
Thought may be a prayer: work
may be u prayer, the enjoyment of
Il sport. the giving of n cup of water
where it is needed, an act of sacrifice,
deed of heroism may be prayer,
but you must pour yourself into it;
you, must lose your identity in it.
Nothing that we regard or value is in
our prayers yet we wonder why they
do not turn the world upside down
and stir God on his throne.
God is not so easily excited. Climb
into your prayer and things will be-
gin to har~en.
Prayer is the highest function of
personality. Personality is Gods
greatest product. 1t is some thing for
a man to admire Gods work, but it
is more to communicate with him.
Prayer is the heart of religion. Relig-
ion," he concluded, "is not striving TO
Il creed, or conforming to n ritual or
going to a church, but it is holding
fellowship with the Eternal"

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calluses off with fingers
No pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freczone and is
a compound of ether discovered by n
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifie, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put n few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers
This drug freeZone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no
soreness or smarting when applying
1t or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have freezone have him order
it for you.

international News Service:
WASHINGTON. Jan. A new
attitude of the administration to-
ward Mexico is certain if Pres't Will
son follows the plan now being
urged upon him. The first steps in
this change of policy will be:
Withdrawal of the Pershing col
umn from Mexico, and distribution
of these troops along the border.
The dispatch Of Ambassador
Fletcher to his post in Mexico City.
Taking up through diplomatic
channels the settlement of vexing
problems in Mexican relations,
which the American Mexican joint
commission failed 10 settle.
Possible recognition OF Francisco
Villa as a belligerent.
Reservation TO the United States
of the right of its troops TO cross
the international boundary on hot
trails in pursuit Of Mexican border
raiders. with or without Carranza' s
consent"
There is little doubt here that the
Pershing column will be withdrawn.
The main objection at present is the
possibility of leaving unpT otected
from bandits American property
near the present position of the
troops.
Officials admit privately that plans
for the troop Withdrawals are now
being formulated.
