speak to some OF you who pray set
prayers and say child OF mine what
do YOU want anyway you would
jump up and say Nothing. Lord, I
was Just saying my prayers. For
every prayer that is registered In
heaven there is three essentials
conservation, concentration and
faith. To have your prayers an
svered you must meet these con-
saitions. Failure in prayer life Is
mt the bottom of our difficulties.
You cant fight God in your every
day life ana get answers to your
prayers. 1t is the height of folly
to pray to God to get somebody else
right when you are wrong your
self. Jesus have mercy on me-
every prayer that will do good must
start there. There Is no need to
worry about what the results Will
be il people pray like that. Then
you can't pray as you ought to pray
without getting busy for God.
You must have faith. Old Eli
jah had faith. He sent his servant
for seven times to look for sigma
Of rain and il there had not ap-
peared that sign believe he would
have sent oaek the seventeen time
to see if It was there. Friends, By
tle eye OF faith can see that little
eieud-a cloud that Is to spread
and spread until it overshadows
this city with power. Then we are
going to have refreshing showers.
Pray till you get right yourself and
then pray for your loved ones.

1.-THE CROWDS Arc LARGE


MeFtIfS.
The second day OF the John q.
Brown evangelistie campaign gave
every indication OF an aroused in
terest in matters spiritual When
the hour rolled around last night
for praise service to begin there
were almost as many people IN the
tabernacle as there were Sunday
night. Only few seats on the
choir platform remained empty, and
4 greater portion Of the main audi
toriunl was filled. The song service
ii feature OF the big meeting.
Mr.. Guice is an able director and
the voices which compose the choir
included some exceptionally good
cEes.
According to the evangelist the
song service is a thermometer OF
the meeting, indicating the interest
the spiritual temperature OF the
audience Is reflected through song
Before the evening offering was
taken for Incidental expenses the
evangelist told q story Of a little
city in which there was little
school, taught BY a professor named
Little, whose salary was little and
ssho had q little wife and seven
little Littlas. When he was asked
BY d friend how he managed TO
get along on such a little salary
Professor Little said every Little
helps. SO II is with the incidental
collections, not large at the begin
ming. but every little helps.
Subject Il Prayer.
TIE evangelist took his subject
from the Old Testament narrative
picturing Elijah when he prayed
fer rain, as found Ii 1st Kings
ls.42. First the speaker drew a
picture Of the country and condi-
tons, telling how the people OF
Israel had sinned against God.
How Elijah had prayed that no rain
or dew should fall except rs he
should ask. For three years ana
six months no rain or dew came
vegetation persisted and the herds
rad died and people we're suffering

but received fairly good wages and saved thcm, SO last fall, after twelve years of baching In cabins, sleeping in bunk houses where ventilation was poor and taking chances at mess houses where everything was poor. drew what money had in the bank and said Co myself Here goes for tho old home and Luce.
 "I reached home late one even ing. giving my folks quite an agree able surprise. Next morning ] tog- gcd out in the best had, anoiuted my hair with goose grease, sQuirtcd a lot of stinkum on my red nccktie and struck out across the fields for Che home ot Luce. Just as | reached the door of that once, Co me, very interesting home a woman came up Che path from the barn carrying a milk pail in each hand. She woro a mans hat and a slouch top pair of gum boots
 "I looked at her face. lt was Luce.
 Say. Stroller. you have probably seen rare old pieces of bric-a-brac iu your day. but you never saw any that would compare with Luce She had lost her teeth. she was flatter than a bachelors bed, her hair, once golden. was a grizzly grey and her face was the color of an undone and soddeu pumpkin pie. Man, you should have seen Luce.
 "Did ! wute You may we'll think it. There stood the woman whose image had been in my heart for tweuty-one long years; she whose hand ] often dreamed | was holding only Co wake up with a firm grip on the bedpost.
 "Wc entered the house where l remained for only half am hour but what said during that time ! am not yet able Co recall managed Go break away somehow and that afternoon called at the railroad depot near my home and bribed Che agent Co bring me a fake telegram next day telling me to hasten back Co Seattle.
 "No. will not join the SQuaw- mems Union My romance, which cherished twcnty-one years. is a pauid corpse. but my self-respect suu lives. From now on there win be no more dreams for me about holding hands"
 And having finished his story. the speaker turned and walked away and as he did SO the Stroller sized him up and was forced Co the conclusion that Lucinda did not miss much and that she is probably just as well off on the old farm as she would have been had she put her clothes in Mir. Mans trunk and como back with him. He seemed to forget that he. too. had aged during the twonty-one years which had elapsed since he and Luce held hands and looked askausc into each others eyes.

Every steamer from the south is now bringing back men who left here last fall and who, at the time of leaving. said they never expected Co return. Meeting one of this class only a few days ago the Stroller ex- pressed surprise at seeing him back when Che fellow delivered himself as follows
 "I never had any notion ot not returning when left here four months ago but | did not wish the gang here Co get wise Co why I was going outside. fully expected, when ! Icft here. Co bring back wife with me something | was old enough Co have twenty years ago and that is why did not give out that ex- pcctcd Co return You see it was this way:
 Before coming north twelve years ago had been on Puget Sound nine years. making just tweuty-oue years since had seen Che old home back east which left in Che sap-rising period or young manhood and just after had reached my majority. During che nine years ! was in Wash mEtou before coming north and an of che twelve years ! was here before going out last fall. my mind was continually rcyertiug Co a girl had left behind when ! turned my back on gbudhood's happy home. We were reared ou adjoining farms and my first recollection Of Luce Luciu- da was her name were of che days when we made mud pies. Later. ] would escort her home from Mctho- dist rcuyals and together we would sic ou che porch sometimes in the Kitchen and hold hands for am hour or more
 "Whilc nothing was said about me returning for Luce. it was understood by both of us that after ] made a stake iu Washington ] would go back ou visit at least We'll that Washington stake proved a myth and when. after nine years, realized chat ! never would make enough there Co take a trip back Co che old home. l came Co Alaska.

WHY NOT REGULATE EVERYTHING?

Opposition of the Board of Governors of the Cmcm- natl Advertisers Club to the Randall advertising bill pending in Congress is timely and sensible. This measure if enacted into law is to withhold from the mails any pub cation or printed matter advertising intoxicating liquors for sale
 Enactment of this bill into law will establish pre- cedent which quickly and easily may lead to governmental censorship of all printed matter If it becomes unlawful to publish advertising relating the sale of intoxicating quors it will be but step prohibit the advertising of tobacco of underwear of stockings of any other com modty in which large portion of the public interested It would almost appear that law drastic in it's opera ton would be in contrayenon of the constitutional guar aneeS to the press Not because the bill in question re- laeS to advertising of alcohol but for the broader reason that it mpnges upon personal rights members of Con- gress should study the measure seriously before commit ting themselves to its support-( Cincinnati Enquirer)

ALASKA COAL LANDS

Alaska wants ample fuel and cheap fuel for it's in duStreS for its mineS and especially its winter mining and it wants cheap coal for smeitng.
 In 1915 Alaska produced and shipped out $300O0000 worth of copper ore The record for the current year will probably be approximately $4OOOOOOO There is demand for Alaska smeerS handle part of these values in ore The government coal mines being operated or under process of development will relieve an eergent situation supply the navy and tend lower scale of prices but the great bulk of Alaska coal measures remains practically undiSturbed
 It evident that this needed development to take place leasing conditions must be such that capital will be attracted If the government has made mistake in conservative view of what coal lease should provide it should remedy the difficulty without delay and free the great territory from restrictive laws and red tape at whatever points experience and necessity may determine -(Seatte Post-Inteligencer)

WORLD PEACE AN ISSUE

While unusual it was quite proper for the president to discuss his proposed alliance with foreign powers to enforce peace throughout the world.
 So radical move is not to be accomplished behmd closed doors. Full and free discussion of the question must be had both by the law makers and the people,
 The attitude of the warning powers on this question will be of importance for the fighting has continued so long now that martial spirit has been developed and there is question as to what the armies of Europe will do after this war Is over.
