ORLEANS METHODIST CIR
CUT
r. ". Birdsall. Pastor

These are certainly unpleasant Sun
days and the weather is interfering
somewhat with our centenary plans,
but we are hoping that next Sunday
we will be able to put on the service
especially for the young people.
The pastor put on the centenary
program in the Fenwick, Sheridan ard
Orleans Sunday schools during the
past week and now has Vickeryville,
Dildine and Easton yet to visit. The
enthusiasm runs high in most every
place and the Orleans Sunday school
has shown it's willingness to boost
by putting on a missionary program
every Sunday.
We had a card few days ago
from Pvte. Vernon Conner, now in
France, formerly of Easton. We
correspondent with him while he was
in camp in Virginia and he remem-
bered us when he crossed the great
deep.
This is the week for the big CEN
tenary meeting in Grand Rapids and
we expect great time of inspiration.
Wish we could transfer the whole
church to the big meeting for the two
days.
Watch the classes Of the Orleans
Sunday school get busy to beat each
other in raising their funds ON the
first Sunday of each month for mis-
sions. Ice cream and cake will be
free, remember.
Orleans Ladies' Aid society will
served dinner cn election day in the
church basement.
There is a great deal of interest
manifested in the study of Christian
democracy for America in the Ep-
worth League.
Dexter Aid society meets Thursday
at the home of Mrs. Hiram Brown to
work on some quilts. The crowds
are so great at the regular meetings
that there is no room for quilt frames.
Let the good work go on.

THE POWER OF PRAYER
Written Especially for the Banner
News by Robert HAZEL.

A direct answer to prayer from
God does not imply any change in
Him nor in His ordinances, but SIM
ply that in prayer a certain instru-
mentality is used, upon the exercise
of which certain results will follow,
which would not ensue without the
use of this instrumentality. 1t is
an ordinance of God that the har-
vest shall depend upon the sowing
Of seed. If that instrumentality is
not employed no result follows. But
still, the possibilities all exist wheth-
err the means are used or not, and
should it have so happened that man
had sowed the seed but once, contrary
to all human experience, past and flu
ture, harvest would have sprung up.
But would this unusual fact have vio-
lated any law of nature? Certainly
not. The strange result would have
indicated a simply compliance with
established terms, which compliance
had not been previously rendered. So
is it, as | conceive, with prayer. It
is spiritual fundamentally upon
the employment of which certain re-
suits are contingent. And That
God should grant peculiar and direct
blessings upon the touching of that
one spring, which He will give in no
other way, is no more miraculous than
that He should give the harvest when
the seed is sown. To say that He
grants answers to prayer as well as
to labor is only saying that man
works with God and God with man
more ways than one. How He an
swers prayer is a mystery, but it is
no more a mystery than the process
which converts the kernel into the
full corn in the ear-than the con-
nection between thought and action
tan the existence of God and the
methods of His communication with
the human soul.

WAGE DEMAND OF
COAL MINERS rs
BEFORE MEETING

Buffalo, y. Y. Oct. The first
demand of the 100000 miners of the
central bituminous field, calling
for an increase of so per cent in
wages. was before the joint confer
ence of miners and operators to-
day. 1t was expected that this and
other issues would be debated for
several days and that they would
later be considered by committees
before coming to the full confer
ence for a test vote which will do
termine whether the miners will
carry out their threat to strike on
Nov. /.
The principal arguments ad-
vanced by the miners for increased
wages were the high cost of living
and the advanced cost OF all ma
terials which go into the equipment
of the workmen Many OF these
things which come out OF the min
ers wages, such as fuses. have
more than doubled in cost, it was
claimed.
