THE POWER OF PRAYER.

Peter, the apostle, was in prison. And the rest
of the apostolic company held prayer meeting
to ask God for his deliverance.
Suddenly there came rap at the door. And
maid, listening, recognized Peters voice, he
he was becoming impatient and evidently had
begun to call.
Without opening the door abe ran joyfully
into the room, declaring that Peter was at the
door.
"You are mad" the company said you saw
his ghost-the soldiers have already killed him.. .
But Peter continued knocking and soon
brought the people to the door.
And the scripture story tells us that "they
were astonished." They evidently never expect
ed that their prayer would be answered.
One of the fundamental principles of prayer
is faith. And the promise of answered prayer is
to those who believe
'fWhat things soever we desire, when We pray,
believe that We receive them, and We shall have
Them is the promise.
Literally, it means-"believe that We have re-
Iceived them, and We shall have them"
Perhaps this seems too easy. But you'll find
bin connection with nearly every great prayer
promise condition which must be observed.
For example, Immediately following the Won
derful promise just quoted in this command
"And when We stand praying forgive, if We
have ought against any; that your Father also
which is in heaven may forgive you your tres
passes"

sixteen years old gainfully employed" says Miss
Lathrop, less than 100000 are in occupations
controlled by the child labor law. Three-fourths
of the children of the country are employed in
agricultural work. Their only legal protection
is the school attendance laws, many of which are
inadequate and poorly enforced. State and fed
eral reports rural schools filled with de-
scriptions of short terms, poor school houses and
underpaid teachers. In England the root of ru-
raj child labor has been cut by the new educa-
ton act, which provides that all children up to
fourteen years old shall go to school for the full
term. The United States could secure the same
result by invoking the method of joint state and
federal contributions now employed to promote
vocational education. To make it possible for
children to remain at school, scholarships should
be established to pay at least part of the wages
the children might be earning"

ACHIEVING THE IMPOSSIBLE.

''In days of DID, when knights were bold and
barons earned their sway the most daring
flight of fancy was not transatlantic, and the
mind of man had never conceived the wonders
which have become realities.
When Commander A. G. Read reached the
coast of portugal thus achieving the coveted
honor of making the first transatlantic flight,
he wrote his name on the pages of science well
as of history, and achieved what but few years
ago would have been declared not only impos-
sible, but which would have been looked upon
a chimerical dream, worse than any that Don
Quixote ever INDUCED in.
Who has not read the story of Darius Green
and his flying machine? Who has not laughed
at this phantasy, and who that has laughed has
not walked to wonder at the truth that has slowly
taken form, in spite of ridicule and doubt?
In the successful flight of Commander Read
across the Atlantic Pensacola takes personal
pride, because here he is well known, as were the
commanders of all the planes who entered upon
the flight.
The United States naval seaplanes NC-1, NC-2
and NC-4 started from Rockaway Point, New
York, on May on the preliminary leg of their
flight across the Atlantic The NC-1 and NC-3
made a continuous flight to Halifax, reaching
there in safety The NC-4, however, encountered
engine trouble and was forced to alight in the
sea off Chatham, Mass. 1t was lowed into the
harbor and repairs rushed there and the
machine put in shape to continue its voyage.
On May Ia the NC-4 left Chatham and arrived
at Halifax in safety. The next day it continued
its flight to Trepassey, N F.. where it joined the
NC-1 and NC-3 which reached Trepassey on May
10. The three seaplanes left Trepassey on May
10 on their way to the Azores and the NC-4 ar
rived at Hortia, IN the Azores, the next day, hav
ing been in the air thirteen hours. The NC-1
lost her way IN a fog and her crew was picked
up by Greek steamer and taken to the Azores,
the seaplane being lost The NC-3, after losing
her bearings, aighted the sea, from which
1t was unable to rise. After being missing for
flfty-two hours, the NC-3 entered the harbor of
Ponta Delgada, Azores, under her own power
She was so badly battered by the seas she en-
countered, however, that she was retired from
the contest. leaving the NC-4 the sole survivor
| of the trip.

EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLE

Some more or less large communities in this
country are permitting thrift to cut into the bone
and sinew of our vital life's affairs.
Personal thrift practiced to penury is bad for
everybody. Public thrift practiced on limiting
the facilities of education retards civilization. The
dollar saved for the pubic treasury at the expense
of the culture of the people is more than dollar
wasced-it is a destructive dollar
Economy in education is the pail of progress
Since the large numbers of communities
have given attention to these facts great many
more have examined the question of educational
needs and have used the means at their COM
mand to reduce iliteracy by opening their schools
TO night classes. This is genuine economy. School
buildings which can be used for purposes o.
education only in daylight practically limit at
tendance to children. The reports of draft boards
everywhere effectively show the :folly of such a
policy.
Millions c. men and women iIr this country
need education not necessarily in reading, writ
ing and arithmetic, though these are essentials,
but training in their duties and obligations Of
citizenship, and instruction in American history
and the meaning of our constitution.
The enormous demand for the textbook on
citizenship for the teaching of candidates for
citizenship, issued by authority of congress by
the bureau Of naturalization, proves the intense
desire of the people to learn who we are and why
we are
There are nearly 1920 communities embrac-
ing thousands of schools using this textbook to
teach the foreign-born, and when the graduates
of these classes appear before the judicial bar to
receive their final papers their knowledge of
America astounds their examiners.
Many of them can tell all about Pocahontas
and the early settlers recite offhand the signers
of the Declaration, name the presidents from
Washington down to Wilson, express a clear I'M
derstanding of the constitution, and give fairly
correct account of our national growth-and all
in good English.
The development of this SYSTEM of education
is practical economy. 1t puts to beneficial use
school buildings during time when otherwise
they would be idle and the costs incident to keep
ing them in operation during these few hours
are so slight, compared with the benefits to the
people, they are not worth counting.
Still there are in some cities and towns citi-
Gems who apparently believe they have fulfilled
all educational needs when they make provision
for teaching their children. This is mistake
which is well proved by the facts set down.
Education ought not to be restricted to the
children So long as our men and women need
it the school buildings ought to be open to them,
and the facilities for learning ought to be provid-
ed at the time when it is possible for them to
attend.
The public school will fulfill its historic mis-
sion when it is made the center of the patriotism
Of every community
The highest patriotism is the education of the
people in the history of the nation.
Study the constitution.

Tallahassee. May 30.-The outcons
of the Wilder Scruggs contest in the
house was a great victory for the
amendment so far as the house was
concerned. and maybe that was as
far as it was intended to go. 1t is
contended by some of the advocates
of the amendment as adopted that
no harm can possibly come of il, for
il the senate refuses to accept it
they will take the senate bill
The dozens of people who came to
the capital in feverish haste during
the early part of the week to rush
through the house the things they
were most interested in, were a sorely
aggrieved people, so they said. The
house consuming Wednesday on the
passage of two bills only, while they
had dozens in their pockets or on the
calendar, each of which was the most
important bill in the world. was so
exasperating to the visitors that there
would be an occasional explosion. But
these little incidents didn't disturb
the stolid nerve of the house.
From whichever point of view those
present looked at the controversy in
the house Wednesday, there was one
thing they were practically united
on, and that was the debating ability
of the young representative from Du-
val, Mr.. Waybright. Another young
man who won Iaurels for himself at
that debate was Mr.. Edge, of Lake.
Mr.. Epperson, of Levy, the chair
man of the committee on finance and
taxation in the house, was absent
from his seat a couple of days dur
ing the first of the week, on account
of a slight illness. He is on the job
again now, trying to pass measures

There is complaint among the visit
ors to the capital during the past
week that there is little doing in the
way of political representations, and
the same as to announcements for
the primaries now only a year ahead.
