THE PRAYER HEARD AROUND
THE WORLD.

| With 'the prayer around rht
world the New Year was usheraf
in. In a thousand tongues it wa:
spoken at Watch-Night services ir
near and distant places; in the grea
cities of the western word no less
than il distant villages ON eastern
hills, 1t was heard By the kneeling
women in a New York pew, by the
barefoot Igorot headhunter, by Cli-
nese converts with bowed heads, by
Hindu women listening reverent!?
with their arms folded crosswise on
their breasts, by Persian, Japanese,
Syrian, Russ, indeed, by all the peo-
pie of the world.
From New York, it's starting point,
the prayer has been sent around the
world by the 1nter-church World
Movement of North America, move
ment to bring about Protestant CO.
operation. By telegraph it has been
sent to the great denominations OF
this country; by cable it has been
sent to England and the East. Thus
it has been dispatched to every MIS-
sion center everywhere, and from
every mission center it has gone On
again in the language of the coun-
try to every Protestant mission sta
tion near and far.
This prayer is the first ever to IL
sent around the world, the first ever
to be translated into thousand Ian.
guages and spaken simultaneously
in countless places. With one veics,
though in many tongues, it calls for
'sthe elevation of justice and of
brotherhood" and appeals for the
fastening Of that Kingdom where
justice. mercy and love shall rule
the hearts and hands of men,"
To Mexico City and Montevideo
the prayer was eabled For South and
Central America; to Shanghai also,
and from there it was relayed to
Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia and
Oeeanica, to Lahore, India, for dis
:ribution through India and the sur
rounding countries; tc Recht, Per-
sia; and to Beirut, Syria, for the
Levant. To Cairo for the northern
stretches of Africa; to Bo1obo for the
darkest places of the Congo; to Dul-
ban for South Africa for the Zulu
Ind the Bore. To Uppasala, Sweden,
ind Zurich, Switzerland, for all the
countries of Europe. From each of
hese mission eenters it was sent ont
20 the out-stations everywhere, and

BLACKWELL NEWS,

The long dry spell seemed to ha7
been broken with goodly numbe
of our citizens, tho the downpou
was not so copious as OF yore. l
has been said of old that when a com
munity failed to pay the preache
that it was generally dry.
We have another thought, name
ly: that wet stuff and preachers ar,
very much like the H. G. of L., aut
sometimes the quality is not un tt
the standard.
All patrons and children of tht
Folsom Graded School regret thai
Prof. Leo Smiley has resigned as
principal. His administration has
been the most satisfactory so far ol
any teacher yet employed here. M
Smiley goes to Arkansas to accept a
more lucrative position. Teachers
are one of the most useful set of peo-
pie in the land. We hope that they
may be sufficiently compensated soon
Mr.. w. H. Stafford, of Mariana,
Fla, was visiting relatives here dur
ing the yuletide. Mr.. Stafford for
some time has been connected with
the Daffin Mercantile Company, in
Florida.
Mr.. R. A. Fleming, of cabbage
fame, in these parts, has gone for a
business and pleasure trip to mis-
former home at Liberty, Miss,
Mr. R. i. Erwin, of Poyner, Texas,
after an absence of five years, is WIS.,
iting here.
Our worthy citizen. Mr.. Alex.
Blackwell, who has been feeble for
some weeks, is now regaining his
usual good health.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Timer are visit
ing their former home at Pine Grove,

Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Blackwell, of
Abita Springs, were home for Xmas.
Mr.. ]. E. Blackwell and daughter,

the missionaries received 1t in the
language of the people of their dis
tricts, and in every Protestant mis-
sion station, great or small, it was
spoken at special Watch Night SER
vices on New Years eve.
And when the merrymakers were
thronging through the Boulevard des
1taliens, Paris, or streaming along
the Strand, or pressing along thu,

trudging through the Bund in Shan

els, some of them made of marble |

Repeated Operations This
Kind Taxing Patience
of the People.
NO PLACE FOR
JUVENILE OFFENDERS
Stores Entered from Rear of
Premises Thru Window
and TransOm.

Schonberg's Pharmacy and Nc.
Cormack's Economy Store were rob,
bed Monday night. Entrance Was
gained through the rear of the prem
ises. In Mccormack store the
thieves got in through the transom.
The only thing. taken, as far as is
known, was a ham valued at $500.
Schonberg's Pharmacy was enter
ed through the window of back
storeroom. $500 in cash was taken
from the register. Other things
that may have been taken can not
be known without taking stock.
Schonberg's Pharmacy has been
entered several times, in each in
stance entrance being made in the
same way and things taken indicat-
ing that the robbery was committed
by boys. The thief of Monday night
was evidently familiar with the place,
as the light left burning all nigh
was turned off by some one familiar
with the switch location.
Mr.. Schonberg has had the win
dow protected by iron bars, so thesc
in future thieves will have to frs
saw through these before gaining en-
trance.
Some effort should be made to
catch the thieves and punish them
The great trouble seems to be that
if caught there is no place where
Juveniles can be taken care of and
10 law under which to punish them.
rhe penitentiary is not the place fo1
hem, as they would only come out
confirmed criminals. If there was
'ome refuge where they could DC
aught and weaned from life o.
rime there would be no hesitaney in
.rresting them. They could easily |
'e caught. But even as it is, some |
hing should be done.

A WATCH-NIGHT PRAYER.

Almighty God, Father of all
mankind, at the end OF a year
i in which malice has so often
y thwarted love, we join the pray
y ers of all Thy children around
# the world for peace, the eleva-
# tion of justice and of brother
* hood.
Thou Creator, possessor of all
things, who did make the earth
for the races of men and didst
set bounds for their habitation,
forgive us our greed as we re-
pent for our sin, and restore to
all hearts the recognition of the
tr-anscendent right of human life
to live.
Open our eyes, we beseech
Thee, to the dignity of labor,
the sacredness of human SER
vice, and the privileges of pro-
ductiOn, that nation may join
nation and man may join man
justly in honest work to repIen-
ish devastated earth.
Quicken the sympathy of
hearts made dull by reports and
sights of suffering, incompre-
hensible and needless.
Call us again that we may
bow before the eternal laws of
creation, putting aside malice,
envy, covetousness and brutali-
ty, to enter into the peace of
the sons of the Most High.
Hasten by Thy gracious provi-
dence and by the conseerated ef-
forts of Thy children the COM
ing of Thy worldwide kingdom,
where justice, mercy and love
shall rule the hearts and hands
of men.
Create in us, o Lord, clean
hearts, and renew right spirits
for the coming year,
This we ask In the spirit of
Jesus Christ, our only Hope.
