Schlaifer Learns Double Shift
After Seeing Celluloid Dempsey

"Where'd you get that stuff" his
manager, Johnny Greeley. asked.
"Why, Dempsey fights with both
hands like I do" replied the Kid.
And it is true that he had been
using the Dempsey shifts before he
saw the picture.

This Is the "worid Fellowship In
Prayer" week. It Is a time set apart
for Christian people to mediate and
risk God to help them to see and then
render the greatest servi,e possible
to the world, in order the. IL may
realize more fully its need Of Jesus
Christ. The Young Mems Christian
Association started the week by hav-
ing DR.. Hirschy, one Of our most ef-
ficient and best-liked faculty mem
bers, to lead the Sunday evening
meeting. His topic was prayer"
The way he took II up was very in
teresting as well as helpful. We re-
g,et very much that all Of the young
men Of the school, as we'll as the men
CT the town, did not hear him.
He spoke Of the great Importance
Of prayer, also how difficult II Is to
know just how to pray. The disciples
Of Christ found Il difficult, as their
spokesman said, "Lord, teach us how
to pray" We see that such a man
as Paul realized the need of more
thoro knowledge Of how It should be
done, when he said, I'VE know not
how to pray as we ought" These
two quotations show that prayer in
its fullest meaning was not easy sew
eral hundred years ago, nor is It
easy now. Yet, II is worth while.
People have different ways of pray
ing. There are some who seem to
think that prayer consists Of asking
for things. But God expects us to
do more than ask. II we are to re-
ceive, we must work to bring it
about. In order to have good health
necessitates the proper care taken Of
the body, hence prayer will not do
It alone. Others seem to think that
the saying of words is praying, but
it takes more than mere words. A
true prayer consists Of communicate
ing with God thru Christ. It can be
done best in secret, because we are
not so constituted to open our hearts
completely in public, altho public
prayer has its place and is worth
while. When we open up our heart
to an intimate friend, we want no
one else with US. The same is true
In communicating with God.
A life that is genuine and real
when in secret with God can be de.
pended upon. People will have con-
fidence and trust In such life. Such
an individual is a blessing to man.
kind.
A prayer should show that one
who is offering It is submissive to
the will Of God. Christ, as much as
he loved life, prayed in the Garden
Of Gethsemane that the cup Of death
might pass from Him, but then he
said, mot my will but thine be done"
These words should serve as a lesson
forSu They should help us to be
honest and sincere to our fellow men,
and especially with our Heavenly
Father.

Toronto Doctors Discover Extract to
ProIona Lives

Toronto. March 23.-Discovery Of an
active pancreatic extract. which 1t is
hoped will prolong the lives of persons
suffering from diabetes, was announced
to the medical profession yesterday from
the medical research laboratories of the
University of Toronto,
Two young doctors, F. G. Branting
and G. II. Best. directing the expert
ments. first prolonged the life of a dia-
bette dog fifty six days beyond previous
records. Then, by injecting under the
skin of seven human beings suffering
from the disease a highly potent extract
discovered through animal experimental :
tion. n distinct improvement was
brought about in the patients, the SCI
entists report.
The cxporimenters do not claim that
the new discovery will effect cure, but
they believe it will prolong life con-
siderably. They emphasized the harm
that would be caused by exnggeratiOn
through arousing false hopes in patients
before the extract could be mnnufac-
tured on large scale.
