Prayer and VIII Of God

Mead Mat. 26:S6-4s. Text: 26:42.
Again a second time he went away,
and prayed, saying thy will be
done.
THE whole subject of prayer clears
up somewhat when we recognize that
prayer is not an effort to bend Gods
will, to persuade God to do something
that He would rather not do, but that
it is the reverent opening of the heart
and mind to such incoming of the
feeling and thought of God as may be
appropriate to the situation in which
We find ourselves. There is need to
take account. too. of human frailty
and shortsightedness
MEDITATION: How much we
might be helped # we but knew the
rest of this prayer of Jesus! If we
had all His words would they not but
express in other ways this same deep
conservation and longing of His inner
life-"Try will be done? May our
hearts be brought into such happy
accord with our Father God that we
shall be able to say. Thy will be
done" in our lives also, and may we
have peace in following the leadings
of His spirit.
PERSONAL QUESTION: Can I
say. Thy will be donea?
PRAYER: 0. our Father, we pray
that thou wilt lift our souls into fell
lowship with Thee. May we labor
with Thee In the consciousness of
Thy approval may we find blessed rest
and peace, through Christ. Amen.

Why the Fuss7

To the Editor Of The Times
By the way the city council and
some Of our high salaried city officials
have interested themselves in the wei
fare Of the street car company one
would think the city had taken over
the car company. cannot understand
why there is all this fuss. The car
company has no franchise, pays moth
ing into our city treasury and is under
the Jurisdiction Of the public service
commission, whose members draw big
salaries for doing this work.
Is the company afraid the commits
sion will turn it down? It looks as
though the object is to pave the way
for the commissioners whose jobs are
in the balance.
If our officials would interest them
selves as much in the citys' welfare as
they are in the street car company's
perhaps our taxes would be lower in
stead Of climbing steadily.

PROOF OF

Scientist Says Lennur Shows
How Monkey Sprang From
Other Animals.

" EFT us return again to our sur
III vey of mammals and single out
~ for consideration a special
group which biologists have named
the primates.
For whatever our prejudices may
be, biologists unite in calling the
primates the nearest relatives to our
human race. The primates include
monkeys, apes, balloons, gorillas and
so on.
In the early days Of the Age Of
Mammals, there were the grazing
mammals and the insect eating mann
mails. We still have the insect-eating
mammals with us in such types as the
shrew and the mole.
Gradually two new branches evolved
from the insect-eating mammals. One
line became the flesh-eaters who hunt
on the ground-the manuals Of prey.
The other branch took to living in
trees and eating fruit. This branch be-
came the primates.
Halfway Development
Here again we find a halfway de-
velopment which helps us to under
stand what has taken place.
The animal who helps US under
stand the situation is the lemur. Lee
murs are found chiefly in Madagascar,
although they are also found in tho
tropical forests Of Africa and Asia
The lemur is the most ancient type
Of primate in existence. He most near
ly represents the ancestral primate
from which in the course Of the ages
the others have grown.
He is sometimes called the half ape
because of his apparent midway posi-
ton between the primates and the
other mammals.
The lemur has nails on all his digits
except the second digit OF the foot,
which bears a claw.
The other primates have developed
along two main tracks due to geo
logical conditions during the ages.
The one branch became isolated in
South America. Their descendants to-
day are known as the new world apes.
and include the marmosets, capuchins.
bowler monkeys, spider monkeys, and
so on.
Descendants Are Monkeys
The other branch developed in the
old world and its descendants are
known today as the old world apes
and monkeys.
These include the monkeys. balloons.
macaques, and the man-uke or an.
thropoid apes.
The monkeys and balloons are char
acterized by having 80 teeth as man
does, and by having non-prehensile
tails. That IS, they have lost the
power to grasp tree branches and the
like by means OF their tails.
The balloons have given up living
in trees and live on the ground in
stead However, they do not have an
erect posture as man does.
The macaque is a specie OF heavily
built monkey.
By far the most interesting, how
ever, are the man-like or anthropoid
apes.

Soldier Plea

To the Editor Of The Times
noticed an article written by the
wife of a Spanish-American War
veteran. In thinking along that line,
I am in sympathy with crippled, dis
abled soldiers who faced the real
hardships of any war.
Postal employees are clamoring for
more pay or top of a good salary
with very small hardships compared
with those the soldiers had to endure.
I can't understand what the law
makers at Washington mean by not
helping the soldier boys, especially
those who are crippled badly for life,
or who are not able to earn their own
living now and probably never will be.
Why don't the lawmakers give the
crippled, disabled soldiers the money
wanted by the postal employees? AS
to numbers, those who were in the
World War were from two to five
millions The postal people number
only from 100000 to not more than
100000
Postal employees have received
enough to 1--we we'll and put by S40-
oOO,0 for pensions for themselves
after while. How much did the sol
der have to lay by for future pen
sions?
Postal employees have their Job until
they are 65 years old. then they draw
from the pension fund. A soldier has
nothing of the kind to look forward
to for his old age.
Every soldier ought to write per
sonal letter to each Of the United
States Senators from his State as well
as to the Congressman from his dis
trict.

ing the Buddhist faith, have gone on
pilgrimages The pilgrim in oriental
countries is as common as the tourist
in Switzerland or California.
Fa-hsien lived in central China
about 600 A. d. He decided that the
Buddhist doctrine, in China, had de-
generated and was impure. He went
to India to obtain the sacred books of
the ritual. He walked all the way,
obtained the books, and returned to
China. His journey took fifteen years.
He not only exerted a great influence
over the Buddhist religion as the re-
suit of this trip, but he wrote very
interesting books of his travels.

Of Fa-hsien has just been published

Fa-hsien is not known in this coun-

he is an authority on various mat

About $500 years ago, Guatama
Buddha rode forth on his pilgrimage,
having given up his wife and one
day-old child to devote himself to the
doctrine Of non-attachment. His
teachings were developed by his fol-

Ever since his day, members of the
Buddhist faith have gone on pilgrim
