Inconsistent PRAYER.

The mistake Of the Christian world
is that they expect to have the beati-
tudes without fulfilling the conditions
attached to them. How often do we
Fray that we may have the kingdom
of heaven without thinking that we
must first be poor In spirit. How often
do we pray for mercy, without first
seeking to be merciful. How often do
we expect TO be filed because we hun
ger and thirst, when we have never
made sure that what we are hunger
ing and thirsting for is real righteous
ness.-Henry Drummond.

COAT STYLES FOR MIDWINTER;

This seeming paradox was uttered
by Mr.. Cornelius d. Fleming, a school

Mr.. Fleming said that observation Is
a most important factor, and that the
use of this faculty in affairs of compar-

important results.
He cited interesting examples Of the
failure of the average layman to OBJ

has not learned to be obseryant.

Uphold the Law.

Men of conscience, lawabiding,
gather where the brooks are gliding,
when they're feeling dry and thirsty,
when their innards call for juice !;
being merely mortal critters, they
may long for old time bltterS, such
as winners and diStillers were accus-
toned to produce. They may gnash
their moral tushes for the old an
heuser bushes. for the temples OF
Budweiser, where the corkscrews
used to twang; but they curb the
goddess longing, and we see them
crowding, thronging, to the margin
of the brooklet, i'll a law-respectlng
gang. There, like lambkins led to
slaughter, they kneel down and
drink the water that will rust their
costly gizzards and destroy their
diaphragms; that the law may be
unbroken all their inner works
they're soakin' i'll the pallid juice
that gurgles back of weirs and cot
ferdams. But the scoff1aws, wild
and frisky, fill themselves with boot
leg whisky, and they care not for
the statutes and they laugh to scorn
the law; and they Jeer the brave up
lifters who avoid illegal snifters,
they bring shame upon the nation,
for their work is coarse and raw.
Let US join the noble martyrs who
have torn their Sunday garters,
bending down to drink the brooklet,
side by side with cows and mules;
let us shun the bootleg quaffers, let
us Join the moral gaffers, let us seek
"a pure refreshment in the horse
ponds and the pools.
