Doctor Carpy.

before the dark, silent ranch house.

Hardy Golfers Take
Final Shot at Links
Before Snow Clamps

Mild early-winter weather is al

honor of being the last to play

snowstorms confine putting 10 the

So far as we can learn, it's nov a
four-way tie. On Armistice Day, Bob
Gresham, John Debing, Percy Ne
vile and Doc Gustafson invaded
the local pasture for a parting
tangle with Mr.. Par. And they re-
port some good scores, too. Doe
couldn't be persuaded to start the
game but as the three strolled down
the sixth fairway, Doc" hove in
sight and finished the game with
them-then played another round.
Other club-wielders will probably
be out before winter really clamps
down. Some local golfers are telling
(and a golfers word is never ques-
tioned-or is ito OF how they put
the Weather Man "one down by
playing a couple of rounds on New

ness of God. While Abraham was
earnest in his petition, he still re-
lied confidently upon the justice
Of Jehovah. He was sure that the
Judge OF all the earth would do
right. So our prayers. to be ef.
fcctiye, must have the flavor of q
kindred submission to the divine
will.
(3) Prayer Comes Earnestly
Unto God. When Abraham found
subject of prayer, he drew
near" to God he threw his
whole soul into his plea. There is
not, nor can be, any true prayer
without deep sincerity.
ca Prayer Bows in Humility
Before God. Though recipient Of
gracious promises, friend Of God
and father Of the faithful, Abra-
ham in the presence OF God felt
himself to be dust and ashes"
The spirit of humility is pleasing
to God; the becoming awe of a
reverent and contrite chart he
will not despise.
60 Prayer Intercedcs Feryent-
~ with God. Wicked as il was,
Sodom was yet an object Of
Abrahamic prayer. And Lot,
| though far away from duty and
the holy associations Of old, was
not forgotten by his uncle. Abra-
ham could pray for others as well
us for himself. We know not how
to pray unless we can pray for the
most hayward and the wickcdcst
of mankind.
co Prayer Preserves in Wait
ing Upon God. Not once, nor
twice, but six times with a devout
perseverance the patriarch sought
the safety of Sodom for the sake
of the righteous within it. II we
come before God in the proper
| spirit he will never grow weary
of our oft coming. Men fought
always TO pray. and not TO faint"
CD Prayer Receives the Right
Answer from God. Abraham ex-
hibited the elements Of true pray
or and so he was successful in his
plea. He got all he asked. the d.
vine assent following every plea.
Yet, it is well to observe, he did
not throw himself into the path Of
the divine purpose To thwart IL,
but only that IL might be overrul-
ed for the good Of himself and for
the righteous in Sodom. So let us
initiate Abraham and learn the
precious truth that "thc suppl
cation of Il righteous man availeth
much"
IGOLD IN THE GOLDEN TEXT
The effcctual fcrvent prayer Of
a righteous man availcth much.
James SIG.
The prayer of power is sincere,
unselfish, humble, penitcnt, be-
lieving, submissive. ii is offered
in the name of Christ. for the
glory of Christ, by believer in
Christ.
The power Of prayer is asserted
here and experienced by every
Christian. For prayer works; in
its working it avails-that is, it
achieves; and it avails much.
Lord, teach us to pray the prayer
of power!

THE size of your wedding break
Il fast does not determine the
number Of years you will stay
married. If II did, the Count and
Countess de Tristan surely would
remain married for eternity.
Roger Cretaux, executive chef
of the ST. Francis Hotel in San
Francisco, was in charge of their
wedding breakfast. He persists
in keeping his recipes a secret,
yet he will tell what he served
at that nationally discussed Cali
fornia wedding. Just a snack,
you understand, beginning with
1900 assorted fancy canapeS, plus
smoked salmon, filletS of ancho-
vieS, sardineS, domestic caviar and
foie graS to waken the nuptial
appetities.
Then They Began to Eat
Then came the food: salmon
mousse, lobster mousse, ham
mousse, hams in jelly decorated
with elaborate initials of the
bride and groom, salad of chicken,
truffles, celery knobs and arti-
chokeS, stuffed eggs a la St. Fran
els, small French pastries, fruit
sherbetS, small, fancy assorted
petitS pains and butter, and cof-
fee. That was buffet for the
standing guests to nibble at, but
the bridal party got chairs and
added hot conSomme, Seafood
Souffle, potatoes, asparagus tips,
bonnie NeSselrode and petit fours
in spun sugar baskets to their
achievements.
But such magnificence, though
pleasant enough for the guests,
isn't at all necessary TO assure the
bride and groom happy life. For
the small wedding in an apart
ment or tiny house, this menu Is
suggested for its economy, flavor
and ease of preparation: chicken
mousse with individual moldS of
jellied tomato aSpic, hot buttered
rolls, cheese and pimiento sand
witches. plain watercreSS sand
witches. pecan ice cream. brides
