The Great Contrast
"Once it was the blessing,
Now it is the Lord:
Once it was the feeling,
Now it is His Word: b
Once His gifts I wanted,
Now Himself alone; n
Once I sought for healing.
Now the Healer own.

'Once 'twas painful trying, d
Now 'tis nprfpct trust:
Now His will alone.

A Warning I,
A man who would not take his
home paper sent his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by a
neighbor. In his haste the boy
ran over a hive of bees and in ten
minutes he looked like a warty
squash. His cries reached his
father, who ran to his assistance,
failing to note a barb wire fence,
- which he ran into breaking it
down, cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy, and ruining a
$5 pair of pants. The cow took
advantage of the gap in the fence
and cot into th? mm Hpfirinu
the racket, bis wife ran out, up
setting n 4 gallon churn of rich
cieam into a basket of kittens
^ and drowned them. In her haste
she lost a $17 set of teeth. The
baby, left alone, crawled through
the cream into the parlor and
ruined a brand new $20 carpet
During the excitement the oldest
daughter run away with the hired
man, the dog broke up eleven
settings of eggs and the calves
chewed the tails of four night
fchirts. Cheaper by far to have

Done with its tears and toil.
Tired of all earth's playthings,

Ready to bid his friends farewell,
Wondering why they weep.

A Praying Church
A prosperous church is a
church which prays. It is written,
"My house shall be called a
house of prayer." We must nev- _
er lose faith in prayer. We must
never abandon prayer. We must
% -t.
( never lose iue spun ui piayci.
( A church can get on for a con(
siderable time withoul singing
I and can go on indefinitely with
indifferent singing. A church
may do well with poor preaching,
and even without preaching
of any kind. But a church without
prayer is no church at all.
We might as well expect a man
to live without breathing as to
expect a church to live without
praying. Pray for the minister.
Pray for the sick and afflicted.
Pray for the children, fray ror
j the lost. Pray for the communr
ity. Pray for one another. Pray
j ye the Lord of the harvest that
j He may send forth laborers into
His harvest. Pray without ceas
ing. Pray everywhere Let the
j church be characterized by prayer,
filled with the atmosphere of
, prayer, and crowded with the
^ trophies of prayer.
