"MoJt prayers never reach God. True prayer Is a habit and not a place of last wort when everything clso seems to "fill," said the Hov. Charles J. Smith, pas tor of Holy Trinity Church, Now York, who delivered a Lenten sermon today In old St. John's Lutheran church, Race. itrcet above Sixth. "Prayer is posslblo only for God's friends, never for his en emies," he said. Mr. Smith said there Is a great dcat cf absurd thinking about the efflency of iSrayer. because its purpose was not un derstood. fTIhe wicked man has no right to pray ojdod," he suld. "for prayer Is talking Kith the Lord. The person whosp hands jre'dyed with sin cannot expect to bo on making terms with Him who hates sin frith bitter hatred. Man must get rid of tin before ho can hope to have any stand ing In tho High Court of Heaven. vH we hope to liavo answers to our steals to God wo havo to dwell close to his person. An unforgiving heart neel, never expect to have Us cry heard. Such a cry Is like a shout for title In mldoccan, with no shin nearer iihan 1000 miles. Why do we persist AUftaii yinK hiuuiiu uur Kruugea, our Ik-tea and our enmities and then won der why tho Lord seems deaf. God only hears thoso who come with clean Juno's and a pure heart. JTraycr Is a selfless exercise. It de- Bands a world outlook. It Is not con cerned with trlvolitics. The shriveled toul that thinks all It has to do 1b to y the word and draw upon heaven for personal good fortune Is uttorlv mis. gtaken. Our prayers ask too much for .ourselves nnd not onouch for tho mat fofithe world. Jesus never nrnved for laj'oof to cover Him. nor for soft beds jna good meals. Ho did pray many .times for" tho world, that It might knqw Him and through Him becomo elr of heaven."

The shad season at Yawp Shore. N". J., Is on! True, no shad have been caught, but that docs not prevent the optimistic cast ing of t'ne great nets each day, nor docs It signify that choice Maurice Tllver shad will fall to appear on Philadelphia din ner tables later In the season. The season's catch at Yawp Shore has thus for been limited to three bricks, one tree stump, ono whisky flask (empty), two beer bottles (also empty), ono rusty tin bucket, one umbrella frame, one rub ber boot and one battered patent bait can. These Hems represent the net re turns to three veteran fishermen, who have labored persistently since Friday of last week. They aro "Bud" Square wood, John Chanco and his son, Joseph Chance. Tho two Chances assert that they In tend casting tho nets every day from now on to the end of t'no season, even If they fall to catch a single, solitary, mis erable shad. They explain their deter mination by saying that they must live up to the family name. Vawp Shoro la an obscure point on tho map.' It took a. representative of the Evening Ikdoeu two hours among the veteran tars nnd fishermen of Philadel phia's river front to locate ono who had over heard of the place. This ono re marked that Yawp Shore was "somewhar ovcrn Sou' Jersey, but thar wa'n't no way o' gettln thar as anybody over heard on." For tho benefit fo thoso who may wish Jp Investigate the shad fishing Industry at Ytwp Shoro tho following Information Is given: Go to Camden, tako the Pennsylvania, electric railroad to Mlllvllle. Directly op posite the Mlllvillo station Is a livery stable with an automobile attachment. It is owned by John Mohr. John Is oblig ing. Ho has not only heard of Yawp Shore, but will take you almost there and probably back again for J1.G0 In "the" car. This Is a distance of 11 miles, round trip, not Including the bumps. After leaving tho main road from Mlll vllle tho Yawp Shore trail enters a minia ture forest and Anally disappears Into a swamp. Hero it 'will he found that Mr. Mohr's car Is moro than an automobile It Is also a launch which ploughs bravely through a sea having ft rcmark nbly rough bottom. Finally, even this means of locomotion Is Impossible and n walk through 100 yards of Maurice River and mud a la briars and saplings Is neces sary before tho goal Is reached. Yawp Shoro Is not a town. It Is a place. There are two houses, a shack and eight great tanks, once used for suiting herring. There Is also a vast expanse of swamp and river. John Chance and Joo will be found either 100 yards off shoro tending their nets, or a half mile down stream where they are building a new punt. If "Bud" Squarewood Is to ho seen a rowboat must be provided and his ship boarded. He never 'comes ashore 'neas he lias to.' When questioned yesterday "Bud" Squarewood waa of the opinion that the shad Ashing season had not really begun as yet "It's a leetle bit cold for 'em, I guess," he drawled as he pulled his battered hat down over his eyes. "Maybe It's gona be a bad year, too. Can't never tell. Can't never tell." John Chance Is more optimistic. "They're a bit slow," he said, "but when they come they'll come like a nor'eastcr In January all In ft bunch. I hope so, anyhow. I'm plum sick o' tearln my nets to pieces haulln' In Junk." When asked their opinion of Yawp SHAD CATCH AT YAWP SHORE FISHERIES Three bricks. One tree stump. One uhlsky flask (empty), Txco beer bottlci (also empty), , One rusty tin bucket, One umbrella frame. One rubber boot. One battered bait can. Shore na u place or residence the In habitants promptly began argdlng as to the proper pronunciation of the name. "Bud" Squarewood asserted that Yawp rhymes with "yap" nnd backed the point with forceful language. John Chance as serted that It should sound like "cork" and might even be spelled '3'orp" Shore. Tho latter proved his point by telling of the origin of the name. "There usta be an old yeller dog lived down here," ho explained. "Ho was b. weak he hndta lean against the shnnty to bark, and when lie did It wasn't n reg ular 'yap' Ilka n dog orter make. It was ft 'yorp,' vorp,' so people lust natar'lly called tho place Yawp Shore from hearln' that old hound, and It's pronounced 'Yorp' Shore, too, because that's tho way tho dog usta say IL" Those who visit Yawp Shore are advised to leave beforo dark.

It was agreed that the President had served no tice that so long as he was President nothing would be permitted to Interfere wllh the absolute ncutiallty of tho nation so far ns tho warring Kuiopcan Powers and the factions of Mexico nro concerned. The President In his speech said: "I lino the feeling, as t look upon jou, thai I h,ie mtj mny other church oonrcrences-that I ntn looking In the faces of men nnd women who arc not In terested In (he temporary things, but aro Interested In the permanent things; that give very little thought, I hopo nnd be lieve, to the things Hint separate Us and give a great deal of thought to the thing that unite us-thtiigs that aro good for the healing of this nation not onlv, hut for the healing of all the nations.

"1 value tho churches of this country as I would value everything else that makes for tho stability of our moral proc esses . There are a great many people iiot so many that they give mo nny par ticular concern, but nevertheless a great many people who, In tho languago of tho day, aro trying hard to 'rock tho boat.'
