In another column the reader may find the topics for consideration for the week of prayer. IK seoms like the proper thing to have a program for that important week so that tbe mind of praying church people and others may be concentrated, and it is published so far in advance that pravine people may know what to pray for each day.

They may hear prayers that have been prayed right along for a quarter of a century and with which the prayer meeting going peopl9 can almost repeat word for word as brother so and bo's prayer. By read ing tho program of subject for the week of prayer everyone may know what is tbe topic for pr.iyer for every meeting. . - People who are intelligent enough to take a newspaper and read it and follow its advice, scarce ly ever make mistakes, for a newspa per during the course of a year nas occasion to point oat mistakes and tricks of all kinds of people and the intelligent reader can learn of tbe traps that are set to catch the unsus pecting, and having learned of the tricks co be on his guard.
