The sending of the bill to the Presi- dent was preceeded by a parliament- ary tangle in the House, some leaders asserting the Senate’s dropping of cotton futures tax amendments left no dispute; but Speaker Clark ruled | the House must withdraw the Smith- L.ever cotton futures tax amendment o be in accord, and this was done on notion of Chairman Underwood. MENDS POSSIBLE FLAW. ‘“This bill is of too vast importance or the House not to clear up any juestions of proceedure,’ said Speak- or Clark. ‘'The measure must be put in such shape that skilled lawyers cannot pick flaws in it.”? This position was endorsed by Rep- ‘esentative Payne, the Republican tariff leader. The House then agreed to the tar- iff bill conference report, at 1:22 clock, and Speaker Clark affixed his signature at 1:25 o’clock. It was sent o the Senate and Vice President Mar- ‘hall signed the till at 1:34 o’clock.

Lawyers’ Wills, That lawyers seem unable to make their own wills has again been illus- trated by the fact that the will of Lord Llandaff, the noted English judge, who died a month or two ago, has been found in a very incomplete condition. Probably the most extraor- dinary case of a lawyer’s will that led to many legal difficulties, was that of Lord St. Leonards, who died in 1875. He boasted that he would leave behind him an absolutely perfect last will and testament, and spent years in drafting it. To secure this precious document he had a box specially made, which never left his room except in his or his daughter’s custody. But when the box was opened after his death, in 1876, it was found to be empty, and the testator’s intentions had to be proved from the recollection of its con- tents by his daughter, who had acted as his amanuensis. Ancient Family of Bankers. Clay tablets found in the mound of Jumjuma speak of the great banking house of the Igibi or Jacobs family of Jews, which controlled the finances of Babylonia for centuries. The ancient plan of the city has been determined; its walls have been measured; its streets have been traced. Though large parts of the city still lie buried far beneath later ruins, enough of it has been uncovered so that we are no longer dependent upon the imagination of the artist for a picture of it. We have the city itself to tell us how it looked, how its people lived and trad- ed and worshiped, and how the great Nebuchadnezzar ruled. Thus the dead cities of the Bible are no longer de:d; the spade of the excavator is restoring them to us.—Christian Her- ald. Dance Reflects Its Period. The dancing masters who attended the annual convention of the Ameri- can National Association of Dancing at Asbury Park were divided in opin- ion as to the future of the popular dance novelties. “Dances,” one expert said, ‘have always reflected the age of their birth. The minuet was timely in its day, and it gave way to the more rapid quadrille.” The polka and waltz held out until the two-step made them appear old-fashioned, and it was only natural that a time like this, with cus- ideas which would have been impossible in the days of the | ce, should have w dance ‘quiet « d—if not th quiet vari roduced the will be y will stay.” If we | ALL CHILDREN IN SCHOOL OF PRAYER Topic—*“Getting the most from pray- er.” Psalms 34:1-22. A mystery, a reality—such is pray- er. The wise men write learned books, endeavoring to explain prayers processes and power on psychological grounds, but we turn from these un- satisfled. By a sense beyond explan- ation we know that prayer is not mere- ly some higher science, some subli- mated law, some psychological reac- tion. Prayer is best understood in simplest terms. We grasp its reality most clearly when our minds are most childlike. Prayer is just asking God for what we need, and expecting him to answer our prayers according to his greater wisdom. The Jesus prescrip- tion for prayer is sufficient: “Ask, and ye shall receive.” The warrant for human prayer is found in the character of God. They get most from prayer who put most into prayer, of time, interest, faith and knowledge. Affection understands what is mys- terious to science. Loving trust finds none of the difficulties in prayer which stagger the learned critics. To the de- DAY SALE] THE WOMENS STORE Monday, Oct. 13 to Saturday, Oct.

Because God is God, and cares for his children with a | love passing that of an earthly parent, he fulfills to them all of the offices of a father. “Blind unbelief {8 sure to err, And scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain. “Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face.” Ordinarily, they get the most from prayer who are most in prayer. The platform oF revaiitng prayer is labeled, “Thy will be done.” A sense of God's sovereignty, and of his right to decide what is best, and of the wis- dom of all of his decisions, must un- derlie all approach to the throne of grace. The Gethsemane garden cry, “Not my will, but thine; he done,” i8 fundamental to. the entire Christian idea of prayer. Stubborn self-will can command no favors from heaven. In the school of prayer the great life lessons are learned. There it is that a sense of relations and propor tions is acquired, so that life is not dis- torted, with the nonessentials first and the essentials last. It is a profound education for any soul to grasp the truth that God is on the throne of the universe. Then all lesser truths and facts fall into proper relationship. ‘A sense of humility and teachableness follows naturally. One is brought in- to spiritual fellowship with all the family of God's praying children as he kneels before the throne; prayer is a real school of brotherhood. The elu- sive peace which the world 8o vainly pursues becomes the possession of the one who enters often into the prayer closet. Strength, wisdom, content- ment, power, all await the pupil in the school of prayer. “There is a spot where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend, Through sundered far; by faith they meet Around the common mercy seat. “There, there on eagle wings we soar, And time and sense seem all no more, And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy seat.” Poise of soul {8 acquired school of prayer. in the Every growing life needs periods of detachment. “Come ye apart,” is the master's word to all his disciples. Freedom from dependence upon and entanglement with the world i8 won by him who goes apart to pray. In this experience of isolation and medi- tation he realizes himself, as well as God. George Herbert's injunction is wise: “By all means use some times to be alone; Salute thyself, see what thy soul doth wear. : Dare to look within thy chest, for it is thine own, And tumble up and down what thou findest there.” The Good Shepherd. “The Lord is thy keeper.”—Ps. cxxi., 5.
