If you are a strsnger to prsyer you are

Tou ara a stranger to the greatest
fprlvtlega that is offered to a hmiutn
being. Borne of the greatest blrsslii. Unit
people enjoy com from prayer. In earn1:
prayer you think as thu I.oi.l nlinii,
and lose yourself In Him.
Soma people say, "It's nn i" to pray.
I Tha Irftrd knows everything, anyway."
That's true. Ha does. Me knows every
thing and has known It since before the
world was. Wa don't know everybody
who la going to be eouvertcd at tha re
vival, but that doesn't relieve us of our
'duty. Wa don't know, ami we must du
tha work Ha command J us to do.
It makes me sick to hear men and
women put their inflnltenltnal reasons
against tha wisdom of God. Everything
God offers us Is for our good, and w
are fools If we don't realise It.
Tb Lord knows you need salvation
but Ha won't crowd It on you, The lord
knows you need crops, but He won't
end down angels and yoke them to the
plow to work, while you sit in the shade

singing about the promised land.
Others say, "But I don't get what I
pray for." Well, there's a cause for
It, old man. Instead of cunning around the
house.

We haven't had a genuine revival since
l1-. There have been revivals in differ
nit lll. s. hut we haven't had a
revival throughout the country since that
In 1W,7-H. That revival started In the
old John Street Methodist church. Oh

Does God's word abide In you, and you

ease, but looks at what produced It. In
Matthew I find it written, "Ask and It
hall be given." "fleek and ye shall find."
"Knock and It shall b opened unto you."
Mast Have Faith la prayer.
If your prayers ara not answered you
sir not right with God. It you hava no
faith, If your motive is wrong, then your
prayers will be In vain. Many times
whan people pray they ara selfish. They
ara not gripping tha world.
Many a wife prays for tha conversion of
bar husband alone, hoping that things
will be better for her at home. Pray for
your neighbor well as your own
family. ,
Teach us to pray" Implies that I want
to be taught. It's a great privilege to be
taught by Jesus. A friend of mine wa
preaching In Cedar Rapids, la., and had
to go to a hospital In
operation, and I was asked to go and
preach In hi place. Alexander wa lead
Aumrajia ana millions were con
verted. We have had little revivals local
revivals sine then, but not a religious
landslide.
I don't care whether you read your
prayer out of a book or whether you
Just say them, so long as you mean
them. A man can read his prayer and
go to heaven, or ha may Just say hla
prayers and go to hell. Wa'va got to
faxa condition. When I read I find
that all tha saintly men who hava done
things from Pentecost until today have
known how to pray.
Soma pray. "Thy will be dona," then
go out and do something to block God'
will and keep HI kingdom from coming.
Matthew says, "But whan thou pray
eat, enter into thy closet, and whan thou
hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father,
which la In secret, and thy Father which
seeth in eecret shall reward thee openly."

called a little girl out of tha audience
to sing. Bh didn't look over 4 or I year
of age, though aha might hava been a
little older. I thought. "What' tha use?
Her llttla vole can never be heard over
tha crowd." .
But Charles stood her up In a chair by
tha pulpit and ah threw back her head,
and out rolled soma of tha sweetest muslo

sat there and tha tears streamed down
tny oheaka.
That llttla gtrl was tha daughter of a
Northwestern engineer and her mother
took her to Chicago and to Fattl, who
waa singing In that city.

and listened. The little girl sang a cou
At the Chicago Young Man' Christian
association I used to haw to get minis
ter for tha noon meetings, and got to
know Dr. Armstrong. On day ha told
me of a call ha had road to collect for
mission work. When he rang at tha door
it was opened by a little girl. Ha asked
for her mother and aha asked, "Ara
you alokT" H said that he wasn't, and
ha asked, "Are you hurt?" Again ha
said no. Then she asked If he knew of
anyone alck or Injured. When ho said
no, h aald, "Then you can't see
mamma, for she pray from to 10
o'clock." Then, he said, ha knew why
that horn was so bright; knew why her
two son were In tha theological semi
nary and her gtrl wa a missionary. All
hell can't tear a hoy or girt away from
a mother Ilka that.
A friend told me of meeting In which,
when people war aaked to nam per
sona for whom they wished prayer
made, an old lady always jumped up
and asked prayer for "John." Bh was
aaked why aha always was so anxious
pla of hymns, and tha songs moved Pattl about him. and She aald that all of the
to tears. Bhe ran and hugged ana mesea
the little girl, and sat her down on the
divan and ssld to her:
"Now you sft here and I'll go over thera
and sing."
She took up her position where the
child had stood, and she lifted her mag
nificent voice and she sang "Home, Sweet
Home," and "Tha Last Rose or Bum
mer." Bha sang them for that little girl. AnJ
Pattl used to get fl.OuO for a song, too.
Hhe always knew how many songs she
waa to sing, for sue had a check before
ha went on the platform. It was a great
privilege to the little daughter of that
Northwestern ' engineer had. but It's a
greater privilege to learn from Jesu
Christ how to pray. "Lord, teach us to
pray."
When I was assistant secretary of the
Young Men' .Christian Association at
Chicago, Juhn O. Paton came home
from the . New . Hebrides and waa
lecturing and collecting money. He
was rstvlng money to buy a Sea-going
yacht, fi r l'3 work took him from Island
to island and he had to use a row boat,
and (omvitniv It was dangerous when the
leather was bad. ao be wanted the yacht.
We had hlin for a week and it waa my .
privilege to go to lunch with him. We
would go out to a restaurant at noon
and he would talk to us. Sometime
there would be as many as fifteen or
twenty preachers In the crowd, and now
and then soma of them were so interested
la what ha told us of tii work for Jesus
In those far-away Inlands that wa forget
to eat. I remember that be said on
day:
Own Mark ta Karly Prayer.
"All that I am I owe to my Christian
father and mother. Uy father waa one
of tha moat prayerful men I aver knew.
Often In tha daytime ha would slip Into
hut closet, and b would hang a handker
chief outside the door. When wa saw
the white cenUnel w knew that father
waa talking with God and wa would go
autotly away. It I largely because of tha
Ufa and Influence of that same saintly
fother that I am preaching to tha oan
r.ibtUs in tha South Sea."
"And a ha prayed tha fashion of his

wouiaa would apetul las fJUn ao dupo,

took John In her arm and kissed htm
aha had prayed every day that ha might
be saved, too. She said she waa aura
that God would save him some day. Bhe
wa rewarded when John Morrow, cir
cuit court Judge, came down tha aisle
and accepted Jesu Christ as his personal
Savior. Go home and pray for your
husband, or wive, or sons or daughters,
and w shall hava a great revival.
Bay, pray In secret, wives, that your
husbands wlU hit tha trail.
Say, pray In secret, husbands, that
your wive will hit the trail.
Why, do you know that If you both
pray In secret for on another, you are
both likely to meat her fao to face and
go to Jesu together!

The women of the "Billy" Sunday party
have leen organised into a gymnastic
clans by the ever-watchful "Ma" Sunday".
Tbia Is an entirely new health "stunt"
pulled off for the first time In Omaha.
"Ma" Is the most motherly soul Imagin
able. She Just ha to "mother" sonio
body. And with her two younger sons
going to school away off at Winona Iake,
Ind.. she looked around for somebody to
be a mother to. Hhs found the women of
the Sunday party.
"You've got to take cere of your
health," ah told them. "Your work M
mostly mental and of a sedentary char
acter. You don't hava time enough to ex
ercise. That won't do. We're going to
start a gymnastic class and It will meet
every evening between the close of thi
tabernacle service and bedtime."
And It was ao ordered.
The room of Miss Grace Saxa, Bible
teacher, waa selected for tha "gym" be
cause It Is tha biggest. "Ma" I the
"physical Instructor." Tha members ot
her class are these:
Miss Florence Miller, Miss Alice Oam-
lln, Mr William Asher and Miss Grace
Ssto.
"Ma" ha made a study of callathenlci
and has outlined, not without some a.f
ftculty, a splendid exercise which is
scientifically designed to fill the physical
need of tha hard-worked party of
women.
Dlfflcultf Yes. Because tha four
women In her class are easily classified
ss heavyweights and featherweights. Mrs.
Asher and Miss Saxe are of generous pro
portions, while Miss Miller and Mln
Gamlln r petite and look as though they
could run a marathon In record time.
The exact details of the difficulty
"Ma" had In securing acceptance of her
course of exercises are not given out, but
with masterly diplomacy she carried
through her program and now the claas
meet promptly every evening and goe
through tha "one, twov three, four''
business. After lt' over the five go 10
their respective rooms for a sound nlKht's

WHEN DIGESTION
IS A BURDEN
When digestion is impaired you can
nearly always look to a lazy liver and
constipated bowels as the real cause.
When you think of the suffering after each
meal from Heartburn, Bloating; Nausea,
Headache it is ho wonder you have no
interest in mealtime. Soon you lose
flesh and are in a rundown con
dition. You must help Nature
correct such ailments so that
the body can be properly
nourished. This sug-
