earth Isnow employed for that pur
pose An bearing upon tho question
of realizing this end, It la only nccccs
sary to 'consider that tho evolution of
tho locomotive and steamship has been
slow; that It has taken many years
to bring tho trolley car to perfection,
and that tho nutomobllo Id at least a
quarter of a century old as a practical

havo progressed with their Inventions
and experiments, wo heed not expect
much greater advancement in a less
period of tlmo than has been tho caso

very many men wouldn't havo 15

brqatho or I die,
'says man; "let
h mo pray or I die,"
says tno unns
tlnn. Prayer is the natlvo "air of "thef
child of God.
What Is Prayer?
Prayer has been defined as "An of
fering up of our desires unto God for
things agreeable to his will, In tho
namo of ChriBt, with tho confession of
our Bins and thankful acknowledg
ment of his mercies." Yet prayer is
more than this; it Is a dialoguo, not a
monologue; it is a vision as well as
a voice; It Is a revelation as well as
r. supplication. Prayer is not a mero
venture nnd a voice of mine, but a
vision and a volco divine.
In the heart of every one prayer is a
senso of need, but a senso of need
is not prayer. Prayer is asking for a
felt need and asking God, not tho uni
verse, for it. Prayer 13 more than an
asking, It Is a receiving, a hearing, n
learning of God, converse and com
munion in which ho ha3 much to say
and wo havo much to hear and lenrn.
The day in which wo live Ib so full
of possibilities that an intelligent man
will not consider anything Impossible.
Years ago Morse was considered a
fool because ho asserted the possibili
ty of communication between Wash
ington and New York. Likewise Mar
coni was laughed at when ho first ad
vocated tho idea of wireless teleg
raphy. Tlmo and experience, how
ever, havo proven that these men
wero wlso and not foolish.
Prayer la mado possible to tho
Christian because of tho revelation
Christ has brought to tho world, of
tho Father. It is only when we un
derstand tho truo nature of God that
prayer becomes posslblo. This reve
lation ia brought to us only through
Christ's Interpretation of God. Tho
god of science and philosophy does
not furnish nny incentive to pray.
Bain, tho scientist, describes tho god
of science as n double-faced some
thing mind and force which He be
hind all natural phonomena.
God Is Called Father.
It Is a romarkablo thing to notice
In almost every Instance in tho Now
Testament that when God is referred
to In connection with prayer ho is
called Father. This In itself is an
encouragement to prayer, as well as
Indicating that prayor is a possibility.
It Ib expected that a child will ask its
father for things it would not ask a
stranger for. Tho fatherhood of God
Is not only a motive to prayer, but at
tho same time a thought which mnkes
prayer both desirnblo nnd posslblo.
Do I find It hard to do as somo peo
ple tell me namely, "to pray all
night" lot mo not bo discouraged,
but remember that "llko as a father"
God deals with his children. I do not
nsk of my own child that ho agonize
all night when presenting to mo a
request. But you may say, "I am not
suro that I obey properly." I reply,
"Llko as a fnther." Does nn earthly
pnront not grant his child any peti
tion until ho properly obeyB? "Like
as a father." But. you sny, "I do not
understuud God." Who does? Shall
a father not grant a child's request
until he Is understood by tho child?
Then tho child's request will never be
granted. "Llko as a father pitiotb his
children, bo the Lord pltleth them
that fenr him."
But tho Father to whom wo nro
to pray Is an almighty Father, ono
who is absolutely sovereign nnd om
nipotent There aro no difficulties
with God, and wo must nhvays ro
momber that "Moro things aro
wrought by prayer than this world
ilroams of." Whatever may bo our
opinion of tho unchangeableness of
God's laws, wo must never forgot
thnt every promiso mado to tho pray
erful soul shall bo fulfilled by a
sovereign God, even though ten thou
sand of whnt wo call unchangeable
laws need to bo (so called) broken.
Is It not truo that wo ourselves
brenk laws to supply tho needs of our
own children? If my little child Is

In sturdy health and frco from the

"Wo havo not had a doctor in tho

foro wo began, however, wo had 'tho
doctor habit,' and scarcely a week went
by without a call on our physician.
"When our youngest boy arrived, G
years ago, I was very much run down
nnd nervous, suffering from indiges

that I could scarcely control myself.
