Isa. 2:2-3; Dan. 2:14- 7-"7. K?nV1:15: 19:6: 20:4)- Before The Kingdom can fully come, the King must come. We do well to pray for the coming of the King as well as SViODinS f e KinSdom (Rev. ---uj. it we really desire God's king- ? ?t I? w?e,we wiH first of a11 see 10 it that the kingdom is set up in our own hearts, and then we will go ear- nestly to work to set it up in the indw 0tuer-S- The third Petition indicates submission to the will of ?n f!LUK,22:42)' deiibt in perform ing the will of God (Jno. G:3S; Eph. b.b). sanctification in our own lives (1 Ihess. 4:3). and the desire that the will of God be the Jaw of all the earth. The fourth petition is to be taken first of all literally as applying to the necessities of the body, it is K to speak to God about these (Phil. 4:b). The measure of temporal things that we should desire is enough each day for that day. The petition is one of childlike trust thaf rioiiVht,. L?ret. lts food cach daJ' from the fathers own hand, Jesus lived as He prayed (cf. Matt. 6:31; 1 Tim. 6:S, 9; Lx. lb: 15-22). The fifth petition is not the prayer of the unsaved sinner for the forgiveness of the sins that are destroying him forever, but the pray er of the saved child of God for the forgiveness of the sins that are hin dering his communion with the Fath er. If we are to enjoy the forgiveness that brings unbroken fellowship with God, we must on our part forgive those who have injured us. Nothing more surely destroys communion than an unforgiving spirit (cf. Matt. 6:11, 15; Mark 11:25). The fact that we for give others is not the ground upon which God forgives us, but it is the condition of our enjoying that for giveness (Eph. 1:7; 1:32). The praver for pardon is put first of the prayers for spiritual blessings because there can be no blessing unless there is pardon. God does not tempt men (Jas. 1:13), but He does bring men into places where they are tempted (Job 1:12; 2:6; Mark 1:12). But He never suffers us to be tempted above that which we are able to bear (1 Cor. 10:13). But the man who is humble and has an adequate conception of his own weakness will constantly prav, "bring me not into temptation' The spirit of this prayer is the exact op posite of that presumptuous spirit so often seen where men rush into un necessary temptation to show how strong they are. The intelligent Chris tian always realizes that thoush thp spirit is willing the flesh is weak (Matt. 2G:41). The prayer closes with a suggestion of our peril from our great enemy, "the evil one (cf. Matt. 6:13, R. V.) H. The Power of Importunity, 5-13. The central thought of this parable is plain enough, namely, that if we do not get what we ask of God the first time we ask, to keep on praving until we do (cf. -Luke 18:1-S). The word translated "importunity," means literally, "shameletsness." God de lights in that persistent faith, that holy boldness, that will not be put to shame nor take no for an answer (cf. Matt. 15:21-23). In v. 9 there are three commands and three promises. Ob taining the promises is conditioned upon obeying the commands. Men do not obtain because they do not ask (cf. Jas. 4:2). They do not find because they do not seek. They do not have the door opened to them because they do not knock. By piling up words (ask, seek, knock). Jesus sets forth the need of earnestness and downright persistence in prayer. How few people pray things through. We are often on the verge of getting but stop short just too soon. Jesus does not say that everyone who asks gets everything that he asks, not even if he asks of God. Even an earthly father will give a son at least as good as he asks, how mlick more God. The fundamental truth that underlies prayer is that God is a father. Those who argue against God'3 answering prayer from the reign of law lose sight of the great truth that God is a father. Incidentally Jesus teaches the corruption of human nature. EXPERIMENT STATION WORK. (Canton Observer.) Mr. T. Lenoir Gwyn, of Springdale, was in town today and reports that the government staiion which is lo cated on his farm, is the scene of some interesting and proctical work. Mr. F. T. Peeden, who is the superin tendent of the station is required to spend his entire time right on the scene and he is making record of the result of feeding cattle on different kinds of forage, et. Mr. Peeden has received many inquiries as to the re sult of what he has done and the farmers of this country are especially interested in the work. People from all parts of the state have been in terested in the possibilities of the cattle raising industry since the loca tion of the experiment station and within a short while Western North Carolina stockraisers will be greatly benefited by the information that is gathered from the experiments now being made.

Darkness - and Light. Luke xi: 14-26, The Sunbeam SPECULATION IN THE FUTURE. (Wll Street Journal.) The president of a bank which con, templates the establishment of branches abroad, but has not yet come to a definite conclusion on the matter, makes the following interesting state ment: "It may be that we are approaching the time when speculation in securi ties cf AnxGrican railroads will be very greatly curtailed. The new reg ulations proposed in the president's antitrust program, combined with those to which the roads are already subjected, will remove much of the element of mystery which is essential to speculation, and the securities of our railroads will then make an ap peal only to the investor. That is wholesome and desirable; but in a rich city, and a rich country like ours, there will always be a great many people who will desire to speculate, and if they do not find the opportun ity at home they will seek it abroad. "American banks having branches in the great foreign financial centres will be in touch with affairs outside of our own country, and through them the opportunities will be afforded for intelligent speculation in the securi ties of companies operating in sec tions of the world of which the very names are now unfamiliar to New York ears. I think I can see the time when London's supremacy as the financial centre of the world will be seriously threatened by New York, and when there will be a stability to our financial affairs such as we have never known in the past. We shall have solid security in our investments at home and large profits from more or less speculative undertaking abroad, the risk of the latter being minimized from the diffusion of our capital all over , the world, so that a calamity in oiie country will not affect us seriously."
