Prayers of the True Believers Is a
Help and Solace
"Awl Hannah prayed, and said," etc.-
!. sauwel xi. 1.
The chapter from which the above text
b taken shows clearly that Hannah's
prayer was nothing but a hymn of
praise. It follows therefore that in a
biblical sense prayer and praise are
synonymous terms. Ilan:•e the writer of
the Psalms finishes the second book with
the words "Hare are ended fhe prayers
et David, the son of Jesse."
Although most, if not all, of these
prayers express only gratitude and
thanksgiving. praise is interwoven with
tend implied in prayer, for both prayer
and praise emuuato hum one source
ria we, namely, perfect faith and belief
tri (kat. The true believer in disclosing
Ns hear( w supplication before Iho Al-
mighty proves his hope and cunfldence
In and dependence upon Him, and thus
he tacitly adores and
GLORIFIES 1115 HOLY NAME.
The unbeliever, however, never feels
the necessity of uttering words of prayer
or praise. The people of Israel joined
their leader, Moses, in chanting a song
of praise unto God only. They firmly
Relieved in Him, as It is said. "And they
believed in the Lord," etc., "then sang
'Moses and the children of Israel," etc.
The only reason why so many in our
present day have become callous and in-
sensible to prayer and praise is simply
because their religion is shallow and
their belle( superficial. God dwells not
in their hearts, hence prayer never
passes their lips. It is true that euch
people, too, sometimes resort to prayer;
fur instance, when they are plunged into
dist rss ; when any signal misfortune
befalls them they cry out in terror and
despair fur help.
BUT WHAT A PRAYER!
'!'herr is no hope, no faith, no humility
and no resignation in such a prayer. lis
fruitless result deteriorates and degen-
erates them more than ever. Tho prayer
of the (believer, however, is always
s.wlhing, solacing, encota•aging and
elevating, even though unanswered. For
the supplicutor will attribute its ineffec-
th•eneses to his own unworthiness, and
thus ho will henceforth make efforts to
improve his demeanor and sanctify his
life
\We should, therefore, ever strive to
foster in our hearts and in the hearts of
our children true belief and the princi-
ples of true religion. Then the sweet
voice of genuine prayer and praise will
frequently bo raised in our dwellings, as
well as in our houses oI worship.

Lesson XI. I.rae'1's Escape From Egypt.
Golden text: F:tud. 11. 30.
THE LESSON WORT) STUDIES.
The Departure from Egypt. -The local-
ity from which the Lsraolites emigrated
was the vicinity of the two store cities,
Itnamses (Ramses) and 1'ithom 'll.•ru-
opeulis, Succoth), which they had Luill
for Pharaoh. The actual starting paint
was Raamses and the first slopping place
al Succoth. Froin thence they proceeded
easlw•arl to Ethan, "in the edge of the
wilderness." Elhanh is in all probability
to be identified with a frontier Egyptian
fcrlress, bearing the saute name IChe-
ta►n). Checked before this fortress, with
or without loss as the case may be, the
Israelites were bidden by Jehovah to
"turn back and encamp before Pi•hahi-
rolh, between Illigdol and the sea, before
Boal-zeplion" (Exod. 14. 2). Of all these
places connected with the initial stage of
Lsrael's journey only Pilhom has been
positively located. it is to bo identified
with Ike modern 'fel-el-Maskula, which
marks tiro site of tho ancient city also
called Succoth, which again is the
Greek Ileroopolis. When we bear In
mind that lite number of Israelites said
to have left Egypt at the time of the
exodus was no less than 600.000 men,
besides children, and that by "men" 13
meant here, as in Num. 1. 3-43, only
reales above twenty years of age, and
that therefore the entire body of Israel-
ites departing from Egypt must have
been upward of two million souls, we
cannot suppose that this entire company
had gathered at itaau►ses, the point from
which they are said to have started. iL
is quite probable that the main body of
emigrants with Mases and Aaron started
from that place, while the others, in
obedience to previous orders, started on
the same day from all parts of Casten,
converging upon Pithom or Smooth,
which had been designated as the first
rendezvous. Along with the Hebrews
went a large company of sympathizers,
dependents, and .slaves not of Hebrew
birth, spoken of in Exod. 12. 38 as a
"mixed multitude." We are also to think
of the travellers from every section as
being accompanied by larger and smaller
flocks and herds, which they had ac-
quired in Egypt. It was thus a great
migratory movement of a dependent
people such as might well cause the
Egyptian king to reconsider his previous
action in grouting this people permission
to leave and, even atter• the severe judg-
ment which had befallen him and his
people, to endeavor at this juncture to
overtake the departing hosts and com-
pel them to return. fo tho memorable
record of this attempt we are to give our
attention in our study of the present les-
son.
Verse 13. And Moses said unto the
pe•-eplo--Who, hemmed in between the
shore of the sea and the approaching
hosts of the pursuing Egyptians. were in
abject lermr at the prospect of being re-
taken by their oppressors.
For the Egyptians whom ye have seen
bo -day -Or. "for whereas ye have soon
the Egyptians to -day."
14. Jehovah will Tight for you-lt is
strange that the unwavering faith of
Moses and Aaron, together with the mar-
vellous manifestations of his power
exercised in their behalf which Jehovah
had nlready vouchsafed them, had not
inspired in the people a greater confi-
dence in the presence of difllcullies.
Even the pillar of cloud and the pillar
et fire already granted them for guid-
ance (Exod. 13. 21) were not enough to
overcome their fear at this juncture.
15. Wherefore criest thou unto me? -
While seeking to cmicourage the people
Moses was apparently in secret much
discouraged himself. Probably his ear•
nest prayer to Jehovah was also offered
ie some place of secrecy, apart from the
multitude.
16. Lift up Illy rod -The same shep-
hcr.l'a crook which from the first ap-
pearance unto him on the mountainside
of Horeb had server( as a medium of :to

power.
Over the sea and divide it ---We aro to
think of the extreme northwestern arum
o; the lied Sea. or more exactly still, of
the extreme northern end of the Gulf of
Siiez. This in ancient limes unquestion-
ably extended farther north even than
nt present. 'flint the bed of this gulf as
of the entire sen is becoming steadily
shallower by the gradual rise of the
land, which is largely of a coral forma -
hen, has been proved beyond the !twsl-
bility of doubt. It is probable that at
the time of the exodus the waters of the
gulf stretched up Iho Isthmus of Suez
into the Biller Lakes, now separated
from the ewe them end if the channel
by a long singe!' of lowland. The exact
point at which the Israelite, crossed the
waters of the Gulf Ls not to be deter-
minal, but we are doubtless to think of
some point lying between the present
n Ahern extremity of the Gulf end the
waters of the Bitter Lakes. The unnnncr
iii which the waters were parted. thus
offering to the Israelites a way of esse•ape,
is suggested in our explanation of verse
21 below.

LAWN FOI1 SUMMEI1 DAYS.
While the making of dresses Is no
linger the comparatively easy work it
used to be. there are many women who
never have been taught sewing and
dressmaking who are clover enough
with their needle, and, with some hints
as to the fashioning of garments can
do wonders. Several especially good
'coking dresses have been noticed rec-
ently, and in the following notes
enough of tete detail work of each is
given to make it quite easy to be fob
lewcd by the home sewer.
A fascinating pretty ,dress for warm
days is made of Persian lawn of a fine
quality. This has the advantage of
laundering well. The skirt can be cut
Ite a pinin circular skirt pattern, but
great care always should be used in
handling. so as not to stretch or alter
the shape. After tete skirt is cut, di -
tide the length into three sections, hav-
ing the bottom one the widest, and
each of the others somewhat narrower.
These sections are cul apart. making
three separate ruffles as It were, and
a little later on they are joined to-
gether either with a Valenciennes laser -
Lon about two inches wide or fine swLss
embroidery. The edge of each ruffle is
rolled and whipped on to the lace t,r
embroidery by hand. To innke the
wheels, crease the material first on the
length, then across the width. and
then in between. The wheels on the top
flounce are six inches in length. in a
Cress of this kind they should be made
by hand. nun in the tiniest possible
lucks on Iheee creases, running off in
nothing, and begin each one a quarter
of an Inch from the middle point.
Work French knots in between the
kicks.
Cut out the material in the middle.
making a circle one-half inch in diame-
ler, and fill that in with a spider's web,
On the next two flounces 11►e wheels
are n little larger. The spaces between
the wheels measure about the diameter
of the wheel.
The waist buttons in the back. On
the front there are three wheels, one on
each shoulder, and a !urger ono in the
middle of the front. As much fullness
s. possible is given by running in
small tucks on either side of the shoul-
der wheels, and lace insertion Is set
in, and a small square yoke of the Omer -
lion joined by a lino nninser,k bending.
The back of the waist is trimmed to
match the front. The sleesres each have
n wheel. put in so it comes on the top

This skirl and waist ran be joined by

tion for a band or finished separately.

ens. The skirl of the tine described was

like illustration. The plaits then are
pinned to the gores. and each plait
should be even with the skirt at the top,
rend the point on the plait that the
stitching makes (which also is the point
where the box plait is sewed down to
in the wrong side) should meet ex -
roily the point Io which the skirt seams
are stitched. Sew each edge of plait
below the stitched point to each edge
c 1 the gore. Bind the seams and then
paste the plait in place. The box plait
is blind stitched to the skirt seam from
foist up to the waLst, keeping the mid-
dle of the plait over scant of skirt. The
skirt has an easy fit over the (ups
across the back, but no plaits are laid
nt the waist, as thero Ls a box plait

A box plaited skirt made in this way
n:w•nys keeps its shape. There Le no
passible chalice for it to sag, and, while
it fits smoothly over the hips, it flares
Leaulifully around the bottom.
Box plaits always should be made
with a straight ►niddle-bilis Ls of the
greatest importance.
The jacket Is ono of (hose natty af-
fairs reaching nearly to the, waist, just
meeting !n front and having sleeves
that reach just below the elbow. Any
preferred Iriunnting can be used, either
stitched straps of silk to match the
waist which goes with the suit or some
cif the fancy braids and buttons which
are so touch in evidence at the present
moment.
The waist is made of one of those
soft, lustrous silks in a plain blue,
hooked invisibly in the back. The front
has a shoulder plait and there are
shaped pieces of the silk put on as a
trimming. The neck is cut nut in the
tiniest V back and front and the open-
ing finished with an inch wide knife
plaiting of the silk. There is a little
gui►npo of lace, which is detachable,
worn in the neck. The sleeves aro
nearly the sante length as the coat
sleeves, and there Is a plaiting on both
edges of the straight band cuff. There
also should be a little plaiting of va-
lemciennes lace in the sleeves under the
silk platting.
A mushroom hal, trimmed with blue
cornflowers and exactly the right shade

suit; also black gloves reaching to the
elbow.
WAR ON MARIiiV:%NA SMOKING.
Mexican Government Wants to Extermi-
nate a Weed that Crazes.
The effects of smoking lite marihuana
weed are so harmful that nn effort is to
be made under direction of the Govern-
ment to exterminate the plant through-
nh.t Mexico. The War Department issued
orders some time ago prohibiting sol-
diers from smoking the herb. The law
against gathering or selling it has been
extended lo apply to all classes.
The consequences of smoking mari-
huana were shown at Monterey the
other day. A friend gave \lalquiades
Mireles. a Mexican laborer, a small sup-
ply of the weed as a joke and told him
lc sinoke i1. Mireles tolled the broken
leaf into the form of a cigarette and be-
gan smoking it.
Pleasurable sensations at first passed
over him. ile• had hardly finished smok-
ing the cigarette when he was su•ldenly
seized with a Ill of Insanity. He made a
murderous assault upon his wife tvlth-a
knife and then stabbed a policeman.
Mireles then ran, pursued by a force of
pc.lice and other men. Ile ran for sev-
eral blocks and then turned and attack-
ed his pursuers. Ile was knocked sense-
less, bound and shut up Ili n room where
he remained until the effects nl the mari-
huana had worn off. When he came to
Ito could remember nothing about his
ac 1 ions.
A report hos been received nt Mexico
City from Tuxtla Gutierrez. Stele of Chi -
apes, that Jose Solos, a deserter from
the Fifteenth Battalion of the army,
while under the influence of marihuana
killed Maximo Salazar, a citizen of that
place. Some was violently insane w•1►en
he e•on ini1beei the nhurdrr.
Ile learned to use tnarihuona while in
the army. and his uncontrollable desire
foe the weed led to his desertion. .Tho
murder was done with a knife, Solos
walking up to his victim and without a
weerd burying the blade In his body.
It Ls a rare thing for a foreigner to be-
come addicted to the use of marihuana.
One instance of this kind is rep,rte d
from the city of Oaxaca.
A young American located there sev-
eral yenr:s ago and went into the mining
business. Ile prospered and became
wealthy. One day while on a hunting
trip he was induced by an old Mexican
10 smoke a cigarette of morihuana. Ile
found that the sensations of the poison
were indeseribably delightful.
Ile had smoked perhaps it dozen nr
more of the cigarettes in as many day c,
when le was suddenly seized with a fit
o! insanity. Ile broke away from this
home and ran inln the mnunteins. where
he remained for several lines. The In-

Ism Lands.
Tho Mississippi is the largest river on
tho American couliuent. The Saskat-
chewan is next In size. These two stele-
nhenls at once challenge farther com-
parisons. They Mississippi valley extends
in a trend of population and furnishes
'tautens° nuturul transportation facili-
ties. The settlement, the bringing under
cultivation, and the modernizing of the
alisissippi valley were essentially the
great agricultural enterprise of the nine-
teenth century in the Republic of Amer-
ica. Identical transfornnation in the Sas.
katchewan valley is the agricultural and
industrial undertaking in the fro dento-
cracy of Canada. The work of the nine-
teenth century was strenuous in the ex-
treme, for the people brought to this
work of such magnitude no experiences
of former gigantic conquests, no lessons
learned from other' labors, but as the
needs of the hand demanded the brain
was busy with invention. But not so
are the conditions surrounding the set -
liens In the Saskatchewan valley. Every
device of modern ingenuity is readily
available to bring the land under crop,
to harvest it, to transport and market
the produce and to build tonnes.
BUCK11OARD VERSUS AUTOMOBILE.
The buckboard was the chief means of
transportation in the clays of the settle-
ment of the Mississippi valley, but tate
automobile Is frequently met on Una
prairie (rails In (hese first days of the
settlement of Saskatchewan. The differ-
ence indicated by these two means of
travel Ls a mark of the relative difference
that will distinguish the nineteenth cen-
tury modernizing of the Mississippi val.
ley from the twentieth century evolution
in the Saskatchewan. That was the time
et our fathers and grandfathers, this is
ou: lime and our importunity to build a
country, a civilization, and we are con-
fident of our ability to do this thing.
TRADE ROUTES.
Nor do we step farther out across the
face of the earth when we lura our feet
toward this great valley in the north,
but rather draw nearer the throhbing
heart of our mother rape, nearer to
Europe and England and London. Sonia
idea of the location of this vast new land
may be gained by a comparison of the
relative positions of St. Paul and Prance
Albert, a town on the upper central part
o' the Saskatchewan River, to Liverpool,
which t the largest single receiving
pcint of American produce in Europe.
From St. Paul In I.iverpool via lite

of Boston Ls 4,403 miles, or out of Mont-

tance Ls 1,790, but a road ,: in process
of building to Churchill. and the Govern-
ments of Alberta and Saskatchewan and
the Dominion have under advisement the
completion of another which places,
Prince Albert just 700 milers torn the tide
water and 3,200 miles from Liverpool, or
1.200 mile., nearer than is St. Paul. The
cempletion of this new route will also
bring Winnipeg. the commercial centre
of the Canadian Northwest, 675 miles
nearer Liverpool than bite is now by the
Montreal route. •
FREIGHT RATES REGULAII.
Nor is it in the shorter distance to
world's markets alone that Ihe prxfucer
in the Saskatchewan valley has an ad -
ventage in transportation fncihlie.s over
the resident of the Mississippi valley.
The nature of the route is equally signi-
flcant. O►►ly 700 mules of the distance
from Prince Albert to Liverpool is by
rail, the expensive method of Iran/port-
Ing freight, while nearly all the rest of
the way it is possible to compete by
river craft. The direction of Ihc course
of the Soakntchewah and the Nelson,
with their lakes, •also provides n natural
regulator of rates by being navigable
for hundreds of mules into tete interior.
Sen far, was have been speaking of the
valley of the Saskatchewan, but on re-
ference to the map of Canada the render
will see that in reality there are Iwo
valleys, that the Snskatchewan fonts

table empire. the south brancli being
