THE MODEL PRAYER
And when ye pray, ye shall not be
as the hypocrites. The Greek word
transliterated in our "hypocrite"
means "an actor," and that is just
what a hypocrite is; he is pretending
to be something that he is not, he
is acting a part. For they love to
stand and pray. Standing was. the
customary attitude of prayer among;
the Jews, as sitting',; 4vas the attitude
of teaching, In the synagogues and
iii corners of . the streets. The Jews
prayed three times a day, at 9 a.m.,
at noon, and at 8 p.m and they pray-
ed.wherever they might be when
these hotirs arrived. That they may
be seen of men.: And heard also, 'as
they prayed aloud, their minds not
bent on talking with their Father, in
Heaven, Verily , I say unto you.
Christ's favorite inocleof emphasis.
'They have received their reward.
They have gained the applause of
men, .which is all they arc seeking,
so they should be content.
But thou, whets thou pr•:aycat, The
Christian is not to imittitc the hypo-
crites, but is to do the very opposite
of their hypocrisy. Enter into thine
inner chamber, ,the "closet" of pray-
er 0.(.01ding to King J1.111tes 'version,
some place that is "closed," And hav-
ing shut thy door. Mee arc shut out,

itatp:s there. is some thought here of
the dark Holy of Holies in tl'oe tem-
ple, cotisecated tot•li • t, secret Pres -
e
ence of the Almighty, And thy d'.

pense thee, (roil', most blessed Fee-
ward for secret prayer is a secret re-

lowship with the Father, the constant

And in. praying use not vain repc-
1 :Alonrt, as the Gentiles. do, Theboa-
then, all that are not Jews. "Ilse vain
repetitions" is one word in the Greek,
"a word formed in imitation of the
sound, battalogein; properly, to stem -
'neer; then to table or prate, to re-
peat the same formula many times,
as the worshippers of Baal and of
Diana of Ephesus, and the Roman-
ists with their pater rosters and ay-
es." For they think that they shall
be' heard for their much speaking.
Christ does not forbid' the repetition
of prayers that are born of earnest-
nest and not of empty formalism, and
we are to remember His parable of
the widow who wore out the unjust
judge by her passionately reiterated
appeals. Neither is Christ forbidding
long prayers, if they are real prayers;
He is only forbidding prayers that
are false, unreal:.
13e not therefore like unto diem.
Tlie Christian is to pattern his life
after• examples, but think how many
noble examples he has to .pattern af-
ter! For your Father knoweth what
things ye4'have need of, before ye
ask ]dim. :If God knows our wants,
why pray at all? In the 'first place,
prayer shouid be adoration, cotn-
ntuniion, and theeksgiving, es well as
petition; and in the second place, God
wants tis to express our desires, as
evidence of faith in Him and de-
pendence on Hien, just as an earthly
father knows what his children need,
but .would feel hurt if they did not
talk over their needs and desires with
hint.
After this manner therefore pray
ye. "When the Lord said this, we
know that He intended His follow-
ers. not to use the exact words. only,
as a prayer itself; but itiot'e especial-

And forgive its our debts, as we
also have forgiven our debtors. "Who
acn say that there are not things in
his life left undone which he ought
to have done, and things done which
he ought not to have done? In the
best -spent ddys of the best -spent life,
how many are the actual transgres-
sions! how many more the failures
and shortcomings!"
And bring us not into temptation.
This is a prayer of God's leading;
"You are in a world of temptation
and you have never passed this way
before. How can you avoid anxiety?
How many souls tremble at the sta-
dow of tomorrow." But deliver us
from the evil one. The Greek may be
either masculine or neuter, either
"from the evil one," i.e-, Satan; or,
"from the evil thing," i.e., evil in any
form.
TREASURES IN HEAVEN.
Lay not up for yourselves treasur-
es upon the earth. Our attitude may
ward a very slight possession may
inake it a "treasure upon ,the earth,"
while many a person has owend vast
wealth and yet made it a 'means of
securing treasures in. heaven. Where,
moth and rust consume. Orientals
put much of their weatlh into costly
garments which were often ruined by
moths. 'They had no banks and -of-
ten buried their money in the ground
where it would corrode. And where
thieves break through and "steal, Lit-
erally, "dig through," the house walls
being only of sun-dried mud. The
absence of windows froth 'Oriental
homes made it necessary for burglars
to break through the walls.
But lay tip for yourselves treasures
it heaven. "We have lost loved ones
who have gone before; and so with
much thought of them, and of God,
and of the dear Saviour, your conver-
sation is in heaven." Where neither
moth nor .rust doth consume, and
where thieves do not break through
nor Meal. "Treasures in heaven is
lasting treasure! The man who has
laid up treasure on earth loses it all
when he .dies; but the roan whose
treasure is laid' up in heaven 19oks
forward to an inheritance incorrupt-
ible and Undefiled and which fadeth
not away."
For where thy treasure is, there
willthy heart be also. "If we 'lay up
treasure in heaven,' live Imre, useful,
Christian lives, our hearts will be
where our treasure is, we shall love
God, and good men, and the noblest
things,'
TRUSTING GOD
I Be not therefore anxious. Note
,that this is a command, as binding
as any ever uttered. If we worry we
are breaking one of Christ's solemn
commandments. • Saying, What shall
IWe eat? or, What shall we drink? or,
Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
"In the last • analysis we shall find,
,if we made the analysis fearlessly,
that our worry is not about mere
food and rnci'e raiment, bet about
isuperfluous food and superfluous rai-
ment; and our Lord would call us
(back to the 'eanacioti n est that life
itself is an infinitely larger thing than
the externals of life,"
For after all these things do the
!Gentiles seek. 'The heathen world,
knowing nothing of a loving heaven-
ly Father, seeps eagerly (the verb
has that meaning) after fhe externals
of life; but. Christians, knowing;' their

"Ohio go zai mashital" the writer
called softly in her best Oriental tone,
as, rambling along the countryside, a
half -opened door revealed a small
girl grinding rice by hand: A soft

nearby objeets, even fringing the

Kate Kerby in the Ohristian Science
Monitor.
"May I come in? An older sister
with a rosy -cheesed baby strapped
on her back and an English spelling
book in her hand, appeared from, a
dark corner and smiled a pleasantly
serious invitation to enter, as she
drew forward the red guest stool. It
developed later that she was attend-
ing a night class for girls about a
mile distant and could understand
slowly spoken simple English. The
stranger learned all about the farm
of five acres owned by this family.
It was a large farm in that neighbor-
hood, most of them being only two or
three acres in extent. The farms are
divided by narrow strips of unculti-
vated landa foot or two in width.
•About half of the produce of these
tenant farmers goes to the owner for
'rent.
Then Matsu, the girl with the
baby, took her guest behind a screen
and explained how the fine rice fiour
was used in the thin little cakes, and
•in the delis-a•te "mochi," the cake for
birthdays and festivals. This child
'was evidently the housekeeper, for
]the mother and another sister work-
led
tr -
led in a silk factory, where she ter.
iwould go as soon as the baby was 0
!little older. Girls are more dexter-
ous inthis industry than boys, so are
}always in demand. Another and leen
pleasant reason for their popularity
".is that they are paid less.
Two other sisters were engaged in
a paper hill where the beautiful rice
'paper, res soft as silk, is made. The
`drying process requires very careful
(handling, it is made up into books
!and other things; all the bindery
work being done by girls,
While western organizations are
opening up other avenues of work,
!such as stenography, typewriting,
clerkships in stores, etc., it is in the
itextile industries that the great ma-
jority of girls and women in Japan
'are employed in silk reeling, cotton
spinning and weaving, etc., even
'though in these industries wages are
lower and hours longer than in cler-
ical positions. But, as little Maten
explained, the 12 -hour day will soon
,be reduced to 11 or less. The big
'factories are putting up fire escapes,
providing lunches in some cases, and
meeting the expenses of employee
ee
who are injured. Also night work
for girls a.nd women is to be pr'ohibit-
'ed. In 1925 there were 181;03.2 nem
and boys employed 121 the textile in-
dustry, mid. 781,599 women ei el 1 vie.

the poor little cabins. Many fa.etorir:s

than cost. The supervision is rather
strict, as, for instance, the girls are
not allowed outside the company's
compound oftener than once a week.
The conditions in these dormitories
are being rapidly improved. The regu-
lations call for only 16 girls in a
large room, two in a bed. The bed,
called a "futan," is made of heavy
quilts laid directly on the matted
floor. This couch is rolled up in: the
morning and put away. The food, too,
which formerly was of poor quality,
is now of higher grade and served in
larger rations.
Since 500,000 woman and girls in
Japan live in factory dormitories,
according to Harada's "Labor Condi- 1
tions in Japan," these improvements
are important. Particularly is this
true as this small country, with its
60,000,000 inhabitants, increasing at
the rate of approximately 900,000 a
year, has a comparatively small .
amount of arable land and few min- '
oral deposits and is therefore rapidly
turning to industrialization as a solu-
tion of the economic problem.
But better than all the commercial •
and industrial changes that have
taken place in the Last sixty years is
the new spiritual outlook of the peo-
ple. The old philosophy of fatalism
andcalm resignation to a life of
hardship and toll is, under a more
favorable environment, fast giving
way as the possibilities of a brighter
and 'happier mode oS living appear.

CITY OF GENEVA.
German Publication Gives interesting
Facts.
The city of Genera, always a pic-
turesque resort, lias attained a quite
extraordinary political significance, as
a meeting place for the delegates to
the League of Nations. A German
publication, "Der Querschnitt," re-
cently gave us some interesting facts
about the League and its city:
"As a matter of fact, the League
includes half a thousand or so diplo-
mats and would-be diplomats. They
come `rom forty -free countries enc'
constitute the first international min-
istry of foreign affairs of the embry-
onto world state. Their attitude on
political, social, and material ques-
tions determines the character and
the functioning. of Geneva's League
of Nations—the greatest curiosity in'
the world's history.
"During the war, there stood on
the shores of Lake Leman a prince -e,
hotel—which served primarily es a
centre for international espionage.
After the peace, when Brussels, The
Hague, Vienna, and. Constantinople
each failed to have itself selected as
the seat of the new League of Na-
tions, this mammoth inn was chosen.
and Geneva thereby lost its only tru-
ly palatial hostelry. It had been the
Hotel National, valued at five and a
half million Swiss francs."
THE ACCORDION.
Encyclopaedia Says "Its Capabilities
are Extremely Limited."
To -day we hear many bitter dis-
cussions on the value of such instru-
ments as the saxophone and the bag-
pipes, but when Damian, of Vienna,
produced the first accordion, a hun-
dred years ago, he caused more both-
er and bitterness in ten minutes than
saxophones and bagpipes have caused
in years.
Discussion raged whether the ac-
cordion was a musical instrument or
a weapon, while leading encyclopae-
dias described the instrument as
"coarse in timbre and devoid of beau-
ty," "much inferior to the eonec,-
tina," and "its capabilities are ex-
tremely limited,"
First tried out at a Viennese ranee -
cal festival, the accordion soon sank
to barrel -organ level. The wily source
of revenue from it was for taking it
