An alter stands ler worship ha the Church or at the home. A closed church or a home where family prayer is neglected is an altar needing repair. Be. loved, is your family alter broke down or out of repair? Better omit breekfaet than ?wore. A pious farmer, preparing his land, anxious to aecomplish much while the weatherewee favorable, went out early with his men to work. They earao in when the breakfast horn sound- ed, ate and returned to work. They had always had family prayers before, but Satan suggested that to keep so many me nfrom work while he read and pray- ed was more than het could afford, and the good man yielded. His wife saw with grief the family altar neglected, her hue - band In haste to gat rich and departing from God. One morning those in the field waited in vain for the breakfast horn. At last they hurried to the house, hungry and wondering. No table was set, no kettle boiling oe the fire, no cook near it. The good wife was knit- ting quietly. "What d.00e this mean?" cried the husband. "I thought you were in such a hurry about your work that you hadn't time to eat." "Not time to eat! Do you think we can live without eating?" "You ean live without eating as well as without praying. Tito spirit needs the berndtof heavon as melt as the body needo the broad of earth." "Well, well," said the farmer, 'got the breakfast and we will have prayers again every morning, no matter how many workmen I have?' Through God's blessing and the wife's strategy the broken altar was repaired, "Pill four barrels with water" (vs. 33, 34.) Elijah "was so sure of God that he dared, at his command, to heap difficul- ties in his way, knowing there was no real difficulty for the Infinite One. The more unlikely tho answer, the more glory to God. 0 matchless faithi that laughs at impossibilities and even heaps them one upon another that God may vaequish them:" "Elijah the prophet came near, and - said" (v. 3(1.) Elitah prayed about fif. teen seconds. Not "much speaking" (Matt. 0: 7), but faith that God will give what we ask brings tho blessing ( alia,tett. Oi be29)1,-..nown this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant" (v. 36.) This man, subject to like passions as we are, only desired God's glory. He did not ask to be !town as rt. gereat prophet, or a worker of iniraeles, or a. leader of tlae people, but only as an obedient servant doing the will of God. • "Then tho fire of the Lord fell" (v. 38.) Prayer is meant to be answered. If yonr prayers are unanswered, there is tome reason for it, and you shouldknow it. Perhaps you are unreconoiled to some brother (Matt. 6: 28, 24); or ask self- ishly that you "may oonsumo it upon your pleasures" (James 4: 3, margin); or there Is some "iniquity" hidden in your "heart" (Psa. 66: 18; Jen 11: 10, 1]); or you have "behaved ill" (Mk. 3: 4) and not repented and asked forgive- ness. -A.

C. prepared a plan of drains for a 52 acre blook of land that had never gtown a crop -it waa too wet.. The draltne were laid that autumn. In 1010 that, 52 acres yielded potatoes and corn to the value of $2.250. The farm lies within five miles of the city of London. , Why had this land lain useless for generations? Perhape the previous owners thought it could not be drained; as a matter of fact, it WAS 0, difficult problem, for Ole land was very flat andthe outlet peon Perhaps they did not believe drainage would pay -this one crop should convince them. Ornperhans. they believed in, drainage but did not know just how to under- take ouch extensive drainage opera- tions. The ()aerie Agricultural College is endeavoring to help those in doubt about drainage. Any farmer in Ontario wishing assiatanoe in las drainage prob- lems may have the same by making application to the Department of Phy- sics, 0 A. C., Guelph. Ati soon as pos- sible after receipt of the application a drainage adviser is sent to make a survey of the land, after which he makes a complete map allowing the loca- tion of tho drains, the grade, size of tile, ote. When completed the map is sent to the owner, se that he has an accurate guide to follow in putting in his drains. tla In previous Vara, the only outlay to the farmer is the nem - sexy travelling expenses of one man in connection with the survey. The rail. ways give a rate ot it cent a. mile for this wont, so that Me travolligg ex - poises are light.
