Teach Us to Pray.
Lard, tench us how to pray
Oh. do Thou Irad the way!
So rough the path sometimes, to aim

So steep and dlro where fall the shadow

And lead us Into day.
Tench us for what to pray

Walking by Faith.
"For we walk by faith, not by
.Rht." What Is It to "walk by faith?"
Alas, It Is something so difficult that
few of us ever attain to It. for It Is a
willingness to trust God Implicitly and
absolutely tinder circumstances be
yond the possibility of explanation.
Troubles, great and small, may be
cur portion. Storms of sorrow may
descend upon our heads, and "fiery
trials" be sent to test our very souls,
and yet, though to others our sub
missive endurance of these may ap
pear a supreme proof of "faith," in our
Inmost hearts we may be conscious
that we are really "walking by sight,"
inasmuch as we are able to discern
the reason of these dispensations, or
at least to guess at their meaning.
It Is only when Gods "whys" and
"wherefores" are utterly hidden from
our eyes, when no smallest gleam of
light pierces the thick darkness, and
His dealings with us are absolutely
Inexplicable alike to reason and to
conscience, that we can be said to
"walk by faith." Blind trust that is
what "faith" means; reduced to its
last analysis, such a belief in God's
character as makes us willing to ac
cept as right whatever comes from
Kim. "God Is love," the soul says,
in Its agony, therefore God cannot act
pnlovlngly, and this sorrow, or trial,
or trouble, must be uecessarlly for me,
because He sent It.
The lesson is one that all God's
children must be taught in greater or
less degree, but it is only His most
apt scholars who are able to master
It perfectly His spiritual heroes
that He sets this lesson in all the an
guish of a personal application. To
the rest of us In mercy to our weak
ness, which He sees could not bear
fcuch strain He allots the easier task
-ot learning "faith" from the faith of
these sorely tried ones, and allows a
gleam of light to fall upon our dark--est
dispensations.
Each Hia Own Lamp.
One of the most serious thoughts
about life is its individuality. St.
Paul puts it In a sentence when he
says: "Each man shall bear his own
burden." We are in danger of for
getting this truth. We think so much
of our lives In their mutual relations
that unless we are careful, we lose
sight of our individual responsibility.
The duty of helping each other Is so
impressed upon us that we sometimes
forget that In the deepest experiences
of life we cannot help each other, nor
can we receive help from others.
Each one has to stand for himself.
Each one should think of himself as an
individual, standing alone before God,
having no companionship in the most
vital affairs of life, and should seek
to realize the responsibility of this
position.
When we think of it, the truth read
ily becomes apparent. No one can
choose for us; each one must make
his own decisions. We must take our
own place before God and meet our
own responsibilities. No one can be
lieve on Christ for us. Others may
intercede for us when we have sinned,
but until we ourselves, In penitence
and contrition, repent, confess and
seek forgiveness, forgiveness will not
come to us. Four men carried a par
alytic to Jesus, and we are told that
when Jesus saw their faith he forgave
the man's sins and then healed him.
But we know well that the sins were
not forgiven because of the faith of
the four friends who carried the man.
There must have been In his own
heart a sense of unworthiness, a con
fession of sin, a cry of forgiveness, or
Jesus would not have said to him:
"Thy sins are forgiven thee." No one
but ourselves can consecrate our life
to God. No one can obey the com
mandments for us. No one can do
our duty. All about us may be those
who are busy and active In God's ser
vice, keeping his commandments and
doing his work, but this avails noth
ing for us; we must do God's will for
ourselves.
Each one of us must get the love
and mercy of God Into his own heart
by a personal faith In Christ. Each
ot us must have a lamp of his own
and must have It filled and burning.
No one can walk In the light of an
other's torch. No matter how holy a
wife Is, how earnest she Is in her
prayers, how full ot God's love her
heart is, her husband cannot stand In
the light ot her lamp; he must have
fclu own lamp or walk in darkness.
In the parable, the fooliBh virgins, in
their hour ot need, cried to the wise:
'Give us of your oil; for our lamps
are going out." But we know the an-
ewer: "Peradventure there will not
be enough for ua and you." Perhapg
It seems to us that the wise ought to
have given part of their oil to the
poor foolish ones.
There Is said to be In a private gal
lery In Boston a fine representation
of this scene In marble. A wise vir
gin la kneeling, trimming her lamp.
A foolish virgin, with a most pathetic
expression, Is begging oil from her
sister. The wise, however, with in
expressible sadness, lifts tip her hand
as If saying: "Not so." It Is re
lated that a great literary man, stand
ing before this group, said: "She
ought to have given her the oil." Per
haps many of us have felt as we have
read the parable, that the wise vir
gins ought to have shared their sup
ply. Does their refusal seem ungen
erous? Our blessed Um everywhere
In His gospel teaches us that we
should give to every one that aslieth
of us, that the strong should bear the
burden of the weak. Why does he
represent the wise virgins as seeming
so unpttiful?
A deep moral truth lies In this part
of the parable. The grace of God Is
sr.mething which cannot be given by
one to another. There are points In
life at which no one can help his
friend. J. R. Miller. D. D.
A Higher and Deeper Power.
It Is a great thing never to show
Impatience, to be always the same,
under disappointment, In weariness
and pain, whpn things go wrong and
people are stupid and vexatious to go
on steadily without a sharp or fretful
tone In the voice, without petulance or
hasty judgment or shaken trust or
slackened diligence and effort. Those
who reach that point of self mastery
and self possession may come to be
leaders of men and do great things
But there is a still higher, deeper pow
er in the patience ot those who are
indeed crucified with Christ, crucified
to the world, and whose life Is hid
with Christ In God. The patience of
those who as they move about in the
world may set thoughtless people won
dering where that quiet, bright grace
was learned, feeling somehow that,
after all, they that are Christ's have
hold of something that the world can
not give and have found a way better
than the world's ways, and that there
are reality and truth In those words
which have perhaps the strongest
power words can have to touch the
springs of longing in the hearts of
men: Come unto Me, all ye that, labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest. Take My yoke upon yon
and learn of Me, for I am meek and
lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest
unto your souls. For My yoke is easy
and My burden lb llgnt."
Remembering Our Forgiveness.
Forgive and remember! That is the
best rule. Forgive, and remember
that you have forgiven. Far too many
people forgive and forget. These are
Just the people who say that It Is im
possible for them to forget, as If this
were a credit to them. The real
trouble Is that they do continually
forget that they'have forgiven. Every
circumstance that brings the injury
back to them finds them unmindful
of the fact that they have forgiven it.
They are irritated by memory of the
wrong. Instead of softened by remeni'
brance of the forgiveness of it. Other
hearts cherish accurately and acute
ly the tenderness of their forgiving
than they do the Irritation of the feel-
lng of being wronged. Here Is a re
membering that Is worth striving for
One Life.
One small life in God's great plan-
How futile It seems as the ages roll
Do what It may or strive how It can
To alter the sweep In the Infinite
whole!
A single stitch In an endless web.
A drop In the ocean's flow and ebb!
But the pattern is rent where the
stitch is lost,
Or marred where the tangled threads
have crossed;
And each life that falls of Its true In
tent
Mars the perfect plan that the Master
meant.
Susan Coolldge,
A Sunday Meditation.
The ringing bells call me to Thy
house, O Ixinl, on this day set apart
for thy worship.
All days are thine, O Lord, and In
all the ways of life, and In all places
I may truly adore thee.
But on this day, and In thy house,
where thy people assemble In Thy
name to honor Thee and to hear Thy
Word, there are treasures of grace
and strength and peace for all the
other days and for all the other da
ties of life.
Therefore, O Lord, hear Thy serv
ant, who now goes forth for this
blessed season of public devotion and
instruction.
I surrender myself to Thee; I leave
behind mo nit world cares and stud
ies; I go to Thy house to join with
Thy people In loving and reverent de
votion and as we shall together praise
Thy name, hear Thy Word, plead Thy
promises, and consecrate ourselves to
Thy constant service, do Thou pour
out upon us, O Holy Father, Thy
blessed Holy Spirit, through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen. Bishop Vin

PHILIPPINE COMPETITION WITH
DOMESTIC SUGAR.
Should the Efforts of American Farm-
ere to Develop the Beet Growing In
dustry Be Defeated by Undue Favor
itism for the Far Away Tagalogs?
Before agreeing to a reduction in
tho tariff on sugar from the Philip
pines Congress should consider wheth-
ei the Interests of the American peo
ple or those of the Inhabitants of the
Philippine islands are the more worthy
of consideration and protection.
To make a heavy reduction in the
tariff on Philippine sugar would be to
open the doors to competition with the
beet sugar industry of this country,
and It is altogether possible that the
latter would be destroyed.
In this connection It should bo ob
served that the recent Philippine gov
ernment bill provided that the local
government In those Islands should
have the right and power to regulate
Immigration Into the archipelago. In
other words. If It should be considered
desirable In the Interests of the sugar
Industry to open the doors to Chinese
Immigration, thousands of laborers
might be brought from China to work
In the cane fields. With sugar pro
duced by such labor American beet
sugar would have to compete.
Secretary Taft, who Is an advocate
of n reduction in the tariff on Philip
pine sugar, had his sympathies In be
half of those Islands awakened by his
residence there as trovernor. He sees
v. hat, in his opinion, the Philippines
need, ami her.ee he advocates legisla
tion that would be beneficial to them.
That the proposed reduction In the
tariff would be beneficial to the Phil
ippines no one will deny. Hut it must
also be admitted that It would be
very Injurious to the beet sugar In
dustry In the t'nlted States, and par
ticularly In tho far west. .
If Philippine sugar were brought
itito the United States under a low
tariff a large percentage of It would
be Imported by way of San Francisco.
HIS HEAD IN A CLOUD OF THEOR V.
The first market sought for It would
be that of the far west, and hence the
beet sugar Industry of California.
Colorado and other states west of the
one-hundredth meridian would be the
first to suffer.
Whatever may be said about the
obligation of this country to provide,
for the Philippines. It cannot be main
tained that it is greater than the obli
gation to look after the Interests of
the people at home. The production
ot sugar from beets has been found to
be an Industry particularly adapted to
this section of the country. Shall the
effort of the farmers and others to de
velop the resources of Colorado and
other parts of the arid region be crip
pled or defeated for the Bake of stlm
ulatlng the sugar Industry In the
Philippine Islands? Denver Repub
lican. Reciprocity and the Sugar Trust.
There is a curious persistence on
the part of the tariff tinkers of the
Senate in a movement to promote the
interests of the American Sugar trust
at the expense of Important home ag
ricultural Industries.
Within a few years past the sugar
growers of the I'nlted States were en
gaged In a desperate fight to save
their product from free sugar, or what
was next to It, from Cuba. The tariff
i.n Cuban sugar was. after all, heavily
reduced, on the pretense of making a
reciprocity arrangement that would
largely Increase in Cuba a market for
various products of the industry of the
people of the United States, and this
was to he done by a raid on the suusr
growers In the I'nlted States, ami
chiefly In the southern states.
The act was accomplished, with the
result that Culm pours her sugar I r t
this country under conditions of spe
cial favor, while she Is careful to buy
as few of our goods as possible, niul
draws all her supplies that she can
IMisslbly pet there from European
countries. The official figures are that

ayune. DUTY ON HIDES.
The Man Behind the Plow Strong
Enough to Protect His Rights.
The illogical attitude of those who
urge the removal of the tariff on hides
Is thus made clear by the Kansas City
Star, a consistent advocate of unre
stricted competition:
"There Is ; duty of 35 per cent on
lrnther manufactures. The consumers
have even greater reason to demand
the removal of that duty than to ob
ject to the tariff on hides, for It con
tributes more to the cost of leather
pood. But the shoe and leather men
are Interested only In what affects
their profits. They are Imposed on,
but In turn they Impose on the con
sumers In a larger degree. If the tar
iff on hides and that on leather manu
factures were both removed, then, and
only then, the people would siicure the
advantages of open competition."
The Star Is right in the contention
that the removal of the duty on Un
hide would necessitate the removal ol
the duty on leather manufactures. The
Industry of the factory Is no more en
titled to protection than Is the Indus
try of the farm. There are six mil
lion farms In this country. The man
ul'nclurer had best not forget that fact.
The man behind the plow Is strong
enough to see that when protection Is
withdrawn from agricultural Indus
trialism It will be withdrawn from nl1
other forms of industrialism.

Make Haste Slowly.
That some changes In the tariff ma
hi! needed is probably true, but that
they are so urgent that business
should be thrown Into confusion in
the effort to make them is not true
The country is prospering, and so lonp
as it Is In that condition It can afford
to make haste, slowly. It Is possible
that an extra session will be called
to meet some time next October, six
weeks before the opening of the regu
lar session, hut It Is highly linprob

BTTINQ STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
Tho Difference Between Seasons Fully
Explained.
Spring planting of strawberries
which requires work and has the use
of one's land a whole year without
profit, may be a good system in dry
Rummers, but In wet summers like
1904 and the last three, give me late
summer and fall planting. My spring
plants were put on clean ground, but
rains came on and made It too wet
to go upon with horse and cultivator,
but weeds grew like magic. Being
busy with more pressing work, they
had to be hoed or given to the weeds,
not counting other crops, which
would have to be neglected. It would
cost more than the berries would
bring, and so much of tho spring plant
ing must be plowed under. Now, let
us look at the August planting. Early
potatoes and bean vines were turned
under August 1. First runners wero
set in rows three Inches apart August

before frost, I fallowed to do so. A.

COMMISSIONER GARFIELD'S RE
PORT ON BEEF INDUSTRY.
The report of Commissioner Car
Mold on tho beef industry has at la.it
been published. It must be some
what of a surprise to those who have
been Indulging In wholesale adverse
criticism tiiHin the met hods of the
Chicago packers, as It discloses facts
and figures which clearly show that
the great food producers havo been
Innocent of the serious offenses with
which they have been charged. They
have been for a long lime accused by
newspapers all over the country of
extortionate prices deiuuiidoil, ami ob
tained, of depression of values of cat
tle at the various stockyards where
their business Is conducted, of enor
mous prollts wholly disproportionate
to the capital employed, ami, lu gen
eral, of so carrying on their business
that tho public, under an organized
system of spoliation, weie being
robbed for their exclusive benefit.
We find now, however. Hint not a
single one of tin-He charges has been
sustained hut, on the contrary, that
rigid and searching investigation, of
ficially made, has resulted In com
plete nciiitttal.
Instead of extortion It Is shown that
no Industry can he found where so
narrow a margin of profit prevails
the actual records and original en
tiles, to which the commissioner had
froo access, showing that' the high
est net profit any of (he packers
made on their sales of beef was two
and three tentliH per cent In 1 '. i J nnd
in one Instance that the profit iculi.cd
in 1904 was one and eight tenths per
cent,
Tho vaiistlons In the market prices
for cattle are exhaustively t rented
and no evidence of any kind was dis
covered, or even hinted at, lending to
show that values of cattle are In the
ttilgiileHl degree Improperly affected
or controlled by packers at any of
the chief centers of the industry.
)n the whole, the report completely
dissipates the prevalent Idea that
great fortunes are being amnssrd by
illegal and Improper methods em
ployed by western packers, showing
that notwithstanding (he high price
for beef prevailing In l'M2 (bo busi
ness wus less remunerative than In
years chnracti-rl.ed by normal values,
both for cattle and product. Ho says
"that tho year ItniL', Instead of being
one of exorbitant profits, as has been
rommoiily supposed, was less profit
able than usual. In fact, during (tin
months when the prices of beef wem
the highest, some, at least, of the
leading packers were losing money
on every head of cattlu slaiightoied.
It was not possible to advunce the
prices of beef In full proportion to hn
great advance In the prices of cattle
at that time "
After all that has boon written re
flecting upon the great business In
terest engaged in the marketing and
distribution of the product of one ot
the greatest of our national Indus
tries, it Is grutifyliiK to all fair minded
people that the prejudiced atliu k.4
upon It havo failed of verification;
and the great western packers may he
congratulated for having parsed
through such a searching and thor
ough official Investigation unsinlrchnd.
The results of this investigation,
b icd as it Is upon exhaustive data,
officially obtained and vcrltlcd by
I'nlted States government experts,
muct be accepted without hesitation,
is the investigation was made under
rlrcutiistances that guaranteed com
plete accuracy with a possible dispo
sition Indeed, to arrive at entirely
different results.

A Chicago minister asserts that
sometimes the most common Mat
