THE TIME TOR PRAYER-
When we begin to discuss the
time for prayer, the words of Holy
Writ come to mind ; “Pray without
ceasing,” so there is no limit to the
time—any time—in fact, prayer is
restricted to time. When time shall
be no more there will bo no need of
prayer. “Pray without ceasing”
cannot mean all the time, because
we are commanded to do many
other things besides pray. God does
not require that we be all the time
upon our knees in prayer; but ho
does require that we maintain at ail
times a prayerful spirit, that we do
nothing, at any time, upon which we
cannot ask the blessing of God.
“Pray without ceasing” may im
ply, “Neglect not the habit—the
custom of praying, the stated times
of prayer.” The time to pray is the
time we feel most the need of prayer.
There are circumstances which make
prayer at one time more needful
than at other times.
“Give us this day our daily bread”
implies a daily prayer. The hou r
for daily prayer may bo regulated
according to circumstances; either
morning or night, or both. Daniel
prayed three times a day. Who can
say that as a custom, it was too
often ? or that any one who made
that a rule should not have blessings
accordingly.
The best time for prayer is when
we can best pray; when the mind
may be less engaged with .'Other
things, and clear of worldly matters.
.Morning prayers are best for sev
eral reasons. In the first place, it is
best to begin the day with prayer ;Jit
is best to give to God the first of the
day, as the last may not be ours to
give. We stand in the morning at
the entrance of the day ; what it may
bring forth no one can tell. What
that day s trials may be, what its
temptations, what its end, no mortal
can know. What its privileges,
what its opportunities; all is dark to
mortal vision. Morning prayers fit
us for all that conics; prepare for it
by first asking God to direct us.
Morning prayers have the benefit of
freshness of mind and body. At
night this is not the case, but often
tired, sleepy, worn in body and
mind we are scarcely in frame to
pray acceptably. Give God the best
of every thing. Vigor of mind and
intellect, freshness of bodily strength
the inspiration of soul, the conscious
ness of duty, the impulse of adora
tion.
I remember to have read some
where, an article headed : “Pillow
prayers.” The prayer that David
speaks of “in the night watches.”
It told of the comfort and eonsola.
tion to be found in the still hours of
night, when all nature is at rest and
the soul, undisturbed by outside in
fluences communes with God.
A morning prayer may be a pil
low prayer. Before rising in the
mornmg.it is well to give to God
the first waking thought. It is not
necessary that there should be a long
prayer. The prayer of the publican
was short, yet it was suflicient to
express his {need.
The custom of the morning pillow
prayer is conducive to the spiritu.J
development in that it leads,instead of
follow ing, the other duties of the dev
Temporal affairs crowd upon the
time and attention and spiritual du
ties are often set aside for “a more
convenient season " which mav never
come. With the shortest, simplest
prayer of faith, the sweet assurance
comes to all, “Thu Spirit helpcth
our infirmities.” How true, “Wo
know not what to pray for as we
ought” but the time that is ours we
can give a portion of, for “to-day is
i the day of salvation.” To-day is
the time to pray.

THE NATURE OF THE SOCIETY.
At the session of the northern anni.
versaries at Denver the report of the
work of the American Baptist Pub
lication Society closed with a state
ment of facts about the nature of
the Society, which we deem proper
to give our readers.
“All the property of the Society, of
every kind whatsoever, belongs
solely to the Baptist denomination of
America, and is held by the corpo
rate Society exclusively for the ser
vice of Baptists in the work of pub
lication, colportage, Sunday-school
missions, and tract and Bible distri
bution, but never for the profit of
any body of men or individuals. No
one has ever received a dividend or
in any way shared in the profits.
'There are not now, nor have there
ever been, any stock-holders.
If the work of this Society was to
be economically managed, it must
have a suitable building. This was
given, and its cost paid by a few
large givers, and for this purpose
only. Its book stock was fur
nished largely by one man. Its ma
chinery was bought from the pro
ceeds of business sales or of special
gifts for that need as it arose. Not a
dollar of these furnishings came
from the contributions from any
source for mission, colporteur, tract*
Bible or Sunday-school work. In
the same way the capital for stock
ing the branch houses was furnished'
( Notonly does this Publishing De.
partment and business sustain itself
but it is the largest single contribu
tor, in recent years, to the missionry,
the Bible, the tract, and the colpor
teur work. It has furnished quar
ters, salaries, office expenses and
local needs at the rooms, to the
Missionary and the Bible Depart
ments, without charge to the con
tributions of the churches, schools or
friends and supporters of the benev
olent. This saving has been great
and vital. Without it, the work
would have been much less, and
often languishing. Sometimes we
must have dismissed our men, di
minished our grants, cut off our sup
plies, and lessened our labors when
importunate calls were everywhere.
This Society was formed with the
primary motive of doing tract, col
porteur, Bible, Sunday-school and
similar work. Its existvnee is, in
this day and land, a necessity. Its
property is acquired because such
provisions are essentjal part ojl
such a work, and saves outlays
otherwise disabling, if not destruct
ive, and these pleas for denial of as
sistance because God has, through
liberal Christians, provided some fa
cilities for effective labors, and for
relief of the struggling or sinning
surely is from lack of thought or of
know ledge.
It asks, needs and deserves the
approbation, advocacy and liberal
aid of every Baptist. Its best vindi
cation is the riches of the blessings
of God and of soul harvests.
THE MISSIONARY UNION.
President Augustus 11. Strong’s
address before the Union at its late
meeting in Denver was pleasing as
well as edifying, lie said a hun
dred years ago we were “a feeble
folk,” missions have been our salva
tion. He thought that while the
Union had accomplished more abroad
than any other evangelical missiona
ry society of this country, their
growth at home had been more rapid.
He spoke of the success of the Cen
tennial movement, but thought some
thing should be looked to that is
more solid than money, and nioic
permanent than popular enthusiasm.
He thought we need to recognize the
truth that the purpose of God to give
the world to Christ is the great en
couragement of missions.
There is such a thing as God’s
plan. At times we are inclined to
forget this. At other times we rea
lize that God’s decree is the only
abiding fact in the universe. Hu
man history is Christ's execution of
the divine decrees though he does it
unconsciously to us. If this is true
in creation and in providence, far
more true is it in redemption. This
line of thought suggests the great en
| courageinent to ( hristian work. In
j conclusion he stressed the truth that
the church, by its continued activity
! in missionary work, is to make the
divine decree an actuality in histo
ry.
Ihe report of the Secretary pre
sented the fact that in the Centennial
work the past was not so much dwelt
upon. Actual present-day needs,
and immediate claims of mission
work were pressed upon the atten-
I tion and consuieuoM of the churches.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX THURSDAY JUNE 15. 1893.
With these things in view the year
was made one of universal prayer,
study, and gathering of offerings.
The result was the saints were lifted
into a higher region of thought, love
and conduct. About sixty new work
ers have been recruited for the work
abroad.
The report says : “In financial re
sults the Union reports for the year
total receipts from all sources of
1865,751,85. The donations from
the churches alone, including the
women’s societies, amount to $757,-
305,81, as compared with $396,914,-
49 last year, showing a gain of $360,-
389, 69 from these important sources.
Although falling a little short of the
million dollars, which it was propos
ed to raise, yet the achievement
reached has been so signal, that if we
can be assured that there will be no
serious reaction, but on the other
hand our churches will maintain
such an increased rate of giving as
that we shall be afforded a gradual
ly increasing income, xve shall have
every reason to congratulate our
selves on the historic campaign just
completed. The chief aim of the
year’s work has been, not to raise
the maximum amount of money, but
such an amount of money as could
be secured, consistently with a per
manent missionary uplift of our peo
ple.
In addition to the above receipts,
the Missionary Union has received
$37,950 in conditional trust funds,
from the interest on which certain
annuities are paid, and therefore not
available for the work of the Union
during the lifetime of the donors;
and the women’s societies have recei
ved, besides, $74,139,51 available for
their work, making a grand total of
receipts, from all sources, during the
centenary year, of $977,841,46.
The report made a very remarka
ble showing in its resume of the
year's work. As the tables stand
the growth of the missions over the
preceding year is recorded at 37
missionaries, 4<i native preachers, 72
churches, 5,848 church members, 7,-
497 scholars in the Sunday-schools,
2,404 pupils in boarding and day
schools, and $60,910,13 in contribu
tions from the mission churches.
WHAT THEY SAID-
The editor of the Watchman, in a
quasi apology for giving a deal of
his space to the proceedings of the
Anniversaries of our Northern breth
ren, said i Baptist churches are less
closely Hound together by formal
ties thaiK those of any other denomi
nation. \)Ve make much of tlvs inde
pendency bf the local church. (.Some
times it seems as if our system pre
cluded effective combination for the
great objects, in which every church
is interested, but for which no church
by itself is competent.

Dr. Lorimer said that he believed
thoroughly m the religious training
of young people, but no sermon
should be preached without a doc
trine in it. It is a preacher's business
to indoctrinate his people. There is
danger of spoiling the church prayer
meetings by running them all on the
('hristian Endeavor plan. Let the
young people have their meeting
with one hundred experiences in
fifty minutes if they want it, but
leave a place for the man or woman
whom the Lord had led for sixty
years. Old people should not be
“shelved” amid all the special efforts
for young people.

Rev. Rollings, I). D., of Omaha,
said : The Holy Spirit, the Holy
Book ami the people who accept
them, are the three agencies in build
ing up the Kingdom of God. The
place of the Bible is, therefore, one
of supreme importance. The Bible
should have a more prominent place
in the home and in the church. It
is safe to put it into the hands of all
people. Lesson Helps, however ex
cellent, cannot safely supercede the
Bible. God works in fellowship
with his Word, and wherever the
Scriptures go we may expect the
power of the Spirit to bo.

Rev. Milton F. Negus, of Minnea
polis, said: The grave problem that
confronts us for solutionis: How
shall we keep pace with the mighty
tide of increasing population? The
hour demands an earnest body of
consecrated laymen who will go from
house to house, give the Bible to the
destitute, talk to the people about
Christ, and pray with the penitent.
If we could send into the field to
day 590 men out of the 3,009,000
aid more of Baptists in the United
Stales, to go to the remote parts of
the country, hold Gospel meetings,
plant Sunday-schools and organize
Btptist churches, within five years
we should see a Baptist church in
nearly every county of the West.
Rev. W. M. Lawrence, D. D., of
Chicago, thought the great trouble
W’ith the West was the bureau drawer
letter system. The family or the
individual comes West with their
church letter, but it is relegated to
the bureau drawer, with the result
that their positive force as outspoken
Christians is lost to the cause of
Christ.
*
Rev. W. R. L.*Smith,D.D., of St.
Louis, gave the first address on “The
Pastor’s Relation to the Doctrinal
Education of the Young in Baptist
Churches.” He said in substance,
that the mission of the pastor is to
feed the young with spiritual food.
In some of the schools and universi
ties the tendency was towards infi
delity, and some of their educators
did not fear to openly aver their in
fidelity. The two great enemies of
the faith are Sadduceeism and Phari
seeism, and the only way to combat
these was to preach the doctrines of
Christ. Sunday-schools, Young
People’s Unions, if superintended by
the pastors, are full of promise.
There is no more trustworthy basis
for sound doctrinal instruction than
is found in the. works issued by the
Publication Society.

Society asks for $700,000 annually
for a series of years, in order to put
a colporteur in every district associa
tion in this country. The sum would
barely give SSOO for the salary and
expenses for each man, as there are
1,458 Baptist associations in th e
United States.
AN ADVANCE MOVEMENT.
The Baptist denomination of this
country never enjoyed a finer oppor
tunity for making an andvauce move
ment than right now. It has a great
lover of power in the printing press
and the simple word of God. Thou
sands of Bibles and Testaments must
be given away if we would win the
un-Christian masses to Christ. The
only source of supply to the Baptist
denominatian is the American Bap.
gist Publication Society, and the
tource of strength to the Society is
the contributions of the denomination
of the country.

ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS.
What did Jesus mean when he
promised that the meek should in
herit the earth ? m. l. h.
This is one of the “beatitudes” of
the sermon on the mount. (Matt.
5: 5). The reference bible refers to
Psi. 37: 11 and Rom. 4: 13. The
latter passage contemplates the uni
versal sovereignty of the Messiah,
though there is no express promise
recorded in the Old Testament that
Abraham should be the “heir of the
world.” But it was promised that
in him all nations should be blessed.
(Gen. 12: 3; 18: 18; Rom. 4:11;
Gal. 3:29; 3: 16). The promise
will be verified, figuratively and ex
plicitly, in the final triumph of our
Lord over all the earth—in the uni
versal dominion of Christianity. But
we do not think Jesus meant this, as
M. L. IL supposes. We are very
much obliged to our friend for her
personal exhortation and expressed
sympathy in our recent severe trial,
and we hasten to assure her that we
have earnestly sought to “maintain
the spirit of meekness.” But what
did Jesus mean by the “meek ?” It
is a word not easy to define. It is
found in two other places—Matt.
21: 5 and 1 Pet. 3: 4. It is a slight
ly different word in Matt. 11: 29.
Certainly our Lord did not inculcate
a spirit of craven cowardice in the
face of mean wrong and oppression.
He was not “meek” in any such
sense, nor would he have his disciples
be. "Webster defines thus: Mild of
temper ; not easily provoked or irri
tated ; given to forbearance under
injuries ; soft; gentle ; yielding.” He
adduces (Num. 12 : 3) Moses as ex
ample. He gives a second sense as
specifically seen in Matt. 5 : s—“sub
missive to the divine will; patient
and gentle from moral and religious
motives ” The Greek Aristotle used
the word as descriptive of one xvho
has the passion of resentment under
control, and whois therefore tranquil
and untroubled. Our Lord would
teach us that “the influence of the
meek and self-controlled is in the
long-run greater than that of the
impulsive and passionate. Their se
verity helps them to find the maxi,
mum of life.” So Dr. Plumptre.
Dr. Broadus says: “Our Lord de
clares that not the ambitious and
arrogant, the irascible and violent
such as usually become prominent in
the outbreak of revolutions, are the
happy under the Messiah’s reign, but
the meek.” He says the word means
among bther excellent things “gen
tleness and patient endurance of
injury—where it is proper to endure!”
As to the promise of inheriting the
earth, Dr. Broadus says it mean s
that “the meek shall be full citizen s
in the Messianic kingdom, enjoying
all rights and privileges. This would
ol course mean especially religious
privileges. The explanation that
Christians shall have as much of the
earth as is really desirable for them,
is superficial; and the other, that
Christianity is finally to take posses
sion of the whole earth, is artificial.
The Old Testament and the New
Testament usage seems to leave no
doubt as to the meaning.”
Is it true that Christianity is los
ing its hold on the working people
of our country ? «, h.
In our large cities, it is to be
feared, that there is an increasing
gulf between the churches and the
working classes, that is the masses
of artisans. The causes are many
The large influx of foreigners has
quite materially affected the charac
ter of that class of our population in
the large cities of the North. Very
many of these foreign artisans are
anarchistic and infidel in their ten
dencies, and have never known any
thing of Christianity save as seen in
the corrupt and superstitious and
oppressive state churches of Europe.
They naturully regard all forms of
Christianity as alike unworthy of
their love. It is to be feared, too,
that the wealthy city churches have
not shoxvn any proper desire or
effort to win them to a purer faith.
Still much has been, and is being
done in this direction, and we confi
dently expect to see good fruitage
from these efforts. What a field for
home mission work is here presented!
While we write as we have above,
it can be said that Christianity was
never so firmly grounded in the faith
and lives of the American people at
large as it is to-day. As the result
of the tabulation of the religious sta
tistics of the census of 1890, it
appears that of the 62,000,000 popu
lation of the United States, 20,643,-
000 are members of Christian church
es. When we consider that ot the
total population a very large part
are infants under twelve, this is an

CHAPEL GAR.
During the Northern Anniversaries at
Denver, the new chapel ear •■Emmanuel”
was dedicated. Kev. Kerr B. Tupper,
D. D. delivered the dedicatory address
and stressed the fact that that the car
was not built to carry grain or freight
but to carry the word of God, which un
derlies the best forces of our civilization.
The following description of the car is
given by the Watchman:
“The exterior of the car resembles an
ordinary Pullman or Wagner car, with
the exception that instead of the famil
iar names of the great car-makers being
painted on the sides, are the words
"Chapellcar,” while its name, “Emman
uel,” takes the place of the usual poetic
or descriptive cognomen. Inside the
car is finished in polished oak. Seats
in the shape of church pews occupy
about three-quarters of the entire length.
Those to the right will seat three per
sons. those to the left two. Where the
seats end is a brass stand for the Bible.
The plate on which the Bible rests Is
supported by an eagle. About the cen
tre of the stand is the inscription, “A sis
ter's memorial to Mrs. Henriette Capen,
of Boston, whose entire life was devoted
to the Master.” This stand and a tine
oak organ rest on a movable carpeted
platform. Above it. on a ventilating
window, are the words, “God is Love.”
Adjoining the chapel proper is an apart
ment used as a library.-sleeping and sit
ting-room. It is finished in oak, and the
seats on either side are in reality rocking
chairs. The book-case contains Bibles
in six languages, along-side is a rack con
tainiug twenty different Baptist papers
andalot of the best magazines published
Adjoining the library is the kitchen.
This is furnished with a fine range; a
neat oak cupboard contains the dishes,
etc. Adjoining the kitchen is the lava
tory. equipped with all the modern im
provements.”
DESTROYED BY FIRE AND AGAIN
AT WORK-
The Price Baking Powder Company of
Chicago, which is known throughout the
country for the superior excellence of its
Baking Powder, met with a serious loss
on tlie morning of May 18th, in the near
ly total destruction by fire of its factory
and offices. No sooner had the flames
been subdued than the work of restora
tion commenced, and the company by
prudent foresight, having had stored in
outside warehouses duplicate machinery
labels and supplies of raw materials in
preparation for any emergency was ena
bled by energetic management to resume
manufacturing.within a very few days af
ter the fire, thereby causing its custo
mers but a trifling delay in the tilling of
their orders. Had the company not been
so prepared the delay would have been
very serious since it would have re
quired months of time to get new machin
ery.
It is now forty years since the goods
manufactured by this company were first
placed on the market, to Dr. Price being
due the distinction of having prepared
the first can of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powder eter manufactured in any conn,
try. It was a great discovery, supersed
ing as it did the old method of using
cream of tartar and soda separately, to
say nothing of saleratus. with which the
biscuit of early days was embittered.
The Price Company has no connection
whatever with any other baking powder
company or manufacturer notwithstand;
ing representations to the contrary made
by other manufacturers whose sole aim
is' to deceive the public and borrow the
good name and fame acquired by the
Price Cream Baking Powder, which is
known ail over the world as the purest
and "most perfect made.”
