Analysis of the Lord’s Prayer. R'jV. H. S. Bradley, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, began a series of ser mons on the Lord's Prayer yesterday morning. A large, congregation heard the fist sermon of the series, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. While mak ng preparation for this series of sermons, which will continue for six or seven weeks. Mr. Bradley pepared bis general outline in the form of a prose poem, which The Constitution produces this morning in full on account of its beauty of thought and diction: A MORNING PRAYER. OUR FATHER- I cannot tell how I came to be so, tut I am spirit; I' am Thy child; but. Father, I am flesh, too. My body wraps in" round in a close and almost dead ly embrace. My better self, my spirit. Thy child, speaks to Thee now. I would bring that which is highest, truest, purest, noblest and most Godlike in me to the supreme point for the moment, that it may come into sympathetic touch with the all-good, the all-wise, the ail-powerful, tha al together-lovely, and 1 may feel the vital touch. My Father, we commune alone. And yet we are not alone! Humanity, my brothers, are with us; Father, I cannot find Thee without finding them. Our Father, I cannot come into Thy presence with a selfish word upon my lips. OCR FATHER IN HEAVEN— Th >u art not in those tall heavens, beyond stars and stardust and spaces still and cold, but in that spiritual realm apart from dirt and brute. Father of my spirit, in that pure heaven where spirit lives and loves and works unhin dered by the flesh—a heaven sweet but close at hand—to 1 bee 1 turn my thought; to Thee I open my heart; with Thee I commune. HALLOWED BE THY NAME— Forbid that I should think of Thee save as the holy, the sacred, the price less, the prize of life. I would exalt that wnich is worthy, otherwise, in ex alting that which is low I abase myself. I would hold sacred my Fathers name, that my own spirit may share the reverence. 1 would grow like 1 hoe and regard myself. Thy child, as too sacred far sin. Thou art imitable. Let me be perfect even as Thou. THY KINGDOM COME- May the spirit realm be extended till it shall embrace me, my fellows and the w< rid. In thy realm there are no sins, no mistakes, no pains, no sorrows no heartaches, no strifes, no death. Lot the spiritual control the carnal, as in a perfect kingdom the king rules his subjects in love. Then heaven will be on earth. I wish to bring this to pass in my own life and in the lives of all men everywhere, and shall so work. THY WIL.L BE DONE— Thou wiliest not the death of any. but that all may have, life, the spirit life, the ageless life. May I not fail to keep the human on the plane of the spiritual, lest the human fail back to the planes of the brutal and l.ke the brutes, die. 1 would do Thy will for self and others and so attain my larger desire, that Thy Kindom Come. GIVE US DAY BY DAY OUR BREAD— Feed not the body alone, but supply our spirits with the Bread of Lite. Sustain our fainting souls day by day with Thyself. Thou art Spirit, Thou art Truth, ’thou art Light, Thou are Love. Day by day may we draw on Thee for sustenance and increase. FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS. FOR 'A 17 HAVE FORGIVEN OUR DEBTORS— Deep within our souis. Father, wo find a sense of spotless justice, and «" cannot ask a favor that we. ourselves, would not grant. We come wnn no ill will to our neighbor. He has never harmed us as we have harmed 1 her. for he can harm us only as wc give him power. Hut even for wrongs done, us. which in Thy pure presence seem small, we bear no hate So. we come to Thee against whom we have so o’ten sinned and say with teais Foigive. Forgive. LEAD I S NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER FROM EVIL- Father. I dread the trial through which I must pass to perfect Ute. I shrink from the test. I would escape the contest witli evil. If 1 could I would overcome without it. And yet I know that oftener 1 advance most surely when the way is rough. I want not merely innocence, but virtue. I would be delivered from the dominion of the senses, from the evil of the flesh. 1 would triumph, and if temptation is necessary—tremblingly I say it—let it come. I would have the gold of character free from dross, hot my will, but Thine—nevertheless, give the furnace. Nevertheless. Father, not inv will hut Thine--nevertheless give me the gold pure. Amen.

Barrenness exists in almost every case because female diseases have paralyzed the organs of womanhood, or have so drained the woman’s life that she has no vitality to give another. No medicine can cure organic barrenness, but very few women are naturally barren. Nature intends that every woman shall bear children, and Wine of Cardui, Nature’s remedy for weak women, imparts health and strength to the diseased parts and makes motherhood possible in thousands of cases where barren ness is supposed to be incurable. Wine of Cardui has brought health to 1,500,000 women suffer ing from every kind of female trouble. The Wine regulates the menstrual flow, which is the foundation of every woman’s health. Barrenness usually yields quickly after this important function is regulated. Wine of Cardui also prevents miscarriage and cures bearing-down pains. In any event Wine of Cardui removes the cause of barrenness by making the female organism strong and healthy. The letters from these grateful women printed to-day are the best evidence that anyone could give. Go to your druggist and secure a SI.OO bottle of Wine of Cardui. The use of Wine of Cardui will bring happiness to your home.

On This Question Hangs Fate of the Fair Millions. New York, April 7.—Evidence was given today by a witness who said he saw the automobile accident near Paris, France, last August, which resulted in the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fair, before a referee in a suit instituted by Mrs. Fair’s mother. Anna Nelson, and other rela tives, to recover from Mrs. Theresa Alice Oelrichs and Mrs. Virginia Vanderbilt, sisters of Mr. Fair, a large portion of the Fair estate. It Is contended that Mrs. Fair lived af ter her husband. The suit is expected to determine also whether an agreement to settle the estate by the payment of $250,000 shall be cancelled. Lucien Mass, of Paris, testified that he witnessed the fatal accident and that when he reached the scene Mr. Fair was "absolutely lifeless," but that Mrs. Fair was breathing. He noticed a nervous contraction of her face and hands. Asked why ho had left, the scene of the accident before any one else arrived, he replied: "Because I did not wish to compromise myself. I wished to give succor, but found 1 could not. My course could have been traced." When questioned as to some of h's sub sequent movements, Mass refused to an swer on the ground that It would tend to degrade him. The Fair estate is estimated to be worth about $10,000,000. If it can be proved that Mrs. Fair outlived her husband this sum wifi go to her relatives, who are poor. Immediately after the tragedy the sis ters of Fair induced the relatives to ac cept a small sum in settlement of all claims against the estate. Trying to Impeach Mas. New York, April S. The hearing on the will of the late ‘Phrales I. Fair, who was killed in an automobile accident in France last August, was resumed t<>• I i-.. Mrs. Hannah Nelson, of New Market, N J., mother °f Mrs. Fair, seeks to show that Mr. Fair died before his wife. Lucien Mas. the Frnechman. was on the stand about an interview lie had had with M Picard, a French secret agent, regarding the accident. Mas said he had refused to tell Picard who was with him and where ho had been when he witness ed the accident because Mas and his friend. Moranne. had been to Deauville with women and did not want their wives to know about it. When counsel for Mrs. Nelson objected to the cross-examination as to wlint time Mas boarded a train after witnessing the accident, opposing counsel said it was most important, ns it shows that Mas was not at the place at nil. The hearing was adjourned to a date to be fixed at a conference to bo held be tween the attorneys and the referee to morrow. A Notre Dame Lady.

Rural Free Delivery. i Southern Farm Magazine; If one were called upon to name the most popular in- i novation in governmental service during tile two past decades looking to the great est good to the greatest number and in creasing the intelligence of its citizenshiix such a one would unhesitatingly name the establishment of the rural free delivery system. It is probably the most satisfac i tory service for the great mass of country people that has ever been undertaken by the government. It gives them many of the conveniences of a city life without the extra cost of living. It saves much waste of time in going to and from the post office. It encourages the habit of letter | writing and increases at a manifold ratio the circulation of newspapers and maga zines.
