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.

CARDUI
BABIES
Many homes are mere lonely abodes because no children
are there. 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.

GOES TO SITKA TO MARRY.
Girl Goes To Wed Man She Has I
Never Seen.
Valdosta. Go , April I'\ (Special.) - -Nine j
thousand mißs t<» marry a man whom i
she has nov< r scon was the journey a !
>"ung woman of this county started on
tliis week.
The young lady was Miss Julia Rose, |
i who has b»cn an inmate of the home of
J. I). Bamberg, at Naylor, for two or
I throe years.
Her journey a- ross the continent will
! take her to Sitka, Alaska, where she ex
' peels to meet and wed a man named
i Thompson.
The couple were brought together
■ through an advertisement vvhiclt Miss
: Rose read in a matrimonial paper seven |
I or eight months ago. A correspondence
resulted, which has continued and eul
' minated in the engagement of the couple
| and the determination of the young lady
to take the long journey to the bleak
northwest in order to marry the man
of her choice!
Thompson's photograph shows him to
be a man of good appearance, and he
stated in his letters that lie was prepared
• to take care of and support a wife. He
is a native of Sweden and is engaged
in a fishery business at Sitka.
Owing to the long distance - to he
traversed each way, if he came to Geor
gia to marry, Thompson proposed to his
| sweetheart that she go to him, and
sent her money with which to pay the
expenses of the trip. She bought a ticket
to Seattle, Wash., where she wifi take
a boat for Sitka. It will take her ten
or twelve days to make the trip.
DID WIFE OUTLIVE HUSBAND?
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 MILLION HAPPY AMERICAN CHILDREN are kept healthy with CASCARETS Candy
Cathartic. Good words spoken by their mamas for CASCARETS to other mamas have made
CASCARETS successful until the sale now is nearly A MILLION BOXES A MONTH. Why do
little folks like CASCARETS ? Because they are a sweet, palatable, fragrant little tablet—
taste good—do good—never grip nor gripe, but act gently, naturally, positively. Medicine that
a child dislikes will not do it much good. Sensible parents give their little darlings medicine
that tastes good and does good, and does not grip nor gripe; the kind they like themselves.
Children are always ready to take CASCARETS, THE PERFECT HOME MEDICINE, ask for
them and are kept healthy always and safe against the dangers of childhood's ailments.

you wifi find.
That you're not so much valued by what
you may say,
As by what you mny do in a practical
way;
For unless you perform what you saj’
you can do.
Grave doubts wifi arise that you're hon
est and true.
Though your voice be as .sweet as the
•song of the birds.
Remember that actions spear louder than
words.
Nor would 1 discourage the message that
cheers.
Or the prayers, or the blessings of sym
pathy s tears;
They are always in order, they help in
their way
To hasten the dawn of millennial
day.
But a little more gold sandwiched in
with your prayers
Would banish more tears and lighten
more cares.
Though your voice be as sweet as the
song of the birds.
Remember that actions speak louder I
than words.

such a one would unhesitatingly name the
establishment of the rural free delivery
system. It is probably the most satisfac

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 |
