DIFFERENT KINDS OF PRAYER
Is the Church Entirely Eifht in Its
Methods-Doetor and Preacher
in the "Junto Club."
The members of the Junto Club all
present met on the regular evening and
opened In due and ancient informality.
It was proposed to change the night of
meeting, but the minister objected on the
ground that It would conflict with prayer
meeting, and In that case he would bo
compelled to give up his membership in
the Junto, although he would do so very
reluctantly. We did not further discuss
the proposed change, for we were united
In the opinion that we could not find any
one to take the reverend member's place
or.d fill It so well, even if we so deoiied
But though we gave up the thought ot
changing the evening of meeting, yet we
enjoyed a pleasant controversy that en
sued between the minister and the doctor
in regaid to prayer meetings.
Doctor You might give up the prayer
meeting it Is of very little consequence
any way, la it not7
Minister No, I couldn't do that; for
even if I could give It up so far as my
own needs are concerned, still I would be
obliged to conduct It for the benefit of
my congregation.
"How many attend your meetings?
"About a dozen."
"They wouldn't altend if you did not
urge and scold them, would they?"
"Perhaps not. A few would, but there
would be very few of the dozen left if I
didn't get after them about every other
Sunday morning."
"I think they are sensible in not going.
I can't see the use of the prayer meeting
as it Is conducted. I used to attend
when I was a boy, but I don't now, and
I can't see what would be gained by at
tending."
"You would probably pray more If you
attended regularly and took an active
part."
"Are we heard for our much praying?'
No, but If your praying more is ac
companied by more earnestness your
prayer would be more likely to be an
swered."
"I have prayed as many as a dozen
times today, and didn't have to (TO into
a church to do it either."
"But if you do your praying in a meet
ing you will help others as well as your
self. Others will hear your prayer and
follow you In your thought, and they
themselves tnught how to pray."
"But I didn't suppose that was the ob
ject of prayer. I never pray In order to
glvo instruction, but rather to secure a
special dispensation of divine favor."
"That is true, and yet one can accom
plish both ends by praying aloud."
"I think not, for when I pray In a
meeting my object is to make a prayer
that sounds well and will give my hear
ers a good opinion of me. I really pray
to be heard of men."
"Public prayer has been the means of
converting many a man."
"That may be true, but still I protest
that you mistake the object of prayer.
We were not told In Holy Writ to pray
In order to Instruct or convert, but to ask
for what we desired. I've heard minis
ters preach God a sermon In their pray
ers. They pray for the same things two
or three times a week for years, just as
though the Almighty did not hear the
last prayer and answer It."
"But a minister could do very little
praying unless he did sometimes repeat
himself."
"That is all right, but there are some
things that to repeat three times a week
seems next to blasphemy. Take, for in
stance, the expression, 'Care for us
throughout all time,' repeated so often by
our pastors. If God is going to grant
the petition will he not do so with one
asking instead of a hundred?"
- naying sucn tilings every Bumlay is a
matter of habit with us ministers."
"That is Just what I say, and a me.
chanlcal prayer Is worse than no prayer
at all. Homo ministers commit their
prayers to memory, and imagine, per
haps, that a phonograph could not do as
well."
"iou say you have prayed a dozen
'Imes today; were not your prayers me
chanical?
"Nq, sir, they were not. Whenever I
'eel a need of anything I pray for It, and
whenever I feel thankful I praise God In
my heart without waiting for Sunday tc
come. I haven t any use for a God that
Istens only at stated times. Perhaps 1
will not feel like praying when the spe
cial tir:e como.i. 1 heard a minister lead
In prayer once at a Fourth of July pic
nic where they had liquor on sale, gam-
gltd, chased greased pigs and all tho
ort of thing, and In opening his prayer
ho began as he always did In church:
u ioiu, we tnanK Thee that we are
lermltted to gather here this morning to
worship Thee. That was simply a mis.
lake, not a prayer. I've heard ministers
spend several minutes telling the Al
nighty how bad they and their congre
gation had been, when that same Al-
nlghty knew more about It than they
did."
"Are you really a religious man?"
I claim to be. I find happiness in
what Is to me religion, and I think others
vould find more happiness if they would
be humble, unassuming and sincere In
all that pertains to their splrltuul wel
fare. I believe that the churches have
een the makers of our civilization, but J
im sure, too. that they are still lacking
in many respects when It comes to min
istering to the wants of the Individual
May God prosper the church and bless
you rjilnlsters, but I hope tho time may
soon come when the sham of formality
i ml the bonds of conservatism will be
thrown off and we may all be true fol
lowers of the Nazarene." Jl'NTO.

A. O. U. W. STATISTICS.
Interesting Figures From the Annual
Report of Seaside Lodge.
At tho annual meeting of Seaside Lodge,
A. O. U. W. held Saturday, the following,
from the reports, will be of general in
terest: Seaside Lodge, A. O. U. W., of Astoria,
Ore., was organized March 1, 1ST!), f-lnce
which time she has taken in 700 mem
bers up to date, November 23. 1895. This
membership covers a total time of 3,i50
years, or a ayerage of Wi years for each
of the 700 members. Eighty-seven of
these members were fishermen, .and Gl"
were not. Four fishermen have died (2
only by drowning, or by reason of their
occupation), and 29 others have died. The
death rate for the fishermen has hreta
foro been a small fraction over 8 1-3 (ac
curately 8.831 per 1.000): the death rate
per year for the others has been exactly
8 3-5 per 1,000.

Of the Smith-Lleb Company, Talk's
Astoria's Orchestra.
of
Just before taking the boat to Portland
last evening Mr. Carl Smith of the Smith
Lleb Diamatic Co., said to an Astorlan
Representative:
"This Is the liveliest and most prosper
ous looking little town I have seen In all
my travels, and from what I can learn
you have a great future before you. You
have a nice little opera house, under Prof.
Beggs' management, who seems to be do
ing everything that mortal can to provide
good amusement for the public. What
surprises me most, however, is the re
markably line music which he has given
you in the little orchestra which played
for our engagement. The drama and mu
sic go hand in hand, and good music, or
the lack ot it, often makes or mars a
drama.
"Your little orchestra Is excellent, the
best I have ever heard for Its size, but
I consider Its leader, Prof. Navoni, a
genius. He Is not only a remarkab'y good
musician, but he has an acute apprecia
tion of dramatic situations and his sup
port Is therefore ten times more effective
than that of a mechanical player, how
ever correct he may be. 1 have traveled
all over the United States, with some ot
the best companies, and I have never seen
a dramatic musical leader wUh the sou'
that Navoni has In his work. I don't
believe that you Astoiiuns, w'tji nil due
respect to your Judgment, begin to real
ize what be is or to appreciate him. I
cannot understand how it is that a man
with his ability should become a flxtu-e
in a small town like this when he might
He earning big wages in some lnrpe city.
I never met or heard Prof. Navoni before,
and am only speaking of bis work as it
strikes me."

A COMMUNICATION.
Editor Astorlan Dcpr hlr: Your re
marks in this morning's issue concerning
rival auctioneers is not correct, and Is
doing us nn Injustice. We have no rivals
In this city; in fact very few on the coast.
S. Friedman does not need any bell ring
ing to draw-a crowd. Once be opens his
mouth to talk the audlcce stays with
him until his sale Is over. We some
times ring the bell from two to five min
utes In front of our door only. It is
hose that go begging to the city council
for a donation of a license that make a
nuisance of themselves by ringing a bell
all the evening all over town, and makes
It a practice of ringing and yelling In
front of our door, that you probably
heard. For our part, we would ratber
have the bell ringing declared a nuisance,
which it is to us.
