The government has revealed the charge in the case of United States Soaator Borab, at Boise, Idaho, charg ed with timber land fraud. The jury was completed at the Tuesday morning session and daring the afternoon Judge M. C. Burch of Detroit, Mich., special assistant to the attorney genet al, made the opening statement for the prosecu tion. Judge Burch arraigned the late Gov.

All or the deeds went through Sena tor Borah's office and stand in the county clerk's office as being recorded at his request. It is claimed Senator Borab approached the register of the laud oflloe with regard to several claims whioh were held up aud was warned by that official that the claims were fraudulent and should be let alono.

I llfcll ,lu0 ''Mil' Ml' THE PRAYERS. Acts 2:42. , This item completes tbe program of pubilo worship as observed by tbe first Christians. "Prayer is the direct communication of the spirit of man with tbe spiritual and unseen Creator," so that by this exercise their intimaoy with God is determined. We shall now briefly note their prayer-life as recorded in the book of Acts. I. They prayed before great events, 1:14. Some conditions calling for prayer at this time. (1) Loneliness. Jesus had just left them (1:11) never to return before tbe end of tbe world, so we may expect them to spend these ten days that intervened between His ascension and tbe day of Pentecost in just suoh a manner (2.) The Holy Spirit was to be given and the Churoh to be founded. It was Jesus' custom to pray before great events. He prayed before choosing tbe Twelve, before preaobing the Sermon on tbe Mount, before Peter's great confession of Christ etc. They bad this habit of His in mind. On this memorable Pen tecost, they were to lay down laws by which the world should be saved (John 20:23; Acts 2:38) and what a tremen dous responsibility ! (3) They were all of one aooord. That is, they had tbe work at heart as one man and believed that they would sucoeed. Not one of them said, "I don't believe that we can make this thing go." (4) They ohose helpers by prayer, 1:23, 24; 6:6; 13:3. How many churches select ministers, officers and teaohers that way? Is it not by outward appearanoe ratber'than by prayer? II. They had a time and place for prayer. ( 1 ) Three times a day, 8:1, see also Ps. 55:17; Dan. 6:10. This was tbe custom among the Jews and it seems that the first Christians observ ed it. Their regular hours were at 9 a. m., 12 m. and 3 p.m. (2) A place for prayer. The Temple, 3:1. Tbe house top, 10 :9. Peter was up there at noon. He bad a full view of heaven where God was to whom he prayed, and of the oity and country for which he prayed. What a setting 1 God a mighty aid and before him a needy world 1 The riverside, 16:13. This habit of finding a place for prayer they had learned of Jesus, Matt 6 :6. There is, then, a time and place for prayer. That is why every true Chris tian ought to be at the Lord's house for prayer on the Lord s day aud at tbe mid-week prayermeeting. HI. They were living and dying in prayer. ( 1 ) Steadfastly in prayer and ministry of the Word, 6:4. Tbe King dom of Christ is advanced by these two means Prayer and preaohing tbe Word. We must prophesy or speak the Word upon tbe dry bones around us and then pray for life from God to enter into them. (2) They parted in waver. 20:36: 21:5. Here are two most touohing soenes and no one can read the account without being deeply moved. (3) Thoy died praying, 7:59, 60. Stephen did not care how they used his body just so the spirit was safe. We worry, about the. body and spend our whole time in making a soft plaoe for it, while tbe spirit is in pain. IV. Power of their prayer, (l) un tbe preaobers, 2:1-41. Peter was the only preacher on the day of Pentecost, but tack of him were tbe prayers oi one hundred and nineteen earnest Christians and in him was the Spirit of God. No wonder he could preach and have suoh wonderful results. (2) On the dead, 9:40. Today there are many who used to be aotive workers in tbe church but are now dead spirit ually. To resurrect them, we must use the same means Peter used ou this occasion. First, pray for them ; sec ond, speak to them of their lost condi tion ; third, give them a helping band. (3) On the sick. 28:8, see Jas. 5:14, 15. In praying for health we must not forget that the Apostolic age was an age of special miracles, and things were done then that are not done now. The instruction of James was written in that age and for that people. It seems that tbe apostles and others who had the miraoulous "gift of healing" were led by the Holy Spirit in using this gift, and that they did not use it on anybody and everybody. That would have been to abolish death in the Churoh. They knew when they could expeot an answer to this prayer, otherwise Paul would not have left Trophimus sick at Miletus, 2 Tim. 4: 20. However, I believe that we have the privilege to pray for recovery, but submitting the oase to the divine will. yet at the same time believe that it can and will be done for us. (4) On shaokles and prison doors, 12:5; 16:25. They did notjdo like perhaps we would have done, get np a committee of rep resentative men like Nioodemus, Joseph of Arimatbea and Gamaliel who wonld go to Herod and have Peter pardoned out. They did not look to men but to God. Mary, Queen of Sootts, said: "I fear the prayers of John Knox more than I do an army of ten thousand men." In these four studies of their pro gram of publio worship tbe Apostles' teaching, the fellowship, the breaking of bread and the prayers we have bad a glimpse of that simple yet powerful life of the early Christians. It all de pended on their adherence to the di vine program in doctrine and life. "ihe multitude of them that believ ed were of one heart and soul," 4:33. The c&urches of this community can. if they will, lay down the imaginary differ euces that now separate us and thus ieproduoe that beautiful life of the first church. Jesus prayed to Bis Father that it may be so, "that tbe world may believe that thou didst send eoplesWareliioiise 2lst Anniversary Sale Peendleton's Biggest Store celebrates its majority in coming fashion, offering to its patrons real bar gains of merit in all kinds of high grade Fall Merchandise. be- A Great Store With Greater Stocks and Greater Values Lay in your winter supply of Merchandise during the 21st Anniversary Sale, ing the month of September.
