Seen here with his sister, the Princess of Baria, as he paused for the photographer in the middle of a dance, is the 30-year-old maharajah of Tripura, wealthy Indian potentate, who was visiting a Toronto night club dui-ing- a world tour. After watching some "jitterbugs" in action, the maharajah joined the dance and displayed more than passing knowl- edge of the fox trot and rhumba. The Indian prince rules millions of »ubjeets. Sunday School Lesson PRAYER. FAITH AND SINCERITY OF THE HEART M«rk 9:14-29 Golden Text: "All things «r« possible to him that believeth." â€" Mark 9:23. Lesson Passage: Mark 9:14-29. Run the straight race through God's good grace; Lift up thine eyes, and seek His face. Life with its path before us lies, Christ is the way, and Christ the prize. â€" John S. B. Moiisell. Some Rules of Christ's Teaching 14-16 Much of our conversation is in the form of questions and answers. Questions call forth answers. We may be either surprised that we ^ know the answer or humiliated when we discover that we do not have the answer. The scribes ques- tioned the disciples, but they did not have the answer. When Christ camo down fron, the Mount of Transfiguration he asked the scribes why they were questioning the disciples. Ho was ready to give the answer the disciples could not grive. All through his public min- istry we see his unique pjwer to satisfy seekers and give them big- ger views of truth, duty and God. One of the basic rules of good teaching is always to try to give a satisfactory answer to a ques- tion, if not immediately, a.*! soon as possible. Christian people who have had experience in dealing with religious difficulties should be prepared to answer honestly and effectively the questions that •rise. Christ did not regard his power »• a monopoly. He sought to teach hU disciples to do what he did. He even predicted that they would do greater works than himself. Af- ter the Day of Pentecost this pre- dietio nwas fulfilled, but at the time of this incident the disciple* had not learned the secret. The question is frequently asked. Why have we not Christ's healing pow- er? It is beside the mark to ans- wer that the medical profession carries on the work of the Great Physician. Christ gave a demon- •tration of the power of mind over body which his followers ought to ba able to e.tercise in a greater degree than they now do. Progress U being made through a study of the laws of the mind, the power of faith, reaction to suggestion and the working of the human will. Right livin:;. obedience to the will of God. earnest faith may be ikciI ta the bcnetit of our own he;>lth und in aid to sick ycople. Prajrer Becomes Real When Soul's Desire Expressed. 20-22. Real prayer often begina through trouble. One very expe- rienced observer of religious life states that in the majority of cases prayer is learned through trouble. Often we pray much more earnest- ly facing some acute issue affect- ing ourselves than we do for oth- ers in sorrow or difficulty. .\ very great scholar prayed all night for his boy whose life was hanging in the balance after an operation in a hospital. His prayer was born out of love to his boy and need of help rather than from a reasoned faith in prayer. The father of the epi- leptic boy told Jesus about the suffering of his lad and then with an outburst of tears said: "If Thou canst do anything, have compas- sion on us, and help us." Prayer becomes real when it e.xpresses the soul's sincere desire. Prayer that is an art form, or .hetoric or scrip- ture quotation may be beautiful, but effectual prayer is a matter of sincere and earnest desire. Our real prayer is what in our heart of hearts we are constantly desir- ing. This is what is controlling our action more than the words we say when we say our prayers. .A.nswers to prayer become pos- sible when we free ourselves of self-deception, the attempt to de- ceive others, or to deceive God. Belief, 23-24 Christ asked for belief. He told the father of the sick boy that all things are possible to those who believe. Doubt paralyzes. Unbe- lief breaks the contact between the soul and God. One man who has reached great assurance of faith says that results follow with almost mathematical precision ac- cording to his faith. This father burst into tears and ejaculated: "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief." His words are descrip- tive of the faith of many religious people. They believe so far. and doubt beyond a given point. They believe at certain times and at other times are torn by grievous doubts. The secret of Christ'.* healing power was hij unlimited faith in God. EXILED MONEY There are millions upon milliooa ef hidden Albei-ta money â€" ^hiddan In banks outside .Alberta.

IMPERSONATION Alico Roosevelt Longworth mu tsrtains her friends at privat* par- tlM by doing an impersonation of Elaanor Roosevelt. >Irs. Roosevelt Faith In Action, 25-29 Christ's faith was not a mood or a pose. It was a basis for action. He healed the sick boy. Emotion was never an end in itself with Gbriat. It wis a spur to redemp- tive action. The disciples aslftd why they could not heal the boy and Christ told them that they lacked prayer and discipline. Christ had won his power to heal through faith, prayer and discip- line. The Golden Text states, ".A.11 things are possible to him that be- lieveth." Is this the secret of our weakness? Is it the explanation of the relative impotence of the Christian Church? Is apostolic power waiting for us as soon as we attain apostolic faith? "Wherever poverty, scikness. or any outward circumstance makes life hard so- cial religion has its chance. It is social religion that founds hospi- tals, supports schools, fathers and cares for orphans, fights alcohol, demolishes slums, stands for eco- nomic justice for the ^oppressed, cultivates world friendship, seeks to supply a healthful social envi- ronment for all the brotherhood of man." learned of this, invited .\lica to t«a and said: "I hear you do a wonderful impersonation of me. Please do it for me." Mrs. Long- worth wanted to oblige, but could oot muster enough courage â€" be- cause the impersonation is such a bitter one. And so she comprom- isad. She gave Eleanor an im- partonation of Mrs. Coolidge. â€" Leonard Lyons in New York Poet.

USE OF THE DICTIONARY In the oourse of study in Eng- lish for Grades IX, .X, and XI ia Ontario schools, just issued, par- ticular stress will be placed on the proper use of a dictionary. Teach- ers are instructed to interest their pupils in the rtudy of words, so that the boys and girL will keep s dictionairy handy while reading in order to find the proper spelling, pronunciation and meaning of ev- ery new term they run across In their books. Awaken a proper interest In a boy or girl as to the use of a dic- tionary, and that interest seldom wanes. The study of a lexicon is not only useful, but to many peo- ple it is fascinating. It is not something that can be complet- ed in a few months or even a few years. There are few, if any, mortals who knov.-, offhand, the exact meaning of every word in the English language. There is always something new to learn. The present instructions are good, but they are an admission of a laxity in this regard in the past. Xo boy ^r girl can become a real scholar without intensive and intelligent use of a diction- ary, â€" Windsor Daily Star. WOMEN IN OVERALLS.
