D. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * Editor The Herald and News: Your correspondent failed to correctly quote what -we sn.id in . a interview with the Spartanburg Jour.1al, though correct in the position we '.ke. We said, with emphasis, that it was not for, us to say whether or ':.ot the drought, and consequent ills, came as ANDERSOA SELLS IT 3 Buy From Us and "SA V ANDERSOA a judgment from God, but if it did it was an insult to pray for rain until the people confessed their evil doings and stopped doing the things which brought on this distress; and that is true from both Bible teaching and rea son. The Bible distinctly says, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me;" "He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination." "Ye ask and recenve not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your pleasures." We did not say it was useless to pray for rain; but, we repeat, "If these calamities come as divine judgments then men insult God by going on in sin, and at the same time -praying Him to remove His chatening hand. Con fession and abandonment of the wroxig must come before our prayers can avail with God. But what are the facts? Baieball on Sunday; a thousand motor cars chas ing over all the land on the Lord's Day; men and women in every town and rural section making a conven ience of God's Holy Sabbath, neglect ing the Lord's house; robbery under pretext of law; government prostitu ted to the vilest ends; immorality stalking red-handed through the land; and pleasure dominating the life of the great masses. Then, how many would ever have met to pray purely for the glory of God? With many hon orable exceptions, it is yet true that men want prayer for blessings that "they may consume it upon their. lusts-their .pleasures.'' Our position is clearly founded on the word of God; and the principle is unmistakably given in the words of Jesus: "Leave thy gift at the altar, go and be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift." So, let men confess their wrongs against dod, and like Josiah and his people, vow ,o abandon their iniquity. Then, and only then, is there promise that our prayers will' avail with God. tNOTICE OF OPENING BOOKS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
