Some of w never think of God until we lay upoa the flat of our badk? in illnes& or misfortune,' or until the black clouds of financial distress gather. \ Then wanting to pay' our bills, and not knowing how to do it. we raise , our eyes to heaven and say: "God help me." What were your first thoughts ? when you arose this morning? Did you thank God for your abundant health, wholesome food and many other favors. Thousands are blind and think that they are the whole show and never have to thank God for the " - blessings they have. Christians should thank God for another glorious day of service, should ask Him. what His program is for . thenv this day. There are those who ? insist "on having their own way and will. Are you greater than God? . k Can you trifle with Christ? Is Chris. -first in your home or in your businesf interests ? I am pleading with you to jet the finest in your rule. Are you . following Him? Is He first? './ - .The* man who is a true follower of Jesus is he who loves and obeys Him, and* in this obedience enthrones God first, before his business, before his - pleasure, and he that does this will hot lose. 'Anyone that does not follow Cmist is not a Christian. Be honest, be big enough to do big things. Those Christians who cannot place Chris, first in everything should go to their pastor and ask to have their names stricken from the church roll. Jesus was saturated in prayer. We read where He withdrew from the multitude to pray. His most thrilling moments, His most momentous achievements.* Christ retired to some mountain and there sought the solitude of prayer, praying for hours at a time. Yes, He was saturated with the art of prayer. The light of God is in man's soul, only as the man lives in an atmosphere of prayer. My father, Gipsy Smith, Sr., preach<-d for 45 years and he only had five weeks' schooling in his life. -He was signally honored on five continents, and I know that much of the grace that came to him, was through the medium of prayer. The first time he hoard the story of Jesus was when he was a lad of 16. Then someone crave him a Bble and the young nomad, unlettered njid untutored, did not know when he held the Bible upside down Cfi not as he could not read a single uord, but he clasped the Book to his. heart, and on his knees he prayed that his heart might be filled with the s pirit of God. 1 believe that the reason he was so blessed was because he cultivated the spirit of prayer. Let me ask this question: Where are the elders of this church on prayer meeting night? Where are the deacons ? Where are the Sunday school teachers, the ushers and the members of the congregation, where pre they on prayer meeting night? They can go to the club, the theatre in moat any meeting except prayer Meeting. The weakest spot in any church is the prayer life.

The church i of Jesus cannot play second fiddle to t anything without losing out, without f dying spiritually. t Do you pray? Are you intimate with God? It was the passion of i Christ's life to help the lowly and \ whe afflicted. When he went into a 1 town it was to get hold of the lost J man, woman or child, whom nobod> I < Ise wanted to have anything to do i with. In one instance Jesus stopped | a woman of ill repute, who was shun- \ ned by all others because of her bao 1 character. He talked to this woman. She took an inward look and got a t vision of herself nnd when she left nhi> went hark to h?>r viIIhcp unrl 1 as the result of the message she took with her, she caused a revolution in < the life of that town. When she met ; Jesus she was a sinner, but when she i eft Him she was a saint. And so, the spirit of Jesus has en- i tered the hearts of hundreds of the ' world's greatest writers, orators,, phi- < losophers, statesmen, artists and i poets. i The Gipsy tribe of which I was a 1 member \\as regarded as the scum of the earth. No ministers ever came " to our tribe and told us the story of i the life of Christ, but an old Metnl odist layman, who could not speak a < half dozen words of the Queen's English correctly, did, and as a result our old tent began to shine with the light of the truth. The result of that unpretentious missionary work is being felt today, and five members of my Gypsy clan are today dedicating their lives to the spreading of the gospel in \arious parts of the world.'' Any fool can sing ''Rescue the Perishing," but have any of you Christians ever taken off your coats and helped to do any of the rescuing? I tell you that it is downright blasphemy to sing "Rescue the Perishing," and then stop there. Your prayers never reach fulfillment until you d;\est yourselves of your coats and start doing some rescue work of your cwn. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ you will select a day now and then, drop your work and see if you cannot bring some young fellow that is in danger of going wrong. How many of your Christian women have put your arms around an erring girl and said: "My dear, I want to help you?" More likely you have been among those that instead of helping have pushed her farther down. The Bible cannot be a fire escape for those who stand by and. see unfortunates go to the devil. Iiave you ever gone off the wellbeaten path to bring some sin-cursed soul to the living Christ? Religion , does not consist only of singing pret- | ty songs and pious hymns. Religion , is in helping to bring sin-cursed souls back to the Master. ( E.

As a result of these policies iberty bonds have progressively risi in value. The general financial tuation has steadily improved, and day the country has a brighter prosset ahead of ita business, industryid agriculture than at any time since ir mistaken program of drastic deition adopted by those who wert ten in control of government poliea." Notwithstanding all the Dower of te bis financial interests of New ork to secure the reappointment ' W. P. G. Harding as the head of le Federal Reserve Board, it would >t be possible for President Hardig, after his arraignment of the lanagement of the Federal Board, i re-appoint him without stultifying imself and making such an appointent the ridicule of the country. Nor >uld be properly appoint as gover>r any other man who as a member T the board co-operated in that deation work. Indeed, it would seem lat these men, thus vigorously repuiated by the president, should imediately resign, unless they are sad. lacking in the sense of what is roper under the circumstances. This ation may, therefore, rejoice that me of the men who by unwise mangement of the Federal Reserve oard brought about a deflation which vept out of existence not less than iirty billion dollars of value, which ankrupted hundreds of thousands of irmers, which caused the suicide of undreds of people driven to despair y reason of hopeless indebtedness, in possibly be appointed as governor T the Federal Reserve Board in the ght of the denunciation by President arding of the result of that man;emout.
