SAMUEL D. PRICE, DM. A suggestion of the universality of prayer is found in the “Pater Noster” Church, on the summit of the Mount of Olives. In the vestibule arc 32 large tablets bearing the Lord’s Prayer in as many different lan guages. Then three more such translations are close at hand in this build ing. The most unlettered people has its prayer forms, in which they seek to placate an injured deity. Prayer, however, is much more than an effort to avoid consequences for wrongs that have been committed. In this means of grace the Christian approaches the Throne for spiritual fellowship and to express thanksgiving, before any requests are made for personal benefits or favors. In this manner of address we talk things over with our personal God and indicate our confidence in Him. Scripture portions for special study, in addition to those indicated above, are Genesis, 18:23-33; Fxodps 32:31, 32; Nehemiah 1:4-11; Daniel 6:10; John 17:1-26; Thessalonians 5:17. One of the most helpful hooks on the subject is “With Christ in the School of Prayer,” by Andrew Murray. Intercessory prayer is especially illustrated in the portions in Genesis and Exodus. Abraham pleads for Lot in Sodom, which is about to be de stroyed, and though ten righteous men could not be found therein the nephew is saved, which is the purport of Abraham's “prayer. Moses prayer involves a nation. Sinning Israel is saved, though Jehovah had said that of Moses he would make a greater people. The decree of a king could not stop Daniel from keeping his daily prayer tryst with God. place for daily prayer, and Williston, Feb. 9.—Mrs. Lizzie Dicks came Thursday to attend the funeral of Fred Parker.

The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray and the model called the lord’s Prayer is the answer. While we are to follow the general content the Christian world has made blessed use of the actual words. Wc must use this as a prayer, however, rather than as any form of recitation. The approach is by a formal recognition of Deity and an ascription concerning Him. It is in order to confess our sins before we seek favors from one who has been wronged by our acts. Note most carefully that Jesus indicated that the way in which we forgive our debtors is the stand ard by . which we seek pardon from obr heavenly Father. Here is a test indeed. Being at peace with God we begin to seek His blessings. We want His Kingdom to be establshed here on earth. This is the socialized Gospel in action. His will is to be done by us, even as the angels and redeemed souls absolutely follow His desire in Heaven. ^ I he publican reveals the simple, direct attitude and petition that the Father accepts. His only outcry was “God be merciful to me a sinner.” This prayer was answered and the man returned joyously to his home. work on in the real way.
