N today's leeaou the Master teils of proper and fm pro per giving of charity He aleo explains proper and Improper prayers and Anally proper and improper fasting. Id all ftheee He denounces hypocrisy. His fol. lowers are to be actuated solely by a desire to please the Heavenly rather. We may be seen to do good or to or to fast but we are not to do to at sera. Of such the Lord says. They beet received their reward" aothlng more Is coming to them; they get the put.i ity nought. The Privilege of Pr%yr. Jesars did not commsnd His disciples to pray, nor did He even give them a form of prayer until requested. The Lord's people must feel their need of Dreine help to appreclste the privilege at* approaching the tbrooe of grsce. It will be noticed also that our Lord saerely taught His disciples: "When ye pray.** As s matter of fact, the Gen tDoa, the world of mankind In genital. aav# no access to the Throne of grace. **Qod neareth not elnners."?John lx. 31. world In general, the rsce of was sltennted from God through wicked works.

But Adam'a disobedi? ence abolished that asvscant ? relation- rVusehs to *? **m of atdp and all Its flMAa svtvtlegee,-- Ho?, vi. 7. R. V. The only ones, therefore, who now enjoy the privilege of prayer are those who have been accepted of God back Into covenant relationship. Instead of exhorting our friends and sjatghbore to pray to God and to trust gar the fulfilment of their prayers, we ?booId give them the Bertptoral coun eel to repent of aln and by faith ac? cept the forgiveness of their sins, ac carding to the testimony of God'a I. by making a foil consecration of to be followers of Jesus. A Form ef Sound Words. Ree ponding to the request of His dUsclpiea Jesus gave a sample of a proper prayer. We note its brevity. Simplicity, directness, orderliness. (1) "Our rather, which art In Rear an. hallowed I adored, honored] be Thy Berne." God's Name represents Ells character. Hla Kingdom. His person? ality. First of all. then, we ascribe hooor. revereoce. majesty, glory to our great Creator, whom, through Hla ap? pointed way. we delight to call our Father In Heaven. (2) Next In order we acknowledge Che Divine authority. This means that Oar beerte sre submissive to the will of God. for Joy or sorrow, for pleasure or polo, for life or death, and that we have cooOdence In the hi vine power promise that ultimately the Divine will shall be as fully done on earth as it la now done In Heaven: 'Thy King? dom come. Thy will be done on earth as It la done In Heav? en." In this we rec? ognize the coming of Messiah's King? dom and Indirectly "Tap Kmgdomt our own hopes con m*m%" nected with that Kingdom ? thut wo. if faithful, shall be ".afed with the Lord In His glo Throne. in dlapenslng the bles of Divine power and mercy to [ lad. so as to effect the regen er a of all the willing end obedient.
