HUGH T. STEVENSON. THE SPIRIT OF‘ PRAYER.— Luke, 1 Golden 'rut.—’rlu sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O Uod, thou wilt not despise.— Psalm, 81.17. Humanity reveals its heart hunger after God in its prayer life. The deep- est impulse of the soul may be neg- lected by men under ordinary cigcum- stances, but when they face trials and periods of great stress, It is nat- ural for them to pray. Fosdick has pointed out that “in the most skep- tical man or generation prayer is al- days underground, waiting.” He cites the fact that “Buddhism, a religion theoretically without & God, ought|ge logically to exclude praver: but in countrles where Buddhism is domi- nant, prayer |s present. Contusiuy, a good d ot an agnostic, urged his disciples not to have much to do with the gods; and today Confuclus is him- =elf a god and millions worehip him. Before the tendency to pray all bar- riers go down.” Sabatier's statement that “men were incurably religious” is confirmed by the universul practice of men of all ages to pray to a “pow- ! er_not ourselves.” Prayer has been questioned In mod- ern times through the predominance of one of two ideas. First, science, “which has reduced all knowledge to laws which regulate the universe.” While in the' physical world events occur in necessary euccession, “‘man is a spirit, who dwells In a physical body. Hie spiritual life is regulated by spiritual law that provides for his obtaining_ spiritual strength throuxh prayer. It fills the spirit with the power of God. It is the most direct of wll helps in the sustaining and de- velopment of one's spirftual life. It is ns scientific to pray as it is to eat. It does for the spirit what bread dves for the body. The other idea that has weakened men's faith in praver is the fact that they have been over- whelmed by God's greatnese. They question whether §o insignificant be- ing as a man could change God's will or program. Clarke has well said that “if God were not a free personal be- ing, Answer to prayer would of course be ‘imposaible; but If He is a frec spirit, there is no reason why He may not grant human raquests if Ife sees suffificient reason.” Donxhty has suggested that “prayer puts forc- s at the disposal of God to be up- plied by Him to definate tasks. Pray- er does not change the will of God, but it enables God to change the wills of men. Praver doss not per- suade God. but it gives God a power to bring to bear on men for persuad- ing them. All prayer is directed to Him, and the putting forth of prayer energy releases forces which God can and does uso to accomplish definite and practical ends.” Jesus met sim- ilar discouragements to prayer in the parables of the lesson. Our Lord taught men to pray by precept and practice. He placed be- fore His disciples the privilege, prin- ciples and power of prayer. He com- menced Him instruction in the science of praver by His revelation of God, as Father, which is the key that opens up all the treasures and power in heaven and on earth to all who would commune with God. His own life revealed that prayer was the source of power. He encour- aged men to keep their lines of communication with God unbroken through a life of intercession. If any one neglects his privilege of communion with the Father he outs off his source of supply of spiritual strength and courage. If men fail to pray they will weaken their spirit- ual” vitallty and power. Praysr is absolutely essential to the spiritual ife. Jesus sought to meet the tendency to neglect man's highest privilege. He recognized that It would overtake His_followers because of the delay in His return, would weaken their faith in the triumph cf the right and of God. The neglect of prayer would tend to weaken their epiritual life, and also have a tendency to make their prayer 1lfe spasmodic and in- efficient. “Doubt paralyzes commun- fon with our Father. There is no more deadening force than to seek Di- vine help through prayer without faith that God has the power and villlln(nesa to give all who ask of “To my prayers is nnl to prar. Unless mean the words I ea; The Master sought lo meet the disoouragements concerning prayer by speaking “a parable unto them to the end that men ought always to pray and not to faint.” It outlined the conditions of prevallin rayer. The arux of the parable of the un- just and the Importunate widow fis found in the spirit of the woman. Her resolute persistency fllustrated “the continued asking and seeking, and knocking that Jesus commended and commanded, and which has the promise of such certain answers” LOAN FUND IS CREATED Pastor of Southern Methodist Con- gregation, Baltimore, Forms Asso- ciation for Members’ Benefit.

Chinese Mourn As Magic Wine Is Dumped in Sea|3: By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 10.—Sev- enty-five thousand bottles of Chinese wine, an exotic, jade-col- ored fluid, believed by oriental residents of various American citles to possess divine properties capable of appeasing the Deit; were carried out to sea in a cus- toms service barge and thrown into the Atlant Meanwhile erstitious resi- dents of New York's Chinatown awaited with dread results of the destruction of the several hundred thousand potions of love, hate and death contained In the wine bot- tles.

Several weeks ago Rev. Mr. Baker conceived the idea of such a fund through hearing of an unfortunate experience one of the members of the church had with a pawnshop dealer.

During the time the money is unpald the debtor is asked to de- posit 10 cents a week toward the Paintenance of the o caital. The fund now sists of several hundred dollars, And several persons not oonnected with the church have manifested interest in the movement and promised to contribute. —_— PLANS SPECIAL SERVICE.

She Su ersistence ' is of power with God. It was the de of her sincérity ‘and conviction that Rave her earnestness and persistency. This made her a successful pleader with the unjust judge who feared that she would literally give him a black eye if he did not grant her pstition. Her importunity won her case. It is easy to misinterpret the teach- ing. of the parable as one of pure per- severance. While it emphasized the importunity of the widow and her success, it would hardly be reasonable to think for a moment that the char- acter of God could be in anything like that o the unjust judge or that He would be influenced to grant men's Petllions in order to get rid of be- ng annoyed by their constant cessions. The seret of successful praying is based upon the character od, as our Father, and our right relation w H(m The correct teaching of the par: according to Farrar, is th " -n unjust and abandoned judge grants a just petition ast, ut’or a otives, when it is often urged, to A de(ancaleln erson for whom he cares nothing, how much more shall a just and fearful God hear the cry and avenge the cause of those whom He loves? Many have questioned the eMcacy of prayer because they have confused prayer with petition. They have made requests and because they have not obtrined immediate answers have doubted its value. Thev usually have forgotten that the chief assurances of the fulfiliment of human requests is based upon conditions that im )y the harmony of the human will with the Divine. Delays in the answer of our prayers are by no means denlals. A long delay may be used to test our faith, sharpen our desire and increase our determination until our intercos- sion shall win the victory in the fisld of prayer. Insistence in prayer is not the cause of its answer, The certain- ty of recelving that which is asked in name should prompt us to con- tinde in prayer, when all around seems to_forbid hope. Men ‘reveal iheir faith and charac- ter in prayer. Christianity calls for a threefold relation to our God, our fellowman, and ourselves. Jesus em- phasized that haracter was an im- portant conditlon of prayer and that in communion with the Father, heart is more than an art. The Lord por- trayed the right spirit of prayer in his Yln picture of the Pharisee and publican ‘golng up to the temple to pray. They were typical cases that oa be reproduced in modern life. Two went to pray, or, rather ay, One went to brag. and the other to pray. They entered together. “The Pharlsee with his broad blue zisith, or fringe, and the tephillin (prayers) or phy- lacteries, fastened conspicuously on brow and shoulder. the publican in his common working dress, with no outward badge to testify that he was 2 child of the covenant.” They were both sinners, although there was nothing in the attitude of the Pha: see to suggest it. The Pharisee revealed by his atti- tude the very ostentatiousness of hypocrisy that the Master condemned in His sermon on the mount. His self-complacency and self-glorifica- tion was manifest in the conspicuous position which he selected. It was more evident in his egotism. In two short sentences he used “I" five times and the word “God” only once. He may have thought that he was de- celving God when he paraded off his virtues before men. ~The bigotted. concelted and dogmatic man vitiated all the possible excellence that there may have existed in his conducted and religlous observances of fasts, prayer and tithing by his spirit of self-glorification. This sinful spirit in the heart s fatal to true prayer. He prayved to himself, not to God. He perverted his privilege. He left the temple condemned because he trusted in himself and despised cthers. The poor publican separating him- self from others because he e sinner had Another spirit. His w the true-spirit of prayer for it was a cry for mercy and .pardon. It fs one of the shortest prayérs that we find in the Bible. 1t was as effective as that of the importunate widow, for it avalled much. He was humble as he turned like a child and sought for- giveness for his si ‘When he lert unnoticed by men who, looking upon the outward appearance, had observed the Pharisee depart, the publican went home triumphant. God had heard his prayer. It was humble, penitent and definite In its request His spirit pleased God, for he sent him to his home “accepted of the Iard.” The way to salvation is opened by pleading the publican's prayer, but the way to service calls for us to “wrestle with God” in pri should be_the prlnclpl our life. Let us pray fag oft. All the apiritual power which the Lord desires to bestow upon us depends upon our learning the spirit of prayer which .8 taught lesson. broken spirl! heart, O God, broken and a contrite thou wilt not despise.” ——————— e —— MISS BRYAN TO SPEAK.
