They’re not going to sti- fle and stagnate behind a boxwood hedge!” Judith was often remind- ed of the truth of Reuben’s words. Already the young Olivers heard the call of adventure. Already they were peeping through the hedge curious to see what lay behind. Again she heard Clem Rogers saying: “You're getting a man with spunk, ma’am, and honesty. Can you match those traits?” Could she? Yes! She never had, but she could now. ‘I Have Changed’ UICKLY she arose from the rug before the fire and going straight to her desk, switched on alight and commenced to write: Reuben dear: It is after midnight but I can’t sleep until I tell you many things. Gran and Jim were so glad to see me. Everything is just the same, Reu- ben—all the precious things—house, bozxwood, stables, servants, even the good earth, More than ever it is all part of me—warp and woof—woven deep into the fabric of my being—my old home that you kept safe and-t:n- changed for me—but, let me whisper it, Reuben, I have changed.

Tiedemann, spoke about the subject of prayer. pointed out that this was such a large subject that all he could in} one instruction was to deal with some of the more outstanding features. Praver is communion with God. In prayer one comes into relationship with God. Most of the difficulties of prayer are those of relationship. | The missioner then proceeded to discuss some of the more ordin-! ary difficulties of prayer, such. as; wandering thoughts and dryness! in devotion. He then went on to speak about what is called “acted prayer”, and showed how all the! ordinary actions of the day could | be turned into intercessions. The subject of the instruction tonight is “Holy Communion”. The mission services will close Wednesday night. PERSONAL MENTION Joseph Pierce, former Key!
