A Prayer for
Each Day
By REV. B. B. SUTCLIFFE '
BiUatioh DeFtrtnwnt. Moody Bible

', TEXT Teach nie thy way, O Lord.
Pi. 2I;H.
- I The text Is a prayer which every
. 'mirlRtlnn would do well to usa rinllv.
There . are three
reasons why tills
prayer should be
c o n s t a n tly of
fered. ' '
I. The Need of
Instruction.
We are by na
ture Incapable of
knowing the way
of the Lord. Nat
urally we arc In
Ignorance con
eernlng spiritual
things. God must
reveal his way to
us and he does so
In nnswer to such
a prayer as this.
' lint pruycr pre
supposes n spirit of meekness. If
meekness bo absent wo will pray, in
vain, for It Is unto the meek he shows
his way. Moses was called the meek
est. man, hence It Is said, "He made
known his ways unto Mosps." If we
would know bis Way we will lii meek
ness pray,' 'Teach me thy way, Q
Lord." ' - -v.' v..-i-1v -Vliilj
I ' Our proneness to wander Is another
; reason for using this prayer dally. We.
pre naturally. Inclined to choose our
;own way because it seems right, fojv
i getting "there Is a way which seenieth
right unto a man, but the end thereof
Is the way of death." ; There may not
be much difference, between pur way
nnd Ills at first, but however sllglif at
jk.

the.bpginning tlm end will be the dif- ; : W. B- SMITH, 1'calor.

bis or her own peculiarities. Enchi
one hns peculinr problems nnd difficul
ties which confront no one else. Many.
things nre common to nil
believers?!
but each ling some things which are
pecullar. It is this peculiarity of pmb-1
lem or difficulty which causes the need
of,personal Instruction. .Only-the Lord!
knows all the clremnRtnncp and nnly
the Lord knows all the way. Other!
may know much; they cannot knnwl
all. Hence the advice of others, how
ever well Intended, and however wise
tne giver, can never tni;e tue place or
T the advice the Lord gives. And the
Instruction of others, however good
innd godly 1he giver, can never take
the place of 'the' Instruction of the
Lord. The church of God Is made up
of units and each unit has Its own po-
cullnr part to perform. Without, the
personal Instruction of the Lord Bomo
Chrlstlnn may be found' doing anoth
er's work while bis qnvn lies neglected, t
As the body is one nnd yet has many
members and each member-Its oyn of: I
flee, so Is the Church. Two questions
must be asked by each Christian
"Am T In the I nril' ')" nnil "Am I

in the Lord's way former .

This need arises because of the
Christian's threefold enemy ever lurk-'
Ing beside the pnlh and evei' ready
to lure nslray. The world will present
many nlternntlves for the Lord s way
and bring them . to the believers at-
tention so cranny that unless torn-
lied by this dally prayer the reet win
unconsciously stray away from 'he
right path even where the desire not,

for ike Christian. It will be satisfied
If it can indnce the believer to do good
if the good Is done ill n wrong way,
Because n thing is good It does nnt
necessarily follow that It Is good for
each Clirlsllan to (In. Only I lie Lord
knows what is good, for each one, nnd
he must be looked to for the needed
Instruction. The Hesh also Is ever on
the alert to lend, astray. The Lord
alone can divide between the soul nnd
spirit or between what the Christian
k Is by nature nnd grace. Hence the
Lord alone can be relied upon for In-1
. structlcm. And lastly, the Devil as-1
suTues the uppenrnuce of n nngcl of j
light, nnd he can so work en the con-:
science ns to muke one think Unit one
should do evil. . Paul says, '"I verlly
thought I ought to do" cdrinin things,
but inter he confesses he was nt that
tlnro "a blasphemer ami Injurious."
1 Tim. 1 :i:i. The Lord alone can see
and guard against the Devil's 'wiles
and devices, hence the Lord alone enn
.give proper Instruction. .
f In .view of our natural ignorance
and. prnncnoss to wander, In view of
nuf peculiar problems and difficulties,
nnd In view of the world, the flesh and
the Devil, our safely lies in this dally
prayer, "Teach me thy way, O Lord."

our nil-American ace, has worked out
some unusual tactics regarding fight

POIvTLANDr Aug. 17. (Special.)
'Evety'J'oung man in .the United States
who has passed his 21st birthday since
Registration Day for 21-ycar.olil men
last,' Juno 0, must register for the
draft on Saturday, August 24.
i By proclamation of President Wil
son, .just issued, this call includes citi-'
ns-as well as nan-citi.ens. The only
mon of the age specified who will' not
have to register arc those already in
j the military or naval service.- - vy
This call should not be confused. with
the big Registration Day, to be. .held
some time in September, for rcjistrn'
tion of nil men between the- ages of
IK and 45 years - .- j. .'
! Tin's Registration Day just ordered
j is exclusively! for (mcn who were not
et zi yea is old lust June a, uut wno
lave become 21 years old oh or before
ugunt 24. Every man of them must
register. , r.
lAs before, registration will bo in
hai go of local draft boards. The
"egistiation places will bo open from 7
o'clock in the morning to 9 o'c'ock at
night.
No excuse will be accepted for fail-
Pio'to register. The time remaining
oetorc Kcgistrntion I'ay Is so very
ibort that every man who comes with
n the call should arrange his affairs
now so he can go to tho registration
'ilaee on August 24 and register.
Failure lo register is punishable by
'ixpt'isonmcnl up lo one year, and fol
'ovvcil by induction into the service.
Even s'h knows will be no excuse for
railing to register. Any 21-yeur-old
man who is ill should send some com-iel;-ut
,)c:;on immediately to his local
dnift hoard, which will explain what
to do.
Men vho will unavoidably be away
from their home precincts on llegis
liation Day, should proceed at once lo
'lie1 local draTl board nearest the place
where they may happen to be, and ask
for instructions for registering by
nail. Prompt action is of the utmost
importance, for all mail registrations
must be received by the' proper local
di aft board by August 24. -The
pui-po.se in requiring nt IhiR time
I registration of men who have be
come 21 years old since last June 5, is
lo keep Class 1 filled until congress
