One of the most peuceful and help
ful series of special meeting* we have
ever had came to a close with last
Sunday's services. Everyone who was
in attendance regulurly witnessed
Sunday night that they had been
greatly helped by the meetings. There
were a few very bright conversions
and everyone, even to the pastor, re
ceived new fire.
Wish everyone of you could have
heard the lust talk of the series Rev.
Groves gave us on the subject ‘‘Twice
Born.” He showed so clearly that the
"new birth” is more than intellectual
belief, more than being baptised,
more even than conversion— (though
often spoken of as though they meant
the same thing), but conversion is a
turning about, forsaking sin und fac
ing the heaven way, hence that is
man's part while the new birth is
God's work—the change of heart and
life that His touch gives when we
humble ourselves and repent und give
ourselves to Him.
Listen to the poem written by a
young man who was converted the
first week of the meetings and read
Sunday night as his testimony:
Yes, 1 was a sinner once,
But Jesus came to me,
Now the glory of the heavenly home
So clearly I can sec.

Tonight I um so thankful
That I trust the God ubove,

And Him I'll always love.
Oh, is there is a sinner
Within this church tonight.
Won't you come and speak to Jesus

He’ll forgive you, He’ll receive you,
Rejoicing in your love,
He’ll put within your lonely heart
Golden treasures from above.
You’ll never, no you’ll never
Regret thnt Jesus came within,
But you'll praise Him in the highest
That He cleansed you from all sin.

New Year’s Prayer
By C. W. R O B ISO N in P o rtlan d T elegram
Oh, Tliou Master of all the worlds,
Ruler of Earth and of Heaven,
To Thee we raise a fervent prayer,
“OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN.”
Before us lies the coming year,
Our paths are faint and strange;
In Thy own hands we place our fate,
"HALLOWED BE THY NAME.”
The toil of years seem naught to us,
The work our hands have done
Are to the enil that we may see,
"THY KINGDOM DONE.”
For in Thy sight— what are our works,
Thou who didst all in seven?
And this our prayer, "THY WILL BE DONE
ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.”
The gold we’ve heaped—the fame we’ve piled
Like mountains o’er our head,
But for Thy love— we seek, Oh, Lord,
"GIVE US—OUR DAILY BREAD.”
Gifts we have brought and prayers we’ve prayer,
Each by his conscience fettered;
"AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS, we pray thee, Lord,
"AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.”
And thus we pray this coming year
That we may do Thy will,
"AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION.
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.”
And thus we pray deep in our hearts
The way of humble men,
"FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM,
AND POWER, AND GLORY,
FOREVER,
