The blessed assurance that wa are not carrvine the burden alone, waging the battle alone, but that our strength - is allied with the al mighty power of God. This imparts a confidence to life which nothing else affords. Belief in the father Interprets and makes you IndepeKuent of condi tions that harass and prush. many. God pity the man or woman who amid the temptations of the world and the grind of life has not the blessed faith and re liance on prayer. Because business Is so great and life so strenuous, men and women have more lieed of prayer. A business that will not bear praying for is one tnat neitner uoa nor man can ap prove. Prayer, Too, Can KaaL "Many ask 'Will prayer heal the sick?' At a meeting of the British Medical society Dr. Hysloo. a brilliant special tirat8-seaiMwr saldt- r -one whose whole life has been concerned with sufferings of the mind, I would state that of all hyzenic measures to counteract depressed spirits or a dis turbed mind, I give . the first place to the simple and ennobling habit of prayer.' "I know prayer has healing power; The wisets doctors claim for their art nothing but to remove obstructions and supply oondltions favorable to the work of the divine healing power. - Every Bchool of practice can exhibit a gen uine array of cures, but whatever the name, of the healer through whose me dium lt flows, it Is God who cures. "Prayer is power In God's work. Once begin praying for the growth of any work and assistance Is sure to come. Every reform; every advance' has been helped forward by prayer. Some true soul saw the need and sent forth a crv over the wireless and the heart tuned to every blessed , service heard and prompted the helpers to come. "We TTnJversallsts must pray our faith. We must pray earnestly for the weary, tempted and triad. You do not realise .how much the blessing and sav ing of others depends upon our praying for them. God , never .ceases to care for his children. He wants us to be kind to the unthankful and evil, as he is; to De always interested In them. Plaoe Paith in Goo. "When you are puzxled as to what Is right what is your duty and how best to do it you may by prayer claim the promise, -ir any or you lack wisdom let blm ask of God and lt shall be given him.' "Prayer serves to show what Is worth while.- You think you need and must have certain things, but when it comes to praying for" them you ask not for outward adornment but Inward growth. God can do "more In a praying man than in another, . because that man Is more open and responsive. It is like the reed Pipes in a church organ, which hava little tonguea of brass, one end --confined, the other vibrating musically as soon as a current of air la let in upon it It could not be musical Sunday If it ware not able to be musical all the time.-- As these pipes are made to ptil ate, so you and I are fitted . to pray and commune with the all father."
