.. Christ form and model Of prayer
Teach us to pray" said one of the
disciples. The answer was the Lord 8
Prayer as given in the sermon on the
mount, though differing slightly from
1t, Luke's report contains the preface
and tve petitions, but Is essentially the
same as the prayer recorded in Mat
thew. This prayer has boon used both
as form and model Of prayer. II has
been taught to millions and repeated
as n form Of prayer, and who shall deny
tho proprioty of lbs use In this way
Whether Christ intended that IL should
be used in this way we do not know,
but millions can testify to the blessings
contained In the use of this prayer as
form of prayer. 1t Is conceded to be q
model prayer, II has q preface such as
should characterize oil our prayers. 1t
contains five petitions, two bearing on
tho cause of God, which properly come
first, and three referring to the wants
OF man. We are thus taught to pray
for the hallowing of Gods name. the
advancement Of His kingdom and for
temporal and spiritual blessings for our
selves and Others
3. Christ's encouragement to prayer
Christ does not stop with His form and
model of prayer, but goes on TO encour-
age the disciples in prayer by pointing
out the willingness of God to answer
prayer. The first encouragement comes
from the willingness Of friend to give
to friend at midnight, because of his
importantly, and the second from the
willingness OF parents to give good gifts
unto their children. "If ye then, being
evil know how to give good gifts unto
your children, how much more shall
your Heavenly Father give the Holy
Spirit to them that AJAX Himl'
Christ's willingness to teach His dis
ciples form and model Of prayer shows
clearly the importance of care in what
we say to God in prayer. One great
weakness of our praying Is lack of care
full preparation and thought, We pre-
pare to address men, but how few pre-
pare to address God Let MS learn to
pray. Let us study Christ's model
prayer and other Scriptural prayers.
Let us sit at tho feet of Jesus and learn
through Him how and what to pray for
as we ought.

The disastrous ropulse of Gen.
Butler at Tugela river yesterday,
while advancing TO the relief Of the
beleaguered British garrison ut
Ladysmith, destroys Great Britain's
hope Of overcoming the Beers with
the force now assembled in South
Africa. With Kimberly on the west
and Ladysmith on the east practi-
cally ut the mercy Of tho Beers, with
the forces advancing to their relief
effectively checked both at Modder
river and Tugela river, England s
only resource is to draw upon hor
volunteer strength for re-enGurce-
ments. 1t is to be hoped that the
reactlonary sentiment that Is certain
