THE TRUE DOCTRINE OF PRAYER.


One would think that the whole subject of
prayer had been written upon so much, so wise
ly, so lovingly, so exclusively, that we needed
nothing further than to obey the command to
pray without ceasng Yet in reading 'The
True Doctrine of Prayer" by Rev. Leander
Chamberlain d. D., we have a deep sense of
gratitude for his presentation of it. He brings
before us clearly that the Lords Prayer is to
be the model upon which our prayers are based
that until we can say "Hallowed be thy name
thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, as in
heaven, on EARTH" we are in no position to
ask any thing of our Heavenly Father For
we must so trust him that we will know that
anything but his will for us would fail in good
that his Kingdom come, is a reign of blessed
ness, in which his name is reverenced. Every
true child's heart longs for this; he knows that
his happiness is inseparably wrapped in loving
obedience to our heavenly Father This PRAYER
forbids selfish isolation, it is Our Father, our
daily bread, our debts. All true prayer is es-
sentially in keeping with the Lords Prayer
We quote: "In prayer, the appeal is to one who
is infinitely wise and loving, and who guards
perfectly the interests of his universal realm.
Freedom in the presentation of specific pleas
rests primarily on the divine perfection. Spec-
fic pleas may be freely made for the very rea-
son that he who hears is all-wise to decide Nat
urally, the mind of one who prays for specific
results is in an undetermined expectancy
Therefore neither Intellectually nor morally
is the suppliant bound to persuade himself of
the certainty of the desired result He knows
that God hears his petition; that God gives to
it heed which could not be more graciously
honOring, though that petition were the only
one ever presented. The praying one knows
that the decision will be in accordance with his
own major plea-"Thy will be done, as in heav-
en- so on earth" Of himself, that is all he
knows
What, then, is the true explanation of the
statements? "And he saith unto them Because
of your little faith for verify / say unto you,
If We have faith as a grain of mustard seed. We
shall say unto this mountain Remove hence to
yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing
shall be impossible unto you" The author
quotes number of similar passages, and many
of Christ's paradoxical sayings, and then con-
tinues:
The cumulative and culminant inference
from these and similar utterances Of our Lord
is unmistakably clear

In the Canadian General Assembly this wear
the principal debate was on the question of the
Union of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Con-
gregatlonal Churches. The question remains
undecided and overtures are made for including
the Baptist and Episcopal Churches in the pro
posed union, that it is hoped may be consum-
mated in the indefinite future A doctrina
basis has been agreed upon, which is taken from
the Brief Statement of the Presbyterian Church
u. 5. A., and of the English Presbyterian
Church with notifications The Canadian
Church is composed to a great extent of Scotch,
men or their immediate descendants, who are
accustomed to plain, frank speech. Such is
Principal McLaren, who said that the joint
committee was |'to a large degree successful in
framing statement apparently acceptable to
all. If this statement is accepted by all nI
the same sense, much has been done toward
union. 1t must be clear that the article are
understood in the same sense" This would seem
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-07-04

alterably fixed, simply because it was held by
Luther, or Calvin, or Wesley, or Williams, or
the Church at large.
This suggests third essential condition Of
knowing the truth as a basis of harmonious
belief which is that the Word of God must bo
the final and invaluable guide to the knowledge
OF truth. It's authority must be accepted a,
ultimate, and confidence in its testimony must
be implicit.
Let the barriers of worldly policy, ecclesias
teal traditionalism and skeptical criticism of
the oracles of God be removed, and with spirit
ual illumination we may hope for the unity of
faith; but without this, never.

Ma Delhsf tAs West.

New Haven. Conn, Jan. 17.-It is as
certained that the Immediate question
before the Yale Academy faculty in
connection with the proposed reform in
athletics Is q proposition to abolish
gate money and also to limit consider
ably future intercollegiate contests. The
former of these Propositions. namely.
the abolition Of gate money, was debat-
ed at great length at a meeting Of the
academic department faculty held last
Saturday. The debate indicated a con-
siderable division OF opinion upon the
subject. No vote was reached and the
debate was postponed to another
meeting of the faculty which may be
held tomorrow. 1t is stated however,
by one of the leaders in the reform
movement that the proposition to abol
ish gate money IL likely to be consider
ably modified and make the form Of
the reduction of gate admission fees,
say e. per cent. The main difficulty. it
Is held. in the total abolition of the
gate admission fees, is that with ath-
letics at present magnitude It would
throw upon the undergraduate body an
uncomfortable burden of subscriptions
for the support Of athletics. which are
now supported so largely by gate fees
obtained from tine general public.

doing away with the sport. Reforms are
