Special to The Nf7Os.
was greatly impressed by reading
the letter from Doans, Tex. There Is
so much truth in it in regard to the
church members and the way to live
to be a good Christian. We should
truly and sincerely believe that we can
come to God and ask for material
things that we need and strongly de-
sire By so doing we need not have
any fear of the future. Through spir-
itual forces we are bound to God, and
to each other, and when we compre-
bend this fully then we shall realize
our power, knowing that we are one
with God. God answers our prayers
by awakening in someone the desire to
help us to that which we need. We,
by prayer, telegraph our wants to God
and He transmits message to the one
able and most likely to help us. Thus
we should so live that he may use us
as an instrument to help others, but
we must not be selfish. We must have
faith. In fact, go to God in a
child like, trusting spirit and a re-
Spouse will be sure to come. Some
times when everything seems against
us, and we see no way out, very likely
a change is coming and new opportun-
tiles will present themselves along
different lines from which we planned.
All those who love and who have
learned in some degree to control their
own lives, are always seeking a way to
help others, and generally in the light
of their own experience. The love OF
God is no fictitious or dreamy senti-
ment, our whole life is Gods gift. AS
the greatness and happiness of mans
life develops the gift is greater and the
love is greater, so l agree with the
sentiment of the Doans', Texas, letter.
Let us have our churches clean. Let
us work and pray, and be hopeful and
what God sends let us believe is best.
