The platform OF prevailing prayer is
labeled, Thy will be done" A sense
OF Gods sovereignty, and OF his right
20 decide what is best, and OF the wis
dom OF all OF his decisions. must I'M
derlie all approach To the throne OF
grace. The Gethsemane garden cry,
Not my will, but thine. he done" is
fundamental to the entire Christian
idea OF prayer Stubborn selfwill
can command no fayors from heaven.
In the school OF prayer the great
life lessons are learned. There II Is
that a sense OF relations and proper
lions is acquired so that life is not dis.
torted. with the nonessentials first and
the essentials last II is a profound
education for any soul to grasp the
truth that God is on the throne OF the
universe. Then all lesser truths and
facts fall into proper relationship. A
sense Of humility and teachableness
follows naturally. one is brought In
TO spiritual fellowship with all the
family OF Gods praying children as he
q
real school OF brotherhood. The elu-
slve peace which the world so vainly
pursues becomes the possession of the
one who enters often into the prayer
closet Strength. wisdom. content
ment. power, all await the pupil in the
school OF prayer.
There Is a spot where spirits blend.
Where friend holds fellowship with
friend,
Through sundered far; by faith they
meet
Around the common mercy seat
There. there on eagle wings we soar,
And time and sense seem all no more,
And heaven comes down our souls to
greet,
And glory crowns the mercy seat"
Polse OF soul is acquired In the
school of prayer
Every growing life needs periods OF
detachment Come ye apart" is the
masters word to all his disciples.
Freedom from dependence upon and
ENHANCEMENT with the world Is won
BY him who goes apart to pray In
this experience OF isolation and medi-
tation he realizes himself. as well as
God George Herbert's injunction is
wise:
"By all means use some times to be
alone;
Salute myself, see what thy soul
doth wear.
Dare to look within thy chest. for II
Is thine own,
And tumble up and down what
thou fndest there"
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1913-01-16

have all had this experience. ! am
telling things you know.
think tonight of an incident IN
my own life that | have never told
to any person; and there is no one
living now who knows IT. When ] was
fifteen years old | did very fool
ish and wicked thing. My father knew
il and knew that he knew it, lie
didn't say a word. The neat morning
at family prayers, he wept; and my
mother did not understand his tears,
and then | knew he had not told
my mother That was one of the
heaviest days OF my life. felt that
| couldn't live in the same house
with my father when he knew what
had done, and so | decided that i
would run away that night. And got
together my possessions. | had sill
yer cup which my grandfather had
given me because | was named for
him. had a silver pencil and | had
silver watch. and got these to-
gethcr with n few other things and
calculated their value and / thought
could buy ticket TO some western
town and go away. | worked with my
father that day and he said nothing.
but he saw the heaviness OF my Coun-
tenance, and at night when We came
home he said something to me that
made me know he had forgiven me.
Do you know what it is to be for
given? Why you don't know the load
you carry until it IS lifted. And so
say TO each one of you, You are
Gods child and YOU do not realiza
what a load of unrest you are carry
ing until it shall be lifted and you
know that your father has forgiven
YOU" That is part of religion.
And another part of the pearl Of
great price is power Power ! think
We all know that we like power The
fellow that can get astride of horse
and make the horse 80 this way or
that-Oh, he feels good because h
has power. The girl that can run IA
cookstove, or the sewing machine, or
a Sunday School, or any other organi-
cation, has a joy that is pure, inno-
cent, commercially, and heavenly.
Power Many OF us have FOUND tn
limits Of power. And We haze found
some things OF power that We admire.
| think, If we know whore to place
our admiration, We admire the mar
tyrs when they stand alone and face
frowning world We admire thu
inventor, who when everybody els
says this and that is impossible, says,
1t shall be done, and through long
days and nights he SEARCHES and ran
sacks the treasures of nature until
he brings forth that which the world
said was impossible, We admire those
independent people. | can give You

Now you can all very easily read
that parable. There is no little child
here tonight who could not interpret
