ADVOCATES PRAYER TO
MEET ALL EMERGENCIES
Rev. j. l.. Gardiner Asserts Great
Men OF the World Were Those
Who Prayed 90 God.

Gods Call for Advance" was the
theme on which Rev. James L. Gard
liner Il. d. spoke Sunday morning at
the ST. Pauls Memorial Methodist
Episcopal church. He chose as his
text II. Samuel SEA, And let it be
when thou nearest the sound OF a
going in the tops OF the mulberry
trees. then thou shalt bestir myself
He said, David had come to a
crisis in his long life. out yonder are
the Philistines. Shall he march
against them or not? For answer
David turns TO God and inquiries OF the
Most High. God answered him by
telling him that when he heard the
sound Of the going" in the tops OF
the mulberry trees he was TO bestir
himself. David did so and conquered
his enemy.
II would like this morning to lay
emphasis on the fact that prayer will
meet every emergency in human ex-
perience. You Will remember when
the Israelites and God met the emer-
gency. He showed Moses a tree which
when it was cast in the bitter waters
OF Marah they were made go that the
Israelites could drink thereof
The great men of the world have
been men who have prayed to God
and when God said Go Forward"
they have answered to His call. Let
therefore every man when he hears
the sound of Gods voice heed the call
and God will lead him to victory.
In the evening the subject of the
pastor was The Young Mans Battle
for Wife and Home"
In this sermon the Rev. Mr.. Gard
iner layed emphasis upon the impor-
lance of the home and of every young
man choosing a wife who would in
every respect be queen of the home"
He urged husbands and wives and
fathers and mothers to see that love
preside in every home. He closed his
sermon by calling upon the head of
every household to say with Joshua
of old, las for me and my house will
serve the lord"
