True Nature Of Prayer.

Prayer is a prominent theme through
out the whole Bible. 1t Is the medium
by which God and man are brought in
relation to each other, and 1t is, there
fore. Of the greatest importance that we
do not fall into error as to the true
nature OF prayer.
The scriptures alone enlighten us on
what prayer is and the objects it involves.
and my purpose now is to refresh the
readers mind by way Of remembrance of
what the Bible teaches on this most i'm
portant duty and privilege in the Chris
tian's life and experience.
Much has been written by men con-
corning the posture. time and place and
forms Of prayer.
1t is clear from Bible instances that
true prayer has been offered in the posi-
ton of kneeling, standing and lying
down; SO it may be said that 1.-The only
posture which is wrong in prayer is
impoSture.'
AS to times and places. Christ's words
to the women at the well make 1t plain
that prayer is appropriate at any time
and anywhere.
Neither in this mountain nor in Jeru-

Audible Prayer.

Putting our prayers into words gives
concentration to our thoughts.
Prayer, however, does not consist in
eloquence Of speech. Some of the most
effective prayers ever offered have fallen
from stammerfng tongues; and some of
the most beautifully worded and most
eloquently spoken never reached the Ma
jesty on high.
The true Christian when he prays,
either in public or In secret, prays to
God alone: the hypocrite, when he prays
in the presence Of others, prays to them
and when he prays in secret. he prays
to himself
Prayer should never be anything more
or anything less than sincere communion
with God, and the thought Of choosing
language to please others should have
no place in the heart, yet nearly every
one who prays in public is concerned
much more about pleasing the audience
than he ought to be- Let the whole
heart be in the prayer, and there will be
no room for thought about pleasing men.
It Is not alone of the prayers of the
ideal Christian that we would speak
His prayers are not the only ones that
God hears.

an ideal Christian, but he will not call
himself such. The true Christian Is con-
scious OF how far short he comes of per-
lection. but that does not prevent his
continually striving for it. 1t is the de-
termined effort to be and to do his best.
The ideal workman is one who never
sights his work but does it thoroughly
and as perfectly as it is possible for him
to do it. To do this, it is necessary that
he fully understand his trade and has
the right tools with which to work. So
to become an ideal Christian one must
have thorough knowledge OF his profess
sion and be equipped with everything
necessary to his vocation.
The Bible. as has been said, is God s
tool chest, containing every kind of tool
needed In Christian work.
The Bible Is the complete prayer book
for the world. To understand the i'm
portance of prayer in the life and work
Of the ideal Christian we must turn to the
scriptures.
