Covenant Conditions.
The presence of Israel before the enor-

safeh-a natural altar. in the great ann.
phitheater of the solemn solitudes OF
Sinai-furnished the opportunity of pro-
posing and preparing the great congre-
cation of Israel to enter into an agree
ment with Jehovah to become His chosen
treasure, a kingdom of priests and q
holy nation In this we have the Kernel
of IsraePs power. Their supreme inn
portance was not in the extent OF terri
tory. for Palestine was never larger
than 100 by $50 miles. or in the vast
ness of their population. but in the COW
enant that contained the germ out OF
which grew the kingdom of God that
was implanted in their life as they gath
cred before the mountain of God.
The grace of God had carried them as
an eagle would its own out of all danger
unto His abiding place. where he would
outline the conditions Of His covenant
and set them apart for the ma este
manifestation of His glory. The condi-
one who sought God The man who seeks
to see God today is the one who re-
ceives as did Moses, the messages of the
Almighty concerning His program Tor
men.
The conditions of the mutual agree
ment entered into by Jehovah and Israel
called only for the latter's obedience and
acceptance of the conditions of the cove

carefully consider every agreement tna ma,
we enter into with Him because we VIII
be Judged by our ensaEements 20 kees,

Upon His part God assumed to make
Israel, If they accepted His covenant,
His chosen treasure among all peoples

Gods Willingness.

1t Is not the idea of prayer to approach
stern and unrelenting Sovereign, or
one who is afar off, but to approach
One who is nigh and full of compassion
and love.
THE Lord is nigh UNTO them that are
of broken heart: and saveth such as be
of a contrite spirit" CPS. 34:1s).
The relation of God to prayer is beau
tifully expressed by Phillips Brooks:
Prayer is not the conquering of Gods
| reluctance, but the taking hold of Gods
| willingness
The missionary has every reason for
relying on PRAYER. There can be no
doubt about Gods WILLINGNESS to hear
and answer. We may pray for some
things that we are not certain that 1t is
the will OF God to grant. but there can
be no uncertainty as to His will in re-
| lation to the spread of the gospel
He has promised to give to His
Church the heather for an inheritance
and the uttermost parts of the earth for
a possession" and has declared that the
| time is coming when His glory shall cover
the whole earth as the waters cover the
| seas. We know not the fullness Of time.
but we know that the prayers of His
| people for the evangelization of the
world are agreeable to His will, are be-
| ing answered day by day and are yet to
be fully and completely answered.
The great Master would not have
taught US to pray. Thy kingdom come
! and Thy will be done on earth as in
| heaven" II prayer had nothing to do with
! its coming. This petition In the God
given model of prayer makes it evident
| that prayer is an essential element in
Gods plan for the worlds redemption.

/ Prayers Formula.
There is no more prominent theme in
the Bible than that Of prayer Many fall
into error as to the true nature Of prayer
The Scriptures alone enlighten US on what
prayer is and the objects 1t involves.
A study of Paurs great formula for
prayer given in his letter to the saints in
Ephesus (Eph.. 2:19 will give us an I'M
derstanding about how prayer is to be Of
fered: Through Him we both have &C.
cess by one Spirit unto the Father"
True prayer Is addressed unto the Fa-
ther. through the Son, in the Holy Spirit.
Our prayers must not leave out any one
OF the three persons of the GOdhead. To
pray to the Son and ignore the Father
would not be acceptable worship. Il and
my Father are one" said Christ. To
know the one is to know the other.
To pray to God and not recognize the
Son as divine and equal with the Father
would not gain acceSs-wOuld not be pray
er at all, according to Paul's formula.
And SO it would be if we pray unto both
the Father and the Son and forget the
Holy Spirit. Every act Of worship IL unto
the three In one.
For there are three that bear record

"Lord, Teach Us How to Pray"
How, then, ought we pray? Paul an
swers: Pray unto the Father through
the Son, in the Holy Spirit, For
through Him the Som we both have
access in one Spirit unto the Father
That prayer is essential in all Chris
tan life and endeavor is taught in the
Scriptures and verified by the experience
Of every Christian.
Be not afraid to pray-to pray Is right,
PRAY IL thou canst, with hope
Though hope be weak, sick with long delay:
pray in the darkness IL there be no light
PRAY TO be perfect. though material leaven
Forbid the spirit earth to be,
But IL for any wish thou darest not pray
Then pray to. God to cast that wish away.

LITTLE CHANGE NOTICED
IN POLITICAL SITUATION
ONLY TWO CANDIDATES HAVE
ENTERED RACE FOR GOV
ERNOR OF ARKANSAS.

Little Rock, April Little
hange is noticed in the political stu
tion. The entries some time ago mar
owed to Stephen Brundidge of Scar
cy and G. w Hays of Camden. Both
have visited the city since making
their announcements, and Judge Hays
returned to Little Rock today to make
arrangements for opening his head
quarters. He is consulting with a
number of close friends about the Sc
lection of a campaign manager, the
announcement being expected Tues
day
Judge Brundidge is also consider
ing a campaign manager, and among
those mentioned for the place are DR..
A. E. Moore, former State Auditor
J John R. Jobe and Judge R. F. Milwee
of Clarendon. DR.. Moore managed
two Campaigns for Judge Brundidge,
but has now retired from politics and
is practicing medicine in the northern
part of Faulkner county. He will as
sist in the campaign work when pos
sible, but cannot be counted on for
the grind. Mr.. lobe will also assist in
the work, and lend his advice, but as
he is now connected with the Office of
the state treasurer, he will not neglect
that to go into a political campaign.
Judge Milwee managed the first two
Donaghey campaigns and has always
been considered a winner. Others
have been mentioned as possible man.
ayers of the Brundidge campaign, but
it will all be guess work until the re-
turn of Judge Brundidge to make def
mite announcement.
There is some doubt of the Brun
didge headquarters being maintained
in Little Rock, the candidate looking
with more favor upon Searcy, his
home town. Branch headquarters
would, in this case, be located in Little
Rock, but the bulk of the work would
be done in Searcy. This plan origi-
mated with former Governor Dona-
ghey, who did all of his circular work
from CONWAY.

and to settled conviction.
Any effort on the part of the NUM-
cipal or health authorities to set
forth reasons for health protection,
and results from cooperative activity
will be appreciated by large number
of well-meaning but busy citizens.
Unique methods have given good re-
turns, for example, IN Oklahoma,
there was ordered a health week.
Monday was cleanup day for the
back yards, streets and alleys; Tues
day, cleaning and identifying front
yards; Wednesday, school children's
day; Thursday, public discussion of
state health rules; Friday, inspection
by city commissioners.
Another effective plan of the same
type-"a see-thy-self" week.-Mrs.
been tried. Following survey, pub
Tic district meetings are conducted;
speakers in simple language make
known their condition, illustrating
with slides, and present remedies Civ
ing approximate cost.
Any audience gathered to discuss
health topics does not need to be re-
minded that the greatest difficulty is
lack of sufficient funds. The Install
ing of necessary utilities which is an
essential, is expensive and often
thought beyond the community purse
This, too, has been made practical
in many places through education of
the people in the economy of this
form of expenditure. If the truths of
sanitary science were understood,
there would be an adequate health
budget, even if bonds were necessary.
To enforce sewer connection in
small places often works hardship
on many wage-earners. A loan fund
system, backed by the municipality,
has been made helpful in few cities
having a large low wage-earning pop
ulation.
Another interesting experiment in
administrative work is the employ
ment of expert service jointly by sew
eral communities. A trained sanitary
officer is invaluable, but such men
"come high" Inefficient service may
be worse than none. 1t is economy to
secure the best. For supervision or
sanitary engineering work this meth
cd could be made satisfactory for five
OR more neighboring cities.
In European countries, where
through governmental agency, hy-
gienic essentials have been establish
ed for years, many social health expe-
riments have been tried To give ac-
tive encouragement to the special fea-
lures of cleanliness, in London, areas,
side streets, and even sections of pop
ular thoroughfares are roped off, for
specified hours, as play places for the
crowded tenements. These street
areas are specially clean and the po-
lice act during the evening hours as
play supervisors. Some of the gay
lest and happiest pictures of continen-
tai life are social gatherings of work
ing men and women planting vines
and flower seeds for the identification
of vacant lots London has ins.Igu-
rated an inspection service for the
homes in some quarters of the city.
Regulations concerning open windows
and proper methods of cleaning are
enforced. Even the conservative En-
glishman has opened "his castle to
the health authorities of the dawning
health age.
ANY one visiting clean cities like
Havana and Berlin can not but be
