At the sunset service last night, the |
Rev. Weston Bruner spoke again on
prayer" This was the second talk
of a series on the same subject.
The speaker chose as his theme,
'Does God answer prayer today?"
1--WE live in the most remarkable age
the world has ever seen," he said.
This is Gods age, but greater age
for God is coming in the near future.
The real Christian people are the ones
who are working their way to the
throne. of God by prayer. The victory
will be theirs. 1t is too true that
Satan is marshalling all his forces IN a
mighty effort to destroy Gods chill
,dren, but patient, persistent prayer Is
the wedge which shall pry open all
the devils Vaccinations and bring
them to naught"
Modern Children Have No Respect.
"The most dangerous point Of the
attacks made by Satan is on the home.
We need to pray and to pray earnestly
that the home shall remain inviolate,
that it shall be exalted. that 1t shall
climb back to the standard now par
TALLY lost Satan att ks the home
by means of the children. Children OF
this day have no respect or rever-
ence for old age nor for things
that are sacred.
Lack of time or courage has caused
the abandonment of the family altar.
We need family prayers restored.
"But the worst attack Of the devil
ON the home is his striking at mar
rage. The divorce evil is assuming
alarming proportions. We must be-
lieve that God answers prayer or we
must give this world up to the work
ing of Satan and his cohorts"

Mr.. Dodd. 81 am glad to see that yot
have a school here for the education
of YOUR women, and it is surprising
thing to me that you had 2O5 pupils
here last year after only two years o
,existence. 1t shows that someon'
recognizes the call and is coming.
The speaker declared that the whol
attitude of the Bible toward women

Gard Parties VS.. Service.
Goods call to fashionable women
to drop their nothings, their nner
their card parties and give their tin

things that cause people to admire ye
