EXPLAINS WHY PRAYER

Audience God Waits Until Time

s. d. Gordon continued his quiet Hour

There's a waiting time sometimes be-
tween the first praying and the full answer
But there's always a purpose In IT.
There's a reason for everything God
does or doesn't do or waits in doing. And
it's always a reason of tender love We are
thinking about the thing We're asking. 50
is the Father. But He's thinking about us.
too. And He cares most about us though
He never forgets the thing. lie thinks of
the thing because We want it,.
In the long ago there was woman
named Hannah She had no son Natu-
rally, she longer for a son. For, being
Hebrew woman, She was taught that her
son might be her nations delverer
''She prayed for SON That was an she
thought of--a son in her arms and then
growing up,
But God wanted ana she needed some
thing more-a leader of the nation. There
were no leaders. Worse yet, there We're no
men to make leaders out Of
Worse yet, there were no women through
whom might come men that might be
trained for leadership
That's the lowest level nation ever
reaches, when its women fail. us the high

her the making Of the woman through
whom might come the man God needed,
But she must be changed before she could

FOOD SITUATION IN
HOLLAND IS ACUTE;
RIOTERS DISPERSED

The Hague, Feb. 16.--Serious rioting,
in which the crowds were only dis
persed after repeated charges by po-
lice and Hussars hurriedly called upon
for reinforcements occurred here last
night. The rioters. mostly workmen.
staged their demonstration as a pro-
test against the high cost of food. They
occupied the space in front of the
queens palace and the ministerial
buildings.
The food situation was regarded to-
day as having reached an acute stage
in Holland. small salaried workers find
it almost impossible to obtain coal and
potatoes. Discomfort has been growing
and authorities today did not disguise
their fear of further outbreaks %
probably an even more serious nat ire
than that of last night unless the gov
eminent takes some remedial measures
at once.
Primarily the shortage In food has
been due to the fact that Holland OF all
neutrals is most affected by the block
AIDES which the belligerent nations of
Europe have established about her.
