LEDGER DAILY PRAYER
CO~MPLIMENTED BY A
FORMER MEXICO RESIDENT

l.. P. Crigler writes from the
Northern Lakes explaining the ben
eft of this feature.
Mexico Ledger.
MACATAWA PARK, Mich, July
"a, 1917. One seldom appreciates
the real good things of this fleeing
life until the sunset period fast APP
proaches. And especially is this
true when we have neglected our abil-
ity to duly appreciate.
Through the kindness Of my wife's
mother, we have been reading the
Evening Ledger during our vacation
and the motive which prompted this
letter to you was aroused by the
reading Of the "Daily Prayer" 1t
would be improper in me to ask, and
perhaps imprudent in your publ
cation to disclose, the author; but
not improper in me to express my ap-
probation of the t~erseness and sa-
credness Of real religion, which they
express.
1t is said that the author of Home
Sweet Home" had no home
and knew little of the endearing en-
vironments of the home; but even if
that be true, and his famous song
only the results of his imaginings, yet
| venture the statement as true, that
the author Of your "Daily Prayer" is
not one unacquainted with God; nor
one who is passing, unheeded, the good
things that God daily bestows on
sometimes unworthy children.
But in your issue Of date July 20th,
your "Daily Prayer" contained the
statement addressed to God, "Let US
not call upon Thee only in our deep
est need" and with that, for the good
it may bring to others, let me take
issue lest it be not understood.
Where is the dividing line between
"needs" and deepest need?" How
bAB Ait LHt tHlbBo We bhVuiu uIlueE-
take without calling on God? How
little are the things we can safely risk
ourselves, in the doing, without Gods
help?
God, who knows and numbers the
hairs Of our heads, who not only knows
but watches every sparrow that falls,
certainly expects us to undertake very
little without calling on Him. Jesus
said, Without Me you can do moth
ing" and love to feel myself 80 de-
pendent upon God, as to realize that
