God to answer prayer; it is utilizing

God. True prayer brings thought into

 The end of the conditioning grind brought with it a marked swing in sentiment among boxing experts toward Willard, the 4O-year-old Kan san, who is attempting one of the most unusual comebacks in prize ring history. When the match was first made, after Willard had knock ed out Floyd Johnson and Firpo eliminated Jack McAuliffe II at the milk fund show two months ago, critics established Firpo as an odds on favorite.
 But the increasingly good form Willard has shown in his workouts at Yonke CTS, N.
