The Weekly PreceptOr
RELIGION and ETHICS

Floyd Collins, pinned underneath
tons of earth and rock, prayed for
deliverance, but said; "Thy will be
done" Was his prayer answered -?
Perhaps so. At least we like to think
il was.
But "Thy will be DONE has many
loopholes. To the unbelieving 1t
sounds like a concession made to a
Grecian oracle. whatever the out
come it may be construed as the
divine will.
But to believers the quotation does
not suggest a subterfuge to avoid
actual unbelief. 1t is perfectly just
concession to the divine mind. 1t is
also a confession of the frailty of the
human mind to grasp the divine,
eternal purpose.
Better, it is an expression of humil-
ity by which the human soul is eXalt-
ed to divine favor. This in reality
i sthe end to be gained by prayer.
The mere matter of living a few
days or years longer may be of little
consequence when weighed in the
scales of the eternal purpose. The
matter of obtaining a renewal of
bodily yigor, or a few extra crumbs
of bread through prayer may also be
of trihling consequence.
1t is the spirit of thanksgiving in
which such minor blessings are re-
ceived which counts immeasurably in
preparing the soul for a higher plain
in the spiritual world.
Prayer is merely an attitude of the
-soul-an attitude of belief-of har-
mony with the divine will The ma
terial answer may therefore be of no
consequence whatever, though it is Of
the utmost importance that God be
given the credit due Him for whatever
good may come to US, however small.

The editors reason for opposing
the state constabulary bill is its
futility, and the unnecessary cost it
imposes upon the state. Another
reason which is even more important
is that such a bin provides prntec-

expense of the taxpayers.
