DISCUSSED BY

and comfort Of faith for myself and
others, long to believe in God in an
intimately personal sense II conviction
can square with reason.
Can you suggest in simple language
evidence for such a belief-something
other than trustful acceptance of sort
Of mental and emotional opiate?
A. Be on your guard against the as
sumption that the psychological de-
scription OF any given human expert
ence is the final explanation of that
experience. Our spiritual life is as COM
pletely controlled by law as our physical
life. In order to be healthy in body
there are certain courses We must pur-
sue and others we must avoid. This
process implies that there is a reality
with which we make definite contact by
our actions. These put us in touch
with the laws of physical welfare. It
is in doing, not in specializing, that we
satisfy LIES reSistleSS demands. Would
you cease to eat because you do not
understand the chemical reactions and
physiology OF eating, or say that in eat
ing you were really deceiVing yourself?
Consider the law that governs your
spiritual being. It's evidence is clear
and unmistakable in your own ex-
perience. So much you concede in
your question. Yet you hesitate to

a larger and a nobler life. Why this
hesitation, when undeniable proofs
exist that prayer makes a difference
in the spiritual life as surely as do
hygienics and proper diet in the
physical?
Your objection is doubtless that the
difference is due to a self-induced state
of mind. What If it is, provided that
state elevates and energies your soul?
1t is far more reasonable to consider
the possibility that prayer is the di-
vinely ordained means for this inward
elevation and energizing.
Prayer is action. 1t leads to results.
You rise from your knees better man,
with a firmer will, a clearer Judgment,
a loftier purpose. Devout people pray
because they covet these spiritual gifts.
If we believe In the God whom Christ
revealed we must also necessarily be-
lieve that such gifts are In accordance
with His will.
Place these realities together-the
reality that the very act Of prayer
affects desirable changes in you and
the rest of us with the fact that,
from all we know of the God of the
prophets and of the Christ, those
changes have His countenance and sup
port. Review the whole case as thus
presented and where is the difficulty of
believing that prayer is that law by
obedience to which men and women
are more intimately related to the
Father Of all souls.

A prominent educator recently said
that people were more interested in the
recreation of the tired man than they
were in the recreation of the lost man.
The Christians first business is to help
restore the past image of the Creator,
that has been effaced by sin. Men are
commencing to understand the close re-
lationship that exists between the
recreational activities Of people and
their religious experience. They are
realizing that genuine spiritual service
can be performed in the development of
Christian character by supervised
recreational activities. Workers with
children know that it is easier to save
a childs soul and develop his char
acter through play, properly directed,
than it is to reclaim him after he has
been brought into juvenile court. II
there were no relationship between rec
reation and spiritual service this lesson
would never have been assigned.
Many sincere Christians oppose the
active part by the Christian people in
the recreational program of the commu-
nifty. They fail to find any evidence
in their study of the Old Testament
that the Hebrew people ever took any
active part in recreational activities.
The Jews have always been a serious
people and they did not look with favor
upon play. The Greeks and the Ro-
mans went to the extreme in their in
terest in abilities. During the days of
the Maccabean period, when Greek cul-
ture was making its inroads upon Jul
daism in Judea and elsewhere, one Of
the sources of the antagonism Of the
older and strict Jews to the Maccabean
influence was due to the fact that 1t
carried with it the theater and gym
naSium The PuritanS took similar
position. In fact, it will be difficult to
find in either the Old or New Tesla
ment any specific instructions in refer
ence to recreation. The selections as
signed for our consideration do not fur
nish any definite instructions concern
ing play, yet play preceded work in all
generations known to man. In every
excavation of the past the archeologiSt
comes across the playthings Of the child.
The Christians Duty.
While the Scriptures are silent con-
corning specific directions in reference
to recreation, the references to play re-
veal the principles that should guide the
Christian in performing his duty in re-
gard to all forms of recreation. The
| followers of the Lord Jesus will find
in His principles a demand that calls
for them to face the problem of recre-
alton. which, with the development of
cities and industrial expansion, has
taken from men the older opportunity
of play, which is part of life itself
| Commercialism reduces the number Of
participants in all recreational activities
Money, and not the value of play, has
determined the standards and the
character of much of our modern recre'
! ational life. This develops the profes'
sional and frequently is the foundation
of much of our modern iniquity. Sur
veys of great cities have revealed thu
fact that some of the commercial ant
professional amusements breed i'm
morality-public dance halls, cheal
theaters. and other amusement center
are surrounded by. vicious: dangers ant
are breeding places ct, - 4nSia
